This Week's FREEBIES & Cheap Deals: Walgreens, Dollar General, Dollar Tree & More (Week of Nov 3)
It's coupon week, y'all! 🙌 Every week I round up the best freebies and cheap deals you can actually go grab — the kind where you stack a store deal + a digital coupon + a rebate app and walk out paying pennies (or nothing!). This week's list covers Walgreens, CVS, Dollar General (including Saturday's $5-off-$25 basket AND the brand-new penny list), Dollar Tree, and a whole stack of free-after-rebate finds.
Quick heads-up before you shop: digital coupons and register rewards can vary by store and by account, so always peek at your store app before you head out. If a deal is gone at your store, don't sweat it — a fresh list drops every week. 💛
📱 Apps to Have FIRST (this is how the freebies happen!)
Almost every deal below works because of a rebate app. Get these set up before you shop — they're all free, and stacking them is the whole game:
- Ibotta 👈 — the big one for grocery & household rebates (code ABHRYVD)
- Fetch Rewards (use code T8W3Q) 👈 — snap ANY receipt, earn points toward gift cards
- Receipt Hog 👈 — upload receipts, earn coins (code clar7156)
- ReceiptJar (use code KRISUMKGH) 👈 — more receipt points, stacks with the others
- CoinOut 👈 — every receipt counts, even the tiny ones
- Pogo 👈 — automatic cash back on linked purchases (code GDWG8N)
- Frisbee 👈 — receipt scanning that pays (code R1MGB)
- Rakuten 👈 — cash back when you shop online (code KRISTE32527)
- Upside 👈 — cash back on gas & groceries (code 4P5HF)
- Swagbucks 👈 — receipts, surveys & cash back in one place
- TopCashback 👈 — another online cash-back option to compare rates
You'll also see Aisle mentioned in the freebies below — it's a text-based rebate program (you buy the item, text your receipt, and get paid back by Venmo or PayPal). I don't have a referral link for it, I just use it because the freebies are too good to skip!

- Shopping online instead? Walgreens.com codes running through Nov 28: NOV15 = 15% off $35+, NOV20 = 20% off $50+, WAG10 = 10% off
- myWalgreens booster (Nov 1–7): get $10 in Walgreens Cash on digital orders of $30+
How to do it: Clip every digital in the Walgreens app BEFORE you shop, and always scan your receipt into Fetch Rewards (use code T8W3Q) 👈 and Receipt Hog 👈 afterward — those pennies-per-receipt add up to real gift cards by Christmas.

🪙 DOLLAR GENERAL PENNY DEALS — This Week's List (Nov 3)
Okay, penny shoppers — here's the scoop, with the honest fine print FIRST, because I never want you going in with bad info:
How penny shopping works: When Dollar General discontinues an item, its price in the system eventually drops to $0.01. That penny price is really an internal signal telling employees "pull this from the shelf" — it's not a sale. If an item is still sitting on the shelf when you find it, it usually rings up a penny at the register. New penny markdowns land on Tuesdays, and the lists get posted Monday afternoons.
The rules of being a GOOD penny shopper:
- ✅ Scan items with the DG app (set to YOUR store) before you head to checkout
- ✅ Match the item and the UPC — a different scent/size is a different item
- ❌ NEVER ask an employee to find or price-check penny items for you — that's the fastest way to get them pulled before you can buy
- ❌ If it doesn't scan a penny at your store, don't argue — prices are store-by-store
- ⚠️ Stores can refuse to sell items that were supposed to be pulled (like recalled items). Be gracious, always.
This week's penny list — effective Tuesday, Nov 3, 2026
Three categories were marked MOS ("Marked Out of Stock") on 11/03/2026: July Non-Core MAG items, private-brand (Studio Selection) suncare, and summer insect control. Here are the item-level pennies reported across The Freebie Guy, Krazy Coupon Lady, FreeStuffFinder and Crazy4Couponing:

Honest note from every source: "marked out of stock" does NOT guarantee an item rings a penny at your store — some stores show these at 10¢ or regular clearance instead. The app scan at YOUR store is the only truth. Happy hunting, and be kind to the cashiers! 💛
🌲 DOLLAR TREE — $1.25 Finds Worth Grabbing
No coupons needed here — just good $1.25 finds spotted in this week's roundups (availability varies by store, as always at Dollar Tree):
- Cooking Concepts Stainless Steel Kitchen Shears — $1.25 (you need a pair for the kitchen AND a spare for packages!)
- Metal Cooling Rack 16×10 — $1.25 (holiday baking season is HERE)
- Scented Candle in a Ribbed Jar — $1.25
- Reed Diffuser, Apple Cinnamon — $1.25 (fall smell without the fall price)

