Pork and chicken mentioned. What I need is lower priced beef brisket.

Bacon still hovering around $8 lb. locally. Wonder why demand is falling

Wish I could get that here. Shoulders and shank hams are about $1.98 a pound when on sale and I just bought a chuck roast for $6.67 a pound. Just bought chicken for $2.82 a pound so I was happy that came down some finally and bought a bunch for the freezer.

The first thing I thought of when the article said there was an oversupply of pork and chicken was why haven't the prices came down at all. They have, just not in my area I guess.

When prices go up do the ever really come down?

Edit: Black Friday and Cyber Monday, sorry I forgot.

That, they do not and for Black Friday and Cyber Monday they jack the standard prices up higher to mark them down more to be the same price.

This week I saw both Choice packer brisket for $4.49, and Prime briskets available for $4.99 at our local Alexandria Costco. Not terribly cheap, but nice to see Prime brisket return.

Hey @Mannydog ,my last choice brisket that I purchased from that Costco was my best yet.

For some strange reason my best have always been choice also. I don’t get it.

I'm at a loss, too!

I’m a Prime/Choice snob on some cuts of beef, but not brisket. I have a 13# Choice brisket from Kroger thawing right now to go on the smoker tomorrow. I’ll not turn down Prime brisket if it’s an option, but otherwise I won’t pay a big premium for it. Also, don’t get me started on buying Wagyu brisket. Made that mistake once…
