    My only issue with Costco was I always had to go to another store also. Like yeah I can get a bunch of my groceries for a good price but the don’t have these other things I also need…

      Costco isn’t really a place you go to every day, or even every week. Most people I know only go once a month at the most. You go to buy the big bulk items, and those last a while, weeks at a time usually.

      Then you have the local grocery stores for daily and weekly things. Rotisserie chickens are at nearly every store, and from my experience they’re all about the same size and price. Discounted ready to eat chickens aren’t unique to Costco.

        Yeah when I had a membership I just didn’t like needing 2 stores. Like the paper towels be 50 cents cheaper but I need to drive 5 minutes each way and go to a whole other store just for 50 cents…

        Costco has the cheapest rotisserie and they turn them out faster so you’re pretty much guaranteed to get a fresh bird. I’m fortunate to live near one ao I can run in and just grab one for dinner as part of normal shopping.
