9. Rely on Third-Party Delivery Apps Like Uber Eats

In recent years, Costco has expanded its delivery footprint beyond Instacart by partnering with platforms like Uber Eats. This provides another layer of digital access for non-members. You can order fresh groceries, household essentials, and even health and beauty products directly through the Uber Eats app.

Similar to Instacart, the prices reflected in the app are higher than the prices found on the physical warehouse shelves. However, if you already subscribe to services like Uber One—which waives delivery fees on eligible orders—the overall cost of obtaining Costco items delivered to your door might be lower than you expect. It serves as an excellent emergency option when mobility issues or harsh winter weather keep you indoors.
