Our local Safeway has point cut for $1.68 per lb. this week.
My husband usually prefers the flat cut, because it’s easier to deal with. The Point is two muscles, one on top of the other, with the grain of each opposed. To get a tender cross cut, you have to separate the muscles before carving.
Either way, corned beef is great - Enjoy!
I think the point cut has a bit more fat too. Hence, the theoretically lower price than the flat cut.
