Went last week to buy a brisket for the smoker. Had sticker shock! Whole briskets are $40-45!! I don't normally buy red meat, so I hadn't noticed that price had increased by double since last year.
Went to the pork section and got ribs instead. Price is pretty close to what I paid last year.

Ended up doing 4 slabs of St Louis style ribs on Thursday and still eating them! Yum!
