Rising Gas Prices Turn Costco Into a Fuel- and Retail-Winner

With US gas prices staying above $4 per gallon (recently topping $4.50), Costco’s fuel sales jumped about 3% last month, helping lift overall US comparable sales by 11.7% and drawing more shoppers to the warehouse, where non-gas transactions rose 8% and visits were up 3.8% over the four weeks ending May 3. The combination of higher fuel spend and Costco’s affluent customer base—supported by loyalty programs—illustrates how gas-price dynamics are shaping consumer spending in a K-shaped economy.

Costco Adds Water Option to Its $1.50 Hot Dog Combo as Coca‑Cola Signage Arrives

Costco quietly expanded its iconic $1.50 hot dog combo to include a Hot Dog & Water option alongside the Hot Dog & Soda; the price remains $1.50 and unchanged since the 1980s, with CFO comments backing its stability. The change is reflected in some stores with Coca‑Cola beverage signage replacing Pepsi, and social media posts show the water option has been rolling out for months. The piece also notes related context: tighter access rules for outside food courts and Costco’s prior membership- and pricing-directions.

Costco 8-pack bagels fuel value-versus-waste debate

Costco is selling Kirkland Signature bagels in a single eight-pack at select locations (around $4.99), replacing the previous two-pack bulk option. The shift has sparked a split among shoppers: advocates say it reduces waste and suits smaller households, while detractors argue it raises price per bagel and challenges Costco’s bulk-buy identity; many shoppers still plan to buy multiple packs for variety, and questions about ingredient transparency for certain flavors were raised.
