No it won't change it two weeks might, but I would rather not freeze it. However the pack date on it is when Costco put it out for sale the actual pack date from IBP is what matters. I don't know when that was.

Is there a discernible difference between prime brisket and the choice or select packers I normally see?

Prime grade will have a higher amount of intramuscular fat. Choice would be next followed by Select. If cooked properly prime should be juicier and more tender. I have cooked choice that was just as good. However choice briskets at the grocery store here are about $6/lb which is why Costco rules.

Picaked up a brisket at Kroger for $1.40/ lb. will it be bad?

Where are you located? The Costco here in Bham never has good meat prices.

all brisket tastes the same after you smoke it for 24 hours.

No point in buying expensive prime brisket. It ain't a ribeye.

You need to rethink this position Cad. It's really wrong.

No idea on the brisket but the "prime" steaks I saw at Costco were a joke.

This chafes me a bit after talking to the proper guy in the meat department at the Costco near me in ATL a few weeks ago. Spoke for awhile and he categorically said he was not allowed to order packers, just flats. Then I asked if he could order just points, he said no. He could provide no reasoning for either. I find it ridiculous.

Agreed, the Costco in Hoover isn't really any better than Publix for meat.

If it weren't for kirkland diapers I'd cancel.
