Sourcing Brisket Points in N Virginia?

I seem to be able to find flats everywhere, but can never find whole packers briskets or points in N VA. Anyone have any suggestions on where I might find some?

I can get them at Publix here. They are a little high though. Sam's Club and Cosco both have them. Any restaurant supply store. Do you have any specialty butchers in your area?Large BGE Decatur, AL

If you don't mind paying a premium because it's a local joint and doesn't have the leverage that a Costco does, Springfield Butcher and the Organic Butcher of McLean both carry packers.As far as more cost-effective places, another Egger suggested joining the KCBS and getting day passes to Restaurant Depot (in Alexandria), which I plan to do. Costco, as far as I've ever seen, only has the flats up here in NOVA.[Northern] Virginia is for [meat] lovers.

My butcher in Mt airy has packers. That may be a haul for you.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have to try some of the butcher shops.

@SaturdayFatterday thanks for the suggestion. I moved to NOVA from Austin Texas and it's been difficult finding packer briskets up here, I bought two yesterday from Giant but at a premium and were only 8 pounds! what the hell!? (I miss Texas) i bought my egg from the Organic Butcher in McLean, how big and at what price were they selling? I will have to check them out

@The Cen-Tex Smoker you are right I didn't see the post as it related to 2013...anyhow, having trouble finding big enough briskets here in northern virginia though, i used to find them regularly IN Austin. Paid a premium for a 9lber the other day.

don't sweat it- it happens all the time. Was just playing around a little. I would imagine it's way easier to find good brisket here that many other places. Costco seems to be the great equalizer for those outside the motherland. The fancy mail order briskets are another option, but most of those make the premium you paid look like chump change. We are spoiled here for sure. I can pick through 6-8 wagyu briskets at $6.99 lb 3 minutes from my house (sorry to rub it in).
