I don't do Wal-Mart in any of its many forms. Used to be a good place
when Sam Walton was running things. But they've morphed into money
grubbing bean counters for whom quality, service, and safety take a back
seat to the bottom line.

My local/regional chain County Market has rotissiere chickens (hot or
Cold) for U$10.29. 'bout the same as you pay given the rate of exchange.

I was 'bout to speak to that before we get a rocket from the moderator.

So, I'll just bung in a recipe and batten down my hatches for what will
be a very bumpy ride after 20 January 2025.
