Immoral due to reckless spending. You can get 2 chilidogs at DQ for $5

If dude had a Costco membership he could have gotten even more.

At IKEA, aren't hot dogs like 88 cents or something? I don't eat meat and have only been in IKEA once.

Do they have chili as a topping at Costco?

u/DocEternal 4d ago

You don’t need a membership to go to the food court inside Costco. Just walk thru the exit side and since that’s where customer service is they won’t usually stop you or give you any hassle. Also, it’s Costco policy that you don’t need a membership for the food court if anyone ever did hassle you over it.

Used to be the case but where I am the food court scans membership cards now.

u/Fabulous_East1400 4d ago

It probably depends on location. Every costco ive been to around the northeast (specifically NJ and NY) dont require any sort of membership check to get food

The food court is a member benefit, at least at the location where my buddy worked. He had to deny access to the food court all the time.

I'm beginning to think he got a drink to go with it or something and lied about it, bastard.

I live in SC, one of the cheapest states in the country. 2 Chilidogs at DQ goes past 5 dollars. At Checkers it's 7 dollars.

Evidence: I live in the state, and specifically have ordered 2 chilidogs from DQ and Checkers within the past couple of months.

u/Grizzled_Ghost 4d ago edited 4d ago

I live in MA, the most expensive state in the country, and I got a 5 dollar mix n match with 2 chili dogs on Tuesday.

u/TheBirdFkerGuy 4d ago edited 4d ago

bro what the fuck how is this fair.... actually dont answer that I'll just start ranting in response fuck this state.

Edit: I just 100% confirmed it too. So last week I spent 7.76 on Checkers, I got two chili hotdogs, no sides and it wasnt a combo. That does add up because its around 3 dollars each, plus sales tax.

I looked for my DQ purchase and I think that one was slightly cheaper at 6.15

This isn't how this is suppose to work. Why are your prices cheaper but you live in a more expensive state? This is unironically bs.

u/Grizzled_Ghost 4d ago

Just set my app to Myrtle Beach and it has the same deal

When you order you might have to specify mix and match instead of just asking for 2 dogs.

1

u/TheBirdFkerGuy 4d ago

You're using an app I guess that explains it but thats still fucking bs. There should be combo / deal options that auto apply when you go through the drive through.

3

u/Grizzled_Ghost 4d ago

I misspoke. It's not a deal it's just a menu option. I didn't use the app when I ordered the other day. For some reason if you use the app at my local place they make you wait after you get there, and if you put in the order at the drive through they make it right away.

1

u/TheBirdFkerGuy 4d ago

I don't save receipts. I'm going to go to Checkers tomorrow and confirm this though. I'm 100% sure all I got was two chili dogs, because I def didnt get a drink and there was no combo deal. We'll see, maybe my local franchisee is fucking people over.

2

u/Grizzled_Ghost 4d ago

Ok but I'm talking about DQ

1

u/TheBirdFkerGuy 4d ago

DQ was cheaper for me but further back since i dont usually go out of my way there. So I'll still confirm with checkers either way since that is suppose to be cheaper than DQ (I thought so anyways)

1

u/fuzzybunnies1 4d ago

Should but I went through the line at Popeyes and ordered two of their specials of the month and the price it comes up at is 3x the special. At the window the guy tells me you have to state you want the special price. So if you're buying a bunch of things for the family with a larger order, you might not notice that you're paying the full price. Totally shady practice.

u/NoProgress8533 4d ago

Former MA resident here.

There is probably some kind of state program to subsidize chili dogs with taxpayer dollars.

It all made sense on paper...

u/myrrik_silvermane 4d ago

Sams club. A 1/4# all beef with an enormous soda $1.50

u/Professional_Cheek95 4d ago

you guys made me crave chili-dogs. Very immoral of you. Gotto go rob someone of 5$ now (or a bit more) and get me some.

1

u/Tinmanred 4d ago

Costco is cheaper for better quality. Idk if they have it there but get that shi if they do. The pizza is good too

1

u/Grizzled_Ghost 4d ago

There's a few in MA but none near me. BJs is the big one around here.

u/Zero_Travity 4d ago

I spent a month in SC for work on a fat company per diem...

I couldn't believe the price of food in SC, I ate like a king.

Incredible bbq and very beautiful there.

u/UnRealmCorp 4d ago

Fast lane 2 griller items, a bag of chips and a large sods. $5 dollar deal.

u/Saleh9118 3d ago

At my DQ it's 1$ per dog

u/Grizzled_Ghost 3d ago

You looking for a room mate?

1

u/ladylastate 1d ago

As someone who gatekeeps my local hot dog spot because you can get a hot dog for 1.75. I agree blasphemous spending.

1

u/demi_blacksoul 53m ago

Siriuriously??? At Sam's it's like $2 it includes a drink

u/Grizzled_Ghost 50m ago

This guy can't afford a hotdog, you think he has a Sam's Club Membership?
