Dollar General Thread

Quote from hunnypotsmom : Dollar general ad states buy 6 sauve products get $2 off instantly(didn't state you needed a coupon!) so if you buy 6 sauve items and have $2 off sauve when you buy 3 sauve products(2 q's)in theory(plan on trying this today!) you should get all 6 $1 sauve items free......

In my redplum coupon book (7/13), it reads "Save $2 instantly when you purchase $6 worth of Suave and/or Q-tips products at Dollar General! (Offer June 23, 2008 through July 28, 2008. See in-store coupon for details.)" Is there a different deals for $2 off 6 item or do you mean $2 off $6 purchase? Thanks!

There were $2/$6 coupons in front of the shampoo. I bought 6 deodorants ($1 each) for $6 and used the $2 coupon and 6 75cent off coupons. The last 75 cent coupon wouldn't go through through. So I ended up paying 25 cents plus tax for the order. Not bad.

Hi Slayers. Honestly, I have never walked in the store.

I went to the $ general today (2 different ones actually).
The first store: bought 6 suave shampoos ($1 each)-$2/3 (used 2 of these)- $2 in store coupon=0.48!!
second store: bought 7 suave shampoos (5 were $1 each, 2 were 0.67 each)-$2 in store coupon-0.50 (used 2 of these)-$1 (used 2 of these)= $1.85 OOP
second store would have been better if i had not gotten the 0.67 shampoos but I loved the scent. It would have also been better if I had more of the $2/3 coupons to use. I will get more coupons and go again!!

Same deal, they just have the Q's in store. They also have Q's for $1 off 1 pantene,$1 off 1 Head and Shoulders,$1 0ff 1 Herbal Essense,$1 on two Old Spice deo or wash,$1 on 2 Olay wash or bar soap,$1 on two Secret deo, $1 on one Tag (body sprya?).

My kids had a blast today, getting Q's for mommy. Just haven't figured out how to use allof them yet.

Yeah, last year being a newbie, didn't know a whole lot. But with the Crest toothpaste Q's I was able to donate around 50 tubes of paste, toothbrushes, combs, hair clips, etc. for the poor/children.

It sure felt good. ALL of these came from Dollar General.

I Dollar General!!

Quote from EDMAN307 : Today I went to the Dollar Store to get my Free Powerade and cheap .25 electrasol tabs, and found a GREAT deal on Suave Poo/Conditioner and Deo. I used Two of the $2/3 newspaper CPNs and one $2/$6 in store CPN. I bought six items and they paid me .16 cents. Sooo, I went back and got a total of 60 poo/cond/deo. for $1.84 OOP. First time poster. Could not keep this to myself. My DH is very happy also. DFW area. Went to Dollar General Again today, used the BoGO Suave Q, and the in store Q for $2 off $6 Suave ,and purchased the Family size POO @ $1.50 ea. Bought 12 bottles, made it 16 cents EA. OOP. Used 4 BOGO and 3 of the $2/$6 Q. You might can use other Suave Q's.

Thanks and repped! Picked up 6 bottles of shampoo for NOTHING!

I just got back from DG and picked up 8 bottles of suave body wash. I used (2) $2/$6 and (4) BOGO. I was OOP $4. Would have been less if I had the coupons for the individual ones too. (Like $0.50 off or $1 off)

DS had fun, too!

I don't know what happened b/c I was expecting to pay about $1.32 for my 72 bottles of poo/cond and deo (I guess tax as shown on the register screen) but when the cashier pressed total it went to $0.00!!!

I totally didn't think it was going to be that smooth of a transaction since...

1. The cashier didn't look too friendly and she may have been a manager or something.
2. The DG in-store coupon is actually a manufacture Q so I was checking out and waiting for them to start beeping! Thinking no double dipping with 2 MQs on each product. Nope, they didn't!
3. It only did one transaction, only one register was opened, a line was forming behind me, I took both of my kiddos (one was hungry and the other was sleepy) and my MIL. What was I thinking?

But I guess the ball was in my court b/c nothing went wrong!

Quote from Scrapyap : The coupon in my paper stated "Not valid on 12 ct. boxes."

I had 26 Qs but they only had 7 boxes (12 ct.), I took them and the Q DIDN'T beep!

my mistake

did great myself today! I will definetly go back tomarrow(i found 4 more q's for $2!!) I looked for the $1 items, my store is tiny(going to the new one next time!) and finally found some $1 sauve items, got 3 deoderants, 2 big $1.50 conditioners(loved the scent!) used the $2 off 3, and $1 off 2 and then the $2/6 that the store has in front of & on the end cap by the q-tips $2 off instantly(it says manufactures, I grabbed a handful..heheh..I can use it elsewhere also!) it cost $1+tax for that one, and then I got 6 small bottles at $1 ea, used all the right coupons and paid just tax...not bad at all!!!!
also they have kotex for $1 so I got some of those for free(I have about 10 q's for $1 off)

[QUOTE=RUBY"S MAMA;12093769]FYI

I just called Dollar General. They told me that they DO accept Manufacturers coupons. They don't accept theirs with them.



That is not the reply I got when I emailed and asked (copied from the email I received from them):

Thank you for your e-mail. Dollar General accepts manufacturer coupons along with the Dollar General issued coupon, unless either of the coupons states otherwise.

You are a valued customer here at Dollar General and we appreciate you shopping with us.

Kind regards,

Here is what I asked:

Dollar General Policy Question: I noticed that there were some Dollar General coupons in last week's paper. Can I use one of your coupons in conjunction with a manufacturer's coupon as you can at Target, CVS, and Walgreens? Also, do you accept coupons printed from the internet such as those made available from manufacturer's website, Bricks, Smartsoure, and Red Plum? I have searched for your coupon policy but have not been able to locate it, if I somehow missed it,will you please provide a link. Thank you! (This is a request for information only, I have not a problem with any store.)
