New Dollar General Penny List for April 7: Frozen Food (Plus New Clearance)

Did you know that you can score Dollar General deals for just $0.01 with the Dollar General Penny List? (It's a list of specific items that will ring up for $0.01 at Dollar General.) The list changes weekly, and we update it on Monday afternoons so you can check for the latest penny sale items which might be hiding on your store's shelves each Tuesday.

If you’ve been penny shopping at Dollar General for years, you can now hunt for Dollar Tree penny items too. On weeks when Dollar General doesn’t have new penny drops, it’s worth checking Dollar Tree to keep the hunt going.

You won’t have to clip any coupons to save, but you will have to visit a Dollar General store in person to hunt for these penny deals. In addition to the penny items, new clearance markdowns are added each week. These items are worth keeping an eye on because their discounts increase weekly until they eventually reach just $0.01.

Ready to become a penny-shopping pro? We’ll help you learn where penny items might be located in your store, how to find them, how to double-check prices, and what to say to your cashier. Move over, basic couponing at Dollar General ; the Penny List is where the real action is.

This Week's Dollar General Penny List

We update this post with new Dollar General Penny List items weekly. Look for the newest list each Monday afternoon. Note that penny items aren’t guaranteed at every location. What rings up as a penny at one store may not be a penny at another. To check, use the Dollar General app to verify the price before heading to checkout.

What is the Dollar General Penny List?

The Dollar General Penny List is a list of the specific items that will ring up for $0.01 at Dollar General this week (if you're able to find the items still on shelves, that is).

Penny items are actually mistakes. They're products that Dollar General has marked down to $0.01 so that store employees know to remove them from the shelves.

But sometimes employees miss pulling these items from the sales floor, leaving the penny items out on the shelf where customers can find them.

KCL TIP: Dollar General penny markdowns usually happen on Tuesdays, so head to the store early every Tuesday to see if you can find them.

Want a heads up on what'll cost just a penny soon? Check out the items that are currently marked at 90% off. These deals might stick around for a week, or maybe a few weeks, before they drop down to just a penny.

The biggest thing to remember when penny shopping is to pay attention to the size, flavor, and count of the item you're looking for. Everything must match with what's listed on the current Penny List in order to get the $0.01 price.

Where are Dollar General penny items in my store?

Penny items at Dollar General aren't organized in one single aisle. Instead, you'll need to look throughout the store.

We have the best luck finding penny items in the clearance sections. But don't skip the normal-priced areas of the store either. According to one of our Dollar General deal hunting experts at The Krazy Coupon Lady, you might need to do a little digging.

"It's good practice to check the totes on the top shelves .... people hide stuff in 'em just before they penny so they can rack up. It's obnoxious, but I've learned to check and grab at 90% if I want the stuff!" — Sarah V., KCL staffer

Here's our quick cheat sheet on how to find penny items at Dollar General:

Things to Know About the Dollar General Penny List

1. Dollar General employees are technically supposed to sell you the penny items.

The Dollar General Employee Handbook states that employees should sell you items marked down to a penny. However, be aware that some stores might not let you buy these items when they scan for $0.01 at the register, even though the policy indicates they should. If this happens, you can gently remind the cashier about the policy. If they still refuse, kindly ask them to remove the penny item from your transaction.

2. Grab all the Dollar General penny items you can before you get to the checkout line.

Be prepared to get one shot to purchase the exact quantity you want. If you go to the register with just one item, this will alert the cashier to pull the rest off the shelf, and they might not let you buy it.

3. Whatever you do, don't ask employees to help you find penny items.

Remember, these are items that the employees should have already pulled from the shelf. Don't even talk to the employees about the penny items. And please, please, please, don't call corporate about a penny item situation.

4. Be aware of "Penny Resets."

Keep an eye out for "Penny Resets" at Dollar General. Items priced at a penny will stay that way until they get restocked, causing the system to revert the price back to full.

So if last season's items are still hanging around when the new season's stock comes in, they'll all jump back up to full price, which means no more $0.01 price tag.

5. Use the Dollar General app to check a penny item's price before going to the register.

You can use the Dollar General mobile app (iOS/Android) to price scan any items before you go to the register. Just be sure to check that your Dollar General app is the newest version available before you go into the store each Tuesday when the penny markdowns happen. And make sure you set your location to the store where you're shopping to ensure you're getting the most up-to-date prices.

KCL TIP: Some Dollar General registers aren't updating on Tuesday mornings to reflect the updated price. If that happens at your store, check back in the afternoon or on Wednesday.

6. Check our list every Monday afternoon for the latest Dollar General Penny List.
