⚠️ Important Update:
This week’s sauce items did not penny in many areas! Before you head out hunting, double-check your local store’s system — reports across multiple regions confirm that these particular SKUs scanned full price.
Still, several surprise pantry and meal items did penny at many locations! If you’re out shopping today, make sure to scan these UPCs in your Dollar General app just in case your area dropped them.

What Is the Dollar General Penny List?
The Dollar General Penny List is a list of specific items that will ring up for $0.01 at checkout — if you’re lucky enough to find them before employees pull them from the shelves!
Penny items are usually products that have been heavily discounted (90% or more) and are now being cleared out. These are meant to be removed, but sometimes employees miss a few — that’s where we come in!
🕖 Pro tip: Penny markdowns typically happen every Tuesday morning, so get there early for the best chance of finding them!

📍Where Are Penny Items Located in Your Store?
Penny items can be anywhere — from regular shelves to endcaps or clearance sections. Use your Dollar General app to scan the barcode and confirm the price before heading to checkout.
⚠️ Things to Know Before You Penny Shop
- Employees are not required to sell penny items, but most will if the item scans $0.01.
- Be polite and discreet — scanning quietly is the best strategy.
- Don’t ask associates where penny items are located.
- Never clear shelves of non-penny items hoping they’ll ring up $0.01 — always confirm first!
