Last time I checked a whole chicken was like 10-15€ or something (and I was at a discount store, so that's a low estimate). That sounds real expensive to me, my meals only cost me around 1€ each usually. And I'm pretty sure you can't stretch a single rotisserie chicken across 10-15 meals ?
To be fair, I have never bought or eaten meat as an adult, so I have no frame of reference for its price.
They are like $5 near me. A regular chicken costs about what you said. But these are loss leaders to drive people in the door. A rotisserie chicken lasts me about 6 meals so its insanely cheap.
Ah, I see. You need to do research here, man. There's a specific situation you're not aware of.
These roast chooks are cheaper than fresh raw ones because they make them from fresh ones that are about to pass their use-by date. So, even though it seems like it makes no sense, it is actually true that a cooked chicken from the deli costs less than one you have to cook yourself.
