Cuisinart Coffee Machine

  • Price: $69.95

Starting the day with a cup of Joe is sure to give you a burst of energy, but did you know that caffeine has other health benefits? As noted by Rush, research suggests drinking coffee in moderation could improve cognitive function, lower the risk of certain diseases and even promote a healthy heart.

Just how much you should drink, or what type, is still a mystery. But if you love coffee, this stainless steel coffee machine could be just what you need. It’s programmable, so you don’t have to do everything manually. It can also hold up to 12 cups — more than enough for you, your partner and any visitors.

Walmart

Mainstays Air Fryer

  • Price: $29.98

As the weather improves, you might not want to spend your days indoors at the stove. If you’re searching for a convenient way to cook meals that doesn’t require a ton of time and cleanup, look no further than this 2.2-quart air fryer.

It’s small enough for kitchens with limited counter space, and it has a dishwasher-safe crisping tray and basket. Plus, it includes an auto shut-off feature for extra safety. Air fryers are also a healthier alternative to deep-fried foods since the meals you cook in them tend to have fewer saturated fats and oils.

Walmart

Equate Allergy Tablets

  • Price: $3.97

Spring is probably best known for seasonal allergies, so now is a good time to stock up on over-the-counter allergy medications. At Walmart, you can find nearly everything you need at affordable prices. Just look for the big-box store’s Equate brand.

Consider these Equate antihistamine allergy tablets. For just under $4, you can get 100 tablets that will temporarily relieve common allergy symptoms, like a runny nose and sneezing.

If you’re trying a new medication, you may want to consult a primary care provider for advice. This is especially helpful if you’re already taking other medications or on a strict dietary plan.

Walmart

Anywish Clear Storage Bins With Lids

  • Price: $53.79 (regularly $59.99)

Are you doing a bit of spring cleaning? Or do you need some new storage bins for all your winter clothes, blankets and decor? This six-pack of clear, 17-quart storage bins could be just the ticket.

These bins are stackable, have snap-tight lids and have ample space for your belongings. If you’re planning to donate a large haul come spring, they’re great for that as well.

Walmart

FDW Outdoor Patio Furniture Set

  • Price: $79.99 (regularly $150.99)

Your retirement lifestyle should be leisurely, but it shouldn’t be unduly expensive. While it might be too cold to enjoy a nice day out on the patio or back deck right now, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be ready for next season.

Walmart carries this three-piece set of wicker furniture that’s perfect for enjoying an afternoon drink or nap out in the sun. It comes with a table and two matching chairs designed to withstand the elements.

Walmart

Pen+Gear Moving Boxes

  • Price: $1.73 to $2.26

Downsizing in the spring? Pick up some boxes from Walmart.

Medium boxes cost $1.73 per box while large boxes cost $2.26. You can also choose to buy larger packs of boxes. If you’re concerned about weight, the retailer’s got heavy-duty options as well — though they cost a little more.
