Costco Chicken
4.99
No way would I go to chic-a-Fil to get a rip off chicken lunch
A lunch at Chic-a-Fil is about 8 to 10 bucks and you just get a little bit of chicken
Costco gives you the whole bird at 1/2 the cost
No brainer

You can say the same about any fast food.

People pay more for the convenience (both in price and health effects).

Not really
I cant walk out of Costco with cooked hamburgers or tacos
The Costco 4.99 chicken is fast food. Its ready to eat picking up some coleslaw and potato salad to round out the fast food meal.
I generally feast on it for a weeks worth of lunches then tear it apart for chicken salad

Right but Cotsco is not considered a fast food restaurant.

Their chicken is a good deal though.

Its my goto place for fast chicken
and
If I want a quick slice of Pizza (cheap and superb) or other offerings in their food court, I head to Costco
By the way
Don't have to be a member to hit up the food court :-)

I like Costco chicken but I sure don't get a week out of it. That is one meal for my wife and I.

Their chicken is pumped full
of chemicals to give all that
flavor and increase it's shelf
life. Nasty crap, I'd have to be
starving to death before I
touched it. Costco chicken
is considered a processed food.

That is probably why I like it. All natural stuff is boring.

The skin is injected with MSG and
sugar, that's why you can't stop
eating it. They sell 160,000 a
day. People will eat dog crap if it's
pumped full of the right chemicals.
