Welcome

Let it be known that this blog is dedicated to the proposition that a day at Costco is more than shopping: It’s an event, a lifestyle, a strategic quest for a lunch gratis. Audience comments – and personal tips and advice – are eagerly solicited. This is an interactive site – use it!

Dining Out at Costco: Kirkland Signature Beef Hot Dogs and Costco Pizza



We had a big reaction months ago to a post on Costco hot dogs – the photo alone accounted for thousands of hits – so our recent take-out meal merits a redux, especially for all the harried holiday shoppers who could use a fast and tasty dinner on the go. Plus it’s a great excuse to show off appetite-inducing images.

After a marathon day of shopping, we left Costco with two dogs and two slices for a grand total of $7, drinks included. The large beef franks are the highest quality, and the Costco pizza (we opted for the combo) is legendary. And large. Each slice is practically a quarter of a pizza, easily shareable. We took ours to go, split one slice and kept the other for the next day.

We don’t advocate a steady diet of dogs and pizza, but it makes for a great occasional treat. And you don’t have to be a Costco Member to take advantage. But members do have the option of using the red wall phones inside the warehouse to phone-in orders for whole pizzas, pay at the register, and pick up on their way out.
