Compared to what? Chicken? Why do you always have to have the last word?This is contingent upon where you live. Brisket is by far and away NOT inexpensive in certain markets.

Huh? That doesn't even make sense. I'm talking about the kick azz deals for meat I could get in California verses what suckky meat prices they have in North Carolina. I used to get 5 pounds of chicken for $10 in California. Here I'm lucky to get a third of that for the same price. It was a shock.Compared to what? Chicken?

Wayne, if you have never enjoyed brisket that is not "corned," it's a completely different flavor. When I was a little girl I didn't realize they were the same cut of meat.
Brisket like flank steak has now become rather expensive, at least MD. You can buy it at both Sam's and B J's. Also you can find it at most grocery stores. Usually around $3.50 to 4.00 lbs, depending on the season, summer time the price goes up.

Brisket is crazy expensive here. Even corned beef is quadrupal what it was in California. I could get a package for $3 in Cali but here I've never been able to buy one for less than $10.

In Cali I could by a package of corned beef brisket for $3 cash. Now I can't buy one for less than $10 cash. I don't know the weight, I just know the packaging is the same here as it was in Cali but it's three times as expensive. My St Patrick's day dinner has tripled since moving.$10 per pound? Or per how much? by weight? If you are paying $30 per 3 feet of meat like you said, that is not a lot of money.
I'm sorry that all meat prices in general seem to be higher for you in NC than they were in CA. But, I bet you get better prices on pork.
I don't eat pork and I don't drink moonshine. I don't even know where to buy real moonshine but regardless, it's ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL meat that I eat, chicken, turkey, beef, that is considerably more expensive than it was in Cali. Dollar for dollar California meat prices were by far less than this state. It's amazing to me that NC meat is so much more expensive than CA and that isn't even adjusted for wages, it's flat out what comes out of my pocket. Always has been my major complaint about this state.Our moonshine is cheaper!
