Here’s What You Should Know Before Buying a Rotisserie Chicken from Walmart

Walmart
$4.98
~1.8 lbs
~$2.77/lb
Widely available, but smaller size
Costco
$4.99
~4.5–5 lbs
~$1.00–1.10/lb
Best value — but much larger
Sam’s Club
$4.98
~3.5–4 lbs
~$1.30–1.40/lb
Better value than Walmart
Trader Joe’s
$4.99
~2.5 lbs
~$2.00/lb
Organic option, better flavor for some
Local Grocery Stores
$6–$8
~2–3 lbs
~$2.50–3.00/lb
Often higher quality, but pricier

✅ Bottom line:
While Walmart’s chicken is cheap upfront, Costco and Sam’s Club offer far more meat for the same price — if you have the membership and freezer space.
