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.

Gen Z are buying food, that is why they can't afford houses. What logic is that ?

Imagine writing billionaire propaganda and not being able to work out the cost effectiveness of rotisserie chicken.

Roast chickens are loss leaders and are often the cheapest chicken you can find in a regular grocery store.

What is gross is that rotisserie chicken is cheaper than a raw roaster.

Rich dickheads not only want us to be deprived of the good things in life, but also to starve. I hate them.

Splurging on checks notes healthy food?

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.

My dad has been cheap his entire life, and now survives almost entirely on rotisserie chicken.
