I have a shared membership so cut that $50 cost in half. My friend has a different last names, address, etc and it’s no problem.

I’m pretty sure that you can shop on Costco.com without being a member as well. I got a great deal on an 1080p TV on Costco.com a few years back with free shipping and am not a member.

don’t forget though that non-members must pay an additional 5% on everything they buy except prescriptions.

Right you can load up on booze from Costco, take pictures of the event and have Costco develop the pictures. It’s a true win-win. Tee-hee.

I thought this exception was only for the pharmacy in California. Good to know to I can also buy booze and pictures!

Non-Members can also shop at Costco everyday/any day for use of their Pharmacy, Alcohol and Photo department�s. A membership is not required to shop in those departments. Cool huh � I recently learn this from their membership counter.
