    So I just checked my receipt and did the tax calc, and tax was applied only to the 'Lightly Seasoned' and Honey Roasted.
    The (3) Unsalted jars were not taxed, making the net cost only $1.69 for those, and $2.53 for the others. Not as good as you lucky folks who got em free or near-free, but definitely a worthwhile trip to Zehrs for me. btw, Best Before dates were mostly Nov, 2017.
    yup. the government is tricky

    My 4000 pts was just until Feb 5 only. Plus, mine scanned in at $6.79 each.
    Win Amazon Giftcards just by searching with Swagbucks! I've made over $700!!!

    Thanks Shwa Girl, I also thought all snacks are taxable. Next time I buy the blue menu no salt pistaschio, will make sure no tax is charged.

    This is something to watch for when buying in bulk at stores like Bulk Barn as well. Unsalted, unseasoned nuts are non-taxable.
