Are these 2026 Dollar General clearance dates confirmed?

No—these are predictions based on historical patterns. Always verify in the DG app, with store signage, and Crazy For Couponing updates before shopping.

What’s the difference between Core and Seasonal clearance?

Core is everyday assortments (household, beauty, cleaning, etc.). Seasonal is tied to holidays/specific seasons. Both can participate in multi-day clearance events.

How do I confirm pricing at my store?

Use the Dollar General app’s barcode scanner with your correct store selected. The register is the final authority if app and POS differ.

Can I stack coupons during clearance?

Yes where eligible. Clip DG digital coupons, watch for $5/$25 Saturdays, and check for instant savings. Manufacturer coupons may not attach to all clearance items.

Do dates vary by region?

They can. Some events are select-store only or shift by a week. Check your local store, the DG app, and Crazy For Couponing for current details.
