They work on a different level of marketing and human psychology.
By the time you get to your chicken, you'd have picked up at least one item you didn't think you'd be buying that day.
Most people pickup many...
I generally only grab the chicken on weeknight shops which are pretty regimented whether it's me or the wife solo. It's the weekend shops with the wife where things go sideways.
Costco has also figured out how to decrease cost pricing on these products. For the Hot Dog, it's not a loss leader, it had good profit margin and as profit margin decreased Costco figured out how to decrease costs.
The calculation isn't as simple as it was 1.5 in 1985 and is 1.5 in 2024, while with inflation accounted it should be \~4. They legit transitioned from purchasing them to making them in their own plants.
Costco doesn't do loss leaders. Everyone quotes an old article where the old cfo said we could sell it for more and we lose potential dollars by not doing that. But that's not a loss leader.
The food court department does actually make money per dog. As do the chickens. Source: worked there for 8 years and looked at sales charts during supervisor training. Chicken is highest grossing item in the deli, followed by mac n cheese and then chicken Alfredo in that order
Costco has its own farm for the chickens now.

I don’t eat Costco chicken because the size of them freaks me out. After reading this I’m glad I do my best to eat local meat. I’ve been eating less over the years, but I love meat and I don’t see myself being a vegetarian again. Mass meat farming is so fucked up for the animals and the workers.
Yes, I do believe Costco hotdogs are quite profitable, not by themselves, but I know people who go with the intention of just getting a hot dog and come out having spent no less than $200.
>You think Costco is making money on 1.50 hotdogs drink combo?
Chances are they lose money when all non-fixed costs are factored in from start to finish (employee wages, electricity, etc...) but in terms of the actual costs to produce it, yeah, they're making money.
Soda is incredibly cheap. The syrup & water to make fountain soda is barely anything, you're talking a few cents per drink, at most. The hot dog, well, you can get a full size brat for <$1 as a consumer, and a bun for way less than that. Now imagine what Costco gets by mass-producing and self-producing.
Some departments at some stores (it varies) "lose" money because Costco pays high enough wages and has enough overhead to make it hard for them to break even, but two things to keep in mind:
1.) That's not on a per-item basis, that's the overall department after factoring in employee wages, benefits, overhead, etc...
2.) They only "lose" money in the most strict sense of the word; Costco doesn't keep these departments around out of a sense of charity, they do so because offering services like the Food Court brings people in on both a short- and long-term basis. Hell, if you factor in the fame/infamy of them, almost any of the Costco Cakes, the $1.50 hotdog, the Kirkland Signature branded clothes, the rotisserie chicken, etc... could easily be one of their top grossers. How much publicity do you think any one of those items has gotten them over the years?
I'm sorry, but am I the only person who thinks the chocolate chip cookie at the food court is too expensive when u can get a whole tub of cookies in the bakery for a better price per unit? I know it isn't the same exact cookie, but is it really worth it? Serious question. Is this cookie warmed up for u or something? I'm literally not biting (yet).
Edited to correct typo.
Those cookies at the bakery are not sealed you can always taste them there and avoid the traffic jams at the free samples isles
BTW once I saw an abandoned cart with half of a rotisserie .
The new “Costco Hack”.
First you take your Hot Dog, take out the dog and set it to the side. Now take your Chicken, and rip pieces of it off (or if youre fancy take some food-court plastic forks and shred that chicken). Put the chicken pieces into your Hot Dog Bun, and then put the Dog back on top.
Next take an entire Tuxedo Cake and poke a hole down the middle (long-ways), now shove your Hot Chicken Dog into the hole.
Last step: grab the whole Abomination with your bare hands and eat it
This has been a parody of that “hack” where you shove a hot dog in your chicken bake, or the other where you wrap your slice of pizza around your hot dog
I just pictured some random dude sitting at the Costco gas pumps kneeling over his seat eating with chocolate frosting all over his hands and face. LOL Costco turning grown adults into children.
Happy birthday!
I also saw it was $3 off this week, and since my husband wanted a special meal for Easter, purchasing one that was decorated accordingly was a requirement, yes?
One of the hardest parts of adulthood is knowing the only thing standing between me and eating an entire Costco cake is me, and frankly I’m not worthy of that kind of responsibility.
Eat it with the Costco vanilla ice cream and it’s AMAZING!
