Can I shop at Costco without a membership?

Costco's policy states that a membership is generally required to shop at their warehouses. However, there are a few exceptions that allow non-members to purchase items. For instance, non-members can buy groceries at Costco’s food court, and they can also shop online through Costco's website, limited to certain items, but they may incur a surcharge for this service. Furthermore, individuals can accompany a member to the warehouse, as non-members can enter when accompanied by a member who can make purchases on their behalf. It is also worth noting that certain states allow non-members to buy prescription medications and other health-related items.
