Let’s be honest — winter is a season for good eatin’. From hot chocolate and chicken dinners to savory seasonal veggies, there’s a lot of deliciousness to enjoy.
One way to be able to eat well without making your wallet feel like it has to let out its waistline is buying food in bulk. Whether you’re a master chef in the making, a wannabe “Great British Bake Off” star or you simply prefer to have snacks on hand, you’ll want to keep your pantry stocked.
But how do you stock up without breaking your budget? If you’re a Sam’s Club shopper, then you know you’ll get the goods — or the canned goods — for a great price. GOBankingRates browsed the aisles and loaded up the cart with some of the bulk treats you should look into at Sam’s Club.
Member’s Mark Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
- Price: $7.98
Winter is all about warm, cozy eats — and there’s nothing warmer or cozier than rolled oats. Use them to make oatmeal or bake ’em into cookies and they can help you satisfy your sweet tooth while still getting heart-healthy benefits. They’re also an excellent addition to granola, breads or as smoothie toppers. With this bulk box, you get two 5-pound bags, letting you get a lot of use for a low price.
Member’s Mark Variety Pack Potato Chips
- Price: $13.98
Potato chips are prime snacking, whether you’re rooting for your favorite team or shaking your head at the decisions of that reality show character you love to hate. With this giant box of potato chips (42 1-ounce bags) in sumptuous flavors like classic, barbeque, sour cream and onion, and cheddar and sour cream, you won’t have to worry about taking in the latest drama without forfeiting your snacks.
Pop-Tarts Frosted Strawberry
- Price: $9.98
On the go doesn’t have to be bland — in fact, you can make a quick trip to the store or the carpool so much more flavorful with these strawberry Pop-Tarts. Or you can also sit at your breakfast table and enjoy some childhood nostalgia with your coffee. Regardless of how you enjoy them, with a whopping 48-count box of Pop-Tarts for less than $10, you’ll have them around for a while.
Nature’s Garden Trail Mix Snack Packs
- Price: $9.98
You don’t have to forfeit flavor for health with these trail mix snack packs. They’re perfect for your on-the-go bags or as toppings on a salad. With 24 1.2-ounce packs, you’ll certainly have a lot on hand for whatever you’ve got a craving for.
MoonPie Chocolate Double Decker Pie
- Price: $9.78
Winter can be a time for impromptu dinners or get-togethers. Instead of going for broke — quite literally — with a fancy cake or pie, why not get a little creative with a platter of adorable and chocolaty moon pies? Not only will this option save you money, but it’ll also spare you a big clean-up effort. And with 24 moon pies in a box, odds are, there will be plenty left over for you to enjoy on your own.
