I got a brisket for $3.11.
I looked over my shoulder, then more or less ran to the checkout line.
“I also check ribs and king crab because of this sub,” anotheradded.
“I also check salmon.
I got lucky once with salmon and I never forget,” one personsaid.
“My wife got king crab for like $8 a couple years ago.
Keep looking!!”
A few people were in disbelief.
“Is it really THAT common to find prices like this?
One even suggested that Costco does this intentionally.
“Anyone ever wonder if they do this on purpose?
“I gotta know what happened when you got to the checkout!”
“They have to honour the price.
Customers luck,” one personresponded.
