1. WHile I was on SNAP...

I would buy the day old rotisserie chicken from the cooler at my local food store. Currently you can't buy hot foods even if you have to go home to make use of them. I can see where they don't want the $ to be used at fast food joints but they should allow whatever is sold at an actual grocery store regardless of whether it's deli or not.

2. I work at a retail grocery store, high-end.

I marvel at how EBT will pay for a raw roaster chicken at $15 but not pay for a $6.99 rotisserie chicken.

If the food is pre-prepared in the store, no dice. If you buy ingredients to make the same thing, no prob!

3. Good deal. Chicken soup, chicken tacos, chicken salad, etc. All from one chicken.

I literally get about four dishes from one chicken, and it feeds us for about a week. My favorite is chicken enchiladas. Yum.

4. It is just my kitty and me, so I get anywhere from 6-8 portions,

plus the stock/bone broth I make from the carcass. That $5 is a LOT of food!
