after looking in several stores for over 10 years, I have yet to find one item that possibly could be a penny, alone 90% items. With this video, I now am hopeful of finding at least one penny item. Thank you for detailing how to search and where to search.
I really hope you find some stuff! I'm glad you found the video helpful, also just so you know I have gone in a lot of stores and come out empty handed too. Good luck!
I went this morning on Wednesday morning unfortunately I did not find anything in my store. Still had the fall Decour at only 50% off full price. I’m glad a lot of people scored. It’s all timing.
You definitely have to luck out and have good timing to get the penny items. I went to 10 different stores on Tuesday and one store I only found 1 item and 1 store I found 200. Sometimes you get lucky.
This was my question all Day I’m new to this bc nj had horrible $ stores and I just moved to Florida they r wonderful here ..I’m just so confused so penny items are old season things..but she is the penny sale I know it was the other day but only once a season??

I'm going to make a video soon that explains everything about penny shopping to try to help people just starting out. Penny shopping can be confusing and difficult but it can also be a lot of fun.
If you scan the items with the Dollar General app on your phone then you can check to see if they are ringing up a penny in your location. If they say $0.01 or $0.00 on the app then they will ring up a penny at the register. I just put out a new video about how to penny shop at Dollar General. If you are new to penny shopping you might find it helpful.
I’m still a bit confused r they the products with yellow tags what about home decore or makeup and stuff like that I want to go on thanksgiving bc I’m going to be alone so I figured I’d shop also when is the penny sale over and when does it happen thank u so much
Different stuff goes to a penny usually every Tuesday. If something goes to a penny it will usually stay that way for months but sometimes the dollar general system will reset an item in a day so you never really know if it will stay a penny for long. It's always a good idea to use the dollar general app to scan items to make sure they are still a penny. If they are a penny the price will say $0.00 when you scan it.
That's why I love finding penny items and trying to help other people find penny items and good deals! I love knowing that I can donate a lot of stuff without having to spend a lot of money, and I can help others do it too!
They start being a penny on Tuesday and then they usually stay ringing up a penny for at least a few weeks before they reset to full price in the Dollar General system. You can get the items any day after they've hit a penny but they will get harder and harder to find. It is best to use the dollar general app and scan the items to make sure they are a penny. They will ring up $0.00 in the app of they cost a penny.
The Dollar General app has a price scanner. You have to make sure it's set to the right location and then it really helps to be able to look at prices!
Yes, put the dollar general app on your phone. When you get to a store make sure your app is set to the right location and then use the barcode scanner to check prices. If it rings up $0.00 then it's a penny item.
To check if the item is a penny in your store you need to scan it in the Dollar General app to see if it rings up $0.01 or $0.00.

Almost every Tuesday different items go down to a penny. To find out what the latest penny items are you can watch youtube videos and join Facebook groups. Right now the yellow dot accessories, green dot Homegoods, and Halloween stuff is a penny. There are always random things that are penny items too so you have to scan them in your app to check.
I like to go through the self checkout when I just have a few things. Some employees are nice and don't mind when you go through the register but sometimes they end up being not so nice . It really just depends on what store and how the employees act on rather I choose the self checkout or cashier.
They aren't supposed to do that but some employees get angry and make up their own rules. I'm sorry you experienced the negative side of penny shopping. I've had a cashier take my stuff and throw it in the trash before. 🤦♀️
The DG in my area will not let you buy penny items. When it rings up they say they aren't allowed to sell it and void it. I wish we had self checkout. I find them all the time.
Sometimes I just let it go but if the cashier is rude and makes a scene I have filled out surveys and had district managers call me so I can share what happened.
Items that are a penny will not be marked a penny but they will ring up $0.00 or $0.01 in the app if you scan them. There are usually different items that go to a penny every Tuesday. If you are new to penny shopping you might find my how to penny shop video helpful.
They aren't supposed to do that, if your store has a self checkout you might want to try that. I have filled out negative reviews for stores that refuse to sell items before and had the district manager call and talk to me. You can try that but theres still no guarantee they will change their behaviors. It's frustrating when employees don't follow their own stores policy.

Then go to Dollar General and if you see this items scan them in the dollar general app and see if they are a penny at your store.

Hi, I still don’t understand what the tag looks like for Penny items., and how does the cashier know it’s Penny item. Last year I asked a cashier if she knew where the Penny items were, she said, I’ve never heard of it.
The tags of what is a penny can change often. Right now the 2023 yellow dot accessories are a penny but there are new yellow dots out that are 2024 and they are full price. Penny shopping can be very confusing. You have to watch weekly videos and/ or look through a lot of Facebook groups to start memorizing what is currently a penny so you can search for it in your store. Sometimes the cashier doesn't know it's a penny until they scan it on the register. You're never supposed to ask the employees about penny items though because they are supposed to pull the items from the shelf and you are actually just getting lucky if you find anything they missed.
I plan on making a video that explains everything about penny shopping. One of the things people say is don't talk to employees about penny items. When it goes to a penny they are supposed to remove it from the sales floor and pack it up.
Penny items are things that Dollar General is getting rid of so employees are supposed to pull them off the shelf, if the employees miss the items they will ring up a penny. If you are new to penny shopping you might want to watch my how to penny shop video for more information.

I reported one Dollar General to the head office and they were nice and said they would check into it and about a week and half later the store was cleaned up you can try that if you want to return to that store
