"Learning to smoke meat can be an expensive endeavor - particularly when you're first learning, because you might not always get the results you want. With this in mind, it can be intimidating to shell your money out on a nice piece of brisket. That is, unless you're an Aldi shopper. Aldi stores offer the ideal beginner brisket: small, pre-seasoned pieces sold at the store's standard cut-rate prices."
"Aldi's beef brisket comes in two flavors, Texas-style BBQ rubbed and salt and pepper rubbed, each typically packaged at around 3 pounds of meat and selling for about $6 per pound. Now, $18 for three pounds of brisket is already a steal - about half the price you might see at other stores - but if you are diligent in your stalking of Aldi deals, you might even be able to grab a piece at a further 50% discount."
Learning to smoke meat can be expensive, and novice cooks may avoid buying large, costly briskets. Aldi offers small, pre-seasoned briskets in Texas-style BBQ rubbed and salt-and-pepper varieties, typically around three pounds and priced near $6 per pound. These packages can sometimes be found at an additional 50% discount. Reviews praise the meat for being juicy, tender, and well-seasoned, particularly the salt-and-pepper version. Pre-seasoned, low-cost briskets remove the need to season and reduce risk while learners practice smoking technique, making them a practical, affordable option for beginners.
