Price: $19.98

The holiday season is on, so you deserve a tasty treat to celebrate. With three pounds of roasted almonds and smooth chocolate milk, you're set for the entire month of December.

Not only that, but you also get the same amount and rich taste for $5 less than you would at Costco.

Price: $15.45 (on sale from $18.45)

With 16 bars of soap for less than $16, you can't go any lower for this bathroom essential. The Dove moisturizing soap is gentle on the skin and prevents irritation, especially during winter when dryness becomes a bigger issue.

Shoppers know it: "Dove is definitely the way to go for a good brand of soap, especially a bar that doesn't dry your skin out," writes reviewer kristenw3030.

Price: $8.98 (on sale from $12.98)

These eight 10-ounce individual chicken pot pies turn into quick, homey meals with no extra prep during the busy holiday weeks ahead. Stocking the freezer on sale reduces the need for frequent shopping trips in cold weather.

It also almost halves the $17.44 you'd pay if you bought individual pies at Walmart.

Price: $29.98

At 60 by 70 inches, this throw is generously sized, the perfect companion for reading or relaxing during the colder months. The plaid pattern is seasonal, but not overly festive, and easily matches your decor.

Bonus points, as reviewer Danciemom points out, "This is a perfect snuggle blanket. The fur side is very soft and feels good."

Price: $22.88

This 60-fluid-ounce (1.8-liter) electric kettle quickly brings water to a boil for tea, oatmeal, or soup. It comes with an infuser, so if you're a loose-leaf tea lover, it's a win-win.

It's also a steal compared to Costco's identical model, which sells for $37.99.

Price: $10.98

If you appreciate a bowl of instant oatmeal on cold winter mornings, this Quaker 52-count pack delivers a lower-sugar, heart-friendly breakfast with quick prep, especially if you also buy the Chefman kettle.

With three flavors to choose from, this one's a shopper's favorite. "The apple version is my favorite, and it's so easy to make," claims reviewer Ambene.

Price: $39.98

The Crane humidifier holds one gallon of water, helping ease dry skin, coughing, and congestion — the most common concerns in December. It's quiet, and its filter-free design is low-maintenance.

Pick it up at Sam's Club to avoid paying $30 more for the same model at CVS.

Price: $15.96

If you love Christmas but can't go all-out in your decorating efforts, pick up this three-pack of pine-, spruce-, and fir-scented ornaments to bring holiday cheer and fragrance to your home.

They're easy to add to a wreath or centerpiece, and much more affordable than Walmart's offering of $8.27 per pack or $24.81 for the same amount.

Price: $9.98

Buying cooking spices separately can add up fast, so consider this three-pack bundle of ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. It's perfect for holiday baking and generous enough to cover all your needs this December.

Fellow shoppers love the selection and quality of these spices.

Price: $6.48

With 36 ounces of this holiday staple, cooking Christmas dinners and lunches becomes a breeze. It's handy if you'll be hosting family, but also if you enjoy simple comfort meals throughout the month.

Buying it at Sam's Club is a great idea, since two 12-ounce packs cost $18.27 on sale at Walmart.

Price: $38.35 (on sale from $47.94)

If you decide to invest in one cookware piece, this 9.5-inch enameled cast-iron bread oven is worth it this season. It handles baking, roasting, and even serving at an unbeatable price.

"This baker is beautiful, versatile, and big enough to bake a whole chicken as well," writes satisfied reviewer Grandmama K.

Price: $12.36

There's nothing more enjoyable than a filled croissant for breakfast. These eight ham-and-cheese sandwiches cook from frozen and offer 13 grams of protein.

While you can find these Member's Mark breakfast offerings at Walmart for the same price, shopping at Sam's Club will save you the trip on busy holiday weeks.

Price: $15.98 (on sale from $19.98)

For an easy holiday makeover for your living room, try these two pillows in soft velvet and seasonal colors like green, white, or red. At 22 inches, they provide great back support.

Comparable pillows cost $98 at Anthropologie, so getting this set at Sam's is a no-brainer.

Price: $54.98

Weighted blankets are a must if you can't relax at bedtime, especially during the stressful holiday months. With variable weights ranging between 10 and 20 pounds, this queen-sized blanket also features a removable, easy-to-clean cover.

Shoppers have found it's also calming for their pets, which is a bonus if you have a furry friend.

Price: $15.98 (on sale from $19.98)

The holiday season is also when colds and the flu are at their peak, and the last thing you need is a ruined Christmas. This 72-count Tylenol combo pack offers relief for both daytime and nighttime symptoms.

It would be a shame to be caught unprepared and have to pay roughly $65 for the same amount at CVS.

With Christmas on the horizon, there's no better time to pick up useful, high-value buys at Sam's Club. These 15 selections give you convenience and smart budgeting, helping you stay ahead of the rush.

To save on groceries into December, stock up early to avoid higher prices and get your home ready for a festive time.
