Dollar General: 50% off Gift Sets PLUS extra 50% (or 70%). YMMV

As most of you know, the Dollar General Clearance Event started yesterday.  I only went to one store, but I went in 4 times throughout the day.  I didn’t want to go to any other stores yesterday because it snowed a lot, so I just stayed close to home.

I kept scanning stuff hoping to find some “unmarked” clearance, but I really didn’t find anything that I didn’t already know about.  And, the Dollar General app kept giving me errors and was so slow.  Some items, like the Dial Body Wash was showing full price in the app, so I asked the manager if they would override since the 10% off clearance signs were under the products.  He said that they would.  When I got to the register, it rang correctly though.

Shown above is one of my 4 hauls.  In this haul, I used some coupons.  The sale is supposed to be extra 50% off clearance, but my store was an extra 70% off.  There was also a purple dot pillow in this haul.

The purple dot pillow is following red dot/ back to school.  Select red dot/ back to school is currently 25% and then it was an additional 70% for me.  You definitely need the Dollar General app to check prices.  The entire haul pictured above including the pillow was under $9.  The paper at the back of the picture was a penny.

They also had 50% off “clearance” signs on gift sets and winter wear at my store.  I talked to the manager briefly about it since it’s supposed to be an extra percentage off of clearance, but he said, “no”.  And, said that they were just 50% like the winter wear … and didn’t know why Dollar General would run them consecutively.  Well, UPDATE, today they DID ring the extra percentage off!  My store was an extra 70%, so I got some great deals!

I didn’t purchase any gift sets, but I did check a couple of them in the Dollar General app to verify that they were 50% off.  I don’t buy additional coupons, so I usually just have one insert of coupons for each week, but I still did okay.

I also got some nice backpacks, but remember not all backpacks are included.  You will need to scan them to check the price.  I found that most of the plain ones were not included. My husband said that these sequin backpacks are ugly … I think they are fun!

I also got a couple lunchboxes.

Here are the pennies that I found from yesterday’s Surprise Penny List:

And a couple additional pictures that aren’t mine, but I was given permission to post:

       

I would have loved to find those little boxes on the bottom, but I got some great deals yesterday and am happy with what I got.  Don’t forget to use your $5 off $25 if you are going out today!
