#20778 — Costco makes decision about $1.50 hot dog-and-soda combo as inflation soars

A top Costco Wholesale executive confirmed the big-box retailer has no 
plans to change the price of its $1.50 hot dog-and-soda combo at its 
stores despite months of decades-high inflation.

Costco CFO Richard Galanti reiterated the cheap price point on the fan-
favorite deal would stay in place during the company’s fourth-quarter 
earnings call on Thursday.

An analyst asked whether Costco was adjusting prices in other parts of its 
business to maintain sales margins for its hot dog-and-soda deal and other 
value offerings.

“Lightning just struck me,” Galanti joked when the combo was mentioned. He 
added that higher-margin businesses such as gas and travel sales help 
Costco maintain its value deals.

“Those things help us be more aggressive in other areas, or as you 
mentioned, hold the price on the hot dog and the soda a little longer – 
forever,” Galanti added.

Costco and other retailers have hiked prices over the last year, passing 
along the higher costs of commodities and goods to consumers. Inflation 
has slightly declined in recent months but was still hovering at a hotter-
than-expected 8.3% in August.

Galanti estimated that price inflation at Costco was about 8% during the 
fourth quarter, with increases “a little higher on the food and sundries 
side.”

Costco doesn’t have any immediate plans to hike its membership fees, 
according to the executive. Annual membership dues at the retailer 
currently start at $60.

Still, Galanti noted that membership price increases were likely at some 
point in the future. Costco has generally hiked its fees roughly every 
five to six years.

“Our view is, is we are confident in our ability to do so and at some 
point, we will. But it’s a question of when, not if,” Galanti said.

Despite the inflationary environment, Costco topped analysts’ expectations 
in the fourth quarter. The retailer posted quarterly revenue $72.09 
billion and earnings per share.

But shares still fell more than 4% in trading Friday after executives 
noted a decline in gross margins.

Costco executives have famously avoided hiking prices in their food 
courts, especially for the hot dog-and-soda combo, regardless of changes 
in the economy.

In July, Costco CEO Craig Jelinek delivered a one-word answer when asked 
on CNBC whether prices changes were being considered for the deal.

“No,” he said.

Do yuo have to be a member to get teh Hot Dog's at costco?  There is one in 
my area but it is far away on the other side of town.  I really would like 
to try one, but it's not worth the trip especially if I have to buy a 
membership.

fraid so.  Without membership you can (depending on State) purchase
booze and drugs (the latter at a higher price than members) but that's it.

** HOWVER **, if you have one of their "gift cards" (pre-paid cash cards),
you can go into the store and purchase anything.  You can use, say,
a $50 card for a $75 purchase and make up the rest in cash.

So if you've got a friend with a membership, ask them to
pick up a couple of $25 cards, use them to get your hot dog,
and I guarantee you'll find something else to use the
rest on.

Gas is cheaper there AND you get a 4% rebate.  If you go before the 
store opens there are generally no lines.  My Costco is 10 miles away 
(2/3 gallon round trip) and I go maybe once a month.

Real shame they dropped the combo pizzas :-(

to be clear, that 4% rebate is only if you 
use the Costco branded Citibank credit card,
(and maybe with the extra price "executive
membership").

But yes, if your friend bought you some pre-paid Costco
gift cards, you _can_ use them at the gas pump - which
is often the cheapest gas around, even without rebates.

SIDENOTE:  you can NOT do the same at BJ's Club.  If
you have their gift cards but are not a member, you
will NOT be able to gas up.

This caused me some grief a year ago and yes, I wrote
their corporate hq pissed as hell.

Yes, I forgot that.  With that CC you get the 4% at any gas station.  No 
idea about exec membership.

Sam's Club also has cheap* gas;  not as cheap* as Costco, but better 
than Arco (local cheap* stations). Don't know if gift cards work for gas.

* For recent values of 'cheap'.  $5.39 today, $5.89 yesterday according 
to http://www.losangelesgasprices.com/  'Gas Buddy' website is useful.

IIRC, also tires in NJ.

Usually the food court is inside the building so membership is required
to access.  But Sunnyvale, CA has (had? haven't been there in a long
time) the food court outside, so anyone could buy food there.

Until earlier this year, you could buy gasoline without membership
but Costco ended that practice.  Could you be mixing and matching?

Really? By me, you always had to stick your costco card in before your
credit card.

I should have clarified..  I was replying to the earlier poster
who talked about "tires in NJ" to point out that _in NJ_ you
could pull that gasoline deal. (No other States) But they ended 
that deal.

[USA Today]

Costco is ending an exception that gave New Jersey residents a break on gas

Local has the food court outside, but in the last year they added a 
kiosk -- you swipe your card, place the order and then pick it up at the 
window.

     Had Danny replied with a simple, "No." You would have whined and
cried, and likely fed to you NEED to lie, about it.
     That you sat and waited over four months to whine and cry kind of
proves this.
     Danny was nice enough to let you know that, generally, you cannot
get a hotdog without a membership. But he offers a way around the
rule. A way that will allow you to try one without the expense of a
membership you may never use again.
     It's long past time for you to grow up.
