MODERATORS
Apparently in the full context, this is in reference to some upscale grocery stores with an overpriced $30 "luxury" rotisserie chicken meal.
Not that this makes it much better. First, this seems like a small splurge compared to going to literally any restaurant for more than two people. Second, I had never heard of it before this article went viral and neither has anybody else I've seen in the comments... So this cannot be very common.
My conclusion is that this article is not for us. It's for rich people to help them feel less guilty about everyone complaining about their lives getting worse.

Splurging on Hamburger Helper and frozen broccoli.
Hamburger Helper is not even cheap anymore, or easy, or good. Still buy it every 6 months for some reason.

Walmart and Sam's near me have started rationing theit rotisserie chickens, they only make a certain number per day and when they are gone they don't make any more.
People often think of Sam's Club and Costco as sort of equivalent, but they're not and that kind of thing is one of the reasons why.

In other news I'm learning depression era meals to make to save money. Made a fancied up Hoover Stew last week. It had a sausage in it instead of hot dog.
La di da, we got a sausage prince over heah boys, not good enough for our offcut tubes /s
I really like chicken and rice
You mean the chicken that's $7.99 CAD, that feeds a single person 5-6 meals before taking the carcass / left over bits and making a soup out of it that feeds me for even more days at the cost of only rice and veggies?
