Prime Brisket Prices
Posted on 4/13/25 at 10:54 am

Was in NOLA Costco yesterday and saw USDA Prime briskets were $11.50/lb. I feel like just a few weeks ago they were $4.99/lb. Did I miss something? Thought it was mislabeled or that maybe it was waygu or something. Anyone else seeing similar?

Can't say I've ever seen it priced anywhere near that high in any store.
I can't remember the store now, but a couple weeks ago I saw Prime Brisket for $3.99 a lb. and was tempted to buy one but I try to get my freezer as empty as possible prior to hurricane season coming around and didn't want a large chunk of meat in there.

Yeah, I thought for sure I was going crazy.

Same. Although Rouses near me had three mislabeled a month ago and were $2.50/lb and couldn't help myself. They were grossly misshapen and like 22lb each, but I have a meat grinder and time. Will make ground beef and tallow with the trimmings.

Ground beef at $2.50 a lb. is a bargain even if you are grinding it yourself. I like to grind my own and also use pork butts to make just about all my pork sausage. I make Italian, Boudin, Andouille, Green Onion and Hot sausage and save a lot of money doing it myself.
Plus, it's consistent from batch to batch once I got the recipes down pat to my preference.

Prime briskets were $4.99/lb. At Costco this morning (South Bend, IN). I thought it was ridiculous. I guess the days of $2.99 or $3.50 are gone.

some costcos have wagyu, so it definitely could have been that, but last time I saw it, it was $5.99/pound,

Should have bought one and went ahead and smoked it.
Problem solved.

shite I went to Costco Sunday and saw they had an $8 off sale on chuck roasts. Sounds great until you realize most were priced at $60

I actually picked one of those up, lol. The price wasn't bad after the $8 comes off.

No big bargain, but Rouses is advertising prime briskets for $XXX a lb. in this weeks sale ad that starts today and runs until next Tuesday.
Had to come correct this. The ad I got by e-mail said $4.97 a lb. and in today's paper the price is $3.97 a lb. for prime brisket and that is a good savings.

Stop thinking Costco is default the lowest price just because of the Costco halo. H-E-B Prime 1 is $5.99 a pound. I know you're not in Texas, but hit Rouse's or whatever, as another poster suggested.

BR Costco last Thursday 4/10. The $11.50/lb wasn't for Prime it must have been for Wagyu or something else. These were $2.99 in the good old days.

Came back to reply to this
Had an early appointment and was going to swing by Costco to see if what I saw was really an anomaly or a mistake. Forgot they don't open until 10AM however, just decided to swing by Rouses and saw the $3.97/lb deal. No brainer. Picked one up for Easter weekend. Cheapest I've seen it anywhere recently.
Still want to go back to Costco and figure out wtf that $11.50/lb was about.

That's for a trimmed brisket but still far too high. I saw the ones Rouses has for $3.97 a lb. and you'll probably lose at least 4 lbs. trimming down the large fat cap.

Thank you!! I almost went back specifically to take a picture

Think they only sell trimmed, and they've always been in the $3-5 range. NEVER >$10 like that.

Yeah that's the normal price. So weird. I'm assuming the $11.50 was a mistake.