A few finds ring up a little higher at the newer price points — these are clearly marked in stores, and they're still dupes worth grabbing: Christmas icon glass cups $1.50 (a Pottery Barn lookalike!), glass pantry jars with steel lids $1.50, 4-pk glass prep bowls $1.50, gold charger plates $1.50, and ELLE UGG-lookalike slippers for $5.
💊 CVS — This Week's Standouts
CVS honestly went HARD this week — half the steals list above is CVS. The headline deals beyond those:
- Revlon at $0.24 each and Cetaphil at $0.59 — the two best beauty deals of the week (full stacks in the Under $1 list)
- P&G Spend $30, Get $10 ExtraBucks (Nov 1–14) on select laundry, household and paper — stack it with Tide/Charmin sales for a stock-up run
- Gift card deal: buy $100 in select gift cards (Wayfair, Chipotle, H&M, Zillions) and get $20 ExtraBucks — buy the gift cards you'd gift anyway, keep the ExtraBucks for yourself 😉
- Lysol Wipes ~$0.70 each & Finish Quantum at $0.99 each — cleaning supplies for less than the dollar store
How to do it: CVS deals live and die by your ExtraCare account — clip digitals in the app, and ALWAYS scan your receipts into ReceiptJar (use code KRISUMKGH) 👈 and CoinOut 👈 when you get home.
🏬 Do OTHER Stores Have Penny Deals?
Y'all ask me this every time I post the DG penny list, so here's the honest store-by-store answer. Only a few stores have TRUE one-cent items like Dollar General. Everywhere else, the game is hidden or unmarked clearance — items cheaper in the system than the shelf tag says. Here's the real deal on each store:
🏠 Home Depot — TRUE penny items ✅
Yes! Home Depot is the other famous penny store. Discontinued items step down a clearance ladder over a few weeks, and the final stop is $0.01 — the system's signal to pull the item. Look for the yellow clearance tags and read the price endings: .06 = early markdown, .03 = final markdown, .01 = penny item. The tag doesn't always keep up with the system, so scan barcodes in the Home Depot app or at self-checkout. Honest fine print: the store CAN refuse to sell a penny item (it was supposed to be pulled), prices are store-by-store, and Home Depot has never published an official policy — everything comes from shopper reports. (Sources: Paydirt's penny list, updated Oct 28, 2026; PennyLoot; PennyCentral's community board.)
🔨 Lowe's — Real, but rare (1¢–6¢ finds)
Lowe's does produce penny-stage items, but they're scarcer and less predictable than Home Depot's. A community tracker (ClearanceFinds) logged 143 Lowe's finds at 1¢–6¢ during Oct 1–17, 2026 alone — tool boxes, totes, seasonal leftovers. There's no published markdown calendar and no reliable list; it's a scan-the-clearance-endcaps game, and most stores will have nothing in a given week. (Source: ClearanceFinds Lowe's Penny List, October 2026.)
🏡 Family Dollar — TRUE penny items ✅ (with a catch)
Family Dollar has REAL penny deals — discontinued items drop to $0.01 the same way DG's do, and there's no public list or schedule, so it's a check-clearance-endcaps habit. The catch: stores are allowed to refuse to sell penny items, and many will, so don't plan a trip around a specific rumored item. (Sources: The Krazy Coupon Lady's penny roundup; PennyLoot; FreeStuffFinder's Family Dollar guide.)
🌲 Dollar Tree — TRUE penny items ✅ (with a policy!) 🏆
Big news if you love Dollar Tree: its 2026 policy update says that if an item rings up $0.01, the store will sell it to you — no refusals. Dollar Tree penny items are scarce (most of its "deals" are really just $1.25 finds), but a 2026 list update from Krazy Coupon Lady flagged 9 new penny items, including 3-D Glitter Wall Stickers (all styles) and Glitter Lip Gloss (all colors). Scan everything at self-checkout — that's the only reliable way to find them. (Sources: Krazy Coupon Lady's Dollar Tree penny roundup; Dollar Tree's 2026 penny policy.)
🛒 Walmart, 🎯 Target, 💊 CVS & 🏪 Walgreens — NO pennies ❌
These four do NOT do penny-stage pricing. Walmart marks discontinued items down as low as $0.50 or so, but never a penny. Target's clearance floor is the 70% off tier in its step-down cycle (30% → 50% → 70%). CVS and Walgreens markdowns bottom out at 50–75% off. At all four, the game is scan everything with the store app and watch for the hidden clearance tags: unmarked clearance that rings lower than the shelf tag is the closest thing to a "penny" these stores offer.
