Avocado toast is out. Rotisserie chicken is in.

Costco rotisserie chicken is to die for. I mean, literally. Motherfuckers waiting in line for that shit and don't you dare walk in front of the line when they start putting them in the case, you'll get killed.

isn't this the free pastrami for jewish people guy?
“I’ve been eating Rotisserie Chickens at Costco everyday, one a day, for the last 25 years. It all started when Costco came to New York in the 90s, the first one was in Staten Island.”
But then he goes off the deep end about “LED light poisoning”
I live alone now, and I get less motivated to cook for just myself, but today I felt like I needed to eat healthy. I got a rotisserie chicken and made a nice sandwich with it, pulled most of the meat off the bone and put it in the fridge, then simmered the carcase with celery, onions, carrots, bay leaf, thyme, and salt until it was reduced way down. Strained that into a container, and tomorrow I'll make chicken soup with that, some more of the veggies, and some little potatoes I have leftover. I'll have several meals with a few cheap ingredients. Super cost effective, healthy, and delicious.
This is the way.
Just a few practical tips for those of you wanting to do this, but feel a bit nervous about dealing with the chicken carcass. Disposable gloves are your friend. Pull off every bit of meat you can possibly pull off. It can be frozen and then used for pretty much anything. You can throw it in tacos. You can put it in ramen soup.You can just eat it. You can share it with your dog or cat, if you can afford one.
If you have an Instant Pot cooker, I have the small three quart sized one, it makes it really easy and quick to simmer the carcass and get all that delicious bone broth. The bone broth can also be used for anything savory you're making that requires water like rice, instant stuffing, Ramen, couscous. You get the idea.

That doesn't account for the time value of money. The reality is even worse because the price of the house is continuing to increase as you push the purchase off into the future. (I haven't done the math, but it could very well be increasing faster than $5 day, so in reality foregoing the rotisserie chicken doesn't make you make progress at all, but only fall behind slower.)
Yeah... I wish I didn't, but I get that reference...
I'll just be satisfied with knowing what this guy is about to do, but not actually seeing the footage myself.
It's even worse, if you buy "cold" rotisserie chicken (literally the same just not kept warm under heat lamps so you have to warm it up if you want it hot) it was $2.77 last time I bought one at Walmart.
Why the price difference? Don't know. It's stored in the open cover "cold food storage" they use it which are probably similar cost to run as the heat lamps. That said for a chicken sandwich or chicken noodle soup such a better deal.
I know there was a time written on the bag, could of been from the previous day I don't know. That said if I buy a chicken, eat half, put the other half in the refrigerator I would still eat it the next day so...
The cold ones can be bought with SNAP/food stamps as well a being cheaper.
$5 for a whole chicken? That's cheap as fuck. What does the WSJ expect gen z and millennials to eat? Their mom's cooking?
A single meal for $5 would be a deal. A rotisserie chicken can feed a family, or a single person could eat it for days.
This is just more "anyone who isn't a millionaire doesn't deserve to eat" rhetoric from the world's billionaires.
Also, as a 30y.o. millennial, I object to the characterization of the "oldest gen z" being 30. I've earned my place among 20th century-borns!
New day, new generation, every single day
Can feed a family yes, but isn't truly a meal on its own. Add some rice and beans, and now you've got a decent meal that has a tad more nutrition/balance than just straight up chicken.
You're right, it needs some veggies too. But honestly if you're having rice and beans, and something iron-rich like broccoli, then the chicken isn't even necessary.
But we all know the people complaining about this aren't advocating for vegetarianism...
It doesn’t matter what food you eat, it’s still too good for you. How long until the articles about “splurging” on instant ramen come out?
You can afford instant ramen?!
Whats wrong with instant ramen?
It's like 12¢ a pack. The commenter was saying the out-of-touch billionaires will never be pleased and will continue to shame the poors no matter what they do. Even if you're eating the cheapest thing you can find, they'll still call it a frivolous expense because you're not a millionaire.
Instant ramen is more expensive than rotisserie chicken right now.
Find an asian market near you. The ramen is so cheap there and it's way better than the ones in the supermarket.
I've started buying the frozen ramen (raw noodles) at my local asian market :)
You'll never afford food if you keep paying RENT!
Might as well reverse it
If Gen Alpha would just be happy with water they could own a home!
you have 2 kidneys, get going and sell 1 kidney, 1 lung, some of your skin and liver.
Yes, but there is also the membership fee for Costco. Basically any grocery store will have rotisserie chicken for $7-$10.
