Dollar General Penny Tuesday (Oct 20): The Full List With UPCs + $5 Off $25 All Week

It's PENNY WEEK, mamas! 🪙 Tuesday, Oct 20, a fresh batch of Dollar General items drops to ONE CENT — and this time I've got the full list WITH the UPC numbers, so you can scan in the app and know before you ever reach the register. Plus a surprise this week: the famous $5-off-$25 digital isn't just for Saturday — there's a weekday one running too. Let's get you ready.

🪙 How Penny Deals Work

These items didn't start at a penny — Dollar General marks them down in stages over several weeks (50% off, then 70%, then 90%), and on Tuesday morning the system drops whatever is left to $0.01.

Tuesday is also pull day: employees are supposed to find these items and take them off the shelves. But if an item gets missed and is still sitting there later in the week, it still rings up one cent at the register — that's why penny finds can pop up any day of the week, not just Tuesday.

Two ground rules: never ask an employee to check prices or hunt penny items for you (if they spot them first, they have to pull them), and scan items with the Dollar General app in the store to confirm the penny price before you head to the register. Be kind, be quick, and happy hunting! 💛

Penny rules, quick and honest: these ring up at a penny on Tuesday — not before. Set your DG app to YOUR store and scan before checkout so there are no surprises. Don't ask employees to hunt them down (they're supposed to be pulled from shelves, and what's left is fair game). If an item is expired or recalled, the store doesn't have to sell it. Stock is whatever your store still has — early birds win.

🛒 $5 Off $25 — Running ALL Week This Time

Clip the $5-off-$25 digital in the DG app NOW, because this week there are two windows: the weekday $5 off $25 (Mon–Fri) AND the regular Saturday one. Your total needs to hit $25 in eligible items BEFORE tax — build in a little cushion, because manufacturer digitals can pull the total down and DG gives no overage.

Drink run (works any day this week): Pepsi and Mountain Dew 6-pack bottles are on sale 3 for $14 (reg. $5.95 each). Buy 6 packs = $28 − $5 digital = $23, that's $3.83 a pack.

Household restock basket: Gain detergent $9.95 + Arm & Hammer scent booster $4 + Finish tablets $5 + Ajax dish soap $4 + Pine-Sol $4 + Shout carpet cleaner $6 + Dawn EZ Squeeze $4.95 = $37.90 — minus the $5/$25 digital and the item digitals ($2 Gain, $2 Arm & Hammer, $2 Finish, $1 Ajax, $1 Pine-Sol, $1 Shout) = $23.90 for 7 items, about $3.41 each. Clip every digital before you go.

🌸 This Week Too: $3 Off $15 Air Care (Oct 16–24)

One more DG digital to clip while you're in the app: $3 off $15 in air care, running Oct 16–24. Deal hunters are building air-care baskets that land right at the $15 mark so the $3 digital does the heavy lifting — and the reported scenarios are coming out around $2.50 pre-tax with the right items and digitals stacked. Your store's shelf prices decide the final math, so build your basket in the app first and watch the total before you head out.

🏷️ More Digitals Worth Clipping

• Dove body wash & scrubs — $2.00 digital (the $11 bottles drop to $9).
• Mars pet treats — $2 off $10 (Pedigree, Temptations, Cesar; good through Oct 31).
• Stayfree pads, 28-ct or larger — $1.00 digital.

🧹 Clearance Event Leftovers

And when you get home, snap that DG receipt into Fetch Rewards (use code T8W3Q) and ReceiptJar (use code KRISUMKGH) — penny hauls still earn points, mamas. 😄
