Can I shop at Costco without a membership?

Asked 2 years ago
Costco has a membership-based model, which typically means that only members can enjoy the full range of shopping benefits, including access to their warehouses and online store. However, there are a few ways one can still shop at Costco without holding a membership. Non-members can shop for prescription medications at Costco pharmacies as well as purchase alcohol in certain provinces where regulations permit. In some instances, a non-member can enter and shop with a member by using their guest privilege. It is important to note that certain limitations may apply, such as restrictions on some products. For those who wish to explore the options available to non-members in greater detail, it is advisable to visit the official Costco Canada website, which may provide further insights on shopping policies and membership benefits.
