Fast Food From Costco

I passed by the meat aisle often, stood there and watched hundred chickens turnning on several large rotisserie ovens. It never crossed my mind that Costco is the place for prepared food. The local largest grocer, HEB, offers rotisseries in multiple flavors. Even though the birds are smaller than ones from Costco (at least, from size of chicken container), HEB rotisserie chicken has more flavor to my taste buds.
Here is a simple menu for 4 using items found at Costco:
*Rotisseries Chicken $5.00 (1 chicken)
* Uncle Ben’s instant rice in 90 seconds $2.50 (2 packs)
* Shrimp Wonton Soup $6.00 (4 cups) - surprising tasty
* Avocado $2.50 (2 large one)
This is a $16.00 menu for 4 without drinks. It’s not the healthiest food around (the high sodium in the Wonton Soup), but it’s not bad meal at all according to my roommates.
