We'd normally pick them up on grocery shopping days. After shopping for the next two weeks, it was usually late enough that cooking meat would take too long. Rotisserie chicken shredded makes a good meat for a chicken alfredo pasta, or on a pizza for BBQ chicken pizza, etc. And the difference in price with a raw whole chicken (usually less than 3 dollars) was well worth it for the savings in time and avoiding the fast-food stop when the kids were losing their minds in the back seat. We lived about 30 mins from the grocery store, so munching on chicken was a good way to keep the kids (both less than 4yrs old) calm and happy.
