How to shop at Costco without a membership by Jessica Tyler on Mar 1, 2018, 2:26 PM 
- Costco is known for its bulk products and the huge savings it offers, but it's a members-only store that costs at least $60 a year to join.
- You don't need to have a membership to make use of some of Costco's services, like eye exams and the pharmacy.
- Online shopping sites like Instacart and Google Express have also made it easier to grocery shop at Costco without a membership.
Warehouse clubs like Costco are known for their huge savings and the insane variety of items you can buy in bulk there.
To get access to all of the savings, you typically need to become a Costco member. The annual fee is $60 for Gold Star or Business memberships and $120 for each of the two Executive plans, which include extra benefits like 2% back on purchases and additional savings. But there are ways to get around spending that extra $60 or $120 per year, like using a "Costco cash card," buying non-member items like alcohol, or eating at the food court. Keep reading to find out more ways to shop at Costco without a membership: Use Instacart.  Grocery delivery services like Instacart make it easy to shop at Costco without a membership. The first order through it is free, and each shipment is a flat $5.99 after that.
Shop through Google Express.  Google Express is very similar to Instacart, but it offers free delivery if you spend over $35. You don't need a Costco membership to use either grocery delivery service.
Go with a member.  Members are allowed to bring up to two non-member guests with them when they go to Costco. However, only members can make purchases, so you'll have to pay them back for whatever you buy on your trip.
