What makes the Member’s Mark Elliot planters an exceptional value is members get three 14.5-inch planters for just under $20. These planters come in sand and black colors and perfect for displaying your favorite flowers on patios and porches.

  • Price: $16.97

It’s a win-win to shop for the Member’s Mark bamboo melamine serving platter.

This platter comes with six removable serving trays, a lid and a lazy susan base and it’s discounted $5.01 off its original price. Pick from a variety of pretty patterns and use the platter for everyday meals and special occasions.

  • Price: $14.96

A bulk set of sunscreen spray is a must-have to shield skin from the sunlight as retirees spend more time outside. The Banana Boat SPF 50 sunscreen trio made it onto this roundup since it’s on sale for $2 off now through May 31.

  • Price: $11.53

Protect your home from nefarious pests like ants and cockroaches with Raid. Now through May 31, Sam’s Club members save $2.75 on a two-count set of Raid spray plus a bonus eight-count pack of ant bait.

  • Price: $10.88

It’s not too early to shop for Fourth of July themed throws. The Member’s Mark red, white and blue lounge throws are affordably priced and available in Americana teddy, freedom floral, patriotic butterfly and summer dog patterns. Add your favorite style to your shopping cart now for yourself or to treat the grandkids. (We have a very good feeling these will sell out fast!)

  • Price: $9.98

Planning to spend more time outside this spring (and summer) fishing, hiking or enjoying the great outdoors? Add a Reel Life men’s UV tee to your wardrobe rotation.

This longsleeve shirt comes with UPF 50 UV protection to protect your skin from the sun without compromising comfort. Choose from five colors in men’s sizes small up to XXL before your preferred size is sold out.

  • Price: $6.74

A single 52-ounce bottle of orange juice can cost as much as $4.69 at big-box retailers like Target.

Noting this price comparison, it’s much more cost-effective for retirees on budgets to buy a two-pack of Member’s Mark pulp-free orange juice at Sam’s Club where the cost per bottle comes out to just $3.67.

  • Price: $6.96

Grab a bag of multicolored sweet bell peppers during your next Sam’s Club visit. Members receive six peppers in mixed colors (yellow, orange and red) in every bag and only pay $1.16 per pepper.
