What is a Dollar General penny item?

A penny item is a Dollar General product that has been discontinued and marked down to $0.01 in Dollar General's system. Stores are supposed to pull these from shelves, but they often remain, and they sometimes ring up for a single cent at the register. Whether a store will sell a penny item can vary by location and cashier, so it is never guaranteed. Penny General currently tracks 48317 such $0.01 SKUs.

Are Dollar General penny prices guaranteed?

No. At Dollar General the $0.01 exists only in the register — it never appears on a shelf tag or on the website, and penny items are removed from the online catalog entirely. Penny status is also store-specific, so an item at a penny in one store can be full price in another. Treat this list as a lead list and verify with the Dollar General app.

These haven't dropped to a penny yet — this is a heads-up, not a price. Dollar General has pulled each of these from its catalog while it still rings up at the old price. That pull is usually the first sign an item is on its way out, and the price tends to follow a few weeks later. Plenty of them never get there, though — an item can be discontinued and simply sell out, or sit at a reduced price and stop. We keep checking each one for about two and a half months, then let it go. Scan before you buy — the register is the only thing that settles it.
