What is a good price for corned beef?

On average, brisket is around $4 to $5 a pound. Stores usually price higher if it is a cut that wastes part of the beef. This means that a flat cut brisket is pricier, at around $8 a pound, while a packer or Texas brisket cut can be as low as $2 or $3 per pound.

Why is corned beef so expensive 2020?

Consequently, it means that there are only a few manufacturers of corned beef, so the supply is less, and the price is increased. Secondly, corned meat is made from beef brisket, which is a lean and flat cut, and this cut is extremely expensive. That being said, the expensive cut leads to the high price of corned beef.
