While Dollar General isn't known as one of the top Black Friday stores to shop, we’ve been shopping Dollar General's Black Friday sales for years, scoring deals like $5 small kitchen appliances and 50% off Christmas trees and blankets.
Even though Dollar General Black Friday 2025 won't likely kick off until Thanksgiving Day, we can still teach you our best shopping strategies and outline the top deals you will want to scoop up. They've also got a whole series of Dollar General Deal Days lined up for the weeks before and after Black Friday.
To make things easier on yourself, use our new Deal Planner™ feature in the free Krazy Coupon Lady app to set alerts for all the Black Friday sales! We'll remind you when they start so you don't miss out. Download the KCL app now. And take a look at all the current Dollar General deals.
Dollar General Black Friday is a 3-day sale with some deals reserved for Black Friday only.
During the week of Black Friday, Dollar General always hosts an expanded version of their Deal Days event with up to 50% off a wider selection of holiday decor, BOGO 75% off toys, sale prices on small kitchen appliances, and more.
Certain deals are reserved for Friday only, but the rest of the deals are shoppable Thursday through Saturday while supplies last.
KCL predicts the next Dollar General Black Friday sale will happen Nov. 27 - 29, 2025.
Dollar General hasn't announced the dates for their 2025 sale yet, but we expect the Dollar General Black Friday 2025 sale will take place Thursday, Nov. 27 - Saturday, Nov. 29, 2025.
How do we make our prediction?
For the past several years, Dollar General has started their Black Friday sale on Thanksgiving Day, which would be Nov. 27, 2025. The sale typically lasts through the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Not all Dollar General Black Friday deals are available online, so shop in store to avoid delivery fees.
Dollar General launched online shopping back in 2019. However, even after a few years, you can't shop all the Dollar General Black Friday items online or in the DG app. That's why we say it's best to shop Dollar General Black Friday deals in store, even on Thanksgiving Day. You'll also be able to avoid FedEx shipping costs, which can vary.
For example, we once bought two Melissa & Doug toys that cost a total of $18.75 online. Our FedEx ground economy shipping was $9.22. That shipping fee is almost equal to the price of one of the toys!

Since Dollar General's Black Friday sale goes through the Saturday following Black Friday, you can stack an exclusive Saturday-use-only $5 off $25 coupon with Black Friday savings. As a MyDG Rewards member, you'll find the coupon in the DG app (download for iOS /Android) or on DollarGeneral.com.
Non-MyDG members can get this coupon when they make any in-store purchase during the week (it'll print at the bottom of your receipt).
MyDG Rewards members don't get early access to Thanksgiving Day or Black Friday sales.
MyDG Rewards members can get cash back offers, digital coupons, and early access to new items and deals, but that doesn't seem to matter during Black Friday. Dollar General plays fair, giving all shoppers the same starting time for Black Friday deals — and no special doorbusters.
You can sign up for the loyalty program through the Dollar General app or register online at DollarGeneral.com.

Dollar General offers normal store hours (8 a.m. - 10 p.m.) on Thanksgiving for in-store holiday shopping. It's always best to contact your local Dollar General for specific holiday hours.
Dollar General stores open at 8 a.m. on Black Friday.
Dollar General locations will typically open at 8 a.m. (or regular opening time) on Black Friday. Since stores may vary in their business hours, check your local listings to confirm your nearest Dollar General Black Friday hours.
Shop toys during the Dollar General Sale when they're BOGO 75% off.
The buy one get one 75% off select toys deal is a staple of the Dollar General Black Friday Sale. You'll need to look for the blue or yellow star or blue dot on their tags. These tag symbols indicate they're seasonal toys, not year-round products, so they need to move them out.
Brands including Play-Doh, Barbie, and Disney are usually part of the toy sale. You can also use a 25% off when you spend $75 on toys in single transaction, but you can't combine the two deals.
Here's the deal on Dollar General policies on Black Friday:
Price Matching: Dollar General doesn't price match competitor ad prices during Black Friday or any other time. However, if you buy something in the DG app and the price changes by the time you pick it up in store, Dollar General will adjust the price to what it was when you placed the order.
Rain Checks: Unfortunately, there are no rain checks available at Dollar General.
Shipping: Dollar General free shipping is very rare, but store pickup is always free.
Local Delivery: Dollar General offers same-day delivery via DoorDash. Prices vary.
Returns: If you're not satisfied with any purchase you make at DG, you have 30 days to return it.

Dollar General doesn't have a traditional Cyber Monday sale the Monday after Thanksgiving.
Dollar General doesn't have a traditional Cyber Monday sale on the Monday after Black Friday. Instead, they usually hold a Dollar General Deal Days event on the Thursday through Saturday that follows. But it's a different set of items that goes on sale, so I wouldn't hold out for a better price if you spot something you like during Black Friday.
Here's what we saw during the week after Black Friday in 2024:
BOGO 75% off Plush Throws
BOGO 50% off Dolls
BOGO 50% off Men's or Ladies' Fleece
20% off select electronics
KCL TIP: You can use cash-back rebate apps like Ibotta and Fetch to get credit for your Dollar General purchases.
