I bought one two weeks and it was marked at 3.79 per pound. I complained to the meat market manager and dropped the price to 1.99 per pound. I also refuse to pay 4.00 per pound for meat that takes all day and night to make tender.

walmart had them 2.59 a few weeks ago, now they are 3.29 so check them out. That seems a lot more reasonable tha $4 a pound.
I only lie when I tell the truth.

dang it ... every time I see this thread come back up to the top of the list, I get excited thinking someone is posting where brisket might be on sale ... speaking of, what is the next holiday that the stores might put brisket on sale??? Maybe Saint Patrick's day, Easter, others?

Boy, that's another cut of meat that's gotten outrageous. My wife and I used to do one of those a week, it was really easy to grill them so the thin side was medium for her, thick side was rare-med rare for me. Used to be able to pick up a good sized one for 5-6 bucks and fill the both of us. Then some fruit loop on the cooking channel did a show on them, and they got popular.

I'll be plucking like a old hen before long,have gone to pork and yard bird. I know the drought has hurt but beef has gone out of sight thanks to the ethanol hiking corn prices. It's a joke. Diesel prices are down but food is getting higher. It's not the ethanol that's raised prices, it's the drought. Lots of ranchers including us sold off a couple years ago due to having to feed them out of the back of a truck.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.

After Easter we should see a little relief on beef prices, The Primal's, re; ribeye, strips and tenderloin have seen big drops after the holidays but will begin to rise again as we move into summer..
Pork is your best bargain right now, looks like the new Texas BBQ will be Carolina Bone In Pork Butt !!!

They are showing a weakening market cause everybody quit buying them cause of high price.
Getem now, they will head back up the warmer the weather gets.
I've got 250 cases Swift Choice Briskets I can sell for 3.17lb but you gotta be one of my customers...sorry

Good luck! I keep a close eye on the HEB fliers in our area and haven't seen brisket on sale in months.

yep, I get email updates every week or couple times a week ... lots of pork on sale almost weekly ... but whatever became of the .99/lb packer briskets from years gone by? I should have bought a couple hundred and put in the freezer, and sell them now for $4/pound money maker!
