What are Dollar General Penny Items?

Dollar General penny items are products marked down to just $0.01. These items are usually getting discontinued, seasonal, or overstocked merchandise that Dollar General wants to clear from its inventory. Although these items aren’t advertised, they can still be scanned and purchased for a penny if they remain on the shelves. Employees are supposed to remove these items from the store when they get this list but you can usually grab a few before they get a chance to and they have to honor the price!

Where to Look for Penny Items In-Stores

Dollar General penny items aren’t in a specific aisle. They’re deeply discounted clearance or seasonal products that have been marked for removal but weren’t pulled quickly enough. Here’s where shoppers typically find them:

  • Clearance Aisles & Endcaps: Stop by the seasonal sections, like holiday decor, summer toys, etc.
  • Top Shelves Above Regular Stock: Look for leftover clearance often pushed up high.
  • Bottom Shelves Under Full-Price Items: Check for places they might have gotten tucked away.
  • Behind or Between Current Items: Keep your eyes peeled for remnants of old seasonal displays.
  • Don't Skip the Regular Priced Areas: Most penny items are found in the clearance section, but that doesn't mean you won't find anything in the regular priced areas of your store. It always pays to check.

Smart Penny-Shopping Strategies

Below are my top tips for successfully finding these secret $0.01 items in store.

  1. Go Early: Visit your store early because penny items can and will go quickly (Tuesdays are a big markdown day).
  2. Check Back Weekly: Bookmark this post and set a reminder to come back every week for a new list of penny items.
  3. Be Nice: Treat employees with respect and don't bother them asking where the items are located, they likely will not help you.
  4. Scan with the App: You can use the Dollar General app to scan the item's barcode, which is faster than matching the above upc yourself every time.
  5. Finding Penny Items: Penny items are sometimes right where you expect them to be, if my list says a certain cereal you should start by the cereals. But often you may find them in a different spot or behind other items - it's worth doing a little digging without making a mess.
  6. Watch for Penny Resets: When an item gets restocked the penny pricing will end, and the item will go back to full price. This is where using the app comes in handy since you can scan an item & check the current price.
  7. Don't Make a Mess: That's right, if you find yourself digging in the shelves looking for these items clean up and NEVER open inventory boxes that employees were in the process of already removing. Be discreet.

Scoring Dollar General penny items can feel like a hidden treasure hunt, and with a little patience and the right tips, you can uncover some incredible deals. Whether you're a seasoned shopper or just getting started, staying informed and shopping smart can help you make the most of every visit. Just remember to be respectful to store employees and follow store policies, and you’ll keep the deals coming week after week. Happy shopping!
