What is a Dollar General penny item?

A penny item is a Dollar General product that has been discontinued and marked down to $0.01 in Dollar General's system. Stores are supposed to pull these from shelves, but they often remain, and they sometimes ring up for a single cent at the register. Whether a store will sell a penny item can vary by location and cashier, so it is never guaranteed. Penny General currently tracks 48732 such $0.01 SKUs.

Are Dollar General penny prices guaranteed?

No. At Dollar General the $0.01 exists only in the register — it never appears on a shelf tag or on the website, and penny items are removed from the online catalog entirely. Penny status is also store-specific, so an item at a penny in one store can be full price in another. Treat this list as a lead list and verify with the Dollar General app.
