Oddly beans are getting pricey, veg is almost out of reach and rice (at least around here) has tripped in price over the last decade. The rotisserie chicken is almost the last hold out for some.
On a side note I was looking into gruel (as I like to plan ahead) and the stuff to make it (oats, rice, and other grains) is now so expensive that I can say most people can not afford to eat gruel.

Presumably "a house costs more than a chicken."
They are all drowning in dept that is expensive for no fucking reason, that they have because they trusted you when you told them that this is a best investment that they can ever make.
Their biggest mistake was trusting in you ability to crate and maintain the system that can benefits anyone else than you.
You failed them. Go away.

Oh, you fuckers!!
Is this why I can't get any rotisserie chickens at Market Basket anymore?
FUCK!!
LOL!
(I recently discovered avocado toast.. it's quite nice! Job well done.)
Look at this fancy rice they're eating.
To be fair, avocado toast is an actual scam and can be made home for cheap, while rotisserie chicken is legitimately expensive rn no matter how you get it.
But also, it's still a lie. None of us that aren't rich douchebags are "splurging" on food 😂

They been Zoomers to me for a decade, why fix what ain't broke

For $5 I could get a 3 ish pound bird, eat good for two days and boil whatever I don't eat with a $1 bag of mirapoux and salt, and have the best rice you've ever had for a fucking week! So assuming generously the rice cost $1.5, then I am making essentially 7 or more meals for $7.50.
But yeah, we splurging....
"Man, however, is not a being whose exclusive purpose in life is eating, drinking, and providing a shelter for himself. As soon as his material wants are satisfied, other needs, of an artistic character, will thrust themselves forward the more ardently. However, if there's some rotisserie chicken available, you absolutely should grab that immediately, because that's a rare treat."
- Peter Kropotkin: The Conquest of Bread, ch. 9
" Man shall not live by bread alone, but if you grab some of that damn good rotisserie chicken, mm-mmm, that's some good stuff." Jesus, Matthew 4:4
I guess the Ronco guy's commercials were a generation or two too early?
