[7]
deal guy mac granite this video is not
[9]
sponsored in any way i'm going to bring
[11]
you inside my local dollar generals to
[13]
show you how to find items priced for
[15]
zero dollars i'll explain how to penny
[18]
shop and i'll expose the truth about
[20]
in-store pricing errors plus where to
[22]
find the best bargains once you step
[24]
foot inside the store prepare for an
[26]
epic treasure hunt feel free to give
[28]
this video a thumbs up it helps with the
[29]
youtube algorithm and my not quite
[31]
developed self-esteem the first secret
[33]
dollar general does not want you to know
[35]
that you should be aware of their big
[38]
savings events and more importantly the
[40]
events that advertise the buy three save
[42]
three or buy five products and save five
[45]
dollar sales these sales combined with a
[48]
coupon that you might try to use could
[51]
actually cause your total to increase
[54]
when you go to pay at the cash register
[55]
i'll explain more about couponing in a
[57]
few moments but coupons for this type of
[59]
event will actually cancel out the
[61]
savings in some cases so you might be
[63]
better leaving the coupon aside or
[65]
buying an odd number of items and using
[68]
the coupon it's very annoying to think
[70]
that using a coupon could increase your
[72]
total but the instant savings events
[74]
don't always work in your favor with a
[76]
coupon in hand the second secret dollar
[79]
general does not want you to know is
[80]
that if you use the correct coupon it
[83]
could technically pay you to shop dollar
[85]
general is one of the only major
[87]
retailers that will allow you to benefit
[88]
from coupon overages that means you can
[91]
use a coupon that exceeds the price of
[93]
the item if you have a coupon for three
[95]
dollars off a toothbrush and the
[97]
toothbrush sells for two dollars dollar
[99]
general based on its current policy is
[101]
supposed to allow you to use that extra
[103]
leftover dollar toward the purchase of
[106]
another product or a credit on your bill
[108]
any dollar general shopper should get
[110]
acquainted with their coupon policy even
[112]
consider printing this out to have on
[114]
hand if you do run into a debate in the
[116]
store but if you read the coupon over
[118]
section it says that dollar general
[120]
accepts coupons that have a face value
[122]
that exceeds the price of the item to
[124]
which the coupon applies dollar general
[126]
does indicate they are updating this
[128]
policy to some type of point system that
[130]
could potentially work in your favor but
[132]
at least at the time i'm uploading this
[134]
video if you do have a coupon with a
[135]
value higher than the item you're buying
[138]
you could get a few dollars back in your
[140]
pocket the third secret is tied to the
[142]
top data shop now any seasoned dollar
[144]
general shopper may know this and i'll
[146]
get to some insider store secrets in a
[148]
moment but shop saturdays if you want to
[150]
get an additional five dollars off any
[153]
purchase that's 25 or more all you need
[156]
to do is download the dollar general app
[159]
and then dollar general will give you
[160]
that five dollar coupon every saturday
[163]
as well as some other highly attractive
[166]
rebates depending on the week and the
[168]
season and i will explain seasons and
[170]
savings and where to look in the store
[171]
for those better seasonal products in a
[173]
few moments shopping secret number four
[176]
now that you have the app did you know
[177]
that you can stack the app coupons in
[179]
most cases with text coupons text the
[182]
word join to dg txt as in dollar general
[186]
text and they do have this information
[188]
available if you expand the video
[189]
description box you'll sign up for
[190]
mobile alerts on the spot and you'll
[192]
also gain access to additional coupons
[194]
that you can then stack with the app
[196]
coupons if this is your first time even
[198]
hearing of this concept also text the
[200]
word deals to that same number dollar
[203]
general will likely send you a two
[205]
dollar off coupon to start your shopping
[208]
spree dollar general shopping secret
[210]
number five know your dots and symbols
[214]
if you are not yet aware dollar general
[216]
uses a whole not quite understandable
[219]
color scheme of dots and additional
[221]
symbols to indicate which items are
[224]
significantly reduced if you see a color
[226]
dot or a symbol on a price tag generally