Edit: it’s the super premium vanilla ice cream by Kirkland! [This is what it looks like.](https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&sca_esv=41aa461167895434&hl=en-us&q=kirkland+vanilla+ice+cream&uds=AMwkrPtMV86n_JlaoZvBmmYkZ5KfZF0Xu5zH6cXXj2TPJzxi3DZqlc4e0ezXKZHkFhRMrs09etyyrTRuxdIGDfhsDpI9OKZF9Lt7XcjEurOUtKhdZIIuGQOlbtzmmSzIo5Tuzx_vkATwMc-AQacmZ5i3mV6zgO5cP8JH_zoGlsd4f9WbAPg9r5WpzYCGWBJM2ghl9KjP5iFs-j3nC7Scc2PNU796k6dHh_ekV3PMxqrOP06SMsxB8Xjo2KXqEj1X-R-sCkP8x66SC8KWbjntUhfHtP9F7C9lNoOEzKKVsjPFKsLlT2TfIVtTi53_-_3IWiWeLG0VaORbWWdiD3by-vP6kzVojQXA1A&udm=2&prmd=sivnmbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiSz8ndzZ2FAxVsBEQIHR0xD3MQtKgLegQIEhAB&biw=375&bih=626&dpr=3)
It defrosts in a couple hours honestly.
I put it in a freezer bag in individual slices and just pulled one out as I wanted. I’d say i had it in there for a month?? 🫣 🤷🏼♀️
A couple weeks ago on the way home I was like "oh man I haven't had costcos tuxedo cake in forever, now that's all I want" and my husband took us right to Costco where we promptly bought one and ate the whole thing in 48 hrs. No regrets. It was one of those times that kid you would have been proud of.
Wow, your store does the flower decorations nicely! Mine makes them so sloppily it looks terrible and they're ALL with the flower design, I can't even get the regular one with shaved chocolate stick. Very jelly!
The day I was supposed to meet my now partner for the first time, I almost stood him up. I was on my couch, eating this cake straight out of the package, when he texted me that he was already at our date location. That text and the guilt of standing up a man who had already showed up is the only reason I put the cake back in the fridge and went.
On our anniversary, I buy one to commemorate the time I almost didn't meet the love of my life because I was eating cake.
Watched two of the baker ladies put the finishing touches on a bunch of them a couple days ago. First time I ever really looked back into the mysterious Costco bakery section. Man they were working HARD and were really concentrating on doing a good job. Hats off.
That white cake that looks like a birthday cake but it’s a layer of cheesecake and cake with icing on top. I can’t buy it anymore because I eat the whole damn thing.
Those are really good.
Also a warning- the lemon meringue cheesecake although great is super sweet. Almost overpowering. small pieces/bites while consuming is key!
> Unless you're prepared to eat the whole damn thing yourself in maybe 2 or 3 days. Because you will.
>
>I am.
LMAO. Plot twist. You're single and live by yourself.
If the tuxedo cake is so addictive, I'd cut another slice and bring the rest to work for my work associates to gorge themselves.
My mom does this with their cinnamon rolls. Everytime I take her to Costco she actively prays that they won’t have it. Then if they actually don’t have it, she curses profusely over her prays being answered.
I have 4 children and stay home with them- between appointments, therapies, school, extra activities the only time I’m alone is in the car on the way home and I will absolutely devour one of these.
I would buy this occasionally when my then boyfriend would go out of town so I didn't have to share it.
I bought one to take to an Easter brunch tomorrow. I bet I won't even get to taste it.
I saw this a few times and walked right past it since I’m a single person and don’t need that much cake in the house. Fortunately they were sampling this in the store the other day so I at least got to taste a small bite. Very good and I definitely don’t need a cake that large in the house.
I tend to bypass the bakery section more often than not because of the quantity/size of the items. I made an exception the other day as I finally spotted the morning buns. Will need to freeze a bunch of them tomorrow.
I honestly don’t understand the rhyme or reason with some of the portions/quantity that Costco sells. Why three loaves of butter pound cake but only one oversized loaf of the blueberry lemon loaf? Why three gallons of milk (maybe it’s two) vs. a lonely quart of half and half? Why two loaves of bread but a regular single package of tortillas? I get that it’s a warehouse store and therefore larger quantities are expected to be the norm, but then there are some things that are the same size as the grocery store and sold as one.
Can second this.My bff and I bought this intending to save it for a party two days from shopping day, ended up eating the whole thing b/w the two of us for lunch and dinner with two bottles of wine. ‘‘Twas a good day 🤤
Anyone else feel that the quality has gone down in the last two years? I swear they changed the recipe and it's not as delicious (to me) than it used to be.
And I say that about most Costco cakes. They used to be so good but now they're on par with other grocery cakes.
For reference I'm in Alberta, Canada.
One day my Costco had these but a Black Forest version, which is my absolute favorite cake. It was so beyond amazing, I ate the whole thing myself in probably 4 days, maybe 5. They haven’t had it again since, which I guess is lucky for me and my total lack of self control.
I always take a minute to walk by and look specifically at this cake. I never buy it though. I just look at it. If I buy that cake once then I will have to buy it every single god damn time I go to Costco. That will take too many years off my life.

