Costco Offers New Option for Its $1.50 Hot Dog Combo
Costco members can now swap fountain soda for a 16.9-ounce Kirkland Signature water, while the longtime $1.50 price stays the same.
- Costco introduced a 16.9-ounce bottle of Kirkland Signature water as an alternative to the traditional 20-ounce fountain soda in its iconic $1.50 hot dog combo on Tuesday.
- For the first time in more than 40 years, Costco is making a change to its famous meal deal, though the quarter-pound hot dog itself remains entirely unaltered.
- The new beverage option provides flexibility for Costco members who prefer a resealable bottle or wish to avoid fountain soda, offering a welcome alternative for those seeking lower-sugar choices.
- Customers can still order the classic soda pairing unchanged, and Costco CEO Ron Vachris has maintained the price, stating, "The hot dog price will not change as long as I'm around."
- Accessing this bargain requires an active Costco membership, now mandatory for food court purchases at most locations, positioning the deal within the retailer's membership-based business model.
