Dollar General penny items are actually mistakes — they’re marked as $0.01 so that employees know to remove them.
Dollar General penny items are specific products that Dollar General has a hard time selling. Typically these items have already been heavily discounted — usually by more than 90%.
To make these products easy to identify by Dollar General employees, they get marked down to $0.01 so the staff knows to remove them from the sale floor. But sometimes they’re missed, and this leaves the penny items out on the shelf where customers can find them. These markdowns usually happen on Tuesdays, so head to the store early on those days to see if you can find them!
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 penny items in order to get the $0.01 price.

Penny items at Dollar General aren’t in one single aisle — look throughout the store.
You can find DG penny list items anywhere within the store. I have the best luck finding them mixed in the clearance sections. But don’t skip the normal-priced areas of the store. You never know what you may find.
Dollar General doesn’t have to sell you a penny item if you find one.
Some stores may not let you purchase these items once they ring up as $0.01 at the register.
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.
Whatever you do, don’t ask employees to help you find penny items.
Please don’t! 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.
Related: Another thing you need to master? Shopping a Dollar General clearance event.
Check a penny item’s price before going to the register with the Dollar General app.
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. This will ensure you’re getting the most up-to-date prices.
There’s not a separate Dollar General Penny List app, in case you were wondering.
Note: Some Dollar General registers aren’t updating on Tuesdays to reflect the updated price. If your store has the new system or self-checkout, the prices may not reflect on Tuesday morning. Check back in the afternoon or on Wednesday.
