one of the staples at the pantry here used to be chicken from walmart’s deli. the roasted and fried chicken that didn’t sell even out of the cold case the day or two after, or on markdown on the sell-by day.

the store now freezes what doesn’t sell, relabels it as ‘chilled’ with a new sell-by date, and puts it back out at full price, one or two at a time as they sell.
