Last night, we were planning on having leftovers for supper. But upon further investigation, we discovered that there really wasn’t enough leftovers for a meal. So, I made a quick decision to head to Meijer’s (regional grocery chain)

Meijer’s has a nice little deli section. They don’t carry a lot but they do have chicken in various shapes and sizes. One of my favorites is their rotisserie chicken. They cook these chickens right their in their own rotisserie oven, package them in a hard plastic container and keep them warm just for that supper time crowd like me. $5.00.

Over in the cooler case, I grab a container of baked beans. Chicken and baked beans, you can’t go wrong with that combination. Almost a one stop picnic.

As I am using the auto checkout machine, I notice the price on the baked beans. $7.00!! Pound for pound, the baked beans cost more than the chicken. I feel robbed. I suppose this is where Meijer’s make their money. The chicken is just the draw. The real money is in the baked beans and potato salad.
