Dollar General is a couponer's hidden gem. With already-low everyday prices, digital coupons through the DG App, and the legendary Penny List, DG offers savings opportunities you won't find anywhere else. It's especially popular in rural communities where it may be the closest store.
Unlike pharmacy stores, Dollar General doesn't have a formal rewards program. Instead, the savings come from stacking DG digital coupons with manufacturer coupons, plus taking advantage of the $5 off $25 threshold coupon that appears regularly in the app. Saturday Scenarios add extra-special one-day-only deals.
The crown jewel of DG couponing is the Penny List — discontinued items marked down to just $0.01. These aren't advertised; you find them by scanning barcodes in the DG App. The list updates on Tuesdays and items go fast, making DG shopping almost like a treasure hunt.
Dollar General's low prices combined with digital coupons create incredible deal stacks. Here's the DG strategy:
DG already has some of the lowest retail prices.
Watch for yellow tag clearance and weekly markdowns.
Clip store coupons in the DG App.
Stack a manufacturer coupon on top of the DG coupon.
Hit the $25 threshold before coupons to trigger $5 off.
