Beef sticks are a satiating pantry snack between meals, and these mini pepperoni sticks from Country Archer Provisions bring the protein without any sugar.

The mini sticks come individually packaged and are 45 calories and 4 grams of protein each. At Walmart, the brand's original mini beefs are a whopping 93 cents each, while Sam's are just 60 cents.

Price: $12.92

No one wants to run out for pancake mix on a weekend morning, so save yourself the hassle with this massive box of Kodiak Flapjack and Waffle Mix.

Sneakily packed with 15 grams of protein per serving, the fluffy buttermilk pancakes are made with whole-grain wheat flour, whole-grain oat flour, brown sugar, and whey protein concentrate — all you have to do is add water and start flipping.

The box contains three 24-ounce bags of mix for $12.92, which is a steal considering one 20-ounce bag of the mix goes for $5.29 at Target.

Price: $7.54

For a quick dinner, grab some pasta and a jar of Bertolli's alfredo sauce from your pantry. The rich, creamy sauce is made with cream, butter, parmesan, milk, egg yolk, and sherry — in other words, a lot of ingredients you won't have to buy to make the sauce from scratch.

The three-pack of 15-ounce jars costs $7.54 at Costco, and shoppers loved the price point. "Great value and the best jar of alfredo sauce out there," J Narvaiz said.

Price: $9.91 (on sale from $11.98)

There's nothing cozier than sipping on a warm cup of broth, and this flavored variety pack takes it to a whole new level with three unique flavors: Thai lemongrass, delight pho, and spicy tortilla.

The plant-based dried ingredients come in a teabag-like sachet that you steep in boiling water for four minutes, so you won't have to worry about using up a carton of broth before it goes bad.

The three-pack comes with 12 bags of each flavor on sale for just under $10 at Sam's Club. For reference, just one of the three boxes costs about half that at Walmart.

Price: $11.98

Whether adding to salad or baking in a pot pie, this canned chicken breast is super convenient to have on hand for easy weeknight meals or days when you don't have time to go to the grocery store.

Salt and water are the only other ingredients besides chicken, and it's fully cooked, so you don't have to worry about breaking out a meat thermometer.

"Makes great casseroles, soup, even used it in tocos or dumplings, Karen said. "It's always fresh because it's chicken in a can!"

Price: $8.48

Dried fruit is great to have on hand, and it has a long shelf life for sitting in your pantry. This three-flavor variety pack of dried fruit from Ocean Spray includes mixes of cranberries with pineapple, cherry, and mango.

Each individual pouch is 90 calories and costs about 47 cents, which would be 31 cents more at Walmart.

Price: $11.98

These microwaveable lentils are a staple in my house because they're quick, easy, and affordable.

The black lentils are mixed with red kidney beans, caramelized onions, cream, tomato paste, and spices. All you have to do is slightly open the pouch and microwave for 60 seconds.

Six servings of the lentils are $9.98 or $1.66 per pouch. "These are quick and delicious," MarcyM said. "I put them on baked potatoes, and they taste like chili."

Price: $9.48 (on sale from $10.98)

No pantry shopping list is complete without a baking mix, like this classic Triple Chocolate Brownie Mix from Hershey's. The "triple" in the name refers to the chocolate chips, chunks, and cocoa in the mix. And all you need is water, vegetable oil, and eggs to have fresh-baked brownies.

While a single box of Betty Crocker Delights Supreme Triple Chunk Brownie Mix will cost you about $4 at Walmart, this four-pack is on sale for just $9.48 at Sam's. "This is the best brownie mix I've ever used," DLay said.

Price: $19.98

Pick up this four-pack of beef and chicken pho for nights when you crave a warm cup of soup.

This delicious, microwaveable Vietnamese dish is made with rice noodles and spices like coriander, cloves, fennel, aniseed, and cardamom. Plus, each bowl is just $5. "Saw on Shark Tank and had to try," Kdm2288 said. "We love love love the flavor in these."

Price: $7.98

On the Border's queso is a great addition to taco night, or you can have it with chips for a delicious, restaurant-quality snack.

This two-pack from Sam's Club comes with a jar of salsa con queso and Monterey Jack queso. Just heat and serve the creamy dip.

Sam's price works out to $3.99 per 23-ounce jar of queso, which is about the same amount that Walmart charges for a smaller portion of the queso.

Price: $8.98

I always have a bag of rice in my pantry, and this 8-pound bag of jasmine rice is a steal at less than $9 — that's just 7 cents per ounce. (It's 10 cents per ounce at Walmart.)

Originating from Thailand, the massive bag has a whopping 80 servings of rice and is conveniently resealable. "This Jasmine rice is always delicious, cooks up perfectly, and the price is amazing versus what I would pay at the grocery store for the same brand," Becka said.

Price: $14.98

Stash this 21-pack of pistachios in your pantry for grab-and-go snacks. The three flavors — roasted and salted, chili roasted, and jalapeno lime — come in individual packets and are already de-shelled for you. Each pack is 120 to 130 calories and 5 grams of protein.

You'll pay just 71 cents per pouch at Sam's compared to 83 cents each at Walmart. "Love the ease of these packets for a quick snack on the go or lunchbox addition," Johnson said. "The flavors are phenomenal!"

Price: $12.98

Mac and cheese is the ultimate comfort meal, especially when it's as easy to make as these Annie's White Cheddar Mac & Cheese Cups. Just pour in water, microwave, and add the cheese packet, and you've got a quick meal or snack with 210 calories and 7 grams of protein.

The single-serving cups are a little over a dollar each in the 12-pack at Sam's Club, which is preferable to the $1.50 per portion you would pay at Walmart.

Price: $14.98

No need to break out the blender with these premade fruit and oat smoothies, consisting of apples, blueberries, bananas, strawberries, whole-grain oat flour, and more.

The smoothies come in convenient squeezable pouches, so you don't even have to dirty a glass or worry about spilling. Plus, they're just 60 calories each and contain fish oil, vitamin E, and Omega-3's DHA/EPA.

"Full of nutrition, extremely clean texture and absolutely delicious flavor," Yb said. "From age 6 to 43 whole family loves it!"

Price: $9.98 (on sale from $11.98)

For salads or side dishes, keep these canned sweet peas in your pantry to up your vegetable intake.

The peas are stored in a minimalist ingredient list of water, sugar, and salt. And they work out to just $1.25 per can, which is 73 cents less than Walmart.

Price: $9.98

If you're a fan of avocado toast, then you'll love these crackers covered in an avocado salt and pepper seasoning. The crackers — made with rice flour and potato starch — are gluten-free, vegan, and 130 calories per serving.

The 16-ounce box is 62 cents per ounce, while at Walmart, the crackers are 89 cents per ounce. "Compared to the amount you get when purchasing in a grocery store, the price absolutely cannot be beat!" Tracy G.

I'm always trying to save on groceries where I can, especially when it comes to the pantry items that I'm constantly restocking.

While some new items are here to stay, others are only available for a limited time — so shop while you can.
