cheap eats

If ever you want to have something quick and cheap, COSTCO is the place for you.

For those of you who don't know about COSTCO, it is a HUGE warehouse store. Catering mostly to stores and restaurants, they sell things in bulk and the sizes of items are also HUGE! They actually have a location in Osaka, but I've been too scared to go there because the portions are so large and we don't have the type of storage space as we do in Hawaii!

For $1.50, you can get either a spicy polish sausage or the regular hot dog PLUS a 20 oz. drink--mostly soda or iced tea--not sure if they had juice type drinks.

There is a little condiments area where you can "crank" out your fixings--catsup, deli style mustard, relish and onions. Be careful--they come out in clumps! I miss the sauerkraut that they used to serve!

On Oahu, there are 3 COSTCO locations:
Waipio
94-1231 Ka Uka Blvd.
Waipahu 96797
Phone: 808-678-6103

Iwilei
525 Alakawa Street
Iwilei 96817
Phone: 808-526-6103

Hawaii Kai
333A Keahole Street
Honolulu 96825
Phone: 808-396-5538

My daughter and son-in-law love the hot dogs and pizza from there. I'll probably have a few dogs when I'm home as they always shop there.

Nate, not the most nutritious, but still comfort food :)

Take care.

I'd never tried it until COSTCO's dogs, Nate, can you believe it?!

Bourgogne, isn't COSTCO's a great place for aisle roaming?

Take care you two.

Going to college in upstate New York, learned to eat hot dogs with sauerkraut and mustard. Delicious!

just want to let you know, you still can get sauerkraut at costco. you have to ask the cashier when you order your food and they will give it to you in a little container. so, next time you can enjoy your hot dog with it on.
