While many seniors still enjoy cooking, for the days and nights when you just need a hearty meal that’s easy to prepare without any prep and little cleanup, soup is a great choice. This 10-count pack of Health Choice chicken soups comes in two flavors, five 15-ounce cans of chicken noodle and another five of chicken with rice.

Price: $21.97
For the seniors who prefer to do their own cooking and prioritize healthy, lean protein, these six-pound packs of Member's Mark frozen boneless and skinless chicken breast tenderloins are perfect.

Stagg Silverado Beef Chili
Price: $13.98
Another great source of protein with lasting shelf life is this six-pack of 15-ounce cans of Stagg chili. Full of flavor, using ripe tomatoes, onions, green bell peppers and Silverado beef, this chili makes a meal all its own or an excellent side along with other dishes.
GE LED Lightbulbs
