Going to be an expensive holiday season
I was just in Costco today and brisket prices are still $4.59/lb for Prime. Wally World/Kroger/HEB are all in $3.70/lb range for choice (if you can find it). I have to cook one for a camping trip in two weeks, one or two for Thanksgiving and two for inventory lunch at my wife's work. Plus, I just want to cook one for myself. We need to see some sales soon, but I don't see it happening. Hopefully I'll also be able to find some brine free turkeys and turkey breasts to smoke and roast for friends and family too. The unbrined birds were a bit hard to find last year and everyone was hoping to squeeze out some extra money by charging for the additional water weight.

Re: Going to be an expensive holiday season
On the world front, on top of existing supply chain issues, I understand the Chinese government is now telling citizens to store up (between the lines to hoard) food for the winter, as a heavy rainy season has impaired their harvest and winter temps are expected early. Global supply impacted, demand goes up, prices go up. Plus, all energy costs at 4 year highs. Happy for job security for Dr. Railsbach but everybody’s holiday dinner gonna be More Bucks Fer Less Clucks this year. All you game eaters will be ahead of the curve once more.

Debbie just paid 4.99 a lb. for this 19 lb. IBP prime at HEB.
She needs it for a comp in three weeks. I will super trim it down to about 6 lbs.
