Costco's iconic $1.50 hot dog and soda combo has not seen a price increase since 1985, a strategy that enhances customer loyalty. Despite inflation, Costco is unlikely to change this price, as it boosts customer appeal and sales of other items. The company initially sourced hot dogs from Hebrew National but shifted to its own Kirkland Signature brand in 2008 to manage costs. This pricing strategy is complemented by shopping habits that lead to higher spending in-store, underscoring how customers perceive value at Costco.
Spending just $1.50 on a soda and a hot dog is unheard of these days, and the wholesale store famously hasn't changed the price since 1985.
Costco's hot dogs were originally made by Hebrew National, but demand was so high that they started producing their own hot dogs to control costs.
