What is Penny Shopping at Dollar General?

Dollar General Penny Items are items that have clearanced out. This means they have already gone the lowest they are supposed to go (90% off) and are supposed to be removed from the shelves. When the Dollar General employees do not remove the items from the shelves and you find them, they will ring up just one  penny! Each week Dollar General releases a list nationwide to each store that informs the employees on which items to remove from the shelf, usually to make room for new items. You can find hundreds of items that are on the shelf at your local Dollar General that employees just didn’t have the time to remove, you can find this list here. Every week as soon as it updates. We try to update it weekly but unfortunately sometimes there is not a list.  If you are just starting out penny shopping be sure to check out our Penny Shopping at Dollar General GUIDE, it has all of the information you need to get started Penny Shopping at Dollar General.IMPORTANT: DO NOT ASK EMPLOYEES ABOUT THE PENNY ITEMS.THESE ITEMS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE SHELVES!
