See Ya, Pepsi! Costco is Now Serving Coke!
Here’s the latest scoop on what’s cookin’ at the Costco food court!
It’s official! All Costco Food Court Pepsi machines have been replaced with Coca-Cola products! Instead of Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, and Mountain Dew at Costco, you now have the option of drinking beverages like Coke, Diet Coke, and Sprite!
Costco will continue to offer its $1.50 hot dog and soda combo, along with other cheap food court eats.
We know many in the Hip community are HUGE fans of Costco, and we have no doubt some of you may have strong opinions on the possible change in beverage companies. Hip2Save’s Paige (the Diet Coke queen 👑), Denise, and Monica are team Coca-Cola. 🥤
Quick reminder: You need a membership to eat at the Costco Food Court.
The Costco food court can be a lifesaver for those on a tight budget! The popular warehouse club offers tons of filling items for under $4, and the Hip team always talks about how much we appreciate these cheap eats.
Unfortunately, back in April 2024, Costco began requiring a membership to use both the indoor and outdoor food courts. Sadly, if you want that $1.50 hot dog and soda combo or the $1.99 giant slice of pizza, you’ll have to fork over cash for a Costco membership. 💵

Yay!
Hallelujah
Not happy. I can get Diet Coke pretty much anywhere. Costco was one of the very few places I could get something other than Coke products. Now the only guaranteed place to get properly carbonated Diet Pepsi is Taco Bell. Sometimes I just want something other than Diet Coke. Fountain Diet Coke tastes nastier than fountain Diet Pepsi when undercarbonated.
I will drink Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, and my favorite Diet Dr Pepper, but only in specific forms.
Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi = fountain
Diet Dr Pepper = can or plastic bottle(preferably bottle)
All three taste absolutely horrendous in other forms.
Pepsi all the way!
