Dash Waffle Stick Maker
Price: $15.98
Do you love waffles but lack counter space? Looking for a waffle maker you can take when you visit your family? This one makes four sticks at once. Shoppers love how it heats up fast and is easy to clean.
Plus, it works for more than waffles. You can use it for cornbread sticks, grilled cheese, or super cool waffle-shaped cookies. You can make them in advance and have your own homemade frozen toaster waffles.
JACHS NY Men's Overshirt
Price: $14.98
Whether you run hot or live in a warmer climate, sometimes a T-shirt isn't enough, but a jacket feels like too much. This overshirt bridges that gap. It has a soft, brushed texture that reviewers say feels comfortable without being bulky.
Pick your favorite color from the four available choices. You can wear it buttoned up on cool mornings or under a heavier coat when it gets cold. At this price, you may want to consider purchasing it in multiple colors.
Nature's Bounty Immune 24 Hour + Immune Support Softgels, 1,000mg Vitamin C
Price: $19.48
It's nice to have some immune support around the holidays. This features clinically studied Ester-C that stays in white blood cells for 24 hours to supply around-the-clock support rather than a quick spike that fades.
Beyond 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C, you also receive vitamin D, vitamin A, zinc, elderberry, and echinacea, providing natural immune support that works together. The softgels are non-GMO and free from artificial flavors, gluten, and common allergens.

From spiced cider and mulled wine to slow-cooked meats and pies, these are the spices that add warmth and aromatic depth to your winter and holiday meals.
Nordic Ware Sea Glass Blue Measuring Cups and Measuring Spoons Set

They're made in the USA from thick, durable BPA-free plastic that is top-rack dishwasher safe, and they nest for compact storage.

Reviewers say these are larger and taste creamier than other brands. Plus, at Walmart, you only get 36 for $12.47.
Biofreeze Professional Menthol Pain Relief Spray
Price: $19.98
If you've been to the chiropractor or physical therapist for chronic aches or post-workout soreness, you may have seen Biofreeze before. This is the professional-grade pain version, not the regular Biofreeze you see at most drugstores.
Reviewers love that you can spray the bottle upside down (for hard-to-reach places) and say it dries quickly and penetrates for rapid relief.
Member's Mark Organic White Balsamic Vinaigrette
Price: $7.98
When you see organic balsamic salad dressing at 17 cents per ounce, it's hard not to stock up. It's made with organic white balsamic vinegar and fresh basil. Purchasers say it's "not too citrus-y, not too vinegar-y."
Even if you're not a fan of salads, it's a tasty and easy chicken marinade. Just let it sit for at least 30 minutes, then grill or bake for effortless sophistication.
Hudson & Main Cooling Throw Blanket
Price: $16.98
How can a blanket be cooling? One side features cooling fibers that regulate temperature, while the other is made of soft microfiber for traditional warmth. Reviewers who overheat praise how it keeps them comfortable and covered without making them sweat.

If you're still buying expensive K-Cups, you'll love this deal. Sam's Club sells The London Sip French Press for less than Target's $34.95 price tag. It's 1,000 milliliters, which is equivalent to four cups of coffee. Additionally, it features borosilicate glass and a stainless steel filter.

It's microwave- and dishwasher-safe. Multiple customers mention wishing they'd bought two immediately.
Member's Mark Avocado Oil in Plastic Bottle
Price: $11.98
You may have heard that avocado oil has a high smoke point and is healthier than some alternatives, but it is generally more expensive. You can pay over $19 for almost the same-sized bottle at Walmart.
It's got a neutral taste that won't overpower your food. You can stir-fry, pan-fry, grill, and roast to your heart's content without that acrid burnt smell. Reviewers also use it for salad dressings, marinades, and homemade mayonnaise.
Tovolo Ice Mold Set
Price: $15.87
Never grab the wrong glass again with slow-melting sports-themed ice cubes. This set of four molds includes two footballs and two golf balls with detailed imprints that your guests will love.

Bottom line
As we approach the end of the year and the holiday season, many shoppers are being cautious with discretionary spending and looking ahead to the gift-giving season with a sharper focus on essentials. But essentials don't have to mean boring, and scaling back doesn't mean going without.
As we all navigate tighter budgets heading into the holidays, it's easy to feel like being careful means going without. But these discoveries prove that you can save money at Sam's Club.
The small pleasures, such as a better cup of coffee, a cozy blanket, and fresh-baked waffles on Sunday morning, don't have to be the first things to go. Finding quality at prices that make sense means you can savor life's little moments while staying on track with your bigger financial goals.
