Hello we are not big meat eaters but I bought a piece of Brisket at our Butchers in the village yesterday he charged me.£6.30 ,.he said it was £11.70 a kg, .how much is it near you ? was my bit dear Thanks Barbra

Don't really know as we rarely buy 'joints' unless they have a little yellow (reduced) sticker. If we buy meat from our farm shop butcher, it's usually more expensive than the supermarkets. Mind you, the quality is better!

Just thought we would have a treat. it cooked really well very tender. .but wont be buying again it seemed a bit expensive .no wonder our one & only butcher didn't want a Super market near our village .will .stick to quorn mince :-D

It is £7 a kg. at Tescos but would always be more at a butchers (and probably better quality).

Found this at a wholesaler near to us who also sell to the public (the quality is always good):-

Hiya Barbra. :-) <3

I've checked the price of Brisket with Finlays butchers in the Grainger Market, Newcastle this morning and the retail price is £7.26 per Kg.
If you are buying Aberdeen Angus Brisket it would cost more.

Thank you DT .Kath .GP .Our local butcher got a petition up as some land was available for development .re Supermarket interested in purchase but butcher got his way & its still a farmers field ,shame as it would we think have brought more visitors to the area & competition re prices .will have a look some time when I go to Castle Douglas there is a Tesco there & three butchers shops Thanks for your comments Barbra xx ( it was really nice enjoyed the Meat for tea & will be having the rest today ) :-D <3

Newcastle is obviously cheaper than Kent.

The independent village butcher said he didn't have any, but thought it would be c£9.80
Waitrose didn't have any either although the Meat Counter computer said it would have been £12.99. Neither expanded to say if it would be Angus or a different breed.

Supermarkets do normally offer better prices, but to the cost of their suppliers and local businesses. If we keep building on farmland, where are we going to grow the food or raise the livestock? It might have brought more visitors to the village but that's the only place they'd spend their money.

Not sure what the price of Brisket is per kilo Barbra? as we tend to have Brisket most Sundays I just pick out a piece thats a good size for the 2 of us, or choosing a bigger piece if we are expecting visitors for Sunday dinner.

I always roast my Brisket, wrapped in foil on a low heat, for a longer time, beautiful, & sooo tender.
