On the way home from the dentist I decided to stop at Krogers to pick up some necessities. Strolled by the meat department and noticed that they had choice briskets on sale for $1.99/lb. So I picked up a 12.23 lb. They only had 3 left, the other 2 didn't look good (lot of fat) and didn't past the bend test.
Normally $4.99/lb on sale for $1.99/lb

Trimmed. Took off about 2.5lbs of trimmings.

All trimmed. This looks like a good one. Flat is pretty even thickness. And there is a clear delineation between the flat and the point. Now I have to decide if I want to cook it as one piece or point and flat separate. I ordered some beef tallow from Amazon so I guess I have time before I have to make a decision.

Good lookin' piece of meat.
And a great price!!
I have noticed the price on briskets being a bit lower lately, but nothing like that deal.
Nice find.

Dang I need to find some of those

I just came from Costco and prime was $5.99/lb. This is about twice what is was just a short time ago. It is hard to believe that there are just price differences between stores and areas.
