The September 15 list had three Clover Valley 12-packs: Cola, Dr Topper Soda, and Root Beer. Treat anything more than a week old as gone because stores pull penny items as they find them.
As of Wednesday, September 23, Penny Pinchin' Mom and The Krazy Coupon Lady both list the same seven current items for September 22. No older items are presented as current.
How the Tuesday cycle works
When a clearance item reaches the end of its markdown life without selling, Dollar General's system drops it to one cent as an internal signal to pull it from the floor. Those drops happen on Tuesday mornings, which is why every DG penny list refreshes early in the week and why Tuesday morning is the highest-odds time to shop. The full markdown path an item takes before it pennies out is covered in our Dollar General clearance schedule, and the mechanics of what a penny item actually is are in Dollar General penny items, explained.
Verify before you drive
The rules below are the consensus from the list publishers themselves, and they hold up. Penny Pinchin' Mom's version of them is the cleanest:
- Use the Dollar General app as your price scanner, with your store selected. The system price is the truth, not the shelf tag.
- Match the list exactly — wrong size, color, or variety won't ring up for a penny.
- Look on high and low shelves, in seasonal clearance sections, and behind other products. Pulled-but-not-shipped items hide.
- Don't ask store employees about penny items. They're supposed to be off the shelves anyway.
- If it doesn't ring up for a penny at checkout, just don't buy it.
Penny events on the calendar
Crazy 4 Couponing's predicted 2026 Dollar General clearance event dates put the next two windows at August 28–31 (Labor Day weekend) and September 18–20 (fall seasonal). These are predictions from past patterns, not announcements, and timing can shift a week or more by region — verify in the DG app and store signage. Clearance events are markdown windows, not penny windows, but they feed the penny cycle: whatever doesn't sell through an event's markdowns is what eventually drops to a cent in the weeks after.
Where this list comes from
Dollar General has never published a penny list. Every list, free or paid, is crowdsourced from shoppers' register scans. The free publishers that cover DG reliably are The Krazy Coupon Lady, The Freebie Guy, and Penny Pinchin' Mom — all refreshing around the Tuesday flip. The full free-versus-paid publisher rundown across every chain is on our penny list hub.
A list tells you what pennied out nationally last Tuesday. It can't tell you whether your store already pulled it. Scavenger tracks local inventory around your ZIP code, so you check shelves before you drive instead of after — if you're new to this, start with what penny shopping is.
