    I went this morning and they had their toys marked down to $.25. I bought what would have normally been $50 worth of toys for a whopping $5.25. I am stocked up for birthdays and baby showers for the next year!

    • paula

      I was curious, I got alot of toys but nothing for a baby shower. What did you get that you could use for a shower?

    what happened to the free candle post?

    • Lizz

      I heard it was a scam. Kind of worried now since i entered my info. Has anyone heard anything else about this?

      • Bridgette Mc

        Me, too!

      If you go to the Salt City candle outlet page on facebook, they have the free candle option listed and you can enter that way. If it was a scam, I don’t think they would have it on their page.

    Yes! I just got back from a DG & all their Christmas stuff is $.25. My store also had all gold star toys for $.25…just be careful-have the cashier scan your toys first. I had many that were considered “bronze” stars and they were full price. I swear they were like one color shade off from their ‘gold’ stars-LOL. I did pick up some good stuff-awesome start for Toys for Tots & my Operation Christmas Child boxes!!

    I scored 8 decorated hard cardboard gift boxes (the size of shoe boxes), 10 packages of gift bags (8 in each pack), 4 packages of white gift boxes (3 in each pack), 4 glade scented oil candle refills, and 2 boxes of Betty Crocker candy sprinkles (each with 4 bottles)….all for a grand total of $6.91!

    I picked up a wreath, a poinsettia (fake, obviously), a card holder decoration, a couple of picture frames and some baking goodies. My store had lots of gift boxes left. I may go back tomorrow and get some if they still have them.

    Woo Hoo! I scored Glade Christmas motiff large sprays in cinnamon apple and warm baked apple pie that I use all year long. Just a quarter!

  11. Angela

  12. Trin

    At the two stores in my area there wasn’t much left this morning, but I did score 3 sets of pixos for the birthday closet for a quarter each (reg. $15 each). Score! 🙂 The lady in front of me had the cutest large nutcracker decoration for the front door — so jealous!

  13. angel

    Can anyone one post exactly what toys to look for? I went in there but didn’t know which to ask to scan.. they had gold circle and gold or bronze starred toys. I was a little confused lol.. thanks for the help!!

    • Michelle L.

      Look for Items with a gold star that are 25 cents.

      • Michelle L.

        Oops, sorry, I meant yellow stars.

  14. Ashley57

    I was able to score some stuff, most of it regularly $1-2. I got cookies, a baby’s first christmas hat for my nephew next year, ribbon, and peppermint chocolates. It is worth a look!

  15. paula

    Our store still had the 70% off sign but everything was .25,cashier said she did not even know so thanks for the heads up,I got a BUNCH of stuff for $10!

  16. Vicki

    Thanks so much for posting this! Oh my goodness, I got 8 bags of stuff for $21! Keebler cookies, Pillsbury cake mixes, candy, cute gingerbread initial ornaments, big red boys for outdoors, cookie sprinkles, tissue paper, table clothes, placemats, rugs, frosting and to my surprise — Glade and Air Wick candles and sprays too!

    I asked the clerk if he was sure that the candles and sprays were included and he said they looked like holiday to him, so ok, I double checked. Didn’t want to seem greedy or get him in trouble.

    Thanks again – it was a great trip and I didn’t even look at any of the toys! 🙂

    Lastly, the Chia Pets were on sale for $4 from around $15. I thought they’d make a fun Easter gift… just wanted to share in case anyone interested in those silly things!

    • Vicki

      Oops — boys = bows

  17. Angela

    I also got 3 pixios, the model wax bendy things, a scholastic baby car key thing, mini hot coco marshmellows, cookies, and more! probably $70 of stuff for some change in my change cup. After work I’ll hit the one in the tiny town next door. Thanks!

  19. angel

    I price checked some toys with gold stars but they were regular price. Do all the toys that are 25cent have gold stars?

    • Liz

      No, you need to find yellow/white/red star toys. Those are 25¢ each.

  20. paula

    First of all the toys at my store that were .25 were the yellow stars. I don’t usually hit it big on the clearance deals because I live in the country, but I do have a dollar general 10 minutes away and boy did I hit it big today. Got alot of games, toys, barbie stuff, tons of Air Wire freshamatic refills, gift bags, and so much more. The retails value was $426.65 and I only paid 17.50. Oh My goodness, couldn’t be happier.