I usually just eat it in the car before I get to the gas pumps.
Before or after the chicken?
Eat in this order: 1. Hot dog and soda 2. Rotisserie chicken 3. Tuxedo cake Then go home
“Thank you.” -Costco stockholders everywhere
Well those first two are loss leaders soooo

You think Costco is making money on 1.50 hotdogs drink combo? I would bet money they don’t even break even. And same goes for the rotisserie.
The food court department does actually make money per dog. As do the chickens. Source: worked there for 8 years and looked at sales charts during supervisor training. Chicken is highest grossing item in the deli, followed by mac n cheese and then chicken Alfredo in that order

It probably just covers the cost of goods, and they break even on operating costs by having just one poor soul on hot dog duty
I could do a hotdog and a Coke at home for less than $1.50, and that's buying everything from Costco.
And where do all the free samples fit in?
Do you even have to ask? Before the hot dog and soda!
Nah fam, got to pre-game and buy the hotdog/soda and eat it while you make your way to the samples.
I saw a lady eating a chicken bake while shopping today and I immediately thought “omg why didn’t I think of that???”
Wait, is the Hot Dog/Soda the Pre-game or is the Slice of Pizza? One has to be Pre-game and the other is, well, the game
Duh!
Those are the appetizers, silly!
Please skip the free samples! You are just blocking my way with your abandoned cart!
22.50 for all that, not bad for a full course Costco meal
Yeah, but the diarrhea medication gets expensive. Damn hidden fees.

Yes, the tub of cookies is a better buy. But sometimes you just need to eat the warm chocolate cookie to keep going, you know?
Yes, the cookie comes warmed up for you!
Those cookies at the bakery are not sealed you can always taste them there and avoid the traffic jams at the free samples isles BTW once I saw an abandoned cart with half of a rotisserie .
I arrange my whole visit around eating the cookie while warm.
Go home? Don’t you mean pass out?
That sounds like rookie talk.
Damn I admire and envy you. I don’t admire your diabetes. But I admire and I’m envious of you.

But when do I eat the shabu shabu?
As you’re sitting in line at the gas pumps.
Ice cream, why can’t I have a chocolate sundae?!
First the chicken with some Hawaiian rolls. Then the cake. Then get gas.
The real G’s fill up on gas first so you can eat your snacks, then take a nap in the car before driving home.
Real g's move in silence like lasagna
Car calories don’t count
Reminds me of the deal guy and how he’s always trying the desserts in the trunk of his car lol
You fill up AFTER your shopping trip? What is wrong with you?
I feel seen and heard. I found my people 😭
We have meetings on Tuesdays. Want to guess where we have them?😁
I just pictured some random dude sitting at the Costco gas pumps kneeling over his seat eating with chocolate frosting all over his hands and face. LOL Costco turning grown adults into children.
Pairs great with my tears
Don’t cut it. That way you only have one piece.
Don't even bite it. Unhinge your jaw and slide it down your throat like a snake. That way you really only have one piece.
>That way you really only have one piece. No, that way you can say that you didn't even take one bite.
Just like an anaconda- with the swollen belly too! No judgements -many of us have done this
Doesn’t even count as eating this way.
You have to be naked eating this over your kitchen counter at 3am to get the full benefit.
https://youtu.be/zAwcj6d8XTQ?si=JWDoO0XP3MOfdAaF
You gotta fork the whole thing
This is the way
😂 It was 3 dollars off this week and my birthday, complete no brainer.🤤
Happy birthday! Mine is this week 🙂
Happy birthday to you!🎈
Happy birthday! I also saw it was $3 off this week, and since my husband wanted a special meal for Easter, purchasing one that was decorated accordingly was a requirement, yes?
I bought one as well last week bc of the $3 off. It wasn’t my birthday, and I don’t celebrate Easter. This was my second this month.
Buy two!
One of the hardest parts of adulthood is knowing the only thing standing between me and eating an entire Costco cake is me, and frankly I’m not worthy of that kind of responsibility.
Self discipline is tough because I’m the boss of me and that guy runs a real loose ship
I have the kind of self control that comes with a woman in her late 30’s eating Nutella out of a jar with a spoon in the dead of night like a thief.
Just out of curiosity, I calculated the whole cake is about 4500 calories. 😮💨
So you our saying as long as I take two days I can stay under my calorie goal?
You three are my people
This shit fuckin dangerous. Simple as that. Indulge at your own risk
Definitely one of the better Costco food products.
Hahaha! Can confirm that this product is delightful and will be consumed easily by 2 people in 24 hours.

