This is a good time to stock up on a few briskets to last until the July 4th sales.

Pretty sure it’d be cheaper just to grab a couple at Costco or Sam’s, even at regular price…. 🧐

My wife and I passed on brisket that was on sale for $2.99, thinking that wasn’t a good enough sale. In Texas, $1.99/lb (or less) happens at most grocery stores in May (Memorial Day), July (July 4), and September (Labor Day).

Not just any HEB will do, though you're in a high population density area so would be more likely to have this offering if available. In our more rural area, the same St. Louis ribs are "on sale" at $2.49 and the brisket is at regular price (around a couple bucks higher per).

After smoking my first USDA prime brisket
I’ll probably never smoke another choice brisket ever again. USDA prime is almost fool proof.
