But what's even better is that you actually don't need a membership to shop most of these <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/costco-grocery-flyer-this-week-quebec-nov-25-dec-8-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Costco deals</a> — provided you know how.</p><p>For <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/tag/black-friday" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black Friday 2024</a>, Costco's sale in Quebec includes a wide range of categories, like tech, home improvement, clothing and more, with some of the biggest savings on electronics like TVs, laptops and smart devices. </p><p>While <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/tag/costco" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Costco</a> members can snag deals both in store and online, non-members can actually still shop the vast majority of the online selection with just a small 5% surcharge.