[229]
that's just a note that you will be
[230]
saving big the dots and symbols
[233]
including squares are often just tied to
[235]
shopping categories and seasons they
[237]
don't necessarily all reflect the same
[239]
percentage off per product i will
[242]
explain how the symbols come into play
[243]
for penny shopping in a few moments but
[245]
if you see color dots or symbols on a
[247]
price tag that is your first indication
[249]
that this item is reduced or possibly
[252]
heavily discounted shopping secret
[254]
number six that dollar general does not
[256]
want you to know you can take coupons
[258]
not through the dollar general app or
[260]
through the texting service and still
[262]
use them inside the store on your next
[264]
dollar general shopping spree dollar
[266]
general accepts manufacturers coupons a
[269]
lot of people don't realize this and i
[271]
want to make sure you know that you can
[273]
combine two different types of coupons
[275]
with a sale so if you find a
[276]
manufacturer's coupon online or you clip
[279]
it from elsewhere these are accepted in
[281]
store coupon stacking is allowed at
[284]
dollar general in most situations you
[286]
just need to understand the fine print
[288]
so a reminder that one manufacturer
[291]
coupon and one dollar general coupon can
[293]
be used per item in a transaction so at
[296]
worst if you have multiple coupons you
[298]
could break up your shopping spree into
[300]
several transactions but just know that
[302]
this does exist as an option the seventh
[305]
shopping secret dollar general does not
[307]
want you to know your ability to use
[308]
coupons is often dependent upon the
[311]
order in which you present them i know
[312]
that sounds absurd but to make coupons
[315]
work for you to the full advantage and
[317]
then i'm going to wrap up with coupons
[318]
in a moment know this order store
[320]
coupons or mobile tech store coupons
[323]
need to be presented first
[325]
after that you can use your dollar off
[327]
coupons like the ones that you get on
[329]
saturdays through the app followed by
[331]
manufacturers coupons if you deviate
[334]
from this order one coupon could cancel
[336]
the other coupons out and if you are
[338]
tired of hearing about coupons or if you
[340]
just want the best offers presented to
[342]
you the dollar general facebook page has
[344]
all sorts of advertising leaks of sorts
[348]
i did use air quotes there just because
[349]
this is like the black friday ad leaks
[352]
they want you to see this but you will
[354]
find many of the best digital coupons
[356]
just right out there for you to see and
[357]
then you can determine whether or not it
[359]
is worth going onto the app to redeem
[361]
the additional savings and shop in
[363]
stores so perhaps use the facebook feed
[365]
to help incentivize you on what you
[367]
could pick up on your next dollar
[368]
general shopping trip shopping secret
[370]
number eight dollar general is one of
[372]
the only major retailers that will offer
[374]
clearance items from two shopping
[376]
seasons simultaneously that's
[379]
actually a thing and just for those of
[380]
you that might have noticed i recorded
[383]
this video at two separate dollar
[385]
generals and i'm not sure if it was
[386]
restocking season but you'll see that
[388]
these aren't necessarily the most tidy
[391]
stores or the most clean shopping
[393]
experience that i've ever had but i did
[396]
find good products and two seasons
[398]
discounted simultaneously is the reality
[401]
if you shop regularly at dollar general
[403]
right now i'm seeing 4th of july
[405]
remnants and fall deals you'll see a mix
[408]
of fall and winter deals if you shop
[410]
around christmas and it also pays huge
[413]
to shop right before and after any major
[416]
holidays not just christmas easter
[418]
valentine's day labor day you'll
[420]
hopefully find what you're looking for
[422]
if you do a bit of deal digging and
[424]
speaking of digging shopping secret
[425]
number nine before i get to the penny
[427]
shopping the end caps at any dollar
[429]
general are the best place for most of
[432]
the top decor offerings in the store
[435]
many other stores use end caps for
[437]
clearance or things that they just want
[439]
to get rid of dollar general often uses
[442]
end caps to celebrate the top seasonal
[445]
offerings so look to the end caps for
[447]
what are often the most timely seasonal
[449]
