That doesn't account for the time value of money. The reality is even worse because the price of the house is continuing to increase as you push the purchase off into the future. (I haven't done the math, but it could very well be increasing faster than $5 day, so in reality foregoing the rotisserie chicken doesn't make you make progress at all, but only fall behind slower.)
