Doubtful the chickens are twice as big as Sam's sells... unless they are actually small turkeys. We get at least two meals out of a Sam's rotisserie chicken too.

Does Costco sell packages of hot dogs? I thought it would be interesting to see how much their $1.50 hot dog would cost if I cooked it at home. I tried searching the costco.com website but could not find either hot dogs or buns.

At Sam's, purchasing a package of 1/4lb hot dogs and buns would work out to a cost of $1.30 per hot dog. Sam's and Costco both are losing money when they sell that for only $1.50. But, it gets you in the door and once you are there you'll find something else to buy too.

,FYI… Sam’s uses Nathan’s hot dogs in their food court. Same ones used in the 4th of July hot dog eating contest.

This is just some FYI.
To cut costs, Costco opened its own 400,000-square-foot poultry processing plant in Nebraska in 2019. The plant enables the company to manage the chickens from farm to production and ensures that the birds are grown to the correct size, typically around 3 pounds.