    • diane

      can you show pic of the toys?

      • paula

        I wish I could but I don’t know how. They had their toys all up above on the top shelve above the paper products. Only the ones that had a yellow star under the price and then I found some in the aisle of toys but not many. They had quit afew games, not your name brand ones but others, and some Barbie brand stuff, a needlepoint project, dress up stuff. You just have to look at the prices of everything.

        • diane

          DO THE TOYS HAVE THE BIG LIKE 5 dollar tag on them in yellow is the star on that? sry caps

  21. Stephanie

    Where did you find the toys? I bought $200 worth of Christmas stuff for $14. I didn’t see any toys on clearance 🙁

    • Liz

      DG stores may not have clearance signs for those clearance toys. You need to find yellow/white/red star toys(star sign below price). Those are 25¢ each.

  22. Lynn

    I also found a ton of toys for 25 cents each. They all had a yellow star on the price tag. They weren’t marked down, I was just looking through all of the regular toys. Thanks for the heads up in this post or I never would have known!

  23. Steph

    I couldn’t find the yellow stars on the toys… How do you guys store your early buys?

    • Liz

      See if you can find white/red star toys. Those are 25¢ each too.

  24. Delilah

    I wish I had a Dollar General near me, I always see amazing deals there. I’ve been wanting to buy a money jar for soo long!

  25. Adam

  26. diane

    DO THE TOYS HAVE THE BIG LIKE 5 dollar tag on them in yellow is the star on that?

    • Liz

      Below price tag, there is a star sign. If you see the color of that star is yellow, white and red, do a price check. Those toys should be 25¢ each. At my store, most toys have yellow circle and blue/brown star signs below price. You will probably have to go through all the toys to find out those yellow/white/red star toys. Good luck!

  27. krisoftwo

    That was so worth it. I went to five different stores over the last two days since they were all nearby, and I didn’t find many toys at all until the last store and they had a lot. I got a bunch of toys for six bucks. I thought for 25 cents it might be worth the little extra effort to go to multiple stores, and i’m glad I did. One thing to note, some of the toys may be the same as others but just have a different color star. The cashier told me the ones with the yellow star are from last Christmas, like 2011 I think. So the color is based on when they got the toy in.

  28. Camille

    I had one of my DGs scan the yellow star toys and they came up regular price. The clerk said he couldn’t understand that and seemed sympathetic. He said they might go down any day.

    • Shauna

      Some of the stars that appear yellow are considered gold. It’s sometimes hard to tell the difference.

  29. Niki

    We have four Dollar General stores in our town and I hit all of them today and bought $250 worth of toys for $11. The Christmas stuff was all pretty picked over but I did get marshmellow creme and turkey gravy!!! Originally I was just looking in the toy section but found that on top of shelves there were lots and lots of toys. Grabbed a footstool and dug through with my son!!! We had a blast and have my toys for tots presents and birthday party closet stocked!!! Tomorrow I am going to another town and really am tempted to stop there too!!!

    • stephanie

      What kind of toys did you find?

      • Kathy

        Most of the toys that I found were not name brand. Some of the things I found were this toy engine that has removable parts that can be disassembled & reassembled $20, teddy bears $9 (recordable mechanism was broken in one and horrible in the other but the bears are really cute), 4 taylor swift dolls (kind of like barbies) $10 ea, cute stuffed animal piggy bank that’s supposed to dance (but doesn’t) – my dog wanted this thing so bad for some reason, this game where you move the bacon from the frying pan to the plate with a spatula that shakes $10, this other game that had to do w/balls in a pit, table top tennis games, money jars, binoculars, spy kit, stencils, box of 7 wooden brain teaser games, my pet shop, pixos $15 (as others have mentioned), an erect it set, Disney Fairies sparkle clings, Disney Princess fashion designer peel-n-stick, Fairy Kids magic wands that play sounds, connect & build toy sets. Basically I went to 5 different stores. Some stores hardly had anything & I hit the jackpot at 1. But it all seems that they ea had something different.

  30. paula

    Some of the stores I went to still had tons of gift bags. Does anyone know if they’ll do another mark down next week?

  31. Jennifer

    Pulled up to DG today and everything is 10 cents now! Mostly ornaments, candy canes, and cards.
