about 354,000 chicken wings for $1.5M at sams club buying 8 packages of 24 wings for around $812. So 192 wings for $812.

That's a lot of chicken wings!

Or even a fraction of that many?

I wonder how many cubic feet that many wings would take up. Like how many tractor-trailers would you need to haul them all? I have so many questions!

local bars and restaurants.

this was over a 2 year period... so I guess she had "inside help" from some finance officer that was looking the other way when they paid $83,000 a month (during the school year) for just chicken wings.

Despite my (semi-facetious) questions, I was thinking this had to be something that was done over a long period of time. A side business fits nicely with that!
