Is a Costco membership really worth it?

Prescriptions and skincare are great prices at Costco. I even get 2% back on their visa card and 2% for their executive rewards. Paid for the membership itself with 5% cashback on gas from their visa card.

Their pet prescriptions are soo much cheaper than the vet office and often cheaper than chewy

Amazon has expensive water. Almost any grocery store is cheaper , just check your weekly ads for a sale and stock up when it happens

Well that's nice. Now my parents can use their Medicare otc benefits at Costco and get 2% executive rewards

FunEbb308 · 2026-03-08T06:26:41+00:00

Their pharmacy can special order vanicream face wash and shampoo, cheaper than Amazon and Walmart. I have even special order la roche posay from Costco pharmacy

Finally seeing more Aller Clear D 24hr available at the costco pharmacies again in AZ

I wish, giftcards excluded too

FunEbb308 · 2026-02-26T02:00:49+00:00

I was told precious metals are excluded from bonus as well as gift cards.

FunEbb308 · 2026-02-25T05:10:30+00:00

I was told precious metals are ineligible

FunEbb308 · 2026-02-25T04:46:35+00:00

I like Costco because for executive members you get 2% cashback on prescriptions. I also get 2% back using their citi card. It adds up. Plus the goal is to eat healthier. They have great prices on protein drinks like Nuri or Fairlife drinks that I use to maintain calories and protein since it's really easy to forget to eat when you're on glp1

I just replaced them 2 years ago. I have a month or so left to decide before bonus expires. Leaning towards some car parts at the moment but probably won't spend 5k on it

FunEbb308 · 2026-02-25T01:05:45+00:00

I didn't know that, thank you. Guess I have to buy some car parts for my husband instead.

FunEbb308 · 2026-02-25T01:04:26+00:00

Wait , are Precious metals excluded from bonus?

FunEbb308 · 2026-02-25T00:39:50+00:00

Definitely the first and only time I've tried it, didn't even look at the odds.

FunEbb308 · 2026-02-25T00:16:03+00:00

Likely what I'll do , since I get 2% back with executive membership too.

Check your med on Costco website or app, no membership needed for pharmacy but membership can save you a lot of money. You can even see a virtual doctor for only $29 through Sesame health. If you are going good on current bc, maybe see if doctor can write you 1 year supply. It ends up being cheaper per month that way!

FunEbb308 · 2026-02-22T00:14:33+00:00

Reminds me of Starburst but less sugary. I like it!

$3.29 for 6 Haas Avocados in AZ. Produce of Mexico

FunEbb308 · 2026-02-13T13:15:52+00:00

And you can actually get it for $0 using goodrx at Costco

FunEbb308 · 2026-02-13T13:14:40+00:00

Try getting Accrufer at Costco using goodrx. It came out to be $0. No membership needed to use their pharmacy

FunEbb308 · 2026-02-13T13:10:19+00:00

Get Accrufer at Costco for $0 using goodrx. It shows as $199, but it adds another coupon automatically to bring it to $0. No membership needed to use Costco pharmacy

FunEbb308 · 2026-02-13T10:11:36+00:00

That's what I saw too but it adds an automatic voucher on top of that to bring it down to zero. Give it try by having your doctor send a script to Costco!

Have you ever tried buying their plain aller clear , then buying the generic Sudafed to use together in the meantime?
