As the end of the year approaches, the leaves turn and the weather dips (well, maybe), you’re likely preparing to spend the colder months in hibernation indoors. However, like the squirrel burying its nuts for the winter or the bear getting snug and cozy in its den, you’ve got to get ready for winter.Â
If you’re living on a fixed income as a retiree, there are certain home items you have to get to live your best life this winter. GOBankingRates browsed the aisles to find the best items to help you have the coziest winter possible.Â

Commercial Majestic Silver Countertop Popcorn Machine: $289.99
Is there anything better on a cold winter day than just relaxing at home with a movie? No, there’s not. So why not give yourself the full experience with a big comfy chair and big bowl of popcorn — better yet, homemade popcorn. You can add as much butter as you’d like, and nobody at the concession stand will give you the side eye. Grab one at Home Depot now to make your next cold weather movie night just as fun, though far cheaper, than going to the theater.Â
