Warehouse clubs like Sam's make it easy to shop on a fixed income. That's why these last-minute August deals landed on our list.

Even though you can save at Sam's Club, empty nesters need to carefully weigh quantities versus cost in order to make affordable investments. Hint: If your retirement savings are stretched thin, avoid refrigerated bulk buys that could go bad before you use them. Instead, focus on shelf-staple pantry products and items that you can freeze.
