Dollar General Saturday Scenarios for 03/22/2025

Dollar General Saturday Scenarios 03/22/2025

If you’re planning to shop Dollar General’s Saturday $5/$25 event on March 22, 2025, here’s everything you need to know to maximize your savings! Stacking coupons and instant savings can make for some incredible deals, but there are a few key rules and tips you must follow to ensure everything works smoothly at checkout.

Important Dollar General Couponing Rules

✅ Not Everyone Gets the Same Coupons – If you see a coupon listed in a scenario that you don’t have, click on the item in the DG App to check if a coupon attaches. If you’ve already used a digital coupon, you won’t get another one until a new round becomes available.

✅ Check the App for Inclusions – Sale items, including their sizes and flavors, vary. Always double-check your app for what’s included in the sale before heading to the register.

✅ Your $25.00 Threshold Must Be Met:

BEFORE manufacturer coupons
AFTER instant savings (Example: If you have a Save $3 on $15 Scott deal, you must spend $28 before manufacturer coupons.)
AFTER sale prices (Example: If Sodas are $3/$13, your total must reflect the sale price.)
BEFORE TAX

✅ Instant Savings Comes Off Automatically – No coupons are needed for instant savings. However, since instant savings lower your subtotal, you need to factor them in when calculating your final total.

✅ New System Stores Require Extra Coverage – Store coupons, such as $3 off Gain Detergent or $3 off Tide Detergent, need to be covered in new system stores. If you have a $3 off Tide coupon, you’ll need to spend at least $28 for your $5/$25 to apply.

✅ What Will and Won’t Stack? ✔️ $5/$25 WILL STACK at both old and new system stores. No paper coupon is needed. ✔️ $5/$25 stacks with Tide & Gain store coupons (as long as you meet the new system threshold requirements). ❌ $5/$30 Gain WILL NOT STACK with other Gain store coupons like $1.50 off Gain Detergent (since they are both Dollar General store coupons). ✔️ $5/$30 Gain WILL STACK with manufacturer coupons on Gain-scented products (Swiffer, Febreze, Mr. Clean, etc.) at both old and new system stores.

✅ Cashiers Cannot Override Coupons – If a coupon doesn’t come off, cashiers cannot manually apply it as they won’t be reimbursed. Some stores are also getting strict with coupon limits and account usage.

✅ One Account Per Person Rule – Some stores may enforce one account per person per Dollar General’s coupon policy. If a store limits multiple accounts, it’s not personal—it’s policy!
