Guy Jean Landry, 26, has been charged with seven counts of uttering a forged document and seven counts of fraud under $5,000.
The Sudbury man is scheduled to appear in court Monday.
Police issued a warning to retailers after being alerted about fraudulent documents circulating in the area.
The money orders had been altered to reflect significantly increased sums.
Transactions added up to over $3,000 while the original amount of the combined money orders was $70. Purchases included jewelry, exercise equipment, food and cash.
More arrests are expected.
