Reminded me of sneaking and hiding in the back floorboard of my aunts car when I was a child, to go see my daddy who was in a field at her house plowing my grandmothers garden. I made it, but boy did I get in trouble!
OMG!! I have been looking for a couple of weeks and finally found my first penny item today. It was just the little package of chocolate caramels but I was in shock that it actually existed! LOL thank you for showing us how to do these.
How the heck do you even know what is a penny item is there an online form or something this is very confusing to me but this would do the local food banks so much good
So I work at dollar General, and never once have we received a list of items to take off of the shelves. Not once in our stores history, I even asked the store manager, and she said 'no we never get a list saying the items'. Second, even if we did do you realize how terrible of a day Monday would be for that? We get our truck on Mondays, in other words we need to unload the truck and begin to stock the store. Monday-Wednesday is dedicated to the truck, so the employees would not be 'not doing their job' instead they're too busy keeping the store stocked so you could buy items. And the entire the items been recalled thing is a valid excuse, items get recalled all of the time and sometimes it coincides with when they become a penny.
wow never have gotten a list? thats crazy! wish your store was in my area. My manager said that they have to check off the penny list on the computer so i wonder if your manager just doesnt care.
Christa Coupons as I think you can see from the replies, it's not just my manager. Maybe the stores you're getting this info from are an exception? Or maybe a decent amount of this information is made up?
Coupon Overages: • If a coupon value is more than the price of the item, the remaining value will be applied to the balance of the transaction. • Coupon overages can only be applied to the balance and will not be given back at the end of the transaction. • Coupon overages will only be applied to the store merchandise remaining in the transaction and cannot be applied to gift cards, pre-paid money cards, phone cards, alcohol, or tobacco. Other restrictions may apply. Cash back will not be given. Also technically you should not get any money back for a coupon applied to a penny item. It is against our coupon policy, sure we can take the coupon and give you the item for free although any overages can and should not be given out.
I used to work at Dollar General. Corporate got on our ass for penny sales. We get a pamphlet every month of items that will penny and we’re supposed to keep track of what price drops so we can pull them before the store opens. It’s very easy to forget what items to pull what day. We had a couple of notorious penny shoppers and we used to fight with them all the time (they kept trying to go back and get the rest of the penny items, we by rule, have to sell the penny items by can not allow you to go back and get more.) eventually we loosened up and just gave them the price scanner to run with. We would even help them. They’d give us some sweet coupons in return. Corporate wasn’t happy, but we just stopped caring. It’s a shitty place to work. Glad I left.
Thank you Christa!! My first penny find. I scored 3 cornflake boxes. I was nervous going up to the register and then it worked!!! Thank you for the video and the confidence!!!
Hi, was a real adventure. Thank you some much for sharing you great tips. I will continue watching and sharing your videos and looking for a penny item at DG. 👍
Can you use the penny app to shop at homedepot and other stores that penny sales? Or do you have a list of the items? Thank you for making these videos they are really helpful
I just got back from DG. I got 10 boxes for Corn Flakes, 4 boxes of Fruit Loops and 4 Boxes of Chocolate PopTarts. I am going to donate the cereal and the chocolate is all mine....
I found my first penny item today. Yeah. So exciting!!! Thank you for your knowledge on penny items. I have one question though. I bought two yellow circled clothing items from SS18. One was a penny and the other one was $3. I'm not sure the difference since the year codes were the same. The only difference was the $3 item was a men's item and the penny item was a lady's item. Does that matter?
Hi! I know I’m late but grate video very informative. Btw my name is Christa too and I’ve never seen someone spell it the way I do so that’s really cool! Thanks for posting I never knew this until just now.
I saw some people were finding the frosted flakes and fruit loops in family size as well for a penny. Did you check and see if those were the penny ones or a new family size?
Saw a video were you called yourself a bitch! NO WAY ARE YOU A DOG!! YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL LADY!! NEVER call yourself a bad name. I enjoy your videos. Outstanding job! Thank you.
I found some of the Apple Jacks 🤗, the cashier proceeded to interrogate me asking how I found out about the penny item. She said “you must be working with someone on the inside because I didn’t even know about it.” I just smiled, paid for my order and left.
I think my regular store takes them off the shelf instantly because I’ve never had any luck. I may try to go tomorrow and see if they’ve pulled them yet. 🤞🏻 they haven’t
Thank you for sharing..how upto date is the penny sales announcements i missed the apple jacks one but would love to join in on the reat from here on out ..i worked at Dollar general for a short time but never knew about pennie items..
Christa, don't know if you've ever tried having your phone in one of those clear sleeves that hang around your neck like a necklace for one of your LIVE shopping trips? Might be helpful? Either way, let me know. I'm curious. ♥
Hey got a question wen doin the penny shopping wat do u scan the barcode on the rack it's hanging from or the ticket wit the price and also way color star square or circle am I looking for as an indicator that they are a penny
I am diabetic and I got sugar free cookies bought a pack and the sales person said they rang up a penny and I got 12 packs of sugar free cookies for 12 cents yayyyyyyyyy
I went Penny shopping for the first time today. How come I went into one store and an item was a penny and went to another store down the road and it was $1 for the exact same thing? I’m confused
Don't forget they ha e right to refuse service at any point in any state and can deny the sale. When I was the store manager I did it to every couponer and penny shopper. And no calling corporate dose not solve your problems either. Yes your store manager dose get a list every week of what too pull off the shelves as well.
You should speak on things that you know. It says in their policy if the item is on the sales floor they have to sell it to you. Refusing a sale to someone acting stupid is a totally different thing. We know the rules were all good;)
Um actually any store has the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. I'd check laws not policy.. Might wanna hit your crack pipe again and match your missing front tooth.
Hey Christa, I'm so glad I found your channel, love the way you explain everything. Is Tuesday the only day I can do the penny shopping? Keep up the good work .
Thank you I’ve been watching a lot of your videos I still haven’t tried it yet I’m in my late 50s not real good with technology and I don’t know how to put the penny app in my phone yet
I bought the same once today but mine ring up full price . In texas here . Maybey things are different here . Remember the scrubbing bubbles did not ring up right last week either. Do you thing some states are different?
Not sure I even want to get into this, because I know how people react to things, but it’s whatever. I’m an assistant manager at a DG in Northern Missouri. Our policy is to sell the penny items, yes, but it counts against us. So, if an employee is reluctant, it’s nothing personal. Contrary to popular belief, corporate DOES NOT send us a list of product that’s been marked “out of stock”, aka penny items. So, it is up to the store manager and other employees to find the lists online and pull the items. That doesn’t always happen, which is why some DG’s have them and some don’t. As far as the items that an employee says they can not sell because they have been recalled, they are telling the truth. When we scan an item that has been recalled, the POS hard stops the transaction and generates a message saying that the item ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT BE SOLD, as it is a liability for DG.
Well I know my stores get a penny list from corporate as I’ve seen it and I know plenty of people that work at DG. You shouldn’t have to search for it online that’s bull skit you should ask your district manager to get it for you. I’ve been doing this many years and not 1 DG employee has ever shown me proof that they have gotten in trouble for selling pennies.
Thank you for telling me about the Apple jacks. Found 50 of them & donated them to a homeless shelter..
#ThankYouChrista

