Not A Member? Here’s 9 Ways You Can Still Shop At Costco

You can buy alcohol because it is not limited only to members. Pay attention, there are some locations where the liquor store will have a separate entrance.

All in all, Costco allows alcohol sales to non-members (that are old enough to drink, of course). In theory, it applies throughout the states. If there are any alcohol regulations around the policy, we can’t be sure. But as far as we’re concerned, it is possible to buy alcohol at Costco.

You’ll find there a 24-pack case of pint-size Guinness cans for $23,99 for example, or 1,75 liters of Kirkland brand Canadian whiskey for $20. When you go shopping at Costco, just tell to the door attendant that you’re there to buy alcohol, and they’ll let you in. After that, you can look at anything.

This next one will be an easy pill to swallow…..

    One of the most irritating websites I have ever encountered. Nothing but ads and pop-ups. I’m done!

    Can you shop one day as a guest to see what it is like and if it would really benefit to have a membership?
