15 Cheap Walmart Items My Jewish Grandpa Buys Before Winter Hits — You’ll Wish You Had Them

Every year, right before the first hard frost, my grandpa makes one trip to Walmart with a very specific list. He doesn’t buy anything fancy, and nothing on it costs much. But by January, everyone in the family wishes they had followed his lead. Fifteen items made the list this year. Some keep the house warmer and the heating bill lower. Some protect the car, the pipes, and the front steps. Others are simply the small, cheap things that become impossible to find once the first storm sends everyone to the store at the same time. For each one, you’ll hear why he buys it early and how he puts it to use. What is the one cheap item that gets you through every winter?
