The real secret to saving money on your grocery bill has less to do with catching a deal and more to do with smart shopping. That means, before you head into the store, planning your list to get a general idea of what you need, deciding which items are worth the splurge, and which you can swap for cheaper alternatives or buy in bulk. And when it comes to buying in bulk, there’s no better place to shop than Costco.

According to the TikToker, the box contains 10 whole chickens for $49.99, which works out to $5 per chicken or just under $1 per pound. After bringing the box home, she breaks the chicken down into parts and vacuum-seals the pieces so she can store them in the freezer for later use. Although the chickens aren’t seasoned or cooked, they are pre-brined with a mix of water, salt, spices, sugar, modified food starch, and carrageenan.

While the hack itself is incredibly smart, several users in the comments couldn’t get over the idea of having to break the chickens down themselves, with many saying, “I feel like the amount of savings vs. [the] amount of work is not worth it.” Beyond that, the only other real hesitation people had was that carrageenan is included in the ingredients list. “Why does it have carrageenan ?,” questioned several people. Although the answer isn’t incredibly straightforward, the long and short of it is that carrageenan is often added to improve texture and moisture retention.

That being said, you still can’t beat this money-saving Costco hack, regardless. On average, you can feed 3 to 4 people with one rotisserie chicken, but with some creative planning, you can stretch it to feed several more. Not to mention, you can use the bones to make chicken stock from scratch, making this an even more budget-friendly hack. Personally, we’ll take it over a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla, and one other thing any day.
