A Consumer Reports survey of generic drug prices found Costco to be the cheapest among more than 200 pharmacies, and prescription medications can be filled at the Costco pharmacy without a membership. Also available to non-members are immunizations such as the flu vaccine.
Non-members can shop on Costco’s website to take advantage of the warehouse club’s bargain prices on certain items. Gift cards, for example, can be purchased at a discount online without a membership — currently, score a $100 iTunes gift card for $84.49. The disadvantage is that non-members may be hit with a 5 percent surcharge on some orders.
The grocery delivery service Instacart will shop Costco on your behalf — even if you don’t have a membership. Consider this nice little loophole for Costco-priced groceries.
Google Express is similar to Instacart, but offers free delivery if you spend over $35. You don’t need a Costco Membership to use either grocery delivery service.
A Costco membership is required to get in the door and into the food court at many Costco locations. Yet if you live in a warmer climate where the food court is outside the store, food can be purchased without membership. Costco is known for serving pizza, hot dogs, and other morsels for less than $5.
Although you can shop Costco without a membership, the $55 fee for a basic Costco membership may be worth the money if you expect to shop at the warehouse club regularly.
