As a retiree, you might be looking to hibernate all winter. That means it’s time to stock up at Target now, so you don’t have to shop when it’s cold outside. Better yet, you can stock up without having to break your budget.
From cozy items to pantry essentials, preparing for winter requires careful planning. Here’s a look at nine affordable items middle-class retirees need to buy at Target before winter.
Progresso Rich & Hearty Chicken & Homestyle Noodles Soup
- Price: $1.99
You can’t go wrong with a can — or several — of Progresso chicken and homestyle noodles soup. Heat it up on a chilly day or save it in case you come down with a winter cold.
Up&Up AA Batteries
- Price: Starting at $7.99
Running out of batteries is never ideal — especially when the weather outside is frightful. Get a 10-pack of Up&Up AA batteries — or more — so you’re prepared for emergencies like power outages and smaller crises like a TV remote in need of a battery refresh.
Threshold Ultra-Soft Flannel Sheet Set
- Price: $35.00 to $65.00
Make your bed a warm and cozy oasis with this Threshold flannel sheet set. It’s offered in navy, white and gray in sizes twin through king. Sleeping in might become a winter indulgence since you no longer have to get up for work in retirement.
Threshold LED Flameless Black Wick Candles
- Price: $35.00
Don’t get stuck in the dark if the power goes out. This four-pack of Threshold LED flameless black wick candles can serve as a safer alternative to the real thing, as you won’t have to worry about falling asleep with them on.
Up&Up Daytime and Nighttime Severe Cold and Flu
- Price: $7.99
It can be hard to navigate the winter season without getting a cold or the flu at least once. Stock up on Up&Up daytime and nighttime severe cold and flu now, because you probably won’t feel like going to the store if you get sick.
Duck Double Draft Seal
- Price: $17.49
Keep the cold air from coming in through leaky doors and windows with Duck double draft seal. They’re designed for use on interior and exterior surfaces. Simply cut these machine-washable inserts to fit your space.
First Alert CO400 Carbon Monoxide Detector
- Price: $19.99
In cold climates, carbon monoxide poisoning happens most frequently in the winter, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. If you don’t already have a working carbon monoxide detector on each floor of your home, pick up the First Alert CO400 carbon monoxide detector.
Equipped with a loud 85-decibal warning alarm sound, it comes with a five- to seven-year limited warranty.
Auden Amira Genuine Suede Clog Slippers
- Price: $30.00
Keep your feet warm and toasty in these Auden suede clog slippers. Featuring an indoor/outdoor outsole, they have a slip-on design that makes them easy to get on and off — not that you’ll ever want to remove them.
