Dollar General releases March 3 penny list: bath, Valentine, holiday items

“volunteer trackers and deal hunters expect to ring up at $0.01 when stores complete their marked-down clearance cycles,” the Krazy Coupon Lady update says, framing a March 3 markdown wave that clearance blogs tracked across the week. Multiple sites, including TheFreebieGuy and Kristie’s Connections, listed Tuesday, March 3, 2026 as the start of new markdowns tied to Valentine’s and seasonal clearance cycles.

An Instagram teaser for the list named categories shoppers should check on Tuesday: “VALENTINE'S DAY, BATH AND BEAUTY GIFT SETS, SUPER BOWL PARTY, HOLIDAY PLASTICS ... Upcoming Dollar General penny list for Tuesday March 3rd.” Krazy Coupon Lady’s Feb. 17 markdown summary showed the same retail pressure, with Bath and Beauty Gift Sets at 25% off, Big Game Party at 70% off, Valentine’s Day Candy at 25% off, and multiple Valentine’s categories at 50% off ahead of final clearance.

Shoppers and reporters were urged to verify prices at the register: “The new penny list starts Tuesday, March 3, 2026, with new markdowns this week,” and “Remember, prices aren’t confirmed until verified in stores; items won’t ring up for a penny or at new discounts until Tuesday.” TheFreebieGuy advised a practical check, “Download and update the Dollar General app to use the price scanner (upper right corner) to check item prices.” TheFreebieGuy also discloses, “TheFreebieGuy may earn a small commission via affiliate links in this post.”

Kristie’s Connections framed shopper etiquette and legal notices ahead of the March 3 cycle, warning visitors: “\Do not ask Dollar General employees about penny items.” “\Do not call the store about penny items.” “\PLEASE, do not make a mess of the store & be kind to the staff.” “\If the penny list contains food/beverage/medication that are expired items, the employees DO NOT HAVE TO SELL THEM TO YOU. Please do not argue with them about this.” Kristie’s Connections also posted trademark and contact details: “\REPUBLICATION OF THESE IMAGES IS NOT PERMITTED”; Kristie May, P.O. BOX 14408, ARCHDALE, NC 27263, EMAIL: kristiesconnections@gmail.com; “PennyVision™ is a trademark of Kristie’s Connections.

Krazy Coupon Lady closed with a timing caveat readers should treat as operational reality: “Note: Not all stores will penny these at the same time. If yours doesn’t this week, check back next week and throughout the next four weeks.” Trackers recommended using social tags to report in-store finds: #dollargeneralpennyitems, #dgpennyfinds, #dgdeals, and #dgclearance.
