I am going to show you how I spent $8.65 at Walgreens today and came home with $12.00 in Register Rewards!  I did a total of 6 transactions.  I could have done this with much less out of pocket by using fillers that were at least $0.25, but I really wanted the Jif peanut butters!  To date, this is the best deal I’ve found on Jif, which is the only brand my family will eat, and we eat a lot of it.

I bought 4 Jif peanut butters, 2 Crystal Light drink mixes, and 6 Ecotrin asprins.   What’s funny is that we don’t use Ecotrin, nor does anyone else in my family that I’ve polled, but since Walgreens was paying me $2.00 per box to bring it home, I figured I might as well do it!!!  If I can’t give them to someone who uses them, I will donate them to Manna or the local shelter.
