Unfortunately there are no HEBs in Dallas AFAIK. I miss them from when I
lived in Austin, although we do have Central Market here.

Yeah they usually go down that low here too.
But, 99 cents a lb. is a lot less than normal price.
It was on sale for Easter.

I looked at a brisket the other day...$4.99 a pound. Piedmont NC where
brisket is difficult to find. Pork shoulders are only $.59 a pound this
week though.

I'll be shipping my supply in from another region to supply my store.

In my neck of the woods the super walmarts have brisket for
1.48/#-used to be 1.12 but at least they have not started injecting
brisket with sugar, salt and water like many of their other meat
products.
