TIL I could make 4 meals from one $6 rotisserie chicken if I stopped trying to make it last for sandwiches

I had to decide between buying a rotisserie chicken for $6 or buying packs of chicken breasts for $10 at the store near my house in Orlando. Picked the rotisserie chicken and shredded it all at once. Got tacos, soup, a casserole, and chicken salad out of it. Has anyone else found a way to stretch one chicken into multiple dinners?

Wait, does anyone else here just completely give up on the original plan and eat the whole chicken in one sitting? I swear, every time I buy one of those things I tell myself I'm gonna stretch it into all these meals, but then I get home and I'm already pulling pieces off while I'm standing over the sink. Idk maybe it's just me but I think people who actually pull off the four-meal thing are basically wizards. I mean I've gotten good at shredding it and freezing some in a bag for later, but that's about as far as my self control goes.

Is it really that hard to just not eat the whole thing at once?
