by Kelly on February 4, 2010

I have never made Corned Beef Brisket and never thought about it until it was on sale this week at Kroger for only $2.49/lb, it is normally close to $7-8/lb.  It was a little more than I would spend on meat per pound, especially since it shrunk up to almost half the original size, eek! [...]
