Here in NC Sam's Club has Prime Brisket for $2.98 a pound. Not sure how long it will last.

I was just at the Sam's Club in Allentown, PA.  $2.98/# for prime packer brisket and $4.98/# for choice.  I don't really understand that other than the supply of prime must be too high right now.  I only bought one because I bought 2 choice briskets at Giant on Saturday for $2.98/#.  Now I have about 50# of beef brisket in my fridge in the garage to do something with this weekend.  Probably one for hamburger, one for burnt ends, and one for sliced brisket.

Hmm I'm low on ground beef. Might have to go grab a brisket or two.

I saw a meat processor/market pop up on my facebook. I looked the address and figured it is only about 45 minute drive. We had plans change for last Saturday so off we went. The GF is not the meat market type, but they had baked good to so I knew she would be happy.
 I got a nice looking bone in chuck roast for $6 a pound, they had Arm roasts for the same I was going to get one of those before I found the chuck. Most of it is vac sealed and frozen. They had beef, pork and some lamb but no chops, I would have bought some of those. The Gf has never had them. They made up burgers with jalapeno and pepper jack cheese, about 1/2 pound burgers $8 a pound, packs of ground beef were $6 a pound these were not froze. Strip steaks were $9 I believe. I got a pack of sweet and hot jerky it was $33 a pound I think it was in about 1/4 pound packs. It was pretty good, as were the burgers and the burgers made from the ground beef. Will try the chuck probably tomorrow. It was worth the trip and she got chocolate chip cookies for $6 a dozen that she really liked, so I am set, we can go there again because of the cookies.

Slightly off topic with a discussion on beef, but for the second time in the last 2-3 weeks, Sam's Club had no frozen raw chicken wings, no pork ribs, and no pork shoulders.

I have been watching mainly brisket. It has been 5.99 a pound for the last month. Two months ago it just wasn't available. I saw yesterday it dropped to 4.99 a pound. it is normally 2.99 a pound. This is for Costco prime grade. I have a wedding I am cooking 5 briskets for at the end of July so I have been watching to see how much more it is going to cost the family I am cooking for. I am glad it is coming down as double the price can be hard to swallow.

Fredericksburg, VA Costco USDA Prime brisket. $3.99/lb, up about .60¢.  Choice Chuck $5.59/lb, (not completely sure) about the same.  Top Round $8/lb, about double. Belly, $2.99/lb, unchanged.  Spare Ribs $3.99/lb, up about $1.50.  Whole (11-15 lb.) Rib Roast $12.99/lb up about $4.  Whole NY Strip $9.99/lb up about $2.  Pork Loin unchanged, and twin pack of boned butt, $1.98/lb up about .20¢.  80/20 GB about $3.99/lb up about .60¢.

Could only by 2 - four packs of butter at a time, which seemed strange to me.  Limiting butter sales, are you all hording butter?

Was there a limit on beef purchases?  I haven't been to a Costco in over a month and there was a 2 item limit on any meat purchase at that time.   Hoarding butter-yikes what is next?

I will have to ask Bent if he remembers.  I don't recall seeing any signs limiting beef, fish or pork, but there was a limit of two on chicken purchases.  The strange thing about the butter is it was just packed with butter and did not look like anyone was buying.

I do not recall any limits on beef or pork, but I was not paying attention to it!

I drove by our meat market and the sign out front with the weekly specials said T-bone $9.97 (probably Choice) and pork steaks $1.97.  I might get some pork steaks because they are usually fatty and I scored a 22 inch Blackstone for Father's Day and need to cook something like that to help season it.  No one has wanted bacon yet but me.

I believe I would by some T-bones at that price.  I truly cannot remember the last time I had a T-bone or Porterhouse!

I remember about 5 years ago when you used to be able to get porterhouse on sale for $6/#.  I would pick out everyone that had a big fillet on the bone and buy whatever they had on the shelf.

I can see your point.  They are waaayyy better than pork steak, even when they are choice.  I'll run it by the girls.

Wife scored what looks to be 70/30 ground beef at a Mor For Less in Indiana at 2$/lb.!!
