It's also a way to bring you into the store, particularly Costco and Sam's Club. If they can get you in the door, they can entice you with impulse purchases. For me, it's a good way to have a cheap, somewhat healthy meal when we don't have much time, all while picking up some groceries.

    THIS, this right here is your answer. Old chickens, small chickens, that's all dumb. It's simply a loss leader to get you into the store.

    Ever see the crowd waiting for the chickens to come out of the ovens? They know how popular these things are. They could easily set it up near the entrance, but they don't. They make you walk all the way to the back of the store to get it, and dare you not to buy something else along the way.

    It's as simple as that.

    you don't just eat half of it in the car on the drive home?
