I was running errands with DS non-stop on Sunday in an effort to keep busy. At 10:30am, after checking out at Costco, we stopped at the concession window for pizza and hot dog. They threw in a free drink. I guess when you buy one of each this is part of the deal? So for $3 I got pizza/hot dog/drink.
I've been ignoring everyone all these years when they talk about how good the food is.
Has anyone bought the Costco brand frozen pizzas? They come 4 to a pack for $9.99.
I used to buy their 3 packs of Mystic brand pizzas, as they are local to us. But they stopped selling these 6-12 months ago.
Are the Costco frozen pizzas the same as what you would buy at the concession stand? Or do they sell the fresh pizzas (you can buy near meat/bakery section in a box) what they sell there?
I just wish the seating area weren't so crowded. Especially now that we have a baby! Our local Costco is so busy that it has an underground parking garage.
tip: when you pay for your stuff at the register, you can place your order for the concession stand and pay for everything at once. Then you avoid waiting in line for food; go straight to the Pick Up Window with your receipt.

There's a feature in the register that electronically sends your order? Do they then call your name out? When I ordered at the register I stood there as they brought my food out. They didn't take another order until I had it all.
My friend's dad would always offer to take us to lunch "at the club." The club, of course, meant Costco!!
The last time I was there I asked if they could put the gelato cone in a cup instead. Genius! Why hadn't I thought of that sooner?? I never got gelato because there was no way I could wrangle a baby and an ice cream cone and a giant cart of Costco stuff.

No. They print you a receipt that you take to the food court. The food court only takes cash, so this lets you pay for your food court order with your card instead of two transactions.
And you can get a whole pizza from there too, and they're good. Costco is our cheap date night. We go there so often that we are on a first name basis with one of the greeters.
The frozen ones aren't the same as the ones from the concession stand. I don't think they are as good and they are definitely smaller. They are similar to other frozen pizzas (good ones), so for only $2.50 each I still buy them since they are about half the price. I buy the cheese and then dress them up with different toppings.
The take-and-bake ones in the refrigerated section are decent, but really, I usually just order a pizza from the concession stand to go since their ovens get a lot hotter than a home oven. It makes the crust better and it's less work for me (I don't like having to store that huge raw pizza in the fridge so I would cook it right away anyway).

The hot dog is part of a combo...$1.50 including a drink.
At our Costco, you can now pay at the concession with a CC so no need to order when you check out with your other stuff. And there is no separate pick up window, although some people who just ordered whole pizzas do walk to the front if they see it's ready. So paying at the regular registers was, in the past, only a way to use a cc instead of cash and means nothing now that you can use a cc right at the concession. Seems those things may differ from location to location, based on this thread.
My kids LOVE the 4 pack of pizzas. There was a vendor at our location once offering samples of the more gourmet pizzas (I forget the brand name), and he told me that his company also makes the plain frozen pies sold under the Kirkland name.
Hey, did Costco stop selling organic ground beef? I didn't see it this weekend.
There could be a supply issue in your area. I've still seen it, but sometimes products will disappear for a while if Costco can't get the necessary supply.
Beef prices have been rising lately, so maybe the buyers for your region couldn't get an acceptable price.
So I wouldn't lose hope. Just keep checking.
(This has happened with our favorite bourbon. Apparently its popularity has grown, so occasionally when we go, Costco is out. But then they'll get it back three weeks later.)

I remember I once read a list online somewhere for "great cheap dates" and they suggested trolling the Costco free samples at 11 AM on a Saturday. I LOL every time I go to Costco because I think of that.
My dad calls it a poor man's lunch, lol. The best day to go is the Saturday before Super Bowl Sunday! They sample all the goods!
We get hot dogs, soda, and churros every time we go to Costco. $5 for two of us!
Incidentally, the first meal we ate on our honeymoon was hot dogs, soda, and churros at the Costco on Maui, so we think about that every time we eat there.

I never bought pizza at the concession stand, but the Costco deep dish take and bake pizzas are great.
I had the turkey pesto sandwich earlier this week for the first time. It is REALLY good! I'm sure it's a zillion calories, but soooo delicious.
This is my favorite!
DD loves to go to Costco for "pastries." She knows what pastries really are, but she thinks it's funny to call the samples that. Cheap kid entertainment, lol.
ETA: I had a friend who didn't realize the hot dog included the drink for the longest time. She would order a hot dog AND drink and end up with 2 cups. She thought the extra cup was to hold the hot dog!

I haven't seen it at my store recently, but I did notice a coupon for frozen organic beef in their most recent mailer, so if you don't mind getting it frozen, it's available online.

I had no idea you could order food off of their website!

I buy the 4 packs of Costco pizzas all the time. They're good for $2.50. We have pizza and movie night once a week, and I can't make pizza that cheap. It's infinitely better than any other cheap pizzas I've tried.

the register that is inside the Costco warehouse (not the register at the concession stand)
your order will get sent to the concession stand from their POS system. When you go to the pick up window, just present your receipt
I've also ordered my pizza half pepperoni and half cheese at the regular register, and they were able to punch it in this way
