The new Dollar General penny list goes for Tuesday, September 8. Here is what is confirmed so far, with scannable barcodes for every item.
What time they go
These will penny in the app around 2 AM EST Tuesday morning.
The time to hunt is right when your store opens. That is when the shelves have not been picked through yet and workers normally haven’t had a chance to grab them off the shelf
Surprise pennies
There may be surprise pennies Tuesday morning on top of this list, but we will not know for sure until Tuesday.
Surprise pennies are not on the list that gets sent out to the stores, so nobody sees them coming — not even the employees. They just start ringing up at a penny. I will be updating this post as more get confirmed, so check back before you head out.
How to use the barcodes
Every item below has its barcode printed right on the page. Pull this post up on your computer or browser and scan the barcode straight off your phone with the Dollar General app.
- The app tells you whether the item is still in stock near you– this is not always accurate but it gives an idea of what stores you should specifically check for an item.
- It usually shows you a picture of the product too, which helps a lot when the description is vague or abbreviated.
- And it shows you the price — if it is a penny at your store, it will come up as $0.00 in the app
Add these items to your List in the Dollar General app as you go through them. That gives you visuals to look for while you are standing in the store, instead of trying to remember what you were hunting for.

Be kind out there
Penny items are not supposed to still be sitting on the shelf, and an employee can tell you no. If that happens, be nice about it, move on and check another store! A polite thank you goes a lot further, and it keeps stores from getting fed up with penny shoppers altogether.
Please also leave the store the way you found it. If you pull things off a shelf or dig through a bin, put it back where it belongs. The mess is what gives penny shopping a bad name, and the employees are the ones who have to clean it up.
Before you go
Remember this is YMMV — your mileage may vary. Not every store is on the same schedule, and not every item is at every store.
The store employee does not have to sell the item if it is out of date.
Before you scan anything, double-check that your Dollar General app has the correct store location set, or the prices it shows you will not be accurate.
Check every shelf, check every row,
That’s how deals start to show.
