Day 1 of Dollar General Clearance Event!

Dollar General’s Clearance Event started today and goes through tomorrow.  My husband and I were at our local Dollar General at 8 am when they opened as we wanted to be sure to get some good deals.

I used my $5 off $25 digital coupon on top of other digitals and a few paper coupons for an amazing haul!  When you use paper coupons, be sure to have the cashier hit total and then use the paper coupons to it doesn’t mess up the threshold coupon.

Here is my haul:

The beginning total was just under $40 before coupons … and only $13.21 after coupons!  All of the items pictured were on clearance except the Ajax and, of course, the newspapers.

Here is my breakdown:

• (4) Angel Soft Evergreen $1.37 each ($5.48)
• (2) Garnier Fructis $1.35 each ($2.70)
• Dove hand soap $1.80
• Nivea men body wash $1.80

My final price was $13.21

After coming home and my husband having another cup of coffee, we went back to the same store to use his $5 off $25 digital with a Gain scenario.  I spied the Gain softener on clearance when we were there the first time, so I wanted to check for additional Gain coupons.  This is what I ended up with:

Again, this is a mixture of full price and clearance items, plus digital and paper coupons

(2) 24-ct Gain 6.95 each ($2 digital & $2 printable)
14-ct Gain $3.95 ($1 printable)
(4) Gain softener clearance for $1.33 each
(2) Suave essentials clearance for 90¢ each ($1 digital off 2)
Suave 2 bar clearance 45¢ to get over the $25 threshold.

$5 off $20 Gain digital

Gain printables are from pggoodeveryday.com.  I am tempted to go back out to see what I missed … or even maybe to a different store.  I still have at least one $5 off $30 coupon from the bottom of a receipt from last week that I could use.

Happy shopping!
