Penny Puss App with DG Penny Finder

If you rely on our app for the Dollar General penny lists, the Penny Puss App with DG Penny Finder, it may look a little different to you.  I am still trying to catch up on all the surprise pennies, but the penny lists may look a little different now.

When I first launched the Penny Puss App with DG Penny Finder at the end of 2014 (referred to then as the Penny Puss DG Penny Finder or Penny Puss Penny Finder), we didn’t have a way to check in store prices.  Penny shopping has gotten a lot easier now with the use of Dollar General’s own app.

With the launch of the DG app, the need for a third-party scanning app for penny shopping isn’t really necessary.  So, the Penny Puss App with DG Penny Finder has changed a bit and will probably change more in the future.  We are still posting scheduled lists and surprise lists that we find, but each item may not be an individual post in the ap.  For instance, this week’s list includes up to 3 items in each post and some lists may be just a list in a category.  The price is only $2.99 in Google Play or iTunes app stores.  It’s a one-time fee, but is not necessary to purchase.  You can get most of the same information from our website.

The Penny Puss App with DG Penny Finder, however, can show you some older pennies to look for.  Remember though, there are thousands of items in the app and some items may have reset back to full price now.  That is why it is necessary for you to check with the DG app in the store to be sure you have the right items and that it is still a penny.  Also, you must have the store set to the right location, because prices may vary.

The opening page of the Penny Puss App with DG Penny Finder shows the lists by date that they pennied, will penny, or by surprise pennies.

The upcoming list on the opening page shows that they “should penny by xx date”.  This is so you can scope out the items before, but know not to purchase them until that date.

 

But when you open the category, you can see the items now with “not until xx date”.  When you click on this post, you may see multiple items.

You can browse these items before going to the store to have an  idea of what to look for.  If you wait until you are in the store, someone else could come and grab them while you are trying to figure out what you are even looking for.  The best thing is to get an idea before you get in the store.

Please be kind and do not make a mess.  The items we find are supposed to be pulled and taken off the sales floor, but sometimes they miss items for one reason or another.  This does not mean that they are lazy.  Their policy is to sell what is on the sales floor, so we benefit.  If an item does not scan as a penny, however, you cannot purchase it for a penny.  Please do not try to talk the cashier into changing the price.  They could be fired.  Also, please do not take items out of another shoppers carts or a cart that an employee is working on pulling items.  The rolling carts that they load up or unload are not considered the sales floor eith.  Please leave them alone.

Happy shopping!
