Man, you would hate to pay the prices they charge up here in Ontario, Canada! You don't find packer briskets in the grocery stores at all. You don't even find them at Costco around here.
You would have to go to a Butcher shop....and if they had one or two......you would be paying around $9.99 per pound. I find they require so much trimming that I end up throwing about $40 bucks or more worth of fat in the trash! At this rate, I might as well smoke prime rib roasts!
I just found some real nice ones in the Ottawa area which is about 5 hours from us. This company delivers to our area for $30. They have 12 - 15 pounders for $75.00 each and they look like real nice cuts. I bought a couple and will smoke the first in a few weeks.
The prices you guys are quoting is just unheard of from my experience. Our local Walmart has to be one of the worst places to buy meat of any kind.
