While you can still get a slice of pizza for under $2, the cost of several Costco food court items is reportedly going up.
Insider reported Costco increased the cost of its chicken bake from $2.99 to $3.99. The price for a 20-ounce fountain drink increased by a dime to 69 cents.While there have been periods of high inflation in recent decades, the Costco food court has resisted price hikes.
