splurging on rotisserie chicken

You mean those cheap chickens they sell at grocery stores that can feed you for days?

If you're writing stories like this do us all a favor and just burn yourself alive.

It doesn’t matter what food you eat, it’s still too good for you. How long until the articles about “splurging” on instant ramen come out?

You’ll never afford a house if you keep eating FOOD!

In five years when its even more dire WSJ will be posting about how millenials are splurging on sliced bread and milk.

The rotisserie chicken that costs $7 and is enough for two meals? That’s a “splurge”?

Ok, well I guess I should stop splurging on shoes and water too.

Most millennials are approaching 40. get off our balls WSJ you old fucks did this

"Millennials and Gen Z are splugering on clean water while trying to pay down their unbelievable debt from getting a 50 year mortgage on a cardboard box under the freeway overpass!!"

-WSJ in 5 years probably

Headline in two years: Gen Z'ers are splurging on food instead of giving their money to the rich.

Splurging on the cheapest animal protein.. Wowee, really living it up in 2026!

Roast chickens are loss leaders and are often the cheapest chicken you can find in a regular grocery store.

If you buy a rotisserie chicken, a seven layer dip and some tortillas all you have to do is make rice and you have enough food for a family or a single person for a couple days for cheap.

Rich dickheads not only want us to be deprived of the good things in life, but also to starve. I hate them.

If you saved that $5 instead of wasting it on food every day, then in 275 years you could afford the average house!

I make black bean based veggie patties; not because I'm a vegetarian, but because a can of black beans is cheap. I call them struggle burgers. I can't wait to be demonized for buying fucking beans. Fuck this timeline.

Newspaper: Americans Eat Too Much Ultra processed food.

Same Newspaper: Look at these little shits splurging on veggies and chicken.

I could eat for free for the next 50 years and still not be able to buy a home

"Splurging" on one of the most prolific loss leaders in grocery is certainly one way to say it. We're buying them because it's the cheapest way to eat

Gen Z are buying food, that is why they can't afford houses. What logic is that ?

It’s kind of wild how everyday groceries get framed as luxuries. Sometimes people are just trying to eat something convenient and affordable, not make a statement about their finances.

"Splurging“ on the absolute cheapest most preservative laiden meat available, cheapeer than fucking Spam, and Gut healthy jucis because they can't afford to go to a doctor.

Fucking ghouls.

Same energy

So we are not supposed to ....eat?

What is gross is that rotisserie chicken is cheaper than a raw roaster.

Imagine writing billionaire propaganda and not being able to work out the cost effectiveness of rotisserie chicken.

The wall street journal aren't good journalists.

They cater towards rich people and as such:

1. Grant a sense of superiority through highlighting financial disparity
2. Portray news in terms of how they would affect rich people, like tax breaks being good for the economy (the economy being billionaires for wsj)

Nothing they write is objective

Let them eat cake of our times.
