Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner
Price: $9.98
This versatile cleaner can be used indoors or outdoors on many different surfaces, so whether your pets trekked mud inside or you want to keep your patio furniture clean this summer, this is a great option. It’s highly concentrated, so you can often dilute it to stretch your usage further. It’s also certified as part of the U.S. EPA’s Safer Choice program. The pack comes with a spray bottle and a refill.
Member’s Mark Brooms and Dustpans Set
Price: $12.98
Another way to keep your home clean this summer — indoors and outdoors — is with a solid broom and dustpan. This Member’s Mark set comes with two brooms and two dustpans at a price that rivals what you’d pay for just one. So if you’re getting ready to host a barbecue, for example, one person in your family can sweep outside while another sweeps inside.
Earth’s Best Sunny Day Bars
Price: $11.98
If you have young kids, you know they’re always game for a snack. And if you’re on the go this summer, running from one activity to the next, this 30-pack of Earth’s Best bars is a great choice. The bars are organic and made with real strawberries, and “Sesame Street” fans will appreciate the co-branding.
Heinz Original Tomato Ketchup Pack
Price: $9.98
Odds are, you’re going to go through a lot of ketchup this summer, like when you’re grilling hot dogs and burgers. So buying in bulk can save you money on this condiment staple. This Heinz pack comes with three 44-ounce bottles, which, for around $10, is hard to beat.
Neutrogena Sunscreen Lotion Pack
Price: $16.96
Summer also calls for sunscreen, but some of the higher-end brands with premium ingredients can be eye-wateringly expensive. However, Neutrogena sunscreen seems to strike a good balance in terms of affordability and quality. This three-pack of 3-ounce 70 SPF bottles is currently $3 off until July 13, but even at the non-sale price of $19.96, that’s still likely a good deal.
Under Armour Women’s Socks
Price: $12.98
Lastly, if you’re going to be exercising this summer or walking around a lot, you’ll want comfortable socks. Sam’s Club has great deals on several different brands, but this Under Armour six-pack of women’s socks stands out. The ultra-low cut is great if you don’t want your socks showing much, if at all, while you’re wearing shorts. The socks also include breathable mesh on the top to help you stay cool, along with anti-odor technology, which is great for those humid summer days.