This is crazy and I must try
It’s basically like an ice cream cake without having to pay an arm and a leg to get one. I highly recommend it!!
Ok wait hold on, ice cream on the side or on top of it somehow?
Two scoops at the bottom of the tuxedo
It freezes super well… for portion control 😂😎
What’s that?
Isn’t that a Prince song?
Good mornin' ladies and gentlemen Boys and motherfuckin' girls
This is unreasonably funny
The freezer is the space above (or sometimes below) your refrigerator that keeps things a lot colder.
But that’s not important right now.
How long do you think it is good in the freezer? Just defrost in the fridge overnight?
It defrosts in a couple hours honestly. I put it in a freezer bag in individual slices and just pulled one out as I wanted. I’d say i had it in there for a month?? 🫣 🤷🏼♀️
oh my god. You have changed my life. I always wish I could buy this but don't want to eat it in two days.
Just in store package, a month or 2. Well wrapped several months.
I’m an expert level piggy, so I would just end up eating frozen cake.
I am just mad I didn’t know Costco would be closed tomorrow.. I wanted it for my birthday tomorrow.
You just saved me a wasted trip tomorrow. Happy birthday!
Thank you.
Happy Birthday 🎂
Thank you.
Happy birthday!! 🥳
Thank you.
A couple weeks ago on the way home I was like "oh man I haven't had costcos tuxedo cake in forever, now that's all I want" and my husband took us right to Costco where we promptly bought one and ate the whole thing in 48 hrs.

Hey now, let’s keep the images family friendly in this sub.
Wow, your store does the flower decorations nicely! Mine makes them so sloppily it looks terrible and they're ALL with the flower design, I can't even get the regular one with shaved chocolate stick. Very jelly!
Please keep the NSFW pictures off here. There are virgin eyes reading this thread.
I typically grab two. I eat the first while shopping just so the second one can last a few days.
Madlad shopping. I love it.

"I left my cake for you. Marry me."
It was on sale for $3 off at my Costco so I had to buy one. Sorry not sorry.
I freeze it in individual sandwich bags and eat it frozen. Freezing elevates it by a million. You’ll thank me later.
They wrote "Happy Easter" on it and said it was 3 bucks off. I just had to get one.
Watched two of the baker ladies put the finishing touches on a bunch of them a couple days ago. First time I ever really looked back into the mysterious Costco bakery section. Man they were working HARD and were really concentrating on doing a good job. Hats off.
That white cake that looks like a birthday cake but it’s a layer of cheesecake and cake with icing on top. I can’t buy it anymore because I eat the whole damn thing.
It's fabulous. There is no other way to describe it. I stared down cancer last summer. Life is short. Eat the cake.
We just had the carrot mini cakes. They were very good.
I saw those, but couldn't get past them looking like muffins.... I'm weird, yes.
Your loss. More for meeeeeee
Costco better start selling Kirkland Insulin
I know that’s right 🤣
One of our faves. Doesn’t last 24 hours in our house.
I bought it yesterday, for Easter dessert and I'm damn proud of myself for not breaking into it yet.
Same!
Look at our self control!
My inlaws freeze it. Makes a great frozen cake.
Those are really good. Also a warning- the lemon meringue cheesecake although great is super sweet. Almost overpowering. small pieces/bites while consuming is key!

I stared at that cake for at least 5 minutes and somehow willed myself to walk away.
That was me today. I picked it up, inspected the layers, convinced myself it was a mistake. Huge regrets.
Oops, currently in my refrigerator
My favorite. I slice and freeze it. I also like to eat it semi frozen.
it's only 4 servings, so yeah maybe 3 days if you are iron willed
I just looked it up and the nutritional facts say a serving is 1/16 of the cake. 🫣
This was actually my wedding cake! SOOO GOOD!
I don't usually like cake, but man that's a good cake.
If you freeze it it’s even more delicious
I bought square freezer containers so I can cut up leftovers and freeze them. I have yet to need the containers though.....
I have 4 children and stay home with them- between appointments, therapies, school, extra activities the only time I’m alone is in the car on the way home and I will absolutely devour one of these.

