I am not normally one to pay a lot for premium grade meat for BBQ, but... my butcher has Wagyu Tri-Tip on sale for $11.99/lb and Prime brisket for $3.99/lb this week. Both prices are through the 10th, so I am trying to figure out if I can earn enough "wife points" by next Wednesday to justify a $30 Tri-Tip and a $50 brisket. If you don't hear from me next weekend, I am either cooking the two greatest pieces of meat ever or I am dead. ???

:D
That sounds like a fun time..if you live!
-
I would jump on the brisket but 11.99 a lb for tri..wagu or fukasaki or whatever they call it is highway robbery.......just sayin ;)

Dead men usually don't talk?

My mistake. Condolences to Mrs. SB then. ;)

Isn't your last meal supposed to be the best?
I say go for it! ;)
-
Muebe is right!! Go for you only live once!

I agree w/ smoke. Way to much money for the tri tip.

Thanks for the thoughts folks. ;)

I ended up doing neither of them. My wife made plans for the weekend, and there was no way I was going to freeze meat that expensive.
The other issue was I got a complete B.S. speeding ticket . I was blocked in at a light and needed to change lanes to get to the side of the road that the street I needed to get home was on. I sped up for about two seconds to get in front of traffic, and saw lights. I even knew the cop was there. that's how ridiculous it was. Need proof of what a cash grab tickets are... In Texas you can do deferred disposition, pay your fine and go on probation for 90 days without the ticket ever being reported if you don't do it again while on probation.
I didn't have the nerve to spend any extra money after dropping $170 on the ticket.
-
$170 is pocket change. Try getting a speeding ticket in California! ???

Heck, I gotta ticket last month for making a right turn when the sign said no right turns between 7-9 a.m. and that sucker was 283.00 bucks............... >:(

I had two fix-it tickets that ended up being close to $400 with court costs. A speeding ticket out here will start at $400!

I will take a ticket anyday over the $3800 veterinary bill I just got for my cat for a eight day stay and they still really did not pinpoint what was wrong with him. But he is pulling through :)
-
Ouch in the ticket prices. I will never ever complain again. My last speeding ticket was for $35. Going 79 in a 70. Which to this day I swear it was going 72.

I think steep prices for both are too much but you only live once and you can say the best you ever had whether it was or not! ;D I like to drive in PA they tell you on signs how much it will cost you to speed in 10 MPH increments! Don

I'd jump all over that prime brisket for that price!
-
Y'all made me feel better about my $170 ticket. Thanks.

One thing I have learned when it comes to bbq related purchases... it easier to beg forgivness than ask permission.

Not sure how I pulled it off, but I lived through a couple of weeks and my butcher let me have some wagyu for a little better the original sale price. I picked up 2 tri-tips (a 2.5 lb and a 2 lb) and a 10 lb brisket (wagyu - the original sale was for prime, so this is an even better deal IMO). Total price was around $90. I am not sure what my plans are yet except that I will be cooking the brisket this weekend for sure. Might do one of the tri-tips medium and one trisket. I might freeze the tri-tips for a later cook. I'll post a new thread later.
