There are always long lines at the Costco hot-food stand, especially during the lunch and dinner hours. The food is inexpensive: An all-beef hot dog with a 20-ounce soda and refills goes for $1.50. An 18-inch whole pizza is $9.95. Cheeseburgers are $4.99. And for dessert, a twisted churro, for a buck.
If this state fair menu doesn’t please your palate, or waistline, Costco recently started replacing some items with healthier fare. The initial reaction has been less than kind. Loyalists immediately took to Twitter to express their outrage after Costco pulled the Polish hot dog from the menu in favor of an acai bowl.
Of course “dining at Costco” doesn’t only mean eating at the food court. The warehouse club is swimming in food-demo stands, where employees cook up small bites for shoppers. Still hungry? If the first sample wasn’t filling enough, you can always circle back and wait your turn again…and again…and again. By the time you check out, you’ve had a free meal.

We are retirees. Love ya Costco. We are thankfully very active right now (ages 79), but are happy to see we can order groceries when the ol shopping days are over......(hopefully not until we meet the speed limit of 100mph)!!! Love, Lil ol lady from Escondido, CA
Can Costco make my prescribed eyeglasses dark?
If you have AAA road insurance, any office takes passport pics free!
Wonderful to see everything
Costco sells. Do they deliver groceries??
Yes and they are fantastic. It’s called ‘sameday Costco’. We use them all the time. If the menu doesn’t show what you know they carry, describe it the best you can and if they have it the shopper will get it for you. We have had nothing but the greatest shoppers and service.
How about getting a Cosco in Northeast PA.
Maybe in Scranton
One more item that should be on the list - TRAVEL. Past few years we have saved thousands of dollars booking Cruises (12), Travel Packages (4) and car rentals (7).
The iTunes card for Apple was a huge eye opener for me. I’m going to use this, so the charges won’t be on my CC.
Thank you; Every dollar saved is very important to be able to maintain a decent standard of
living .
Question: Where are your locations in middle TN, beside West Nashville?
I love Costco but there is not one near me in Savannah GA.
Supposedly, there will be one soon near the Tanger Outlets or in Pooler!