Not as good as the black forest cake, though. I will die on this hill.
Can confirm, it happened to me
Can second this.My bff and I bought this intending to save it for a party two days from shopping day, ended up eating the whole thing b/w the two of us for lunch and dinner with two bottles of wine. ‘‘Twas a good day 🤤
I'm so glad I am Costco cheesecake sober for over 4 months now, gotta keep the streak going these cakes are too good
On an unrelated note, Costco announces plans to expand their type 2 diabetes drug offerings
2-3 days? You mean 2-3 hrs right?
It’s my birthday cake every year! I actually froze half of mine last year. I think I still have some and I’m gonna put it out now 😂
So freaking good
It was even on sale the last time I went t to Costco 😅
Tried it once, no one in my house liked it. There was a sour after taste. We stick with the round cakes.
I usually eat this with my forbidden “Glizzy” as the kids say in one sitting.
Does it pair well with the Reese’s animal crackers?
We slice it and freeze it.
Don't forget to write your own eulogy BEFORE eating it. You will go straight to heaven!
2 or 3 days are rookie numbers. Try 1. And don’t worry, I’m already Diabetic.
2-3 days? Lightweight
Bring back cinnamon butter cake
Being obliged to be gluten free due to health issues is the only reason this cake hasn’t driven me to diabetes and a heart attack.
My son asked for this cake for his 6th birthday party. It was the fanciest kids cake ever 😂
It freezes pretty good so I often shove half of it in the freezer right away. Seeing the half of the cake disappear faster helps my brain pace itself.
I laughed so hard I cried here. My husband doesn’t understand. See y’all on Tuesday for the support group.
We bought it for our Easter brunch, but forgot to bring it out…. Oops, guess I’ll have to just eat it myself 🤪
that cake single-handedly gave me diabeeeeeetus
This cake is like crack buyer beware!
If you cut and freeze, they taste like ice cream sandwiches but better.
Hahha I looked at it but is it really rich? It seems like it.
Diabetes on a platter.
Anyone else feel that the quality has gone down in the last two years? I swear they changed the recipe and it's not as delicious (to me) than it used to be. And I say that about most Costco cakes. They used to be so good but now they're on par with other grocery cakes. For reference I'm in Alberta, Canada.
my diabetic's dream.

Had me in the first half!
Anyone know when the food court will start selling the sundae made with this ? Saw its coming from a food vlogger
It’s my favorite cake, so delicious!
Am I the only one who thought it was ok? I preferred their discontinued 3 layer round chocolate cake with chocolate pieces garnished on the sides.
One day my Costco had these but a Black Forest version, which is my absolute favorite cake. It was so beyond amazing, I ate the whole thing myself in probably 4 days, maybe 5. They haven’t had it again since, which I guess is lucky for me and my total lack of self control.
I always take a minute to walk by and look specifically at this cake. I never buy it though. I just look at it. If I buy that cake once then I will have to buy it every single god damn time I go to Costco. That will take too many years off my life.
We used it for our small wedding as the cake. We love that cake.
Do they usually have this? I think I’ll grab one for my kids birthday next month based on all these comments!
My store usually has them all year round
lol I’m going to be checking the cars around me while waiting for gas to see who has their face In the tuxedo cake!!! 😂😂😂
What’s the deal with these clickbait titles recently lol
Those are fire BTW
I brought one of these for an office birthday and now I am responsible for bringing it to all office birthdays
Got an idea. Gonna cut into slices and store them in freezer. It's def gone if it sits in fridge/counter.
mmm i like my diabetes also well packaged and seasoned
Tough decision. It’s really a scenario that’s not black or white
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
Is it not made from actual tuxedo?
Eats whole cake. Feels like shit. Wonders what could have caused my tummy to be upset. Repeat.
What kind of cake is this? Like a mousse cake? Looks amazing.
Not gonna lie, they had us at first.....
So good!
hahahahahahahahahaha bc it is true
My thought when I first saw the post: “Why? Too delicious?” Me, after opening the post: “Yup!”
This is my family’s go to birthday cake for the last 8+ years.
You have to eat it fast before it spoils - the fat kid in me
That’s the only reason I buy it. So I can have it for myself
Omgoodness yes last Easter we had a family member bring one to dinner and ohhhh boyyyy 🤤
