    after looking in several stores for over 10 years, I have yet to find one item that possibly could be a penny, alone 90% items. With this video, I now am hopeful of finding at least one penny item. Thank you for detailing how to search and where to search.

    • @DollarStoreDetective
      @DollarStoreDetective  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Different stuff goes to a penny usually every Tuesday. If something goes to a penny it will usually stay that way for months but sometimes the dollar general system will reset an item in a day so you never really know if it will stay a penny for long. It's always a good idea to use the dollar general app to scan items to make sure they are still a penny. If they are a penny the price will say $0.00 when you scan it.

    So do these penny items automatically ring up a penny at the register or is there more to it than that?

    • @DollarStoreDetective
      @DollarStoreDetective  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      If you scan the items with the Dollar General app on your phone then you can check to see if they are ringing up a penny in your location. If they say $0.01 or $0.00 on the app then they will ring up a penny at the register.

    • @DollarStoreDetective
      @DollarStoreDetective  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      They start being a penny on Tuesday and then they usually stay ringing up a penny for at least a few weeks before they reset to full price in the Dollar General system. You can get the items any day after they've hit a penny but they will get harder and harder to find. It is best to use the dollar general app and scan the items to make sure they are a penny. They will ring up $0.00 in the app of they cost a penny.

    • @DollarStoreDetective

    is there a way to know if it's a penny BEFORE we get to the register?

    • @DollarStoreDetective
      @DollarStoreDetective  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, put the dollar general app on your phone. When you get to a store make sure your app is set to the right location and then use the barcode scanner to check prices. If it rings up $0.00 then it's a penny item.

      The Dollar General app has a price scanner. You have to make sure it's set to the right location and then it really helps to be able to look at prices!

      You definitely have to luck out and have good timing to get the penny items. I went to 10 different stores on Tuesday and one store I only found 1 item and 1 store I found 200. Sometimes you get lucky.

    Do you scanit Or are they marked a penny.

    • @DollarStoreDetective
      @DollarStoreDetective  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      To check if the item is a penny in your store you need to scan it in the Dollar General app to see if it rings up $0.01 or $0.00. If it rings up like that in the app then it will ring up a penny at the register.

    The DG in my area will not let you buy penny items. When it rings up they say they aren't allowed to sell it and void it. I wish we had self checkout. I find them all the time.

    So is it better to do self check out when doing this or let the employees check you out ?

    • @DollarStoreDetective
      @DollarStoreDetective  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I like to go through the self checkout when I just have a few things. Some employees are nice and don't mind when you go through the register but sometimes they end up being not so nice . It really just depends on what store and how the employees act on rather I choose the self checkout or cashier.

    • @DollarStoreDetective
      @DollarStoreDetective  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Almost every Tuesday different items go down to a penny. To find out what the latest penny items are you can watch youtube videos and join Facebook groups. Right now the yellow dot accessories, green dot Homegoods, and Halloween stuff is a penny. There are always random things that are penny items too so you have to scan them in your app to check.

    The store near me won’t sell them. I went to the register and was told “we aren’t supposed to sell these” and put them behind the counter.

    • @DollarStoreDetective
      @DollarStoreDetective  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      They aren't supposed to do that, if your store has a self checkout you might want to try that. I have filled out negative reviews for stores that refuse to sell items before and had the district manager call and talk to me. You can try that but theres still no guarantee they will change their behaviors. It's frustrating when employees don't follow their own stores policy.

      Items that are a penny will not be marked a penny but they will ring up $0.00 or $0.01 in the app if you scan them. There are usually different items that go to a penny every Tuesday.

      The best way to know what's a penny is to watch videos every week on TH-cam to see the new penny items and join Facebook groups to see what people say they got for a penny. Then go to Dollar General and if you see this items scan them in the dollar general app and see if they are a penny at your store.

    Hi, I still don’t understand what the tag looks like for Penny items., and how does the cashier know it’s Penny item. Last year I asked a cashier if she knew where the Penny items were, she said, I’ve never heard of it.

    • @DollarStoreDetective
      @DollarStoreDetective  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The tags of what is a penny can change often. Right now the 2023 yellow dot accessories are a penny but there are new yellow dots out that are 2024 and they are full price. Penny shopping can be very confusing. You have to watch weekly videos and/ or look through a lot of Facebook groups to start memorizing what is currently a penny so you can search for it in your store.
      Sometimes the cashier doesn't know it's a penny until they scan it on the register. You're never supposed to ask the employees about penny items though because they are supposed to pull the items from the shelf and you are actually just getting lucky if you find anything they missed.
