Dollar General Releases New Penny List, Shoppers and Staff Take Note
Dollar General published a new penny list on November 18, 2025, featuring dozens of deeply discounted clearance items with UPCs for verification. The list matters to employees because it can drive customer visits, increase price checks and scanning questions, and create added workload for store teams handling unexpected markdowns.
Dollar General posted a new penny list on November 18, 2025. The announcement included a reminder to verify pricing with the company app and a selection of items and UPCs shoppers might find marked at one cent at participating stores.
Selected items on the list included Clover Valley Fruit Cocktail 30 ounce UPC 6923917200124, Clover Valley Salt Seasoned 8 ounce UPC 76114750018, Clover Valley Dry Mix Sloppy Joe 1.25 ounce UPC 76114605028, Clover Valley Gelatin Sugar Free Strawberry 0.3 ounce UPC 194888000099, Eagle Milk Evaporated 12 ounce UPC 652729200010, Gentle Steps Cream Eczema 5 ounce UPC 72785136670, Hidden Valley Dry Recipe Mix Buffalo Ranch 1 ounce UPC 71100480016, Orajel Tbrush Tpaste Cocomelon 1 count UPC 310310998912, and Pioneer Gravy Mix Roasted Pork 1.41 ounce UPC 41460399945. A set of surprise penny items called out in the same post included Betty Crocker Blueberry Muffin Pouch 6.5 ounce UPC 16000302303, Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Muffin Mix 6.5 ounce UPC 16000305007, Betty Crocker Super Moist Party Rainbow Chip Cake Mix 13.25 ounce UPC 16000207578, Betty Crocker Original Rainbow Chip Frosting 16 ounce UPC 16000460706, and Morton Iodized Salt 26 ounce UPC 24600010030. TheFreebieGuy who circulated the list flagged affiliate links and noted that shoppers should verify prices in store, and the post linked to Dollar General product pages for UPC confirmation.
For store employees managers and hourly staff the arrival of a penny list tends to change day to day operations. Cashiers often face more price checks and scanning questions when customers look for marked items, while floor staff may be asked to pull or locate specific UPCs. Supervisors may need to handle customer service issues and authorizations when app scanner readings and register prices do not match. Stores also must manage inventory and merchandising adjustments that accompany clearance activity.
Workers who deal with pricing and customer interactions should expect higher foot traffic around posted penny drops and keep the Dollar General app and UPC references handy to resolve disputes quickly. The original post contains the full surprise penny list and UPCs for employees and shoppers who want to verify individual products.
