If you have a friend with a costco membership, you can ask them to buy you some $25 Costco Shopcards, which you can use at the entrance to get into the store and at checkout to verify you can make a purchase. Anything you have over $25, they’ll allow you to use an alternative method of payment to pay for it.

They make you turn in the card at checkout, so it’s certainly not worth it if you go more than a handful of times a year, but for those who go less, it’s a good way of avoiding the membership fee.

    Amazing. So people not only pay them to shop there, they also pay them to not shop there

    That’s a whole new level of gullible 😂

      Dude they have a cafeteria where they sell 1/4lbs hotdogs with a drink for $1.50 nationwide. The membership could honestly be worth for the cafeteria alone

        If you buy that many hot dogs in a year, I strongly urge you to reevaluate your life
