Dollar General Clearance For January 2026

Dollar General’s January 2026 clearance is officially kicking off with brand-new markdowns that start a new clearance cycle. These items are now entering clearance as of January 2026, meaning they are the first wave of products that will carry through upcoming Dollar General clearance events throughout the year. While clearance sales may happen later, these items are already marked down and positioned to receive additional discounts during future clearance events, making now the perfect time to start tracking what’s been reduced.

What Does “New Markdowns” Mean?

When Dollar General marks items down for the first time:

• They are added to the clearance system
• Prices will continue to drop over time
• They qualify for extra 50% off during clearance events
• Some may eventually penny out if they are not pulled

This is your early heads-up to start scanning shelves now.

Categories to Watch Closely

From what we’re seeing, this batch includes:

• Seasonal cleaners and dish soap
• Freeze-dried candy
• Health, first aid, and pain relief items
• Lice treatments, patches, and medical supplies

These categories tend to sell fast once clearance events begin, especially health and household essentials.
