Costco rotisserie chickens got me thinking about my whole meal prep

I was standing at the deli last Tuesday watching this guy load up 3 chickens for $4.99 each and it hit me that I've been wasting money on fast food burritos when I could just shred one of these and have lunches for a week. Has anyone else had that moment where you realize the cheap eat you've been ignoring is actually way better than your go-to?

Tbh I take it even further than that now. I buy 2 chickens, shred all the meat, and portion it out for different meals. One bag for salads, one for quick quesadillas, and one for throwing into pasta with jarred pesto. That way I don't get bored eating the same thing every day but I'm still saving cash and only cooking one day a week.

Huh, yeah. I had that same realization with those chickens. Now I grab one every week and just shred it for salads. Way cheaper than even the grocery store rotisserie.
