Dollar General penny items are products that have completed their markdown cycle and may ring up for just $0.01 at checkout. These products are usually supposed to be removed from the sales floor, but some may still be found on store shelves.

What Is the Dollar General Penny List?
The Dollar General Penny List is a weekly list of specific clearance products that may ring up for exactly one cent at participating Dollar General stores.
New penny items and markdowns commonly become active on Tuesdays. However, penny shopping is always a “your mileage may vary” situation because inventory, pricing, and product availability can differ by location.
The goal is to locate qualifying products that are still on the shelf after reaching their final clearance price.

How to Check Dollar General Penny Items
Before visiting your local store, open the Dollar General app and select the correct store location. Use the app’s barcode scanner to check the current price of each product.
Make sure you are scanning the exact item listed. A different flavor, size, package design, or UPC may have a completely different price.
The price shown in the app may not always match the register, so the final checkout price is what matters.
When Should You Look for Penny Items?
Tuesday is usually the best day to search because new Dollar General markdowns and penny items commonly become active at the beginning of the week.
Shopping earlier may give you a better chance of finding products before they are purchased or removed from shelves. However, some penny items can remain hidden among regular inventory for several days or even weeks.
Do All Dollar General Stores Have Penny Items?
No. Penny item inventory varies significantly by location.
One store may have several qualifying products while another store may have none. Store inventory, employee removal schedules, regional product availability, and previous clearance sales can all affect what remains on the shelves.
