What Are Surprise Pennies?

The best part? When you find one, it scans at just one cent!

Pro Tips for Penny Shoppers
- Use the Dollar General app to scan barcodes before heading to the register. A true penny item will scan at $0.01.
- Do not ask employees about penny items — if they’re found, they must sell them to you.
- Go early! These items usually disappear fast once word gets out.
- Check multiple locations. Inventory varies from store to store.
Why These Items Pennied
Most surprise penny items are discontinued, repackaged, or expired promotional SKUs that DG flags for removal. Once they reset in the system, the price automatically drops to one cent — which is how we end up with surprise finds like these!
