From small indulgences to surprisingly useful household finds, the warehouse is packed with under-$20 deals that make your life easier, cozier, or just more enjoyable. Let's take a look at 15 of them.

Member's Mark Italian Basil Pesto
Price: $8.58
This staple pantry item is made with aged Parmesan and Romano cheeses, pine nuts, and basil. It gives pasta, sandwiches, and dips a bold flavor.
In February, it can be the base of a scrumptious Valentine's dinner. As it's often an Instant Savings deal with $2 off, it's a great value buy.
Bridgerton Lace Bow Sweater
Price: $17.74
A small wardrobe renewal is in order this month. Pick this cozy statement piece with delicate lace bow details for a cottage-core vibe. Available in five colors, it's also perfect for casual winter-to-spring layering.
For reference, similar seasonal sweaters start at $27 (on sale!) at Kohl's.
Member's Mark AA Alkaline Batteries
Price: $17.98
Night falls early in February, so having essentials like batteries on hand is always a good idea, especially when you score 48 for under $20.
Just to compare, Target sells Energizer AA four-packs for $14.19. You'd part with a shocking $170 for the same count.
Brookside Dark Chocolate and Pomegranate Snacks
Price: $14.48
January is finally over, so you can go back to enjoying a few choice snacks without guilt. These dark chocolate, pomegranate-flavored snacks offer a pleasant sweet-tart balance, and less than $15 buys you two pounds.
Shoppers love these "creamy, fresh, delectable treats."
Member's Mark Everwash Accent Rug
Price: $10.98
If your kitchen or entryway looks a little drab, add a touch of color just in time for spring with this 2-by-3.7-foot compact, machine-washable rug.
It's a lifesaver for spills and pet accidents without the $20 price tag of a Threshold rug at Target.
Member's Mark Flameless LED Candles
Price: $17.98
A seven-piece LED wax candle set is a bargain for under $20. Realistic flicker makes these candles a safe way to add ambiance and cozy lighting to every room.
Shoppers love that batteries are included and the candles are easy to program with timers. "They are different heights. The remote works by just pointing it at the candle you want to turn on," explains reviewer Trish.
Isotoner Women's Classic Clog Slipper
Price: $12.88
If your floors are uncomfortably cold during the winter months, consider these soft, memory-foam slippers that slide on easily and have a backless clog design.
Available in five colors, including a playful pink, they offer similar comfort to the Auden Kaya booties available at Target for $30.
Formaggio Artisan Meat and Mozzarella Wraps
Price: $13.98
If you're planning a Valentine's Day brunch, consider this 22-ounce pack of artisan-style cheese and meats, including pepperoni, prosciutto, and sopresatta. You need no prep and no cleanup.
They're also versatile beyond Valentine's Day. Reviewer Nate ate "half the package with crackers and the other half as sandwiches with arugula and tomatoes. GREAT both ways!"
Costa Farms Sansevieria Plant
Price: $17.98
Colloquially known as a snake plant, this beginner-friendly green thrives in February's low light and is forgiving even if you forget to water it now and then.
It's also a stylish decor piece that improves air quality and adds a touch of color to your space without a green thumb.

NatureWell Tinted Lip Peptide
Price: $19.98
A pretty lip tint can make your day, especially during winter. These four hydrating tints contain peptides that moisturize and add just enough color for everyday wear.
They're a better value than the Burt's Bees tinted lip balms that sell for $5.79 per piece at CVS.
Seville Classics Foldable Ottoman
Price: $19.88
An easy way to refresh a bedroom or hallway is with this multifunction piece that can serve as hidden storage, extra seating, or a footrest. It also easily folds when not needed.
Buyers appreciate how it stashes blankets and linens without losing its shape and how sturdy it is for the price.
Member's Mark Microfiber Towels
Price: $17.98
This pack comes with 24 microfiber towels in three colors. You can designate colors for different areas like the bathroom, kitchen, and car care. It's a highly versatile staple that traps dust, dirt, and liquid more effectively than regular cotton.
Don't miss this deal, or you'll end up paying over $40 for the same count at Target.
Member's Mark Tres Leches Cake
Price: $18.98
A cake isn't a necessity, but it's also a welcome treat, especially on Valentine's Day. This rich, moist dessert impresses with its tres leches texture and strawberry freshness.
Members often call this a party dessert steal: "The delightful combination of icing, yellow cake, fresh strawberries, and finely chopped nuts makes this cake perfect for any celebration," gushes Georgia Peach.
Olay Fresh Outlast Body Wash
Price: $15.98
Two 35-ounce bottles of everyday body wash are a bargain for under $20. With its Olay quality, the soap leaves skin feeling soft and refreshed, thanks to the vitamin B3 formula.
It's also $0.1 cheaper per fluid ounce than Target's Olay body wash.
UBite Raw Bits Freeze-Dried Beef Liver
Price: $12.98
Do you want to give your furry friend a treat for Valentine's Day? These freeze-dried single-ingredient bites work for both dogs and cats, and they're a healthy high-protein alternative to standard treats. The best part? Members say their pets go nuts for these!
Bottom line
You don't have to spend big to make your Sam's membership worth it. The best deals are often affordable, slightly unexpected, and quite valuable. Regardless of your personal needs, these under-$20 February deals prove you can save more on everyday essentials when you shop at Sam's Club.
Want another tip? Compare both in-club and online prices before making a purchase. Some under-$20 deals are cheaper in-store, while others quietly drop online, especially midweek.
