Jack Link’s Original Chili No Beans, 15 oz
A barcode identifies the item, not its price — the register decides that. If it does not ring at $0.01, please just put it back.
🛒 In the aisle? How to check this ▾
- Scan the barcode in the Dollar General app (or enter the UPC) BEFORE you get in line — that's the only way to see the true price.
- If the app shows $0.01, it's a live penny at THIS store (penny status is store-specific).
- Look next to the barcode ON THE PACKAGE for a manufacturer's date like "02 / 2024" — a year or more in the past means old stock, which is what pennies. A date in the FUTURE is just a best-by; it means nothing here.
- Check the neighbours: dead stock usually arrives a whole shelf at a time, so one old date is a reason to scan what's beside it.
- Expect friction: many cashiers won't sell a penny, and it's never guaranteed. Be polite; don't argue.
- No luck? Tap "couldn't find it" so the community knows it's dried up here.
Rule of thumb: a penny is a lucky bonus, not the plan. Full Dollar General guide →
“First carried by Dollar General” = when this item first appeared in Dollar General’s catalog — not how long it has been a penny. Penny status changes at the register and varies by store.

🔎 0 couldn’t find this. “Couldn’t find it” is a weak signal: pennies and clearance are scattered, store-specific, and sell out fast, so not finding one usually just means it wasn’t at that store that day — not that it’s gone everywhere.
Penny status varies by store — always verify with the Dollar General app. How →
⚠️ A penny is often triggered when a product's packaging or formula changes — the maker gives the new version a new item number and the old one gets discontinued. So the item on the shelf can look identical but actually be the new (full-price) version. Match the exact item number, not just the look — small differences in packaging, size, or wording are the tell.
Pricing & info come from Dollar General's distribution network, not individual stores. DCs supply the stores, so items are usually there — but expect some inconsistency unless a shopper has confirmed it.
