Yes, but there is also the membership fee for Costco. Basically any grocery store will have rotisserie chicken for $7-$10.

50% more or 100% more is a non-insignificant amount. Costco prices are often not great when compared to any other store. But that's why the $5 rotisserie chicken is special.
I hate having to fight by using my time to make sure all these shitty companies stay in check.
I wonder how many $5 rotisserie chickens a person would have to buy per year at Costco in order for the savings to make up for their $65 annual Costco fee?
65 / 2 = 32.5
So it pays for itself in 33 chickens. Likely waaaaaaay before that because you’re saving on most other things as well.
Like the giant cans of tuna, I thought that was a great deal. Then I tried to eat 1.88 kg of tuna as a single person... I no longer have a costco membership.
