Winter temperatures are here, and to help you get ready for the chilly weather, Sam’s Club has everything you need.
When it comes to high quality at a great value, the warehouse club’s private label, Member’s Mark, stands out as a must-have. Here are four items shopping experts swear by this winter.
Also see seven little luxuries under $100 at Sam’s Club this winter.
Stay Warm: Cozy Throw
- Price: $12.98 (regularly $14.98)
A good throw blanket is an essential during winter, and Bobby Ghoshal, CEO of Dupe.com, recommended the Member’s Mark cozy throw.
“This throw is a good purchase for winter because of the size, quality and reviews,” Ghoshal said. “I typically don’t suggest buying seasonal items within the season if it can be avoided because you’re never going to find the deepest discount, but this is an item you can splurge on — buy a couple!”
The generous size and affordable price make it easy to layer up on the couch or add extra warmth to a bed without overspending.
Hot Cocoa Upgrade: French Vanilla Cappuccino Mix
- Price: $9.98
There’s nothing better than a hot cappuccino to warm you up, and the French vanilla cappuccino mix is a great deal, according to retail finance expert Melanie Musson with Quote.com.
“Hot chocolate is a staple of winter beverages, but sometimes, it’s fun to switch it up with an easy-to-prepare cappuccino mix,” Musson said. “You can make it hot and pack it in an insulated cup in your ski bag, or you can make yourself a warm drink after shoveling.”
At under $10, the entire package costs less than two coffees from many cafés, making it a budget-friendly way to enjoy multiple drinks at home.
Winter Dessert Made Easy: Mini Cheesecakes
- Price: $18.27
Winter just got a whole lot sweeter. The Member’s Mark mini cheesecakes are a delicious way to impress friends and family this season.
“The next time you gather with your friends to watch a big game or enjoy a dinner, you can handle the desserts,” Musson said. “Wintertime is perfect for rich desserts and hot coffee. These bite-sized cheese cakes make your contribution easy.”
Considering the time and cost of making cheesecake from scratch, this ready-to-serve option delivers impressive value — and guaranteed crowd-pleasing results.
Spruce Up Seasonal Decorating: Lounge Throw
- Price: $10.88
You can never have enough throws, and the Member’s Mark seasonal lounge throw is ideal for staying warm and decorating, Musson explained.
“Winter is cold, and it’s so nice to wrap up in a blanket in the evenings,” she said. “You can use them as decor and as a practical item.”
This throw is an easy, budget-friendly way to add style and comfort to your home this winter.
Shopping at Sam’s Club this season can help you stock up for winter while keeping more money in your pocket.
