Just went shopping for my first comp coming up this weekend. I went to GFS (gordon food service) to get a brisket, this is where I have been getting all my practice briskets. The quality has always been good, they are choice briskets from Excel and they have whole packers. Unfortunately, they only had 2 and neither looked great so I decided to shop around, btw they were $3.79/lb.
Then I went to Walmart (not to excited about it but....) they had the same choice Excel brand and a much better selection for $2.97/lb so I got a nice 15 pounder.
When I stopped at Sam's (next door to Wally World)to get the rest of my meat, they only had flats (but they are Angus) for $5.79 /lb.
So, did I shoot myself in the foot buying the Walmart version?
Has anyone else used Wally World Brisky for comps?
Does Angus usually sell for $2 more a pound?
How can Sam's sponsor a BBQ comp and not sell whole packers? (I've asked several times and was told they can't even order whole packers at this location)
