Between post-holiday season clearance sales and New Year's promotions, you can find retail discounts on everything from gourmet eats to everyday grocery items, cookware, and all sorts of kitchen essentials. Walmart's membership retail arm, Sam's Club, is worth checking out if you're stocking up for the New Year and looking to cash in on some deals in 2026.

The chain's Instant Savings catalogue for January (valid from January 2 to January 25, 2026) features discounts on lots of highly rated products. In addition to the warehouse chain's best-selling items, like the $5 rotisserie chicken and Sam's Club copycats that are better than the real thing (think pizza bagels and frozen french fries), there is a slew of marked-down products that are great to have on hand. Maybe you want to simplify putting together delicious meals, up your sauce and condiment game, or need supplies for stress-free entertaining. Whatever the need, our picks for the best items from Sam's Club are sure to add a little flavor and ease to your kitchen this January.

Nature Nate's 100% Pure Raw and Unfiltered Honey

This raw honey is a Sam's Club favorite, and in addition to being a great sugar substitute, it can be used with pretty much anything that needs additional sweetness. Raw honey is unfiltered and unheated, and is widely considered better than processed honey by some because of its richer flavor and perceived health benefits. It also has a more complex flavor profile than other sweeteners. One online review of Nature Nate's 100% Pure Raw and Unfiltered Honey reads, "It has a wonderful flavor and not an overwhelming sugar taste ... I can taste the blend of flowers used." In January, Nature Nate's honey will be $2 less than its original price.

Member's Mark Italian Basil Pesto

The well-balanced flavor makes it versatile, and aside from pairing it with pasta, chicken, or sandwiches, there are lots of interesting ways to elevate dishes using pesto. Get the 22-ounce jar for $2 less than its regular price of $8.58.

Rao's Homemade Marinara Sauce

Rao's is the MVP of grocery store pasta sauces, and the Homemade Marinara Sauce is another favorite for quick and delicious low-prep meals at home. Marinara sauce is a go-to for pasta and pizza, but also versatile enough to use as a base for numerous dishes. At Sam's Club, a double pack of 22-ounce jars will be $2 off the regular $9.42 price in January. You can combine it with Rao's Homemade Premium Italian Pasta Variety Pack, which will also be available for $1 cheaper during January's Instant Savings period.

Member's Mark Seasoned Rotisserie Chicken

A deal so good, it doesn't need a discount to draw buyers, the $4.98 rotisserie chicken at Sam's Club bested Costco's in our official taste test and costs one penny less. An entire bird, fully seasoned and roasted, is ready to eat and prepared fresh daily. It's one of the most popular purchases at Sam's Club, and while there are no additional discounts on it in January, you can combine it with numerous other items that are on sale for a delicious, easy-prep meal.