decor finds shopping secret number 10
[452]
the dollar general does not want you to
[454]
know before you get to the bonus items
[455]
is you can shop for just one penny if
[457]
you play your cards correctly before i
[459]
explain how to penny shop your question
[460]
might be why do penny items exist the
[463]
dollar general pricing system
[465]
automatically reduces items to a penny
[467]
as a signifier for store employees to
[469]
remove the items from store shelves but
[471]
they sometimes miss items and not all
[473]
store employees can keep up with the
[475]
entire markdown schedule on a regular
[477]
basis after a product is discounted by
[479]
ninety percent usually within two to
[481]
three weeks following that the item will
[483]
penny out tuesday mornings are typically
[485]
when this occurs before i show you what
[487]
i purchased for a penny let me show you
[489]
how to read the price tag the price tag
[492]
will have a barcode on it and underneath
[494]
the barcode there'll be a combination of
[496]
one of the following codes sp for spring
[498]
su for summer fa for fall wi for winter
[501]
or a combination of two seasons and a
[504]
year if you see a 19 it's 2019 20 for
[507]
2020 and 21 for 2021 before filming this
[511]
video i went online to see what the
[513]
penny items were for my current day it
[515]
was two hostess cupcakes and when i
[517]
arrived at the store some other savvy
[519]
shopper had beat me to the cupcakes so
[521]
with this being me i was determined to
[523]
use my own intel and show all of you
[525]
guys another penny purchase and i went
[528]
through the store looking at different
[529]
price tags i found one tag with a gray
[532]
dot which i don't typically see too
[533]
often at my dollar general and you'll
[535]
see the price tag has an fw which means
[537]
fall and winter followed by 20. so for
[540]
2020 i knew that this pair of socks
[542]
which i wanted to get from my
[543]
three-year-old daughter specifically if
[544]
they were a penny from a year ago would
[546]
be a great grab i opened the dollar
[548]
general app on my phone i scanned the
[550]
product barcode and it showed up as zero
[553]
dollars which was my immediate
[554]
indication the store would likely sell
[556]
this to me for a penny it took me only a
[558]
few minutes to locate one item for a
[560]
penny inside my local dollar general and
[563]
while i wish there was some type of
[564]
mathematical formula to guarantee a
[566]
penny product every time your best bet
[568]
if you expand the video description box
[570]
there are internal leaked memos from
[572]
dollar general employees that show all
[574]
of the items that are supposed to be
[576]
removed that will penny out and the
[578]
stores are supposed to sell you the item
[580]
for a penny you do need to read the fine
[581]
print they could refuse it in some cases
[583]
but before the items end up in a
[585]
dumpster they might as well end up in
[586]
your hands for a penny and you could do
[589]
what you want with them now bonus
[591]
shopping secret number one dollar
[593]
general pricing errors as you've likely
[595]
seen through this video or on your own
[597]
the dollar general app is your friend
[599]
but not only to get the information the
[601]
store wants you to see if you see an
[603]
item in store that has a questionable
[604]
price or if you've held off on a product
[606]
purchase and a lower price might make it
[609]
more attractive to you take a look at
[611]
this straw summer hat as an example
[613]
knowing that this is almost the end of
[615]
august i thought that for five dollars
[617]
this straw summer hat was too high of a
[619]
price so i scanned it with the app and i
[621]
immediately noticed that this should in
[623]
fact be sold for two dollars and fifty
[625]
cents at 250 i'll buy it at five dollars
[627]
i would have passed so having the app
[629]
and being able to seek out hidden
[631]
clearance deals is definitely one of the
[633]
benefits to using the app shopping
[635]
secret bonus number two pay special
[637]
attention to the furniture and lamps at
[639]
dollar general these items are often
[642]
overlooked but unlike other dollar
[644]
stores where most consumer experts will
[646]
tell you to shop only paper products
[648]
dollar general is truly in its own
[650]
category specialty items including lamps
[653]
furniture shelves throw pillows and
[655]
blankets are all fantastic buys on a
[657]
regular basis and if you have any other
