Do you still need to be a member to shop at Costco?

Yes, but if you get the executive membership, every year you get 2% back of all of your purchases, so it can pay for itself if you shop there enough

Yes.

Yes of course! You can use the pharmacy without being a member but that is all

Yes sir .. but you get some money every membership year end

Unfortunately you do. They charge beçause they are a Warehouse/ Whole Sale store and in order for them to make money and pass along the savings to you the customer they charge you for membership.
