The 5 Sam’s Club finds seniors are stocking up on before fall settles in

As the air cools and autumn colors start to settle in, many seniors are feeling the crunch of rising grocery prices that make every trip to the store a little more stressful.

With essentials like ground beef, eggs, and coffee all climbing sharply in price this year, smart shopping has never been more important—especially for those living on fixed incomes or stretching Social Security benefits.

One of the easiest ways to save money without giving up quality or comfort? Shopping in bulk at Sam’s Club. By picking your purchases strategically, you can stock your pantry for the fall season and save yourself both time and money down the road.


1. Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin ($7.58)

Nothing says fall quite like the comforting aroma of pumpkin pie baking in the oven or a pumpkin-spiced soup simmering on the stove. This three-pack of Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin features large 29-ounce cans that can be used for sweet or savory dishes alike—pies, smoothies, muffins, or hearty soups.

Since the cans are generously sized, it’s best to plan ahead for bigger meals or share a portion with friends or neighbors after opening. Having a few cans tucked away ensures you’ll always be ready for any fall recipe that calls for that signature seasonal flavor.
