In a houseful of kids we go through peanut butter FAST! Good thing this brand of peanut butter has been spotted at Dollar Tree. Check out the deal below:
Planters Nut-trition Peanut Butter – $1.00
$0.75 coupon printable Nut-trition PB coupon
= $0.25
While this is sure to be at many stores, this was found specifically at Elyria’s store by the Midway Mall.
