Same here. Brisket is a rare treat at my house.I'm in the 7$ per lb northeast. Another reason to move south!!!
That's as good a price as I've seen this year...nice find! Last Fall, Mrs. Red stumbled upon choice brisket for $1 a lb...but she only picked up 3 of them! Those 3 are long gone, and now I'm looking for sales again.
Man, did I score big today!! One of our local stores had a bunch of surplus packer briskets they didn't sell for St Paddys, so they just put them on sale for $1.99 lb until gone. I scored 5 of them! Now when I lived in Texas, that was a pretty standard price, but up here, we were paying damn near $7 a pound for brisket last year, with absolutely no holiday sales, so finding some at $2 a pound is striking the mother lode!!!! Sure glad I had freezer space.
I've never been through that part of the state...always heard it was pretty down that way...
I'm in the southern mountains - north tip of the Sacramentos, up over 7,000 feet. We are about 25 miles north of Ruidoso. We couldn't find the right retirement property in the Texas Hill Country, so we packed everything up and move out here to live with the elk.
That is in response to censorship and tiny minds of some individual(s) on this site. I posted a rather lighthearted rant about a serious subject - how the fools at Texas A&M have completely destroyed the jalapeño for all of us; it is virtually impossible to buy a real one anymore. Obviously I upset someone, and Zippy's response was to totally delete the post without even communicating with me in any way. I do not accept that type of fascist behavior.OP, why are you deleting your posts?

I do not know if anything I post has any value, but I DO know that I do not want my words or thoughts associated with any site that welcomes Zippy the Pinhead or Little Hitler as a moderator.
