Can a person buy a one day pass to buy a few things and check out the store?

I don't think you can buy a one-day pass, but I think you can shop and pay a 5 percent premium for items purchased.

No. Although you can purchase some items from them online and pay a 5% surcharge.

Note that the comment about the pharmacy policy is a requirement of the Florida state law. A state licensed pharmacy is not allowed to charge a membership fee to buy prescription drugs. Sam's Club has the same policy.

Go to the "GROUPON.com" site and look for the COSTCO deal..... I did 2 months ago....I think it was join for $60 and get a $40 gift card. Emailed right away the same day.

This!

Or...

You can have a member buy you a gift card.

Or get a membership and cancel for a full refund if you don't like it.

I think you may have missed the point of my reply. Someone asked if there were any good membership incentives or reduction in annual dues. Also if anyone know of any offers to entice Villages residents ?

I was joining anyway. I just elected to do it for $20 NOT $60

. Interesting. Google Maps says it's 30 miles from my home vs. 55 miles to Orlando Costco yet drive time is only 8 minutes less than Orlando and no Trader Joes nearby! Oh, I am right off of 466A

To answer your question, no $ incentives this one in Clermont is closer and it a LOT lot less congested. Went to the Millenial mall location and it took 20 minutes to get out of parking lot on 11/11(Saturday) and went to new store on following Saturday(11/18) and it took 1 minute to get out of parking lot. Not normal to go so often. We picked up relatives at MCO and were gong down there anyway.

It looks like the opening deal for new members is a $30 digital card, but new members must sign up for auto-renewal to get the deal.
