My Walmart had all their briskets marked down to $1.07/lb today
(they expired tomorrrow). I still resisted the temptation.
Unfortunately, Walmart's brisket doesn't have packing dates, so you
can't tell if it's old until it gets marked down 35%.

I'd have grabbed a couple. They last in the cryo-vac wrap for a couple of
weeks after the date on the sticker.

I don't trust a lot of the stuff at Walmart already. Two of the
three briskets on display had lost their vacuum, so those were
definitely out of the question. But I did seriously consider the
third one. because as you say - they last a while in unpunctured
cryovac.
