    How much does a bulk purchase cheap-ass hotdog cost. Nothing. It’s cents.

    I’m sure they are still making 75% markup, even on the new 2 dollar.price. before, it was several hundred percent markup.

      Yes and no. Costco hot dogs are 100% vertically integrated and they get the soda basically for free from Pepsi and they still barely break even on them, if they even do anymore. You add in a farm, packer, and a distributor taking their percent and even a lower quality dog is going to be pretty lean on profit at 2USD in 2024
