          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.

          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.

      Rotisserie chicken is cheaper than a raw roasting chicken that you you need to make the same thing at home.

      Rotisserie chickn $13.99, uncooked roaster is $23

          Yeah… American prices haven’t caught up with the rest of the world yet. As much as Trump has done to destroy your economy you’re still not paying anywhere near the price of things elsewhere. Going to take more loss of power for the US dollar for things to align.

          But, I’ll bet that’s still cheaper than a whole chicken, raw… Right?

            Yeah they’re cheaper than raw chickens. The store tends to buy too much chicken and some expires and would have to be thrown out… Or they can roast it right away. It’s kind of a famous economic parable at this point.

            Also, it sounds like Trump is just destroying our economy less than your guys are lmao.