50% more or 100% more is a non-insignificant amount. Costco prices are often not great when compared to any other store. But that's why the $5 rotisserie chicken is special.
I hate having to fight by using my time to make sure all these shitty companies stay in check.
I wonder how many $5 rotisserie chickens a person would have to buy per year at Costco in order for the savings to make up for their $65 annual Costco fee?
My debt ballooned to nearly 60K while in repayment, this administration will ensure I'm in debt to my eyeballs for the rest of my life. The Dems dragged their heels for too long to see changes. My generation is fucked and know what, the silents and boomers can eat a bag of dicks. Shovel them into a retirement home and forget about them existing.
"Millennials and Gen Z are splugering on clean water while trying to pay down their unbelievable debt from getting a 50 year mortgage on a cardboard box under the freeway overpass!!"
-WSJ in 5 years probably
Yeah that might be the most accurate to the blaming tone these kinds of articles write with and to what they will take from us.
Just need to jazz it up with some homemade slang to hide the sad bits and the immortal rich part.
"GenZ struggling in well stocked MegaCity5; "Fecal-de-Cal" diet blamed for lack of macro nutrients during their mandatory weekly Blood-Up donations."
literally, the conservative culture of boot licking the billionaires never ceases to amaze me
Roast chickens are loss leaders and are often the cheapest chicken you can find in a regular grocery store.
because they use shitty frozen chickens and they cook them like 100 at a time and they only taste great because they are loaded roasted with chemicals/cheap ingredients. it's processed food, so it's cheap. the chickens use at the grocery store for roasting and like 5 bucks and then but 5 cents of crap on them and sell them for 10 bucks. it's also way more efficient to mass produce things than do them one at a time.
making your own chicken is more expensive because you're getting higher quality and fresher product and using highly quality ingredients. a decent whole 4lb whole chicken for me is 10-15 bucks, (20+ if you want a organic free range pasture bird) and I'm adding nice salt, nice olive oil, and fresh spices/citrus etc.
the home made bird is far healthier. but not as tasty because it's not loaded with crap.
To be fair, avocado toast is an actual scam and can be made home for cheap, while rotisserie chicken is legitimately expensive rn no matter how you get it.
Right but the discussion isn't if it is healthier, it is what is cheapest. If low income families lack the equipment or knowledge to cook a good tasting whole bird, rotisserie is a good priced option. The fact that the news outlet is calling that splurging is wild.
cheapest here and now comes at a long term cost.
these chickens are a loss leader in order to get people to hooked on shitty premade food that is profitable for the stores so they never learn to cook better food.
i grew up poor. it was splurging for us to buy this stuff. our regular food was frozen and canned. even uncooked fresh food was a luxury for us.
Spend whole life in cage or being trampled by your peers
get fed industrial byproducts from other industries
Told entire life's purpose is to be killed and eaten by your captors
Get called shitty.
Edit to add:
Even though you were born into this system and have zero agency, it's still somehow your fault because TubularTittyFrog has had some bad coworkers.
i've had co-workers who feel the same way. kept fucking up at work, not showing up on time, and blaming everyone else for being mean to them. they were shitty people and work is much better without them around. being around competent people who take pride in their work and themselves is a joy.
edit: it's not a system dude. It's the choices you make. if you've made choices to make yourself a caged chicken and you hate it, you've nobody to blame but yourself. chickens don't have existential angst.
You've been reported. You seem to be arguing a completely different argument and lightly trolling. This is a warning or I'm going to give you a temp ban.
If you buy a rotisserie chicken, a seven layer dip and some tortillas all you have to do is make rice and you have enough food for a family or a single person for a couple days for cheap.
Ok, that sounds amazing.
Rotisserie chicken now $7.99 at the grocery stores around here. They also roast them breast-down which makes the white meat greasy as hell, and hard to carve. I just buy a big thing of chicken strips, cook them at the beginning of the week, and use them for protein in every meal throughout the week. All my meals are based around this now.
"Rotisserie" derives from "rotate", as in the chicken is constantly being rotated as it's cooked. If it's being roasted breast-down (or breast-up, or any other consistent breast direction) then it's not rotisserie.
Yes. These are sold more cheaply now because it's a loss leader and they are pale imitation of the true product that they represent. They loaded with extra fat and salt, which is why people love them. Like they are literally injected with a solution of fat, salt, and chemical agents to tenderize the meat. It's the same as McDonalds, but people are under the delusion it is 'healthy' and 'natural' or something. It's processed food make for mass consumption at lowest possible cost.