Omg I felt like we were on a secret mission with you 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sharonda Jackson I found 2 cases of Libbys Peas 12 cans in each. That means it was 24 cents for both cases. Awesome, awesome!!!!
Elizabeth Baucum wow! I am too scared to get to the register and they are not a penny lol. I need to just go for it.
Reminded me of sneaking and hiding in the back floorboard of my aunts car when I was a child, to go see my daddy who was in a field at her house plowing my grandmothers garden. I made it, but boy did I get in trouble!
Sharonda Jackson O.m
OMG!! I have been looking for a couple of weeks and finally found my first penny item today. It was just the little package of chocolate caramels but I was in shock that it actually existed! LOL thank you for showing us how to do these.
Just got back from DG and found my very first penny items!!! What a rush!
yay! It really is so much fun. Couponing is stressful. Thats why i love penny shopping so much more just wish i had more time to do it.
How the heck do you even know what is a penny item is there an online form or something this is very confusing to me but this would do the local food banks so much good
Thank You Christa , 💘 Love all the hard work you do , to help us save money.
Thank you for taking us along. They have a lot of wagons, our stores here don't let us take the wagons outside. Score

I found my first penny item today. Yeah. So exciting!!! Thank you for your knowledge on penny items. I have one question though. I bought two yellow circled clothing items from SS18.

Just say oh no I thought that was on sale can you please void it off
@@ChristaCoupons yeah cuz we dont care if people continue to void items
I have a Dollar General three blocks from my house in going to try this.
Sweet! Thanks for sharing. I'm going to try it today.
The list is sent every Monday and is found in S.T.A.R.T. If managers do not know about them, then they have been trained incorrectly.
Thanks for sharing. I was able to find 13 boxes.
I saw some people were finding the frosted flakes and fruit loops in family size as well for a penny. Did you check and see if those were the penny ones or a new family size?
I'm seeing the date and the items but is it just that date only or its until they finish carrying the items
Saw a video were you called yourself a bitch! NO WAY ARE YOU A DOG!! YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL LADY!! NEVER call yourself a bad name. I enjoy your videos. Outstanding job! Thank you.
I found some of the Apple Jacks 🤗, the cashier proceeded to interrogate me asking how I found out about the penny item. She said “you must be working with someone on the inside because I didn’t even know about it.” I just smiled, paid for my order and left.
Yeah they weren’t on the list woohoo
I had to work a long day yesterday so I did not get to go this week. Looks like lots of great food deals this week though!
Will the penny deals be for the whole year or no? Thank you for helping out others n my self.😀
I think my regular store takes them off the shelf instantly because I’ve never had any luck. I may try to go tomorrow and see if they’ve pulled them yet. 🤞🏻 they haven’t
How do you know how it’s a penny ?
Please explain better in another video.
You did great in the video.
Went to 4 stores and nothing one store had them behind the counter...
Am I looking for certain best codes or is it the size? I have not found any Penny items yet
I wish I was brave enough to do this🙁 your awesome Christi

Wow that's amazing!! Thanx for the info
Thank you for sharing..how upto date is the penny sales announcements i missed the apple jacks one but would love to join in on the reat from here on out ..i worked at Dollar general for a short time but never knew about pennie items..

