Whether you look forward to your weekly grocery trip or dread the day you have to restock the fridge, pretty much no one likes shopping in store that's overstocked with people but understocked with items. If you want to avoid long lines, it's crucial to be a little strategic. Many grocery stores are open every day of the week, but if you really hate crowds, the absolute worst day to shop is Sunday. This is the one day that a lot of people have off, and they all have the same idea: It's time to stock up for next week.
Costco's reasonably priced rotisserie chickens are one of the grocery chain's most popular items. We did some digging into where they're sourced.

When it comes to getting an easy meal on the table, nothing compares to a store-bought rotisserie chicken. It can be served up piece by piece or shredded into tacos, but probably one of the biggest achievements of ready-made chickens is simplifying chicken pot pie. Skipping the step of roasting a whole bird can transform pot pie from a weekend treat to a weeknight dinner in no time. The only drawback is that you might miss some flavor in the pot pie filling, since you can't scrape up all the tasty bits that stick to the bottom of the roasting pan. However, you can do the next best thing, which is searing the chicken skin in a pan to build some flavor. Not only will this bring back some of that roasting pan goodness, but it also uses a part of the chicken that was probably going to get thrown away.
No matter what the tap lineup looks like at your local craft beer bar these days, there are so many more beer styles to drink than IPA. If you like big, strong beers but are looking to break out of the hop overload of many of today's American offerings, a great place to start is Belgian styles like tripels. While the name tripel is pronounced just like the American spelling of triple, the beer itself is not the same as, say, a triple IPA. The beers were originally created by Trappist monks (those who follow the reformed branch of Roman Catholic Cistercians) and brewed very differently than IPAs. While a triple IPA is typically very hoppy and hazy, a Belgian tripel is a strong, golden-colored ale with a spicy flavor, moderate hops, and a crisp finish.
It's no secret why Costco is the third largest retailer in the United States – where else can you get a $1.50 hotdog meal and an 80-inch flat screen TV in the same trip? However, not everything is a great deal at the warehouse juggernaut, so if you're going to pay for a membership, you might as well learn the secret language of Costco's price tag codes. There's a lot of info hidden in plain sight on every item tag, including if goods are on sale, a manager's special, or about to be discontinued. One label that's pretty easy to understand is green price tags.
While it would be nice to make everything on your dinner table from scratch, most of us don't have time for full-on homesteading. Thankfully, there are products like frozen dinner rolls to fill the gap. These days, there are tons of great options that can fool even the most discerning bread lover into thinking you spent the afternoon kneading and shaping dough. But if you really want to impress your guests with the bread basket, break out the store-bought pesto. This herby addition will effortlessly elevate any frozen roll, and with an extra sprinkle of cheese, you're practically reaching restaurant-level territory.
There aren't a lot of cocktails that can cover as many bases as an Irish coffee.

All you need to make one is some good quality whiskey like

These days, you can get lost in all the choices in the grocery store ice cream aisle. From house-brand to premium, there's a carton for every budget, but unfortunately, many store-bought ice creams don't deliver much flavor. Artificial flavorings are more affordable than all-natural ingredients like expensive vanilla beans
