Food Storage Containers

Food storage containers are perfect for storing and gifting leftovers.

Batteries
- Price: $22.48 (regularly $24.98)
There’s no worse feeling than one of your gadgets running out of battery life and having no replacements. This is why batteries are a great buy at Sam’s Club. Not only can you save money, but you can also buy in bulk to last you all year. For example, Sam’s Club has a 48-pack of AA batteries on sale for $22.48.

Protein Shakes
- Price: $23.22
If you’re constantly on the go, you might need a quick snack to keep you full. The Fairlife Nutrition protein shakes are a great addition to any diet.
