There are a handful of rules you really ought to follow.
You shouldn’t text your ex at 2 a.m. You shouldn’t lounge in the sun without sunscreen. You shouldn’t send money to a “royal” stranger. You shouldn’t hit “send” when you’re steamed.
Also: you shouldn’t drive past Dollar General on a Saturday without pulling in.
(Wait — you do shop at Dollar General, right? If not, you’re missing out on major bargains. The 16,000-location chain isn’t only a dollar store. It carries lots of name-brand household products, often priced lower than competing retailers.)
Why target Saturdays? Because that’s when you can take advantage of the chain’s $5 off $25 promotion.
How to Score $5 Off a $25 Purchase (On Anything)
$5 off already reduced prices? Yes, really.
Here’s the trick: download the Dollar General app and create a DG Digital Coupons account.
After logging in to the app, you can add a $5 off $25 coupon that’s valid on Saturdays. It refreshes each week. You can use it on any purchase. As long as you add the coupon to your profile each week, spend at least $25 on a Saturday, and enter your phone number at the register, you’ll receive $5 off your total.
Easy!
In addition, the app gives you access to hundreds of dollars in coupons, which you can tap to add to your account.
Need Tide detergent? Crest toothpaste? Huggies diapers? When we looked, coupons were available for all of them.
After you sign up and “clip” the coupons in the app, simply give your phone number at checkout and the discounts will be applied automatically.
So, to recap: Put this on the short list of things you should absolutely do.
Drink plenty of water. Trust your instincts. Use your blinker. Call your mother.
And make sure to stop at Dollar General on Saturdays.
