Parks Finest Ballpark 100% All Beef Franks - $0.50

I ran to the store to get milk today...and spent $40 bucks lol.  BUT. I DID notice when I was there that the ballpark franks were only $3.50 and my girl has been asking for ages for hotdogs (gross.)  I figured I'd try out the all beef ballparks - they have premium seasoning, 4 flavors (signature, cracked dijon mustard, slow smoked hickory, and smokehouse BBQ seasoned) and they are made with 100% Beef, 0% Artificial Preservatives and no Nitrates or Nitrites.  I *thought* I remembered them being in Shopmium (Downloadable from the play store on your phone.  If you are new to shopmium, and would like a free Lindt candy bar, use this referral code - YUCGFGTQ after downloading the app to your phone.)  I checked it out and there was a $1.50 rebate there.  For good measure I checked Ibotta and they had a $1.50 rebate as well!  I redeemed both, and the final cost was $0.50 for some solid hotdogs. Enjoy!
