Print out a single day guest pass from Sam's Club's website.
The guest pass allows you to shop at Sam's Club without a membership, but you'll be charged a 10% service fee. California, South Carolina, and Elmsford, NY are exempt from the fee.
Shop at Sam's Club's online store.
Non-members can shop online at samsclub.com, but a 10% service fee is applied unless you live in California, South Carolina, and Elmsford, NY.
Use the grocery delivery service Instacart if you live in Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, or St. Louis.
Currently Sam's Club only offers the same-day delivery service in these three cities, but it plans to expand the program in 2018.
Wait for an "open house" event.
Sam's Club hosts several open house events throughout the year, inviting non-members to shop at the warehouse for the day to try it out.
Buy alcohol.
In some states, alcohol sales can't be prohibited through a club or a membership.
If that's the case in your state, you can tell the Sam's Club attendant you're purchasing a non-member product and be allowed in to buy alcohol.
Use the pharmacy...
Like alcohol, prescription-drug sales can't be limited through a club or a membership, meaning anyone can use the Sam's Club pharmacy to fill prescriptions and buy over-the-counter medication.
...or use the optical center.
Though a membership is needed to buy glasses and hearing aids, nonmembers can get eye and ear exams at the Sam's Club optical and hearing centers.
Eat at the food court.
The food court is open to members and nonmembers — and it's insanely cheap. A large pizza is only $8.99 and fountain sodas are $0.89.
