HOUSTON – “Price drop. Mic drop.”

The previous price was $1.50. The company’s rival, Costco, offers the same combo for $1.50.

“New lower price. Same great hot dog & drink combo,” Sam’s Club said in an advertisement on its website according to CNN. “Frankly, it can’t be beat.”

Sam’s Club, owned by Walmart, reportedly announced the move Tuesday. The chain pointed to the price reduction as an example of ways it offers bargains to shoppers stretched by inflation heading into the holidays, CNN reported.

Sam’s Club and Costco offer low prices on products like its café items, rotisserie chickens and gas as a perk to its members that pull them into physical stores to see its other goods and potentially buy more than just those items during a visit.
