To be fair, Costco has acknowledged they lose money on the sausages (and rotisserie chickens) and use those cheaper items to draw in customers to buy other things they do make money on.

Not gonna lie, I absolutely shop at CostCo because it means I can A) Get a stupid amount of everything to last awhile and B) Get lunch really cheap cuz I’m broke after shopping at CostCo.

Yeah that food court stop is the consolation prize to drain out that last $5 in the account.

Oh absolutely. With the rising food prices, my family has had to shift to making those rotisserie chickens a regular part of our weekly plans to keep our grocery bills down. (We eat the meat and then boil the bones/carcass into broth, which we can have as another meal of soup.) As prices continue to rise, they become a better and better deal.
