When it comes to buying a pre-roasted chicken for dinner,
Costco's wins hands down. The perfectly seasoned and rotisserie chicken comes in a plastic container juicy and tasty. The price is the best anywhere: $4.99 for the last few years now. Price-wise, you can't even get a fresh whole chicken for $4.99. Taste wise, I haven't tasted anything better. You'd think that Whole Foods with its fancy organic roasted chicken should win the taste test right? Not even close. By comparison, Whole Food's chicken that costs at least $8.99 (or more if it is organic) tastes dry and unseasoned. It may be more healthy (but I doubt it), but it does not taste great.
Albertson's rotisserie chicken isn't bad, and the price is comparable to Costco's, but to get the freshly roasted ones, you often have to wait for the new batches to just come out. Otherwise, the ones sitting under the heating lamp tends to get dry. Costco's seem to have fresh ones coming out all the time.
Of course, I bet the Costco rotisserie chicken is a loss leader for the chain because every time I head to Costco thinking I'll get a $4.99 chicken, I end up spending over $200 on everything else. Oh well. Those things are needed too.
