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.)
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…
$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

Yeah… I wish I didn’t, but I get that reference…

sigh same. We’ve been on the internet too long.

Our local Costco has these. They’re the previous day’s chicken and are sold at a discount.
If I had to venture a guess it’s whatever is left over from the hot section the day prior.
I can’t speak for Walmart but I can confirm other grocery stores do that. Whatever doesn’t sell gets chilled for the following day.
