Costco Food Court – NEW Menu Item!
Have you been to Costco lately? They recently added a new item to the food court menu – and we're drooling! The beloved churro was recently replaced with a sweet, new treat – a giant chocolate chip cookie!
The cookie is served warm (YUM!), made with all butter, includes a blend of bittersweet & semi sweet chocolate, and clocks in at a whopping 750 calories. The giant cookie costs just $2.49 ~ but it's plenty big enough to share!
I haven't tried this cookie yet, but I've heard it's delicious and is similar in size to a Crumbl cookie (but costs about 50% less!). So if you're craving sweets or looking for a cheap date night, drop by your local Costco! 🙂
Have you tried this new cookie yet? What did you think?

Who Has a Better Hot Dog Combo – Costco or Sam's Club?
We all know that Costco and Sam's Club both offer delicious and affordable selections on their Food Court Menus, like huge pizzas that'll feed a crowd, delicious frozen yogurt, ginormous beef hot dogs, and more.
However – is one food court “better” than the other??
Since both warehouses offer super affordable all-beef hot dog combos that are raved about by their members…let's take a closer look to see just how the two warehouses compare here!
First, the Costco Hot Dog + Drink Combo has been the same $1.50 price since the 1980s and, according to the Costco CFO, it will likely stay that price “forever.” However, Sam's Club recently lowered the price on their similar All Beef Frank + Drink Combo, making it a pretty good contender.
Plus, the new, lower price is here to stay! 🎉
But does it taste as good as Costco's famous dog?
After learning that Sam's Club lowered the price on their GIANT Hot Dog Combo (seems like lowering prices is a rare occurrence anywhere these days?), we thought it would be fun to do a taste test. 🙂
SO, my friend Shannon headed to both Costco and Sam's Club to see which All-Beef 1/4-lb. Hot Dog really tasted better and which combo was the best bang for your buck…keep reading to see what she thought!
But first, let's take a closer look to see how both of the food courts compare…

SO…Which One is Better?
My friend Shannon's husband tested out both of the hot dogs and said that the Sam's Club hot dog is the clear winner – he says it's SO yummy and juicy with lots of flavor! Plus, it's an overall better value, too!
Not only do you get a bigger drink ✔️, more condiments to choose from✔️, and a slightly better drink selection at the food court✔️, you're also saving a few cents along the way. Sounds like a win to me! 😍
SO if you're out and about running errands or looking for a frugal meal idea, you know where to head! Then take those 12¢ savings and put them towards your eggs…because we're all trying to save where we can there). 😉

I wish they had the longer hot dog here and not the fat one. I have to cut the fat one longwise to eat it. It is just to big for my mouth. I can imagine it would be helpful for children too.
So true!
If they had COKE products, I would have them often. I know that Pepsi and Coke are very competitive and Pepsi came up with the best price, but I would be glad to pay the few cents more to get COKE.
They were handing out samples of the new cookie at Costco and it was delicious!
Oh YUM!! That sounds sooo good!
Thanks for letting us know!
