    The rotisserie chicken that costs $7 and is enough for two meals? That’s a “splurge”?

    Ok, well I guess I should stop splurging on shoes and water too.

      You should definitely stop splurging on water. This is not just a matter of personal finances - your selfishness is hurting the AI industry!

      Isn’t the Costco chicken famously $5?

        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?

            65 / 2 = 32.5

            So it pays for itself in 33 chickens. Likely waaaaaaay before that because you’re saving on most other things as well.

              Like the giant cans of tuna, I thought that was a great deal. Then I tried to eat 1.88 kg of tuna as a single person… I no longer have a costco membership.