A legit rotisserie chicken is 2-4x that cost and would not taste nearly as good because of the lack of fat and salt.
I make black bean based veggie patties; not because I'm a vegetarian, but because a can of black beans is cheap. I call them struggle burgers. I can't wait to be demonized for buying fucking beans. Fuck this timeline.
Check out Daddy Warbucks over here with his canned beans! Dried beans are even cheaper.
That lucky bastard! Lucky, lucky, lucky bastard.
I DREAM of the day I can revel in canned beans! No soaking! No spices! No massive pot!
lucky, lucky, lucky bastard
You are correct, they are. Wet beans saves me time from having to soak them. Lentils are they only ones I buy dry because they cook fast without soaking.
Every time I try soaking dry beans I forget about them and they get gross.
I never bother soaking em. Pressure cooker (instant pot) does the job. I don't throw away the liquid either, that's good vitamins. Just do the beans most of the way in stock and spices, throw in rice and quinoa, close it up and cook it the rest of the way. Super easy.
Beans were once seen as poverty food. In the great depression at least. They were the Ramen noodles of that era.
Protein, plus fiber, plus complex carbohydrates. What's not to love? Plus it makes a smaller environmental impact compared to farming poultry or larger animals. It was mind blowing to hear rags like the WSJ demonize the younger generation for eating avocado toast; it's a fucking cheap meal. Avocados were like $1 a pop and are a good source of fiber and health fat. I can't wait for rags like the WSJ to start publishing articles like, "How dare the poors waste money on eating!"
They are great. I was going to make a bean stew yesterday but this article made me go buy a roast chicken just to spite them. Beans are for tonight!
Rich dickheads not only want us to be deprived of the good things in life, but also to starve. I hate them.
Newspaper: Americans Eat Too Much Ultra processed food.
Same Newspaper: Look at these little shits splurging on veggies and chicken.
I could eat for free for the next 50 years and still not be able to buy a home
Are you sure? If we assume you saved 10 USD per day on food, that means you can invest 3,650 per year. If you do that for 50 years and assume 5% interests, you end up at 844,182.20 USD.
Inflation has been ignored to simplify it a bit, but it works in both directions: your money is worth less than today, but over time, as food is getting more expensive, you also save more and more money per day.
Excellent! Now I just have to sort out the eating for free part and I'm all set!
Not really realistic for my hometown at least. I don't know any bank offering interest on saving deposits that is higher than 3%.
If I only didn't have to spend money on food and would save like 5000€ per year while earning the average salary in my town with 3% interest (which is already pretty optimistic) I'd have like 500,000€ in 50 years. While an average house would cost several million at that time (rn it's ~1 million €). I couldn't even buy a flat.
Yeah big banks in canada give like 0.1% interest, my credit union gives 0.3%
Houses are rising at 15% a year dude.
Up next: Gen Z splurging on costco hotdogs and mi goreng instant noodles.
So we are not supposed to ....eat?
The rich don't understand the purpose of food, having never missed a meal in their lives.
ready to eat hot food is a luxury. it's not groceries. groceries is stuff you have to prep and cook. if you want stuff you don't have to prep, or cook, it's generally going to cost you more, in either value or quality.
it's just that whole foods and other groceries normalized the concept of hot ready to eat meals being served in grocery stores. that was never a thing 20+ years ago. when i was a kid they had a tiny hot bar, and it was shitty. now my local whole foods 1/4 of the store is devoted to this type of product. and it's hugely profitable because people value convenience.
is international travel a luxury or a necessity? where I live, people think it's the latter and if you aren't traveling multiple times per year, they think you are living in poverty. that is regardless of finances and many people are going into debt to travel because they know it's not socially acceptable to not travel. i know 28 year olds making 30K a year who are dropping 5-10K a year traveling.
people's frames of reference for what a 'necessity' in 2026 is not exactly objective.
Ready to eat hot food that is cheaper than the ingredients to make it, is not a luxury.
Especially if it can be refrigerated and made to last for over a week, used to supplement other foods such like chicken quesadillas, chicken soup, broth and chicken salad.
Having to prep and cook is such a narrow minded way to look at things, and a way to look down at what people do to survive.
Does the fact that I can just bite into a tomato and eat it without preparation or cooking make it not a grocery? Hell, I can even do that with oatmeal if I'm down on protein and fiber.
