Dollar General is a super popular store. It\u2019s ranked #119 on the Fortune 500 list<\/a>, and it generated more $25.6 billion<\/a> in sales in fiscal 2018.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not hard to see why DG is so popular.

You can sort and filter these free coupons<\/a> to find the ones you need more easily and you can even scan an item to search for available coupons.<\/p>\n With these coupons, you get access to hundreds of dollars in savings every week.<\/p>\n Another useful feature of the DG app is the Cart Calculator.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve all been there in the supermarket where you get to the checkout and the cashier tells you the total amount to pay, and it\u2019s way higher than you thought it would be.<\/p>\n With the DG Cart Calculator, you always know how much you\u2019re spending.<\/p>\n You can use it to scan the items you want in store and add coupons<\/a> for instant savings. This means that you can see a running total of your cart as you shop. This is so handy for keeping you on budget.<\/p>\n With the Shopping List feature of the app, you can plan your shopping and get an estimated total for it before you go to the store.<\/p>\n Again, this is useful if you\u2019re on a budget, as it means that you won\u2019t overspend at the store. You can use the Shopping List feature to search for items to add to your list, and find coupons<\/a> and offers for the items you plan to buy.<\/p>\n With the app, you can also get the week\u2019s best deals at your local store. You can easily find the deals you want as you can scroll through a list view and you can filter deals within the list by category.<\/p>\n DG GO! is a feature of the app that\u2019s available at select stores. With it, you can scan items as you shop, skip the checkout line, and pay in-app, so it\u2019s a very convenient feature.<\/p>\n Most importantly though, you can save 10% (for a limited time) when you shop with DG GO!<\/p>\n Dollar General coupons are sometimes available in your weekly circular and the coupon inserts<\/a> in the Sunday paper.

Coupon overage is when the coupon value is more than the price of an item. So you get money back.<\/p>\n Not all stores allow overage, but DG does. If you have a coupon that\u2019s worth more than the item, the remaining value will be applied to the balance of the transaction.<\/p>\n Most DG stores have a $1 aisle where you can find both store and name-brand items for just $1! Use coupons on these items and you\u2019ll save more!<\/p>\n Look out for tear-pad coupons in-store.

That\u2019s not good for business.<\/p>\n You can find out about it by either asking an employee or while checking out.<\/p>\n So where does the Penny Finder app come into play?<\/p>\n Well, whenever shoppers around the country find penny deals, they share it on the app so other shoppers can tale advantage of them.<\/p>\n At any given time, there are about 3000 verified penny items on the app.<\/p>\n There are penny items in many categories including food, clothing, kitchen supplies, bags and more.<\/p>\n Now, the app is $2.99. But the fact it will easily pay for itself quickly by helping you to practically shop for free at Dollar General.<\/p>\n
