It's even worse, if you buy "cold" rotisserie chicken (literally the same just not kept warm under heat lamps so you have to warm it up if you want it hot) it was $2.77 last time I bought one at Walmart.
Why the price difference? Don't know. It's stored in the open cover "cold food storage" they use it which are probably similar cost to run as the heat lamps. That said for a chicken sandwich or chicken noodle soup such a better deal.
Our local Costco has these. They're the previous day's chicken and are sold at a discount.
If I had to venture a guess it’s whatever is left over from the hot section the day prior.
I can’t speak for Walmart but I can confirm other grocery stores do that. Whatever doesn’t sell gets chilled for the following day.
I know there was a time written on the bag, could of been from the previous day I don't know. That said if I buy a chicken, eat half, put the other half in the refrigerator I would still eat it the next day so...
