Jealous, jealous, jealous....
Found cryovaced packers at Sobey's today $70+ apiece, didn't even look at the price per lb.
To rich for my blood.

It’s definitely a regional thing. No briskets for that price here in Houston.

Just got back from Kroger, they had none 😞

Are you cooking them whole or with the point separated from the flat?

Darn, must be a regional sale, my local Kroger isn't even close to that price

[Panhead John]

Thanks for this post Jim! Gonna be at my Kroger later today, will definitely check it out.

EDIT: It’s a regional sale. No briskets for that pice around here.

I've been seeing these and grabbing one or two as freezer space allows. I love those briskets for around $35!

I was in Kroger yesterday, nominally to get coffee creamer for Yvonne on my way home from church, and as I always do in any store I go into, I detour through the meat department. They had some nice big USDA choice briskets packed by Swift for $1.99 per pound! There was a limit of 2 per customer, but the sale pricing is through tomorrow according to their webpage. With brisket up around $5 per pound at Costco and Sam's right now, I snapped 2 up.

I got a 20 pounder and a 22 pounder. Even after I trim fat, I imagine these are large/long enough that I may end up having to bust out the offset whenever I decide to cook these bad boys...

Now the challenge is to make freezer space for them! I've got a 7 cubic foot chest freezer that is packed already, a side by side freezer, and two top-freezer fridges out in the garage, and I've been shoving all the ribs, pork and beef I found on sale into them for the past month or two...

Anyway - check Kroger.com and see if your local store has the sale. Definitely worth checking it out at this price. I've only done prime packers to date, but at these prices, decided to take a gamble.
