Meanwhile in Amerikkka:

Costco CEO says $1.50 hot dogs and $4.99 rotisserie chickens aren't going away

In two months, Ikea sold 1 million of its new [75 cent] veggie hot dogs [...] People love it.

Five dollars for a whole rotisserie chicken? That sounds extremely cheap.

It is extremely cheap. It's what business people call a "loss leader." The idea is to use the absurdly cheap rotisserie chicken as a means to motivate people to come into the store. When you have people in the store, it's easier to sell them more stuff that you actually make money on.

What do they make money on then? Furniture?

It seems to be a mix between high volume ("hey this seems cheap, let's buy lots", plus Costco doesn't do small sizes), membership fees (free money plus it incentives customer loyalty), and some additional services they offer like handyman type work and some B2B stuff (services from retailers are always marked up crazy high compared to the physical goods).
