Costco Pharmacy: No Membership Required

POSTED BY
Bryan

It’s not normally “our deal” to post any medically-related savings or promos, but we found a “secret” we just couldn’t keep to ourselves. Anyone can use Costco‘s Pharmacy with no membership required. We called the corporate office and it’s true. You can flash your prescription to the checker at the entrance (or just tell them you’re going to the pharmacy) and you’re in. Note: Without a Costco membership, you can only use the pharmacy or buy liquor, if the store carries any — no other purchases allowed. Like most warehouse stores, Costco offers excellent deals on prescription prices. They also accept most insurance plans.

  1. I’ve also been told if you have a Costco giftcard you don’t need a membership to shop there either. Since I have a membership I have not needed to try it but heard from people who have it’s true!

  2. Renee, I’ve been told that too. I know that my Mom used to use Costco gift cards to buy gas when she didn’t have a membership. But like you I haven’t tested this. I’m lucky in that I live so close to a Costco that it makes sense to have a basic membership because I do save so much on the gasoline and now that they accept Visa instead of American Express, the store is much easier to use. – Laura

  3. The Costco pharmacy is also great for pet prescriptions. It’s not worth it for just a round of antibiotics but if your pet takes major ongoing meds, have your vet write a 3 month prescription and take it to Costco. I saved a bucket of money on my dog’s heart meds. You will have to sign as responsible parent because your pet is underage. ; ) —Kim
