November might possibly be the best month to have a Sam’s Club membership. Between actual Thanksgiving and the many offshoot holidays with different groups of your friends and family, we have a lot of mouths to feed. Buying in bulk is essential to having enough money leftover to partake in Black Friday (or whatever’s left of that sad, sad holiday). Here are five of the best finds to grab from Sam’s Club for the coming festivities ahead in November.

Gourmet Specialty Foods Bacon Wrapped Southwest Style Jalapeño Poppers
These ready to cook jalapeño poppers are the ideal thing to get at Sam’s Club for our Thanksgiving prep. You can easily heat them up before your guests get to your house then throw them on a table for them to dig into while you finish the actual last-minute cooking frenzy. The name of the game is to streamline any and all cooking on the big day and these couldn’t get much easier on that front!
Member’s Mark Thanksgiving Meal
This isn’t exactly one pick, it’s just the landing page for the Thanksgiving meal that we highlighted a few weeks ago. The link is now live so we can see a bit more of what Sam’s Club is working with. You can add and subtract from the following Member’s Mark items to fit your needs: hickory smoked turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, turkey gravy, macaroni and cheese, cranberry crunch salad, seasoned green beans, sweet corn, yeast dinner rolls, and pumpkin pie. While they marketed this as less than $10 per person, it’ll certainly vary depending on what you ultimately choose to grab.
Member’s Mark Sweet Fruit Topped Chantilly Cream Bar Cake
Sam’s Club is here to prove that not every Thanksgiving dessert has to be a hefty pie! You can, and should, grab this sweet fruit topped chantilly cream bar cake to give your guests a rest period after a monstrous plate filled with turkey and mashed potatoes. If you really do want to keep the indulgence going you could pair it with a scoop of ice cream but I’ll let you make that call.
Del Monte Golden Sweet Whole Kernel Corn
Selfishly, I am including Del Monte’s golden sweet whole kernel corn in this list for what to grab at Sam’s Club in November to make amends. Their recent collab with Hidden Valley Ranch was a huge miss for me. That said, we are genuinely fans of the original, non-ranched version. Its butter, salty, sweet profile won out our canned corn taste test. It deserves a spot at the Thanksgiving table and it’s going to make its way there, thanks to Sam’s Club.
Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls
I commend people who make their own rolls for Thanksgiving. Or buy them from the Sam’s Club bakery at the very least. Unfortunately, that is not my M.O. I was put on this planet to eat Pillsbury crescent rolls at every possible occasion. Thanksgiving is the number one day for Pillsbury roll enjoyment and Sam’s Club is here to facilitate that move with this 32 pack that they have for sale. It simply doesn’t get better than this.
La Marca Prosecco Sparkling Wine
There’s nothing fancier than a nice bottle of prosecco at the Thanksgiving table. Even better, there’s nothing better for your wallet than a bottle of prosecco from Sam’s Club that is so good your guests won’t know the difference. La Marca’s sparkling wine is a cool $13. That’s a killer deal that you really will be hard-pressed to beat! Heck, for that price let’s get two bottles so you have one to sip on while you finish the final touches on the big meal.
