Costco is continuing its popular $1.50 hot dog and soda combo, a staple in its food courts since 1984. The price has remained unchanged, with company officials assuring customers that it will not increase due to inflation.

In addition to the food deal, Costco is offering a special promotion through Groupon for new members and those whose memberships have been expired for at least 18 months. For a limited time, customers can purchase a Gold Star membership for $65 or an Executive membership for $130. Each membership comes with a $100 promo code that can be used on future purchases of $200 or more at Costco, either in-store or online.

The Gold Star membership is designed for casual shoppers. It provides access to Costco's wide range of products and services, making it a cost-effective choice for individuals or families who shop occasionally. Benefits include warehouse access, fuel access, and a free household card.

On the other hand, the Executive membership is tailored for frequent shoppers. At $130, it offers a 2% annual reward on qualified purchases, along with additional perks such as a $10 monthly credit on same-day orders through Costco or Instacart. This membership is ideal for those who spend over $3,000 annually at Costco, as it provides significant savings through exclusive discounts and promotions.

The Groupon offer is valid until October 24. After purchasing, members will receive an email confirmation from Costco within two hours, and the promo code will be sent within two weeks. The promo code is valid until November 9, 2025.

While a membership is required to shop at Costco, non-members can still purchase prescriptions at Costco pharmacies or use a Costco Shop Card if gifted.

As Halloween approaches, this deal is particularly appealing for those looking to stock up on candy and snacks for the holiday. Costco's ongoing commitment to value, exemplified by the hot dog deal and membership offers, continues to attract shoppers looking for savings.
