Need to restock the home bar, but don’t have a Costco membership? No problem, in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Texas and Vermont. If you’re a resident, you’re welcome to purchase wine, beer and spirits from Costco without a club card.
