In high school, the local sub sandwich joint had a $3.95 meatball footlong special once per week.
Now you're paying more than double for half.
This math hurts my soul.

I think you can still buy hot dog and a soft drink at Costco for $1.50

Yes, you can. They're losing money on it. Also they've done a lot to keep that cost so low.
One of the things is that they now no longer allow non-members to buy this deal. Also, they have their own hot-dog factories, and they switched from Coke to Pepsi (Pepsi is cheaper).
