Grocery prices may have steadily climbed over the last few years, but at Costco, the cost of several items haven’t budged.

If you want to give yourself some breathing room from inflation while buying popular foods, these are some of the meals to consider.

1. Hot-dog-and-soda combo

Price: $1.50 since 1985

If the hot-dog-and-soda combo kept up with inflation, it would be more than $4 today. But Costco has been firm about keeping the price the same.

Former Costco chief financial officer Richard Galanti said in 2022 that the hot dog price “stays forever,” and his replacement, Gary Millerchip, wasted no time two months into his tenure to say that “the $1.50 hot dog price is safe.”

2. Rotisserie chicken

Price: $4.99 since 2009

The rotisserie chicken would cost more than $7 if it went up with inflation, but Costco hasn’t increased the price of this popular item. The business strategy works for a membership model like Costco’s: Items like the rotisserie chicken keep members and gets them in the door of the warehouse, where they’ll likely spend on other products and services.

3. Whole 18-inch food court pizza

Price: $9.95 since 1989

Costco’s 18-inch pizza at the food court is an easy meal for a family (and may even be enough for leftovers) after a shopping trip. If the pizza’s price had kept up with inflation, it would have more than doubled to $24.20 from its debut price — but luckily for shoppers, it’s maintained the same price since the late 1980s.

4. Pizza slice

Price: $1.99 since 1989

If you don’t want to buy a whole pizza, you can just get a slice for $1.99. It’s more convenient for people who are eating a slice alone rather than sharing an entire pizza with a group. That $1.99 slice would cost roughly $4 if Costco adjusted its price for inflation.

5. 12-ounce soft-serve ice cream cup

Price: $1.99 since 2020

The 12-ounce soft-serve ice cream cup is a relatively new addition to the food court. It debuted in 2020 and has maintained the same price ever since. The cost of this same ice cream cup would be $2.60 if Costco kept up with inflation.

6. The membership itself

Price: $65 since 2024

Costco’s standard member costs $65 annually while the executive member costs $130, and those prices that have been the same since 2024. While the price of membership has grown over time, its fee still grants access to a wide range of products and services that come with lower costs than you’ll find elsewhere.
