How to get products for 1-cent at Dollar General
A TikTok user shares a tip to get products for a penny at Dollar General but warns not to ask the store’s employees about it. Learn how the trick works.
With more than 19,000 stores distributed in 47 states of the American Union, Dollar General stands out for offering products at a low cost. However, in recent years, the retail chain has been forced to readjust their prices and increase them due to the rise in inflation, a technique followed by the majority of stores and businesses in the country.
Fortunately, there is a little trick to still get products at incredibly low prices, even with the increase. According to a customer named Elisha, week after week, managers get a list of products they need to remove from the shelves. Once the document reaches the store managers, the prices of the products listed automatically drop to $1 cent in the system.

Elisha made the information public through a video published on her official TikTok account (@epelland23). According to her story, the Customers should not mention the list to the employees of the place. “It’s like ‘Fight Club’, Don’t talk about the Fight Club, don’t talk about the Penny List,” she warns is the number one mistake penny shoppers make. Instead you just have to take the discounted products and go directly to the cash register to pay. When the cashier rings up the item, the price will be reduced automatically.
Although the list of products only reaches store managers, Elisha reveals that there is an shopping deals portal called Kristie’s Connections, which usually uploads the week’s list. The document is updated every Tuesday and can be consulted by anyone interested. However, “because some items penny out at different locations at different times,” she says, you’ll have to confirm that the store where you are has received the same list of products to remove.
To verify that the price of the product on the list is really 1 cent on the dollar, and you don’t get a surprise when paying at the cashier, the TikTok user recommends downloading the store’s official app, which has an integrated barcode scanner. In this way, you can check the price of any product from your mobile device. If the reader returns that the price of the item is $0.00, it will be one cent when passed through the checkout.
According to Julie Ramhold, consumer analyst for DealNews.com, the sales at Dollar General generally take place on Tuesdays, which would confirm the small tip by Elisha that could save you big bucks.
