I've heard you can shop at Costco without a membership if you use a Costco Shop card (i.e., Costco gift card). Or you can go as a guest of a Costco member.
Either way, I'm just letting Costco members know about the current sale, especially for those who do not have an Amazon Prime membership.

My Costco checks/scans your membership card at entrance. And you cannot check out without scanning a membership card

I agree that many Costco warehouses perform checks/scans at the entrance.
I actually don't know what happens if you just tell the greeter that you're a non-member and would like to use your Costco Shop Card. FWIW, Costco's official stance in written language[costco.com] is:
Non-members as well as members may use Costco Shop Cards to shop at any Costco location in the U.S., Canada, or Puerto Rico, as well as online at Costco.com.

FWIW, the Costco Kirkland freezer quart bags are still on sale for 3.8¢ per bag in-warehouse (or 4.6¢ per bag online).
These Amazon Basics ones are 4.7¢ per bag.
