occasionally ring up for a single cent at the register, which is why shoppers hunt them — here's how to find them.

— Dollar General says this store is remodeling.
We haven't found the markdowns at this store yet.
Dollar General is showing this store's own shoppers a 70% off store remodel sale
banner on dollargeneral.com, which is how we know a remodel is running here. What we
don't have yet is the list of what's discounted — either we haven't re-checked
this store since its markdowns started, or they haven't reached the shelves we can see
from outside.
So this is a tip, not a deal list: worth a look in person if it's your
store. A remodel marks core merchandise 70% off first and drops the rest to $0.01
around three weeks later, so an early visit is usually the 70% stage.
DG last confirmed the banner here on 2026-09-23.
We re-check announced stores continuously and this page fills in on its own once we
find something.
⏳ Penny day estimate: from DG's usual ~25-day remodel cadence, this
store should reach $0.01 around Sunday, Oct 18 (~24 days out).
It's an estimate, not a guarantee: penny days
always land on a Sunday, but nothing here counts as a penny until it truly rings $0.01, and
we won't mark it until it does.

Which Dollar General stores near me are remodeling?
Choose your Dollar General once and this page re-sorts every live remodel by straight-line distance from that store, nearest first, with the mileage shown on each store card and a radius you can widen from 5 to 100 miles. You can also filter by state. The distance is measured from the store you picked, not from an IP-address guess, and if nothing is inside the radius the page names the closest remodel anyway and how far it is. Every store on the list was priced individually, so it is a set of measured stores rather than a national list narrowed down to your area.
What is a Dollar General remodel penny?
When a Dollar General is remodeled, the store clears merchandise it will not carry in the new layout. That stock is marked down in stages and whatever is left drops to $0.01 on that store's penny day. The $0.01 is specific to the remodeling store — the same item rings full price at other Dollar Generals, which is why a remodel penny has to be checked by store rather than looked up on a national list.
How long does a Dollar General remodel sale last?
It runs on a clock of about 25 days. Core merchandise drops to 70% off on day 1 (a Thursday), frozen and refrigerated stock follows around day 12 if those departments are part of the reset, and the remainder pennies on the fourth Sunday. Not every remodel includes every stage, so verify prices in the store rather than assuming the calendar.
Is Dollar General #3137 in Strasburg, OH really selling items for a penny?
0 items were priced at $0.01 or deeply marked down at this store when it was last checked on 2026-09-23T20:53:40+00:00. Prices come from Dollar General's own published pricing, not from a shopper report. Staff are supposed to pull pennied stock from the shelf, so an item can be gone before you reach it — the register is the only proof, and nothing here is a guarantee.
Why is this item full price at my Dollar General?
Because remodel markdowns belong to the remodeling store, not to the product. If your store is not being remodeled, the item rings its normal price and that is correct behaviour, not an error. Use the store list to find the nearest store that is actually in a remodel.
How do you know which stores are remodeling?
Each store is priced directly against Dollar General's own catalog and compared with control stores that are not remodeling. A store counts as remodeling only when its prices are discounted where the controls are not, so the list is measured rather than reported, and stores drop off automatically once their discounts end.
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 48318 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.
How often is Penny General updated?
Penny General is updated continuously throughout the day. The data on this page was last updated 2026-09-24. Items that drop off the penny/clearance list are automatically removed.
What is the difference between penny items and clearance items?
Penny items are priced at $0.01. Clearance items here are everything else priced under 5¢ — roughly 2471 near-penny SKUs. Use the price filters above the grid to switch between them.
How do I find penny items at Dollar General?
Search this database by product name or filter by category, note the SKU, then verify with the Dollar General app at your local Dollar General. Pennies are never advertised in-store; this catalog surfaces the current discontinued/closeout SKUs so you know what to look for.
