You can buy your eggs from Costco which iirc has their own egg operation these days.

Unsure about eggs, but they definitely have their own rotisserie chicken farm and plant.

Story goes that Tyson's chickens were becoming larger and larger and thus Tyson wanted more money.

Costco wants to keep the chicken at $5, so they starter their own plant.

Yes, Tyson chickens are ridiculously large. Whether you are buying them as whole roasters or cut up, they're almost like a small turkey now.

Did they do something similar with the $1.5 hotdogs?

Yes, I think they replaced Hebrew National with their own house brand.

As you probably know the $1.5 hotdog is made possible in part by raising prices on the other menu items.

God bless Costco.

This isn’t really true. Their eggs are purchased from others (same as other Kirkland branding) and the chicken op for rotisserie is only a fraction.

> You can buy your eggs from Costco

If you live near a Costco, you can. The one near me is opening in a week, and I can't wait.
