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.
