Penny Items for November 04, 2025
What Is the Dollar General Penny List?
The Dollar General Penny List is exactly what it sounds like — a list of specific items that will ring up for just $0.01 at Dollar General this week! (If you’re lucky enough to spot them still sitting on the shelves, that is 👀).
Here’s the scoop: these penny items aren’t meant for us to find — they’re actually products that Dollar General has marked down to $0.01 so store employees know it’s time to pull them from the shelves. But sometimes? They miss a few… and that’s when we swoop in! 🛒💨
By the time something hits a penny, it’s usually already been marked down 70%, 90%, or more — Dollar General just wants that inventory gone.
👉 Crazy for Couponing Tip: Penny markdowns usually drop every Tuesday morning, so it pays to be early!
If you want a sneak peek of what might hit a penny soon, keep an eye on items marked at 90% off — those are your best clues for what’s about to hit that $0.01 sweet spot.
And here’s the golden rule of penny shopping: details matter! Double-check the size, flavor, scent, and count against the official list before heading to the register. Everything has to match exactly for it to ring up at a penny.
Because let’s be real — when it comes to penny shopping, we don’t guess, we confirm.
Where Can You Find Penny Items at Dollar General?
Here’s the truth — penny items aren’t sitting neatly in one aisle with a big sign saying “$0.01 Deals This Way!” You’ve got to do a little treasure hunting.
We’ve had the best luck checking the clearance sections first, especially endcaps and tucked-away spots where old seasonal items or markdowns hang around. But don’t stop there! Sometimes those sneaky penny finds are mixed right in with regular-priced products — that’s why having your DG app open and scanning is key.
And trust us, you will have to do some digging — but that’s part of the fun! Every hidden penny find feels like striking gold.
Because around here, we don’t just shop at Dollar General… we hunt like pros!
Things to Know About the Dollar General Penny List
Things to Know About the Dollar General Penny List
1️⃣ Yes, they’re supposed to sell it to you.
DG’s own guidance says items that scan $0.01 should be sold. That said, some stores still refuse. If a cashier pushes back, kindly remind them of the policy. If they still won’t sell it, just ask them to remove the penny item from your transaction and keep it moving.
2️⃣ Grab everything you want before you hit the register.
You usually get one shot. If you check out with a single penny item, you risk alerting the cashier — who may pull the rest from the shelf. Load your cart first, then head to checkout.
3️⃣ Do not ask employees for help finding penny items.
Penny items are meant to be pulled from the floor. Don’t ask about them, don’t point them out, and definitely don’t call corporate about a penny situation. Quiet carts win every time.
4️⃣ Watch for “Penny Resets.”
Penny pricing sticks around until a reset. That happens when an item is restocked or a new season’s stock arrives, and the system resets the price back to full. If last season’s items are still sitting out when new ones come in, expect the reset (and no more $0.01).
5️⃣ Use the DG app — scan before you pay.
Open the Dollar General app, make sure it’s updated, and set your store location. Always scan to confirm the price at that specific store before heading to the register.
💡 Crazy for Couponing Tip: Some newer registers and self-checkouts don’t reflect penny prices early Tuesday morning. Try again later Tuesday or even Wednesday once systems refresh.
6️⃣ We post the Penny List first — before anyone else.
We typically get the list Thursday evening through Friday afternoon, and we’re consistently the first to publish it so you can plan days ahead of the Tuesday drop.
