I can get 6 or 7 meals out of a $5 Costco chicken for myself. Can't buy a raw chicken for that.

There's a Pajeet-owned Citgo gas station in the small town near me where they sell fried. There's a cooler in there where they will sell people raw chicken on their SNAP bebefits and then fry it for them. The raw chicken is the same price as the fried chicken.
