(109 posts)46. OMG peanut butter! With 3 kids we go through a lot
I happen to be at publix last week. I noticed the JIF was BOGO free. I knew we didn't need any, so I was about to pass it up, then I saw the price $6.99 (I am not sure of the ounces, but it was the biggest one Publix offers). I put 4 of them in my cart. I know the same size was about $4-$5 just a few weeks before. And publix is not one of those stores that jacks up the price for their BOGO, like Winn Dixie does.

+1 on Aldi. I shop a midwest chain called Woodman's which is often cheaper than Aldi
