Introduction
If you’re a Costco shopper, you may want to brace yourself for some bad news. The beloved warehouse store is raising the price of one of its most popular items soon. While it’s never fun to hear that prices are going up, it’s important to know what you’re getting for your money. In this article, we’ll take a look at the item in question and provide some tips on how to make sure you’re getting the most bang for your buck.
Costco Is Raising the Price of Another Beloved Item Soon — Eat This Not That
Costco shoppers, brace yourselves: the beloved warehouse store is raising the price of another beloved item. According to a recent report, the price of rotisserie chicken is set to increase by $2.99, bringing the total cost to $4.99.
The news comes as a shock to many Costco shoppers, who have come to rely on the store’s low prices for their weekly grocery needs. The rotisserie chicken has long been a staple of the store, and the price increase could be a major blow to shoppers’ budgets.
The price increase is due to a number of factors, including rising costs of production and transportation. Additionally, the store is facing increased competition from other retailers, such as Walmart and Target, who are offering similar products at lower prices.
Fortunately, there are still ways to save money on rotisserie chicken. For example, shoppers can buy a whole chicken and roast it themselves, which can save up to $2.99 per bird. Additionally, shoppers can look for sales and discounts on rotisserie chicken, which can help offset the price increase.
At the end of the day, the price increase is a reminder that shoppers should always be on the lookout for ways to save money. By being mindful of sales and discounts, shoppers can still enjoy the convenience of rotisserie chicken without breaking the bank.
Costco members have been seeing many items at their favorite warehouse creep up in price lately. While they may have thought the food court was untouchable to inflation, both the beloved chicken bake and 20-ounce Pepsi have seen the cost on their tags bump up. Unfortunately, these aren’t going to be the last Costco products to get hit with a price hike.
For those that may be getting married soon (and need to send out a ton of mailed invites) or those that just prefer the old-fashioned method of sending a note, this latest cost increase might hit harder. That’s because the price of Forever Stamps just raised from $0.58 to $0.60 per stamp in the U.S. and Costco members will notice this in the warehouse and online soon.
The increase in price was approved by the Postal Service and went into effect across the U.S on July 10, due to a 6.5% inflation rate. Costco carries the USPS First-Class Forever Stamp in five booklets of 100 stamps for $57.75 and intends to honor the former member price through August 28, so if you’re interested in securing your postage rate you should act fast before it increases.
Currently, the Forever Stamps are labeled as sold out online. However, they may be available in-store at select locations for the pre-price hike cost.
Forever Stamps are commemorative sticker stamps that never lose their value, meaning it doesn’t matter when you purchase the stamps, they’ll never expire. They were first issued in 2007 and cost $0.41 but have steadily increased in price since.

Members weren’t very happy when the fan-favorite chicken bake from the food court went from $2.99 to $3.99. And over in the bakery section, the beloved Kirkland croissants and muffins were each reluctantly raised by $1.00. However, there have been many products that are not immune to being affected by inflation. Items like water, bacon, and beef have made grocery receipts creep up–even at Costco.
