Price: $9.98

This massive 108-ounce can of Chef-mate chili sauce is a pantry staple that can keep December meals easy, cheap, and plentiful. Fully cooked and beefy, it's ideal for topping baked potatoes, burgers, or even macaroni and cheese.

Shoppers can't have enough of it: "Some of the best hot dog chili around," writes reviewer Andrew.

Price: $8.98

Bacon goes with everything, and this 20-ounce offering is made from real bacon, which is why many shoppers love to add it to their salads, pasta, and baked potatoes.

Besides, the Member's Mark bag costs barely $3 more than what Target charges for six ounces of Hormel Real Bacon Bits, making it cheaper ounce-for-ounce.

Price: $7.98

Chicken broth is a must-have in December, and this six-pack of 32-ounce cartons will come in handy for soups, stuffing, gravy, and casseroles that are perfect for the Christmas table.

Shoppers love the clean flavor and low-sodium profile of this broth, calling it, "a true kitchen staple, flavorful and versatile [...] if you cook from scratch."

Price: $8.52

Pasta is a practical way to stretch your budget during the holidays, especially when hosting or making quick weeknight meals. This Barilla multi-pack offers six one-pound boxes of spaghetti, penne, and elbow macaroni.

Considering that a one-pound box of Barilla pasta sells for $1.89 at Target, you're saving almost $3 by getting it at Sam's.

Price: $6.98

Can't have a decent plate of pasta without parmesan cheese, and this oversized 24-ounce container will also hold enough grated cheese for pizza, soups, garlic bread, and holiday stews.

Shoppers love the value. "Same price as a much smaller one at the grocery store. I've been putting this on everything," writes reviewer Deb.

Price: $14.98

No Christmas Eve charcuterie board is complete without a drizzle of Mike's Hot Honey. This product has a loyal following, with dozens of Reddit threads hailing its taste and versatility.

It's also the best price you can get for a 24-ounce bottle. Target sells one that's half its size for $11.19.

Price: $17.48

With two liters or 67 ounces of olive oil in one oversized bottle, this organic extra virgin olive oil is one of the best-value pantry staples at Sam's. December is the peak baking and roasting season, so oil is a must-have for your kitchen.

It's also more affordable than Costco's Kirkland Signature two-liter bottle, which sells for $20.99.

Price: $10.98

If you enjoy whipping up holiday desserts without paying bakery prices, try this four-pack of Hershey's chocolate brownie mix from Betty Crocker. You'll get premium brownies at a bargain price.

You'll also be topped up for the month without having to pay three cents more per ounce at Target for the regular Chocolate Chunk Brownie Mix.

Price: $10.48

Planning a holiday baking marathon? This 25-pound bag of high-protein bread and pizza flour will let you go to town on bread, cookies, and rolls, whether you're hosting or bringing dishes to gatherings.

Literally 90% of Sam's Club reviewers give this flour five out of five stars. "I make everything with this: cake, pretzels, and other pastries," explains reviewer Marq Storm.

Price: $8.98

December is often synonymous with hosting and pasta nights, so this three-pack of 45-ounce jars is a savvy kitchen staple. It has a tomato, herb, and olive oil base that's versatile for everything from spaghetti dinners to chili.

Shoppers prefer it to other pasta sauce brands. "This is my favorite. I don't care for Prego," writes reviewer Mike.

Price: $5.54

Cold cuts and dips are crowd-pleasing appetizers, and with this Litehouse ranch, you get a creamy, fresh dip at a great price.

Shoppers find that the 32-ounce dressing delivers great value, better than buying it at Target for 15 cents more per ounce.

Price: $5.48

Kinder's seasonings have a cult following, and this Buttery Steakhouse blend is an easy upgrade for holiday cooking. It works on steak, vegetables, and holiday roasts, adding a buttery, savory flavor shoppers love.

"Kinder's may be the best in the game. This product is second to none," writes reviewer Caleb, a caterer by trade.

Price: $15.98

Whether you're baking cookies, melting chips for desserts, or prepping homemade gifts, you can't go wrong with this giant 72-ounce bag of Toll House chocolate chips.

At Walmart, a single 12-ounce bag runs for $4.92, meaning six times that amount would cost $29.52.

Price: $7.28

You can't bake scrumptious holiday desserts without sugar, and with this budget-saving product, you get 10 pounds of the stuff, enough to bake all the treats you can think of.

Additionally, a large bag means fewer trips to the store and a lower per-unit cost than buying a four-pound bag at Target for $3.19.

Price: $9.28

Having healthy breakfasts can be challenging during busy mornings in December. This 35.3-ounce bag of whole grains, pumpkin seeds, and flax is filling and wholesome, without being too sweet.

At this price point, it's a better deal than Target's 24.7-ounce bag, which costs $8.79 or 10 cents more per ounce.

Sam's Club is your go-to for December pantry stocking, especially if you want quantities that last. From baking staples like sugar to dinnertime essentials like pasta sauce, these picks keep your kitchen busy, helping you tackle high grocery costs.
