Cheaper to buy prepared at the grocery near me, in Ontario.

I wonder what the cost is wherever the Wall Street journal people shop.

In Dallas, you can get one at Sam's Club or Costco for $5.

The Sam's/Costco ones are like $5 across the country. I don't think I've seen one for more than $6

We don't have a Sam's/cosco here, but Kroger's are 7.99. still not terrible

That's closer to my price.

That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. My family eats at least one a week.

Damn, guess that's the cost if you don't need to heat the coops.

The store cooked BBQ chicken is 50% more expensive than the fresh chicken, 0.9KG Vs 2KG?

Cooked chicken is 25% less water weight apparently, so those costs are 0.9kg vs 1.5kg cooked. Still not bad, but not less for the precooked it just is cheaper because they use smaller birds
