Reply to "$4.39 a pound for a "flat"?"

Former Member

Briskets, full packers are $1.58 per lb. here at the WalMart, $1.36 lb in case quantity at Sams. But not all Sams carry them. We prefer to cook the full brisket. And the flats cost more for some reason. I think they trim off the deckle and make it into lean ground beef, which costs more, then sell the flat for a higher price because it looks smaller and more do-able for the home cook. But the fat from the deckle makes for a tastier slicing brisket.
