From Yahoo — There’s a lot to love about Costco. We can stock up on healthy gluten-free foods to make weeknight cooking a breeze (hello, everything bagel cod), fill our cars up with gas, and load our fridge with our favorite Starbucks ready-to-drink items. But one of the best things about Costco is that for the longest time, even if you weren’t a member (or just hadn’t gotten around to renewing yours yet), you could stop at the food court to get a hot dog and a soda for $1.50, one of the cheapest lunch deals around. Well apparently, that’s all about to change — it’s rumored that beginning this March, only those with an active Costco membership will be allowed to buy food from the food court.
