How to Find a Remodel with Partial Penny List!

How do you find a remodel and what penny list do I use for remodels?  Well, we are here to help as much as we can.  Usually when I find a remodel, it’s by accident.  Like last week, I just happened to be in a local store that I don’t go in often.  There was a sign for 70% in the clothing … but nothing was written on the clearance sign.

I assumed that blue and gray dot must have went to 70% and that I just wasn’t aware of it.  So, I scanned a gray dot and it was only 50%.  Okay, shrugged it off … figured that they got the signage wrong.  But, as I was walking around the store, I saw a 50% off clearance sticker on the vintage bulbs.  Well, that when that non-vintage bulb went off in my head.  LOL

That particular bulb is one of the items that usually pennies during a remodel.  That prompted me to go back to the clothing aisle and check the new summer yellow dot clothing.  And, guess what?!  Yes, the yellow dot clothing is 70% as well as the yellow dot shoes.  The yellow dot accessories, however, are not marked down.

So, this store which is in great need for a remodel, is finally going to remodel.  So, I loaded various items in my Dollar General app to check when prices go down.

While thinking about the remodel, I decided to put up this new post on how to find a remodel if you are not in the store.  It really isn’t so hard, it just takes a little time … and more time if you travel further.  Personally, I don’t go far anymore to penny shop, but some of you probably do.

You can check the possible UPC’s in the Dollar General app, but I find it easier to type on my computer and load them in to Brickseek.  For Brickseek, you will need the UPC as well as the Zip Code.  But the nice thing about Brickseek is that the results come back with a few stores at a time instead of just checking one in the DG app.

You can get the zip codes for all the stores in your store’s state post.

More UPC’s that you can check:

Banquet Chicken Pot Pie 031000101015

These stores will most likely remodel very soon as their summer clothing is down to 70% off right now.  The penny list and penny items in this post are only a sample of what may penny at these locations.  It is best to get a good look at what others are getting and check those items too.  All remodels are different though.  YMMV

The best thing to do is to keep a good list of possible UPC’s that could penny at a remodel and just check your stores! Some of the items are probably worth the 50% off price if you don’t want to wait for them to penny though!

Happy shopping!
