Price: $10.88

A throw blanket from Sam's Club is a great buy for anyone living alone because it makes quiet nights at home feel warmer and more comforting without adding to your energy bill.

For under $11, you can get this soft, reversible, machine-washable 60-by-70-inch blanket to keep you cozy while reading a book or watching your favorite TV show.

Member's Mark Flameless Candles

Price: $32.97

Do you enjoy versatile decor? Invest in this set of three flameless, real-wax candles, and enjoy their safe ambient lighting for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Shoppers appreciate that they come with a remote and AA batteries, making them "like a Luminara candle," except more affordable and convenient.

Member's Mark Chunk Chicken Breast

Price: $13.48

Buying in bulk doesn't usually fly when you're single. Still, these six cans of chicken breast don't spoil as quickly as fresh poultry would, and they're perfect for quick meals and salads.

They're also more affordable than Walmart's Great Value Premium Chunk Chicken Breast, which sells for $3.58 per 12.5-ounce can or $21.48 for six counts.

Member's Mark Real Crumbled Bacon

Price: $8.98

Bacon doesn't spoil easily. To boot, who would keep bacon in the fridge long enough to spoil? This 20-ounce resealable bag is perfect for adding flavor to salads, pasta, and even desserts. It's also a shopper favorite, with almost 9,000 reviewers giving it five out of five stars.

Member's Mark Women's Shacket

Price: $17.98

Scoring a versatile layering piece for the cooler fall days has never been easier. With six colors to choose from, you can buy a jacket-slash-shirt style that is "so comfortable and perfect for the fall, and [...] so good, I have it in three colors," just like reviewer Star.

Marathon White Paper Towels

Price: $33.98

Having too many paper towels has never been anyone's problem, single or not, and with 16 packages and 250 towels per package, it definitely won't be yours. Regardless of your household's needs, you'll be well stocked for the festive season and beyond.

Member's Mark Fliplock Pantry Storage

Price: $24.98 (on sale from $29.98)

Single living means a lot of leftovers if you cook from scratch. With this eight-piece container set, you'll keep your meals airtight and save space thanks to its stackable design.

Shoppers love it: "The containers are great & compare with similar products that sell for much more," writes reviewer Leigh555.

Gain + Oxi Liquid Laundry Detergent

Price: $19.98

When it comes to buying laundry soap, price is all that matters. For under $20, this Gain product gives you 170 ounces of laundry detergent, enough for 159 loads, and long-lasting freshness and value. Speaking of value, it's ten dollars cheaper than Walmart's offering.

Members Mark Mini Cookies Variety Pack

Price: $8.98

Buying cookies in bulk saves you from frequent trips to the grocery store while still allowing you to maintain portion control. You can satisfy sweet cravings without going overboard with these 36 one-ounce mini cookie packages for over a month for the same price you'd pay for 30 packs at Walmart.

Price: $32.98

These 100 coffee pods let you cover your cuppa needs from now into the new year with a robust taste and flavor. The convenient single-serve pods are more affordable than Keurig's Original Donut Shop K-Cups, which sell for $55.99 for 96 units at Target.

Mrs. Meyer's Holiday Hand Soap

Price: $11.48

The best part about living alone is not having to share your favorites. This limited-edition pack features three 12.5-ounce bottles in Iowa pine, snowdrop, and gingerbread scents. The festive scents should last you until Christmas. Besides, this soap's moisturizing formula protects your skin.

Kinder's The Blend Seasoning Salt

Price: $11.98

While 27 ounces of seasoning salt may seem like too much, consider it's a mix of staples like salt, pepper, and garlic that work for various dishes. If you use all-purpose seasoning a lot, you can't get better value elsewhere. A six-ounce container of the same salt costs $5.23 at Walmart, or $23.53 for the same amount.

Gatorade Hydration Booster Variety Pack

Price: $17.58 (on sale from $21.98)

Buying Gatorade in bulk makes perfect sense if you live alone. With 24 sachets in strawberry watermelon, citrus berry, and tropical mango flavors, you'll have thirst beat for the better part of a month. You'll also save big. Six sachets of the same item cost $7.39 at Target.

Member's Mark Kitchen Trash Bags

Price: $16.98

Much like paper towels, trash bags don't go bad, so having a good stock in your kitchen makes sense. This pack contains 200 strong, reliable 13-gallon trash bags for everyday kitchen use. The best part about them? In the words of reviewer EWatkins: "Equivalent to any name brand & they last forever."

Bottom line

Shopping at Sam's Club if you live alone doesn't mean overbuying. If you purchase portioned products and multi-use essentials like paper towels, you'll save money on groceries and keep your home organized without the waste.

Another way of enjoying your membership is to use the freezer wisely. Buy meals in bulk, portion them, and keep them frozen until needed.
