Thirty wings for $30 sounds like the kind of restaurant deal that is difficult to ignore. Wingstop has used $1-per-wing promotions that let customers choose classic, boneless, or mix-and-match wings, although these offers have been limited-time promotions. But there is another question that is easy to overlook: What would happen if you took that same $30 to the grocery store? Buying raw wings can give you more control over seasoning, cooking, portions, and leftovers, while Wingstop gives you something you cannot put a price on quite as easily: convenience. The better choice depends on whether you are shopping for the experience of restaurant wings or trying to get the most food possible for your money.
