Need multiple, small, transactions to satisfy c.c. spend [Consolidated]

Guys

I need to add 5 transactions on my credit card to get some bonus miles and want to finish up with it quick to cancel the card

Does anybody know where I can purchase something for a few cents?

Thanks

5 apples (bananas, oranges) at self checkout ?
Some online charities do accept $1 as contribution on CC.

Some are cheap, some are things you will do anyway:

Go to the corner store and buy a coke.
Buy a candy bar at another corner store.
Go to the post office and buy some stamps.
Take your significant other out to dinner.
Fill up your car with gas.

It's a breeze to use the same gas pump five times to put in a nickel or dime of gas at a time.

Guys this isn't working. I just went to my local grocery store and took one leaf out of the parsley hoping it'll be 1-2 cents but the cashier said it's not showing any weight. I got it for free which is good but i really need 5 transactions. $1 is too much and I don't eat fruits

This sounds like a Mr. Bean shopping method.

I'm not guys but I had a laugh myself writing it up!!!

BTW, I did walk into an indian store once to get some exotic stuff and needed only a little. And since it didn't show weight, it was free. Thereafter, I've been going back there quite often but make sure not to choose the same lady

Damn, here I am a sucker for always buying parsley and stuff in their minimum bundles when I really only needed a tiny bit.

Is it really that hard to come up with 5 things to buy? Go to the store and get inspired. Buy five packs of gum. Five candy bars. Five lemons. Go through the McDonald's drive thru five times and get apple pie.
