I read somewhere that those roasted chickens were a good bargain. They’re actually loss-leaders to get people into the store so if you just want the chicken you get good food for a relatively low price.
Yes, there was a recent article on the rotisserie chickens that some stores offer, and the stores are taking the chance that once a person has got to the roaster kiosk, they’ll have to buy something to go with it. Works for me!
