Beef Brisket in The Lower Mainland BC

If you ordered a whole brisket why did they cut it at all.

I hate to tell you this, but the start of the "Briskets on Sale" season started this week.

Got my first $.99 lb packer today.

I will have a freezer full before the sale runs out.

DOH!

Thought I'd post an update to the brisket seekers.  I didn't realize there was a TnT here in Coquitlam so when I saw it, I just had to check if they had Brisket.  The answer is yes.  They do carry brisket.  It looked like most of the fat was trimmed off so I'm not sure I'd buy one directly from the counter.  I may ask if I can get one that hasn't been trimmed. 
Cheers

Oooh I never even thought to look in the TnT. Thanks sticky

Also found out that Whole Foods carries brisket.  Got one waiting to jump on the DBS tomorrow.

Sticky,  at least around here Whole Paycheck trims their briskets of fat.  Now, I have never bought a brisket from Whole Paycheck because of the cost per lb, but there are those I know that do, and they say if you ask them, they will save you one that is untrimmed.

T'n't will sell the whole brisket still in the cryovac pack. You will get some funny looks but it is well worth it. The price varies but I can get a whole one about 12 pounds for about 25-30 bucks. The best time to go is first thing in the morning before they start cutting.

Caney - I've never actually stepped foot into a whole foods.  It does seem pricey but that's ok cause my sister inlaw works there and gets a huge discount on anything she buys.  There was a lot of fat trimmed off which kinda sucks.  I'll have to see if I can get the next one untrimmed. 
Or Maybe I'll try Oguard's idea.
