I know you're out there.

I have a question. I finally broke down and joined Costco. I figured one
of the bennies would be access to good prices on brisket, as I'm always
reading here about the great brisket prices as Costco. Well, the Livermore
store doesn't even carry briskets! Not enough market for them, I'm told
(and Livermore formerly known as the goat roper corner of the BA). So, the
question is, is their any other SFBA Costco's that have brisket?

Louie...?

I've rarely seen Costco carry brisket, beside the corned beef brisket.
I shop at the Costco on Almaden Expressway in San Jose.

Never saw them in Sunnyvale, San Jose, or Santa Cruz, either. But
the tri-tips, whole top-sirloins, and ribeyes are worth the
membership price, no question about it.

I know this doesn't help you in SF/BA but the Costco in Burbank carries
brisket,
but I've seen better ones at Smart and Final (in So.Cal).

The only brisket that my costco carries is corned beef. But the case prices
for spare ribs and pork butt / shoulder can't be beat. BTW, what does the
SFBA mean? I'm guessing San Fran Bay Area?

USDA Choice tri-tip roasts are on sale at Nob Hill for $2.99 / lb this
week. That beats Costco's normal $4.99 / lb.

Smart and Final has whole briskets vacuumed packed at very good prices.

Been a little leery of tri-tips ever since Alton Brown said, "Never
buy anything with 'tip' in the name" on his all beef show. Whatta you
suppose he meant by that?

Sirloin tips, ball tips, etc.. But certainly not tri-tips. That
was pretty irresponsible of his if he said that.

Don't believe everything you see on TV. Tri-tips are excellent,
especially CostCo's id they're the same as last year (and every
year prior to that).

Try Cash and Carry or Smart and Final in SF Bay area. No brisket at Costco
that I've seen

Amen. Costco has long been my source of beef, chicken, pork
and salmon (though I'm tending towards specialty for salmon
these days).

I wouldn't eat too much of it if it was that farmed salmon stuff.

Heh. That's exactly why I'm tending towards specialty stores for
salmon these days. Not only can I avoid PCB-laced farmed fish, I
can get truly luxurious wild salmon. I had some Scottish salmon
recently from Omega 3 (over in Napa - take a cooler with ice in
it) that was to die for. Hmmmm...
