    I tried this with our local Costco but the manager told me that the local stores have no control over which cuts their meat departments carry. It is a regional decision and they don't seem to want to listen to their customers about what they want the store to carry. I think this is very short-sighted of them and the manager agreed but he has no part in the decision process.

    Was kind of surprised but glad to see these in Grand Rapids MI yesterday. Probably the only packers in town.

    You have a restaurant depot there in Marietta get a KCBS membership the angus briskets are under $3 a pound there.
    I'm looking for prime. Those angus ones at RD at okay at best. 
    I know the supply chain varies by region but they are better than any Costco Brisket I've ever cooked of any grade. I got rid of my Costco membership because I was like 0-5 cooking Costco briskets. Longest slump I've had since I learned what the hell I was doing. Once I got off Costco briskets, slump over. I know some people down here like them but every time someone at work calls me and says "what did I do wrong" I start with "where did you buy it"? RD Superior Angus are great briskets. And I will take a CAB brisket over any prime brisket anywhere. 
    That's interesting. I would have thought that the Costco prime would have been superior to anything RD had to offer. My local RD is a sad looking dilapidated store. Not saying a run down place can't have good products, but I would think the odds would be against it.

    Ours is pretty nice. I've never been to any location outside of Austin but I know that some of the better bbq restaurants here are running the RD Superior Angus Briskets. I've done a few of them and they are really good.

    If I could get prime brisket for $2.99, I'd be in a permanent meat coma.

    I was there the other day and saw them. My wife wanted to take my picture due to the pure joy i showed as i quickly picked one out. Hopefully this will be a regular thing.

    That's great news.  Maybe that means we will get them up here in Lancaster, PA, someday soon.

    Were the flats and packers really the same price?

    I was at Costco in Houston on Richmond yesterday and they have plenty of prime brisket packers in stock.  I am not sure of the price as I did not buy one.  I will post the price next time I go there.

    Yeah meant costco specifically, but thanks for the tips. I usually go to local butcher, but may have to take the drive to shady maple on a saturday or sunday morning and hit the breakfast then grab some briskets.  B)

    Anyone in Atlanta area who's close to the Morrow Business Costco?  I found Prime Brisket on the business website.(Link below)  They seem willing to deliver to 30339, but, not 30080.  I was wondering if they carry it as a regular item in that store and if we could just pickup just one brisket or do we have to get a whole case.  At $.289/lb, getting a case may not be a bad idea...

    I called Costco a while back and no stores in the metro were carrying them. Says it'll ship to my zip 30062. Looks like a case is 14 briskets.

    Local Costcos,  Sacramento Area of CA have prime packers from $2.29-$2.99/lb.   I've watched them bounce between these prices for the past year or so.
