What is the Dollar General Penny List?
he Dollar General Penny List is simply a list of items that will ring up for just $0.01 at Dollar General this week — if you can spot them before they’re pulled from the shelves.
These penny items aren’t meant to be found by shoppers. They’re products Dollar General has already marked down to one cent as a signal to employees that it’s time to remove them from the sales floor.
But sometimes things slip through the cracks. When employees miss pulling an item, it stays on the shelf — and that’s when shoppers like us can score it for a penny.
Most of these items have already gone through multiple markdowns and were deeply discounted (often 90%+ off) before hitting the penny stage. By the time they reach $0.01, Dollar General is just trying to clear out the last bits of old inventory.
