Penny General is a live, searchable database of Dollar General penny items and
clearance deals — currently 48318 catalog-listed
$0.01 penny SKUs and 50789
items priced under 5¢, ranked by freshness and refreshed automatically. A Dollar General penny item is a discontinued product marked down to $0.01 in the system; these
occasionally ring up for a single cent at the register, which is why shoppers hunt them — here's how to find them.
Prices shown are Dollar General's online catalog price points, so penny status is a closeout
signal — not a guaranteed in-store price. Browse below, or jump to the

💡Dollar General pennies are real but tricky: there's no shelf signal, penny status is store-specific, and many cashiers won't sell them. Scan the barcode in the DG app before you check out — that's the only way to know.

· Dollar General #4188 — Shelby, OH
— 58 discounted items from its remodel.
Store-specific: these ring full price at other stores. Staff pull marked stock without warning, so scan before you rely on it.
Last confirmed Sep 14 — 10 days ago.
That is the last time we actually found discounted items here, not the last time we looked.
A remodel runs about 25 days and the store reopens when it is done; once that happens the deals are gone, so the older this date is, the more it is worth a phone call before a drive.
These are 70% off right now, not pennies.
A remodel marks core merchandise down about three weeks before its penny day, so this is
the stage where the stock is still on the shelf and still worth driving for. Prices below
are what this store charges — the same items ring full price everywhere else.
⏳ Estimated penny day:
~Sunday, Oct 4 (~10d out) — a forecast from DG's ~25-day cadence
snapped to a Sunday, not a guarantee. These stay 70%-off until items actually
drop to $0.01.

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 #4188 in Shelby, OH really selling items for a penny?
58 items were priced at $0.01 or deeply marked down at this store when it was last checked on 2026-09-14. 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.
What are the Dollar General penny items this week?
This week's Dollar General penny items are the 48318 products listed above, each one currently reading $0.01 in Dollar General's own system as of September 24, 2026. The list is rebuilt automatically rather than typed up by hand, so it changes through the week as items are added and sold out. verify with the Dollar General app.
How many penny items are there at Dollar General right now?
There are 48318 Dollar General penny items and 50789 additional clearance SKUs on this page as of September 24, 2026. That count moves daily — a penny item exists only until the remaining stock is gone, which is why a list that is not rebuilt goes stale fast.
Where can I find a Dollar General penny list with pictures?
Every item above shows its product image, name, UPC and current price where Dollar General publishes one, so the list on this page is the picture version. You can also print it or scan a barcode in-store to check a single item.
