Usually, these items are removed from the shelves and thrown away or donated. However, in the cases that they aren\u2019t found by staff, they can be bought up by customers like you!<\/p>\n You see, if an employee forgets to throw an item away, it is just sitting there on the shelf for literally only a penny. Penny shoppers at any point of time can come purchase it and, usually, the store will just let it go.<\/p>\n They\u2019re still getting rid of merch they were going to throw away and you\u2019re getting an item for nearly free. It works out for everyone!<\/p>\n However, it should be noted that some stores will just outright refuse to sell someone a penny item. While the corporate policy is to let it go, you never know what an individual store will do. In these situations, it\u2019s honestly best to let it go and find a different store to try it at.<\/p>\n A penny shopper is someone who finds penny deals at Dollar General. They know all the ins and outs of how items are priced at the store and how penny items can be found.<\/p>\n The main reason you want to become a penny shopper is that you can save a ton of money doing it. Sure, it\u2019s a little extra work to learn how to get started. Once you do it though, you\u2019ll start saving so much on stuff you were probably going to buy anyway.<\/p>\n The best part is that it\u2019s all practically free!<\/p>\n The first thing you need to know is that penny items will never literally be displayed as a penny in the store. They only ring up as a penny to the store\u2019s computer system.<\/p>\n However, there are ways for you to learn what is likely priced at a penny.<\/p>\n When you are shopping, look at the barcode of a product\u2019s tag. Here, you will usually find some numbers or letters.<\/p>\n These actually have specific meanings such as:<\/p>\n So if you\u2019re shopping during the winter and you find a shirt with the code \u201cSP17\u201d its almost certain this will have some kind of discount on it. The older an item is, the more likely it is it be a penny item that hasn\u2019t been removed from the shelves.<\/p>\n One thing you\u2019ll notice is that tags usually have a color or shape associated with them. You can usually find something attached to them like:<\/p>\n You can probably guess that these colors and shapes relate to discounts. Unfortunately, this varies from store to store, so you\u2019ll have to visit your local spot to figure it out. However, in most stores the discount will start at 10% and gradually increase to 90% over a two week period of time.<\/p>\n If you can figure out what the 90% symbol is, then you only need to wait about a week or two. After that, come back and see if the item has been put at a penny.<\/p>\n One final tip on this subject: most stores change their prices on Tuesdays<\/strong>!<\/p>\n Join SavvyConnect Now<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The best way to scan items is to use the Dollar General app (iOS<\/a>, Android<\/a>).