Exactly. Additionally a lot of low income families lack the knowledge of how to properly prepare a chicken, or the equipment to do it well. When the difference is 20¢ a pound for an already seasoned and prepared bird its not really luxury prices. Luxury is like some $50 chicken wrapped in gold bullshit topped with exotic flower pistols.
These aren't properly prepared chickens. They are McChickens. They are fast food that is full of artificial crap to make it taste good.
Low income people eat a lot of fast food because it's an affordable luxury for them. That doesn't mean it's not a luxury, or that it's a good choice to make a regular part of your diet. Especially due to the long affects.
One of the first things you figure out when you get out of being poor is that paying more for food is not a luxury, it's a necessity for a higher quality of life overall. I got this lesson in college, which was the first time it was regularly available to me.
when I was 14 years old and eating shitty food everyday, I thought healthy food was 'gross' and 'crazy expensive'. I was wrong. I was just poor and trapped in a poor person's mindset and had no idea about long term costs because i was consumed with getting things as quickly as possible for as cheap as possible.
you can eat however you want.
however engaging in poverty finance is a way to keep yourself in poverty as it prevents you from developing smarter and healthier behaviors around food and persisting in myths and thought patterns that are objectively unhealthy and defeating.
I know this from personal experience. cheap ready to eat food is awful for you and long term does way more damage to your health and fiances than learning to cook healthy food at home. cooking for yourself is objectively healthier as you get to control what goes into your food.
but yeah if you are narrow terms of gratification and raw cost, why not just grind up the chickens into hot protein paste and let the poors eat that? or perhaps we think there is more to life than calories and macronutrients?
since when was 3-4 meals of tasty protein for under $10 considered a luxury?
because it's premade food.
fast food prices used to be similar, was that a healthy smart way to get calories? a burger and fries from mcdonalds used to be 3 bucks or so. for a lot of struggling people, it certainly was a standard option until recently and the one by me is still full of housing project kids everyday.
you didn't answer the question
because it’s premade food.
When the pre-made food is cheaper than uncooked food, how is it a luxury?
You think people should pay more for food, then bitch about people spending too much?
Get the hell out of here.
Also, from your previous comment:
it’s just that whole foods and other groceries normalized the concept of hot ready to eat meals being served in grocery stores. that was never a thing 20+ years ago.
I literally worked at the Deli in a wal mart in small town Ontario 20 years ago when I was in my late teens cooking the rotisserie chicken you're bitching about didn't exist.
You're either trolling everyone here, or a completely disconnected moron.
Rotisserie Chicken is cheaper than groceries. The expensive "luxury" is the grocery in this case.
because the true cost is hidden
I guess you're right because there's an awful lot of nitrates, nitrites and salts in those things and they're mass produced so I guess there are a lot of long-term health costs involved.
These might help you.
a soup kitchen is for the homeless.
the homeless aren't buying 5 dollar rotisserie chickens
Idk what's up with the downvotes. I think you're right, having someone else cook and prepare my food for me IS something I consider a luxury. Same as if someone else cleaned my dishes or did my laundry. I'm not commenting on the "quality" of the food, or the cost, just the idea of someone else cooking and prepping my food for me.
people aren't reading or thinking, they are just being outraged that their entitlement is being called out.
i get this a lot with travel too. travel is a luxury, but if you say that people tell you are a close minded asshole and that travel is a necessity for their well-being and happiness and if isn't for yours you are mentally ill.
millennials and gen z travel way more than ever and spend massive amounts on it and then cry poor about not being able to spend more on it.
life is expensive, but spending your money on luxuries like travel, ready to eat food, and food delivery and then whining about how expensive necessities are (housing, healthcare, education, groceries) is so straight up absurd. apparently everyone is broke all th e time and struggling, but when it comes to getting their grubhub, their pot, and their international vacation travel, they miraculously always have money for that.. and it can't be that these two things are maybe related?
The wall street journal aren't good journalists.
They cater towards rich people and as such:
Nothing they write is objective
They're not journalists at all.
It's just a picture of a guillotine.
What is gross is that rotisserie chicken is cheaper than a raw roaster.
I don't shop at Costco as its a US brand. I shop at grocery stores, Canadian ones. It is a loss leader everywhere. They take the whole chickens that are damaged or are close to shelf life and roast them.

Same energy
I had to find it.
Imagine writing billionaire propaganda and not being able to work out the cost effectiveness of rotisserie chicken.
The irony is likely the person who wrote this article for the billion dollar propaganda machine likely struggles to make ends meet.
