its a flat
around here they are always 2X + more than a packer
I'm on the verge of chartering a flight to Texas to buy about 10 dozen full packers, sell all but a few of them up here and make enough to pay for the charter, and fund a trip to Disney World for the whole family.
You know, that's always mystified me, brisket is brisket and it's not like it takes several man hours to separate a flat from a point! Those yo-yo's probably grind the best part of the brisket (the point) into hamburger and then they want one of your more valuable appendages before they'll sell you their flat!?!:crazy:its a flat

Yeah, I bought two packers last week at the Elgin Wally World for $2.98 per lb., they had nice, thick flats and the fat caps were already trimmed down pretty much the way I like em'!:grin:I don't even look at just flats,.. so IDK what the prices are. But,...my packer was under 3$ a lb. and super trims,..(full packers that are trimmed by the butcher.... quiet nicely too) were only 4$ and some change. which I thought was too high... Perspective...
I too will do a little prayin for you guys. ray: high beef prices, bitter cold winters... yuk.... :tsk: You guys are troopers !!
Costco up here has them well over that, around $6.50/lbBought the last packer for $3.98/lb at Costco. I would talk with Sam's or Costco and have them get you some. Good luck.

I can't wait to see what the meat dept. has in stock over at the Bastrop HEB when they're done remodeling it!:wink:
Yeah, my job takes me into several grocery stores in and around Bastrop County and I can tell you that the HEB in Bastrop will be every bit as busy as any Austin store, they really needed the extra square footage their getting!That's where I get mine. :thumb: It's huge in there now. They aren't done yet,.. but damn.... It's a giant.
Walmart in Glen Burnie carries full packers. Last time I was there they were $3.68 a pound. The sad part is last year they were $2.38 a pound.You can't even find full packers up here. They are just not sold in normal retail stores. I gotta find me a good butcher.
