Interesting enough you can find good tips on YouTube regarding stance, turning back foot as you swing, etc. that can be applied to your game.
I recommend the fit. BUT if you're worried about coin the mizuno fit is free. Most of the time stores charge for it and you don't know the qualifications of the person fitting.
And I'll never poo poo lessons. Even pros take lessons. But wouldn't you want lessons with the right equipment you'll play on all the time rather than the wrong?

Now it is true that some golfers have a physical situation that they're not able to overcome through training or exercise. So yes in that case, those people are going to need every possible advantage.
Also if you've played for years with a particular set then for your next set you need to find one that's as much like your earlier set as possible.

I have a couple of friends who play the Mizurno Hot Metal. They are a very good set of clubs.
Ping has an on-line fitting app on their website, which you can use to check recommended length and lie angle. If you fall into the middle size, then these Mizuno's would be a great option, and fitting will provide only minimal or no benefit.
Plus you can get different configurations at a golf shop. Say you don't want the 4 iron, you can get 5I - GW instead of 4I - PW.
I guess if Costco has a great return policy on golf clubs then yes you would miss out on that.
There was a huge push for fittings about, idk, 7-8 years ago that has maintained its momentum, but getting fitted for clubs is not crucial unless you have no idea where to begin when buying clubs or you have body measurements that are significantly different (pretty much abnormally short or long arms relative to height) than average. At least, it's not crucial for beginners/high-handicappers.
If you want to race in Nascar, is it more important to have an actual race car or is it more important to know how to drive a race car? I think the answer would be the latter.
The answers on this will vary quite a bit, but I'd rather have some kind of consistent and good-ish swing before worrying about clubs being perfectly fit for me. Think about it from the perspective of what will drop the most strokes. If you are anywhere in the ballpark of the right clubs for you (most people are just through basic knowledge), perfectly fit clubs might help you shave off a few strokes per round. Golf lessons are much more likely to take you from the 100s to 90s, or 90s to 80s, etc. Clubs, alone, won't do that.
Fittings aren't crazy expensive but they're not cheap either and rolling fitting costs into a club purchase at retail price isn't saving any money. If money isn't as much of a concern, though, you could get fitted, take lessons, get fitted again.
Being fit for clubs is like being fit for shoes. Sure, you can run in any running shoe, but your stride, pronation, etc. Will make your run more optimized.
That being said, being fit for clubs, will expedite your swing training because it eliminates more variables that an improper shaft, iron type, length, lie, loft, etc. might cause. So you can focus on more technique that you might have been compensating for an improper lie angle for example.
