A Rotisserie chicken is a wonderful thing
People often say that, but beyond being cheap, they taste terrible

Depends on your household's size and income.
Family of 3, or with tiny kids, and HHI<$300k, TJ.
Family with teens, Costco.
HHI>$300k or DINK, Wegmans or Whole Foods.
HHI>$400k, pay a home chef to shop and cook a few days' worth of meals in your kitchen.
HHI<$200k and kids, Aldi or Lidl have a bunch of frozen family meals that are better/more interesting than traditional grocery stores.
Personally I long for the days my next door neighbor would travel and have trouble canceling her meal delivery service, and would ask me to pick it up off her porch as a favor and do as I wish with it. Delicious, no work at all, free. Kid loved it. Factor X.

How did your DH taste?
