I went out penny shopping last night after hearing all about the current penny items & sales at Dollar General thanks to Kristie’s Connections and Craz-E Coupons! If you’re unfamiliar with penny shopping, click here to check out my first post about it. I got a nice little haul, and even more exciting, I found 2 new surprise penny items that I haven’t seen anywhere else! (But if someone else has posted these already and I missed it, please let me know so I can check them out and link to them in this post!) Here’s what I found:
5 ID Guard Stamp Rollers – originally $10
5 Black Panther lunch boxes – regularly $8
1 Batman lunch box – regularly $8
3 butter dishes – regularly $8
So that’s $122 worth of merchandise for .14 cents – not too shabby! We also picked up a tube of Crest toothpaste that was free after coupon, two items on 90% clearance that were .80 cents each, and some OTC meds because my husband had a coupon on his DG account for $3 off a $15 purchase; but I didn’t bother photographing those because I wanted to focus on the penny haul and bring you the visuals and UPCs for all these surprise pennies! Here is my receipt with UPCs on it:
And here’s visuals for the individual items:
I knew there were a lot of hidden penny items out there, so I took the advice from Kristie’s Connections & Craz-E Coupons to just scan everything you can in the NCI home area. I scanned almost every item in the kitchen aisle, since the kitchen items specifically are just one small-ish aisle in my store. That’s how I stumbled upon these butter dishes! They’re really cute, and the color scheme in my kitchen is pink and black, so this will go perfectly!
As I was scanning the kitchen area, I automatically started scanning these lunchboxes, and then thought, “There’s no way these are going to be included, why am I bothering to scan them?” So imagine my surprise a half second later when the item popped up 0.00 on my DG app! Turns out, it WAS a penny item. 😀 I thought this was an awesome find – as you might have guessed from my name, Super Coupon Girl, I’m a big fan of comic books! I’ll be keeping a couple of these for myself, and then the rest will make wonderful gifts/donations.
I was also amused by the ID Guard Stamp Rollers, and I spotted the display of them almost immediately upon walking into my store because these are a known penny item. I love “As Seen on TV” products, and I do need to go through my filing cabinet and toss some old paperwork, so I’ll give this a try!
Have you seen any of these items at your stores, readers? Found any other great surprise pennies? Let me know in the comments!
