Frugal Tip: Costco Giftcards can be used in lieu of membership! (slrpnk.net)

If you have a friend with a costco membership, you can ask them to buy you some $25 Costco Shopcards, which you can use at the entrance to get into the store and at checkout to verify you can make a purchase. Anything you have over $25, they'll allow you to use an alternative method of payment to pay for it.

They make you turn in the card at checkout, so it's certainly not worth it if you go more than a handful of times a year, but for those who go less, it's a good way of avoiding the membership fee.

frugal tip: go to Costco with $25 gift card, leave Costco with $300 worth of Christmas decorations, steaks, whatever frozen foods they were sampling, a giant box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch because it was on sale, and vodka.
