Costco Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie Chicken Recipes
I take pride in our low grocery bill each month because I really love stretching meals, using leftovers to create a new meal, and just being smart about the groceries I buy, and using them to their full potential.

Whenever we go to Costco I like to buy one of their nice, big Rotisserie chicken for $4.99.  I can usually get 4-5 meals of this one rotisserie chicken, plus, I can use it to make a large batch of chicken broth.
