Costco has made a rare change to its iconic hot dog combo by introducing a bottled water option while maintaining the original price of $1.50. This shift marks the first change in the combo’s offering in 40 years.
As of early Tuesday, the hot dog combo now includes a 16.9-ounce bottle of Kirkland Signature water, replacing the previous 20-ounce fountain drink option.
The hot dog combo features a jumbo all-beef hot dog and a drink, which has been a fan favorite since its introduction in 1985.
The decision to expand drink options comes as Costco limits food court access to members only, enhancing the Costco shopping experience for its loyal customers.
The price of $1.50 for the hot dog combo has remained unchanged since it was first introduced, making it one of the best deals around.
Many shoppers appreciate this affordability, with one customer stating, “It’s a jumbo hot dog and a Coke for $1.50; you cannot beat that deal.”
This change reflects Costco’s ongoing commitment to providing value while adapting to customer preferences.
The bottled water option aims to cater to health-conscious shoppers who prefer non-sugary drinks.
As this news circulates among Costco members, reactions are expected to vary.
The hot dog deal continues to be a staple for many who frequent the Costco food court.
