HE SAYS: A quick and easy solution, and a tasty one at that. The rotisserie chickens are a good and cheap option for when you need to add some protein, pronto.

SHE SAYS: The fancy roast chicken is always great value, and I fell on this with a good appetite, though after a while I was chickened out. The spinach was still quite fresh - lately spinach seems to hold up remarkably well, even after a week - and the tomatoes were surprisingly sweet-tart and tasty.