Apparently in the full context, this is in reference to some upscale grocery stores with an overpriced $30 "luxury" rotisserie chicken meal.
Not that this makes it much better. First, this seems like a small splurge compared to going to literally any restaurant for more than two people. Second, I had never heard of it before this article went viral and neither has anybody else I've seen in the comments... So this cannot be very common.
My conclusion is that this article is not for us. It's for rich people to help them feel less guilty about everyone complaining about their lives getting worse.
Almost has a moment of self awareness
..."The poors don't really deserve houses, right? I mean, look at them! They're spending money on food."
The rotisserie is just to get you in the door. They sell it at a loss, but know you're going to buy a bunch of stuff once you get there. I guess ppl are now just going in to buy 1 or 2, 50lbs bags of rice and beans and dipping out.
You mean the rotisserie chickens that are $5-6, compared to lunch meat being at 10-12/lb? Splurging on that rotisserie chicken purchase?
Good ol' rotisserie chicken, rice, n beans. Sauce of choice. A legendary combination.
There is a reason we think boomers are out of touch.
They bought houses with high school diplomas for 6 walnuts. Why can't you kids do the same?
Try to explain to them that we will never be as weathly as they are and how we will receive 0 inheritance from them because they planned out how to spend their entire retirement savings not knowing what end of life care actually costs.
Whats next... splurging on ramen, spaghetti, and hotdogs?
Instant ramen/noodles cost a friggin' fortune where I live (Denmark) now as well. The price is on average 150 DKK pr kilo of what is essentially fried pasta with a sauce packet. This shit used to be the lowest of the low student food and now it's priced like a gourmet meal.
$23.80 USD
€20.08 EUR
$33.59 AUD
$23.44 CAD
If you find the super bland stuff that only comes in 'chicken' flavour its like 7 euro per dry kilo (bought as seperate packets, its cheaper in bulk) which is almost a week of cheap calories to bulk out some vegetables or cut price sausage. Or you can get fancy and fry it up with an egg and leftovers.
exactly, the real complaint is that humans need to eat sometimes. how dare they?!
these articles are just trolling at this point with these kinds of headlines...
Wait are you telling me a chicken dinner and juice is more attainable than a home?? Could that be why?
There’s a reason young people are travelling and using their savings on entertainment, we know we will never own. Not until we take housing by force, so what’s the point of saving? I can’t even save enough to keep up with interest. So yeah when I’m old I’ll be poor and the government will have to deal with me
You mean the chicken that's $7.99 CAD, that feeds a single person 5-6 meals before taking the carcass / left over bits and making a soup out of it that feeds me for even more days at the cost of only rice and veggies?
Man they are $13.99 in BC now.. But still hella cheaper than a raw roaster at $23
Not at Costco.
Splurging on checks notes healthy food?
know your place in society and just eat fast food to reach a fast death.
Were it so easy. Now fast food is so expensive I can't even eat garbage to kill myself.
this isn't healthy food anymore than KFC is healthy.
if you make it at home, it's going to be far healthier because it's not going to be loaded with crap to make shitty quality meat taste good... just like fast food does.
These comments keep getting downvoted but Costco roasters are full of anti drying chemicals. They taste awful, but if people are used to fast food... they'll eat any shit.
because people don't want to hear the truth.
they want to believe the convenient fiction that somehow these shitty mcchicken products are 'healthy' and a 'good way for low income people to get protein' etc. Just like a few years ago they are all outraged that McDonald's isn't cheap anymore.
A simplistic moralizing narrative is what people want about every issue. They don't want to get into the details or talk about how the sausage is made, because it's ugly and unpleasant. I bet you most of the people who are pro Costco chicken are also anti-factory farming, but they fail to draw the connection that factory farming is what makes meat cheap. The reason your pasture raised organici free range roaster is $25 for a 4 lb bird is because raising chickens that way is expensive.
And for no reason, colon cancer is now a disease of 30 year olds.
GenZ complains about having so much debt and not enough income but they keep buying food! How can they expect to succeed when they waste their money so frivolously?!
..... That's what this headline reads like to me. How dare you buy food with the money you should be spending on the interest you owe to the owners of the country.
Yellow rice, beans, veggies and shredded rotisserie chicken. Meals for days.
Oddly beans are getting pricey, veg is almost out of reach and rice (at least around here) has tripped in price over the last decade. The rotisserie chicken is almost the last hold out for some.
