Thanks to the luxury of taking your own vehicle, you can pack a lot more than if you were flying. If you stock up on everything from food to entertainment, you can avoid a lot of the expenses that make traveling costly.

However, deciding where to buy the goods you need can be a little overwhelming. Here are some recommendations for the best retailers to give you the best price on your road trip goods .

Food at Sam’s Club

A high priority for a road trip is going to be food – especially if you’re planning to camp and make your own food. If you’re camping, you’re going to likely lean into the sorts of things you can make on a camping stove or over a fire, like hot dogs, kebabs, and baked beans.

Regular grocery store prices on food remain higher than usual thanks to inflation , so consider some of these deals on food at Sam’s Club, known for its low prices to members.

Their Condiment Picnic Pack — including two 32-ounce ketchups, a 26-ounce relish and a 28-ounce mustard — is just $9.86. This should last you all the way through your trip and then some.

Jump on this 24-pack of Ballpark chicken and pork hot dogs for just $6.98 for a night of tasty eats by the campfire.

And what’s a road trip without snacks? Snap up this deal on a 40-pack of Nabisco cookies and crackers , with sweet and savory brand name snacks to choose from for $13.68.