Thanks for your hard work
True no wasting plastic :)
Christa, don't know if you've ever tried having your phone in one of those clear sleeves that hang around your neck like a necklace for one of your LIVE shopping trips? Might be helpful? Either way, let me know. I'm curious. ♥
I noticed you didn't check the UPC codes. Should you to make sure they are 1 penny?
Thank You for all you do and i didn't have any luck either no PENNIES for me
Lol
I'm still trying to figure all this awesomeness. How can I tell a penny item from a regular priced item?
I post the new penny list every week when we have one. im getting ready to upload a video of older penny items you can look for if you are a beginner.
How does this work again? I could barely hear what she said
Did you get the rebate on every box of Apple Jacks you bought, or was it one rebate for the entire order ?
Also, how do you find penny items ?
Some rebates are a limit of 3 or 5 but this one was just 1 so I got back $0.45
You are Freakin' AWESOME!!!! Thank you
how do you know if it's a penny item???
If it ring up as the price on the self nd u know it’s a penny do u tell them
Hey got a question wen doin the penny shopping wat do u scan the barcode on the rack it's hanging from or the ticket wit the price and also way color star square or circle am I looking for as an indicator that they are a penny
Tyiesha Huby the ticket on the product
So what did I do wrong I bought the kellogg's family size. It rang up at 4 dollars not a penny.
There’s a rebate on saving star too. For the Apple Jacks.
I’ll double check thanks
I am diabetic and I got sugar free cookies bought a pack and the sales person said they rang up a penny and I got 12 packs of sugar free cookies for 12 cents yayyyyyyyyy

I post the list every week. All dgs have pennies, yes
Thank you
I went Penny shopping for the first time today. How come I went into one store and an item was a penny and went to another store down the road and it was $1 for the exact same thing? I’m confused
That was the roughest buggy ride Ive ever experienced LOL 😂😄
Lol
I have a DG store a street down my house. And today is monday. Where do i get the list
I posted the video here on TH-cam
Don't forget they ha e right to refuse service at any point in any state and can deny the sale. When I was the store manager I did it to every couponer and penny shopper.

Bahahahahah no wonder your no longer the manager your a dumbass
Um actually any store has the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. I'd check laws not policy.. Might wanna hit your crack pipe again and match your missing front tooth.
I appreciate all your comments as it helps the video dipshit. Thanks!
Hey Christa, I'm so glad I found your channel, love the way you explain everything. Is Tuesday the only day I can do the penny shopping? Keep up the good work .
Henrietta Hoskins you can penny shop any day
Kelloggs Froot Loops 21.7 oz family size are also $.01. Got 3 boxes thim morning.

Thank you I’ve been watching a lot of your videos I still haven’t tried it yet I’m in my late 50s not real good with technology and I don’t know how to put the penny app in my phone yet
I love your videos!!!! I follow your other social media’s, still waiting for my request from Facebook to go through!!!😊
Penny shopping like a boss!
Hi christa I went in today and tryed apple jack $4.each box ,I return.
They have to be the correct ounce
Will this work at every dollar general?? I live in Oregon
Hope O'neill yes
So u weren't going by the bar code, just the size?
I don’t understand why one couldn’t ask where the penny items are if it states in DG policy that penny items can be sold?
You can ask if you want but their most likely going to tell you they don’t have any or their store don’t sell them
How do u know ? What items they are
lizzy-b Myers I get a list and post the list each week on TH-cam
Does anyone know if these are ringing up a Penny in NC cause I know a lot of things isn’t working in NC! So please if anyone lives in NC let me know?
I haven’t seen them in the last week so not sure
I bought the same once today but mine ring up full price . In texas here . Maybey things are different here . Remember the scrubbing bubbles did not ring up right last week either. Do you thing some states are different?

I’ve been doing this many years and not 1 DG employee has ever shown me proof that they have gotten in trouble for selling pennies.
What a ridiculous policy. Policy says sell it to the customer, but you get in trouble....that's poor policy
How early do you have to go
Go as soon as the doors open usually 8 or 9
“It’s a secret”....posted on TH-cam
Shan Marie yes you can be much more successful if you don’t ask dg employees about pennies. So I say it is a secret so people don’t do this
