Costco Sticks to $1.50 Price, Adds Bottled Water
29 Apr
Summary
- The $1.50 hot dog combo now includes bottled water.
- Costco committed to keeping the hot dog combo price fixed.
- A content creator ate only Costco hot dogs for a week.
Costco has updated its famous $1.50 hot dog combo by adding bottled water as a drink option, a significant change after more than four decades. Previously, customers could only pair their all-beef hot dog with a soda from the fountain. This new choice features a Kirkland Signature 16.9-oz. bottle.
The wholesale giant has also reaffirmed its commitment to keeping the $1.50 price for the hot dog combo indefinitely. Executives have stated that other business areas support maintaining this price, ensuring its stability for the foreseeable future. This strategy has been in place since at least 2022.
The enduring popularity of the combo was recently showcased by a content creator who consumed only Costco hot dogs for a week. He spent $43.50 for his food, highlighting the exceptional value compared to average millennial spending. This dedication underscores the meal's cult following and its status as an unbeatably priced option.
