Four pounds of butter may sound like a lot, but it freezes exceptionally well, and the price is unbeatable. The individually wrapped sticks let you store what you don't need right away.

Price: $9.97

If your New Year's resolution is to take better care of yourself, you can't do better than by buying dental care in bulk. This 300-count pack can last you the better part of 2026 and takes up minimal space.

Laundry detergent comes in handy after the holiday season's festivities and works well as a bulk buy for solo living. This 127-load soap doesn't expire, eliminating the need for frequent trips to the grocery store.

Price: $24.98

This compact prep set is designed for small salads. It won't fill your sink with dishes, while the nesting design saves space, and the tools are sized for one or two servings.

If you're like us, you don't want to keep rebuying small paper towel bags every time you go shopping.

Price: $19.98

Winter is far from over, so getting a high-quality throw in a generous 60-by-70-inch size can make the difference between a sky-high electricity bill and feeling toasty without the pain this January.

Price: $13.98

Price: $34.98

Does your home feel a little bare after the holiday season? Washable rugs can elevate your kitchen or hallway, and are especially useful when you live alone and don't want to deal with professional cleaning.

With this two-piece set, you won't worry about sliding. Reviewer Debra finds them awesome, especially because "they stick to the floor pretty well."

Sam's Club is absolutely worth it for solo living, especially in January, when deals on home basics, food, and wellness items are at their best. As we've seen, the trick is to choose versatile products that won't go to waste, but save you time and money instead.

To tackle high grocery costs, check out Sam's Club's freezer, pharmacy, and household sections first. If you live alone, frozen meals and bulk paper goods often offer the biggest per-unit savings, and they're easy to store and use at your pace.
