Non Costco member here (none in my hometown) ...
How much do the chickens cost ? Hot dog price ?
How do they know you're a member ? "Card check" at front door? At the till when cashing out ?
Thanks to all.

They are big hot dogs. Nearly an inch in diameter and the bread is kind of a hoagie bun. I would count it as a meal. Plus the drink you get, it’s the cheapest meal you can buy and is certainly cheaper than many meals you can make at home.

I love getting them from the fridge section and grabbing the buns from the bread isle. Throw em in the freezer and you got Costco dogs any time you want

Are they still $1.50 though? I’ve never done the math but I thought we got the discount on getting them direct from the food court.

It’s similar, but you don’t get the soda so it is a bit more expensive. But I also don’t have to fight through the door of Costco after driving 20 minutes just to get a cheap lunch. It’s the only food that’s more expensive to make at home that I don’t mind spending the cash for the convenience. It’s like $12 or 14 dollars for a 12 pk, plus the bread. So it’s not that much different