On a side note I was looking into gruel (as I like to plan ahead) and the stuff to make it (oats, rice, and other grains) is now so expensive that I can say most people can not afford to eat gruel.
Too good for bugmeal, are you?
Eat your protein bars, keep working then maybe you come to the front of the train.
Oh, you fuckers!!
Is this why I can't get any rotisserie chickens at Market Basket anymore?
FUCK!!
LOL!
(I recently discovered avocado toast.. it's quite nice! Job well done.)
Cheep!
Splurging on gut health! I mean... the nerve of these... these... (shuffles cards)... uppity whippersnappers!
people who are on gut health diets are usually already wealthy.
I just splurged all over my self thanks
a single chicken doesn't feed a family of four.
it's a loss leader because it gets you to buy the 6 dollar sides of potatoe, veg and cheese and the dessert and then you've spent 30-40 bucks. the 6 dollar mashed potatoes is very profitable.
it's all incredibly unhealthy too. full of margarine, salt, and chemical stabilizers for texture and shelf-life.
Splurging on Hamburger Helper and frozen broccoli.
Hamburger helper was popular in the 70s in inner city slums to make dog food edible.
In other news I'm learning depression era meals to make to save money. Made a fancied up Hoover Stew last week. It had a sausage in it instead of hot dog.
Ok, Bezos
For $5 I could get a 3 ish pound bird, eat good for two days and boil whatever I don't eat with a $1 bag of mirapoux and salt, and have the best rice you've ever had for a fucking week! So assuming generously the rice cost $1.5, then I am making essentially 7 or more meals for $7.50.
But yeah, we splurging....
They are all drowning in dept that is expensive for no fucking reason, that they have because they trusted you when you told them that this is a best investment that they can ever make.
Their biggest mistake was trusting in you ability to crate and maintain the system that can benefits anyone else than you.
You failed them. Go away.
Don't just go away, be forgotten entirely. Die your second death shortly after your first one. If we survive long enough I want history books to say the Silent Generation but especially the Boomers were the worst generations to have lived. That they took every scrap for themselves and would not share a dime to those struggling. That their entire life should be considered a sham and shamed.
"Man, however, is not a being whose exclusive purpose in life is eating, drinking, and providing a shelter for himself. As soon as his material wants are satisfied, other needs, of an artistic character, will thrust themselves forward the more ardently. However, if there's some rotisserie chicken available, you absolutely should grab that immediately, because that's a rare treat."
" Man shall not live by bread alone, but if you grab some of that damn good rotisserie chicken, mm-mmm, that's some good stuff." Jesus, Matthew 4:4
Stupid Millennials! You're supposed to magically develop bodies which survive off instant noodles and works until it's 70! /s
At 44, my doc keeps telling me I need to eat a better diet. His diet would break the damn bank.. I have a family of three to feed.
Splurging on double ply toilet paper that is free of bark. Recklessly spending on biannual toothbrushs. carelessly using their lunch break to eat instead of adopting mico-hussles. foolishly agreeing to pay rent instead of taking money out of their grandfather's equity built trust fund to buy expansive rental properties.
why are they so bad with money?
I guess the Ronco guy's commercials were a generation or two too early?
We set it and forgot it.
Gen Zer... just say "Gen-Z kids" ??
Ah, I see. You need to do research here, man. There's a specific situation you're not aware of.
These roast chooks are cheaper than fresh raw ones because they make them from fresh ones that are about to pass their use-by date. So, even though it seems like it makes no sense, it is actually true that a cooked chicken from the deli costs less than one you have to cook yourself.
They are like $5 near me. A regular chicken costs about what you said. But these are loss leaders to drive people in the door. A rotisserie chicken lasts me about 6 meals so its insanely cheap.
Rotisserie chicken is cheaper than a raw roasting chicken that you you need to make the same thing at home.
Rotisserie chickn $13.99, uncooked roaster is $23

pictured: currently $6.47 at a local store (in Austin)
Yeah.. American prices haven't caught up with the rest of the world yet. As much as Trump has done to destroy your economy you're still not paying anywhere near the price of things elsewhere. Going to take more loss of power for the US dollar for things to align.
But, I'll bet that's still cheaper than a whole chicken, raw.. Right?
Yeah they're cheaper than raw chickens. The store tends to buy too much chicken and some expires and would have to be thrown out... Or they can roast it right away. It's kind of a famous economic parable at this point.
Also, it sounds like Trump is just destroying our economy less than your guys are lmao.
