Just the fact that it is true makes it apparent the big corned beef
producers are getting a deal. I am not really seeing the differences
you are talking about tho unless it is a St Patty's day sale and they
are using the corned beef as a loss leader.
Typically it seems the corned beef and raw brisket price is similar,
certainly within a buck a pound depending on which is on sale that
week.
They do sell the corned beef really cheap around St Patty's day. I
usually get a couple and freeze them
That is like the 49 cent/lb turkeys on Thanksgiving. I bet that is
less than Giant's cost on a frozen turkey. They just want you to fill
your cart with things they are making money on. .
I have a 49 cent/lb turkey in my freezer as we speak. (from the
Christmas sale) I ate my last St Patty's day corned beef in the summer
last year.
My last St Pat's day corned beef got eaten last week. About nine hours on the
smoker.
I guess I like corned beef more than that. If I know there is one in
the freezer, it calls my name. I have been doing them in the big
pressure cooker lately. (cabbage, potatoes, old school) Never tried a
smoked one. I would think a raw brisket would be better for that with
a good rub. I have done that on my old electric smoker.
If you've never tried 'em...
