Keep reading for everything you need to know about getting more for less during this upcoming Dollar General clearance event.
What is the Dollar General clearance event?
Dollar General frequently holds special sales throughout the year, but there’s no better time to shop than during its clearance events! These typically occur at the end of a season so the retailer can clear out some of its inventory. While most items are usually from seasons and holidays past, the events also include some “core clearance” products, which are those from the year-round inventory.
The best part? These savings events allow you to snag eligible items for 50 percent off—and that’s on top of coupons and other discounts!
This particular clearance event runs Thursday, October 1 through Thursday, October 8, overlapping with the Dollar General 3-day sale that starts October 1. That sale also includes buy-one-get-one deals on decor and household essentials, allowing you to save even more.
Top Dollar General clearance deals to watch for
Wondering what you can snag for less during the special event? Find out some of the highlights below!
Dolly Parton collection items
If you’re lucky enough to find some of the late country icon’s home decor left at your local Dollar General, you won’t want to miss the chance to grab your favorites. Her spring and summer lines featured everything from kitchen must-haves to pickleball paddles, with plenty of butterfly motifs, of course. You may also find Dolly totes, artwork and more, depending on your store’s inventory.
Laundry detergent
It’s no secret that fabric softener, detergent and dryer sheets can really add up at the register. That’s why so many shoppers have been thrilled to discover that Gain, Bounty and Arm & Hammer products will be discounted for a limited time. And there’s a special manufacturer’s coupon for some items that will lower the price even more.
One Facebook post reveals that an $8 110-oz. bottle of Arm & Hammer detergent will cost just $2 thanks to the 50 percent off clearance special and a $2 coupon you can clip. Score!
Gardening goodies and decor
Whether you’re a plant enthusiast or simply like to dress up your outdoor space, you can find items like garden seeds and gorgeous planters for less than $1, making it a perfect time to prep for next spring. Also on clearance? Garden statues, solar stake lights and more!
Patriotic party supplies
Independence Day may be long over, but it’s never too early to stock up for next year’s bash. With festive plates, napkins and cups still up for grabs, you can ensure you have a jump start on the preparation for summer get-togethers. Then when grilling season rolls around, you’ll have one less item on your to-do list.
Fun pool items
You’ll be even more excited to beat the heat in the summer thanks to the dollar store’s on-clearance pool finds. It’s a great time to pick up everything from goggles to swim tubes, and TheKrazyCouponLady.com even spotted an inflatable kids pool that will soon be marked down to $6.25.
