Good day at Costco

[Smoke on Badger Mountain]

Stopped at the Costco in Bend OR, on the way back from my last river trip. I was very happy at what I found.


I bought some ice, picked up a couple of these babies and brought them back.



This was our kitchen for the last two weeks. Sorry, the pic was taken before the post breakfast clean up.

I've had similar luck at local Costcos. Cooked one this week and will post pix early next week. Nice to find prime beef at a reasonable price. Now, if i could only find similar quality pork butt and ribs . . .

Found those at the local Costco last week. Don't think I've ever seen them there before. Third brisket in about 5 weeks, but it sure made for a nice family get together.

Nice score, have not seen them that price at my Costco for some time now.

My favorite thing to get there.

So, did you guys fish or what? 2 weeks with that kitchen seems like a long time!

My Costco is about as useful as a flashlight in the sunshine. Choice flats only and slim picking at best. But, that is the Northeast for you :sad:

Love your kitchen!
Everything tastes better cooked in those kitchens.

Wow, $2.79/lb for prime, congrats. Never seem to find deals like that at my Costco.

Yes, it was a fishing trip on the Deschutes

Great score on the beef Josh! I like the looks of your camp site too. Did you catch any fish?

Nice find! Like you I stumbled upon the prime packers at a local Costco for $2.69/lb. I'm thinking they're temporarily stocking for the Rosh Hashanah holiday. I need more freezer space.

I bet nobody went hungry at the camp. Good score on the brisky.

$2.69 for Prime at the Costco here in Petaluma, Ca! Just started carrying it this week!! That's a pretty big deal because NO ONE around here carries ANY packer briskets. I was either driving a couple hours to the AF base ($2.39 for Choice) or ordering them from a butcher shop and paying $8 a pound. Got one on the KAT right now & 2 others in the deep freeze. Actually went and bought a deep freeze this week just to stock up!

$2.99 a pound at both of my local Costco's last Friday. They normally have them all year now. Varies by about 50 cents a pound.

Also been getting prime tri tip there and the difference between their choice tri tip and prime tri tip is only about 40 cents a pound. That prime tri tip is wonderful and have two in the freezer now.

Need another fridge to add storage and for space for day before prep work. Only way to go.

With a little luck (I'm still a newbie) here is a photo of how that Costco brisket cooked up the other day.
