Hot take: the $5 rotisserie chicken at Costco is the best cheap meal deal in town
I grabbed one last Tuesday at the Costco on 4th Ave and my roommate and I ate off it for three days straight, tacos one night, chicken salad the next, then soup with the bones. That bird plus a $3 bag of rice and some frozen veggies came out to under $12 total for like six meals. Am I missing some other spot that beats that price per meal, because I want to know where else to look?

The "$5 rotisserie chicken" at Costco is actually $4.99, which sounds like a nitpick but it matters when you're doing the math on cost per meal. More importantly though, that price only holds if you already have a membership, and the basic one runs $65 a year now. If you're factoring that in, your $12 for six meals quietly becomes $12 plus a couple bucks per meal depending on how often you shop there. Not saying it's a bad deal, the chicken is huge and the bones make great stock, but Sam's Club does the same bird for basically the same price. The real cheap eats crown probably goes to a whole chicken from a local butcher or a $6 tray of chicken thighs you roast yourself.
