and gut-healthy juices

so they don't have to have healthcare. Don't forget that this is owned by Murdoch, a truly evil shit stain.

Costco rotisserie chicken is to die for. I mean, literally. Motherfuckers waiting in line for that shit and don't you dare walk in front of the line when they start putting them in the case, you'll get killed.

I live alone now, and I get less motivated to cook for just myself, but today I felt like I needed to eat healthy. I got a rotisserie chicken and made a nice sandwich with it, pulled most of the meat off the bone and put it in the fridge, then simmered the carcase with celery, onions, carrots, bay leaf, thyme, and salt until it was reduced way down. Strained that into a container, and tomorrow I'll make chicken soup with that, some more of the veggies, and some little potatoes I have leftover. I'll have several meals with a few cheap ingredients. Super cost effective, healthy, and delicious.

Filled with chlorine

I can get frozen chicken bits pretty cheap. My cheap options right now look like a half a kilo plus sauces, or (with some walking) a full kilo, plus no extras.

That doesn't account for the time value of money. The reality is even worse because the price of the house is continuing to increase as you push the purchase off into the future. (I haven't done the math, but it could very well be increasing faster than $5 day, so in reality foregoing the rotisserie chicken doesn't make you make progress at all, but only fall behind slower.)

It's even worse, if you buy "cold" rotisserie chicken (literally the same just not kept warm under heat lamps so you have to warm it up if you want it hot) it was $2.77 last time I bought one at Walmart.

Why the price difference? Don't know. It's stored in the open cover "cold food storage" they use it which are probably similar cost to run as the heat lamps. That said for a chicken sandwich or chicken noodle soup such a better deal.

What a way to live

$5 for a whole chicken? That's cheap as fuck. What does the WSJ expect gen z and millennials to eat? Their mom's cooking?

A single meal for $5 would be a deal. A rotisserie chicken can feed a family, or a single person could eat it for days.

This is just more "anyone who isn't a millionaire doesn't deserve to eat" rhetoric from the world's billionaires.

Also, as a 30y.o. millennial, I object to the characterization of the "oldest gen z" being 30. I've earned my place among 20th century-borns!

You'll never afford food if you keep paying RENT!

Might as well reverse it

Isn't the Costco chicken famously $5?

You should definitely stop splurging on water. This is not just a matter of personal finances - your selfishness is hurting the AI industry!

The desperation of maintaining a class war against millennials is a major indicator that the ruse is about to fail

Saying millennials makes it a bit more obscured that their headline is saying that "40 year olds are still swamped in unrecoverable student debt".

You can afford instant ramen?!

Stop buying (checks notes) food!! 🥑😤

Whats wrong with instant ramen?

Instant ramen is more expensive than rotisserie chicken right now.

Ok, that sounds amazing.

Check out Daddy Warbucks over here with his canned beans! Dried beans are even cheaper.

Beans were once seen as poverty food. In the great depression at least. They were the Ramen noodles of that era.

Rotisserie chicken now $7.99 at the grocery stores around here. They also roast them breast-down which makes the white meat greasy as hell, and hard to carve. I just buy a big thing of chicken strips, cook them at the beginning of the week, and use them for protein in every meal throughout the week. All my meals are based around this now.

If Gen Alpha would just be happy with water they could own a home!

Have we moved on from Boomers bashing Millennials to them complaining about Gen Z, or is it Gen X complaining about Gen Z now?

Up next: Gen Z splurging on costco hotdogs and mi goreng instant noodles.
