Aren't rotisserie chickens usually a cheapish (relatively) prepared food that you get at a grocery store?
Yeah, they're a certified loss leader
Can grab one for between $5 and $8 depending on which grocery store I am willing to go to
Yeah, my initial read was "oh, cheap not entirely empty calories and something with some vitamins and minerals for a person who doesn't have a lot of money and is struggling to cook for themselves." Just normal things to be buying in a totally healthy economy
If 120% of your paycheck isn't going to your landlord you're a parasite who's mooching the economy.
i'm splurging on my water bill over here. live big, stay hydrated, die old
Do you know that while you carelessly drink water, there are AI data centers struggling to stay cooled?
Unfortunately for you, iโm ai-less
Cheaper than raw chicken
Raw chicken prices are wild. Chicken quarters at my local grocery are $1 per pound, but to get legs or thighs is $2 mixed or $3 separated. I don't think it actually costs that much to chop, just saying.
lower flesh to bone ratio in the weight
But a quarter is a thigh + leg, and they sell mixed thighs and legs at $1 more per pound, which would have the exact same bone ratio. They also sell thighs and legs separately at the same price, which is $1 more than the mixed bag.
The implication seems to be that making one extra cut (separating the thigh and the leg) costs $1 per pound, and that separating the thighs and legs costs an additional $1 per pound.
I can get a roasted chicken for about $10-11ish from my store. The cheapest burger from McDonald's door dashed to me is like $9 so the chicken is a steal.
Yes, even in the most expensive places of the world you get plenty for your money with rotisserie chicken compared to other options.
I get my groceries delivered. I can get a hot chicken for $9. They used to have sales for $8.
