    How many people think this scenario will actually work in store?

    • Ashley

      If you load all the coupons to your card, they should all come off automatically when you type your phone number in. You don’t have to hand them any, so I’m thinking it should work no problem.

    • Nicole

      Just like it shows! I paid 1.55.

    • DeanOC

      I just did it maybe 20 minutes ago and it worked exactly as shown. Total before tax was $1.55 after tax $2.54. May get the hubby to do it on his phone tonight lol.

      • Sharon

        You could sign your husband up for an account, load the coupons, and actually do the shopping yourself. ๐Ÿ˜Š Just use his phone number that is linked to his account when you check out. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this would work.

      • Erica (Silly Sidekick)

        Awesome Dean!! ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Jenna

      I mean… there’ll be sales tax in some places too… otherwise, yes! It’ll work!

  2. AM

    hi, I haven’t shopped in DG before but would like to try this scenario. I’ve just created an account with them, loaded all the coupons mentioned above (including the $5 off $25) -my question is— would I literally be able to walk in the store without any coupons in my hand and everything will be deducted accordingly?

    • Guest

      Just select Digital Coupons at the register when you check out, put in the phone number you used to sign up your account, with, and they should all be applied to your purchase.

    • Momof3divas

      Yes that’s all you have to do. This is the first time I have used them and I will definitely be using them again.

    • Nicole

      Yes. Worked exactly as it shows for me in Texas.

    • Ashley

      It should! I did a deal before and the $5/$25 came off plus all my other coupons (3 maybe) also came off, all loaded to my card and I didn’t have any paper coupons. It should work!

    • AM

      Thanks everyone! So I did try this (kinda nervous) but it worked perfectly…

  3. Amy

    I may try it, but am reluctant because I always have problems using coupons there!

  4. Tara

    I did 8 Herbal Essence
    2 shaving creams
    My total was .33!!!!!

    • Vic

      Are you able to use the same coupon twice? For the 8 herbal essence were you able to use the $4 off 2 four times?

      • DeanOC

        I dont think so, the ones I used earlier are gone. She may have had some from the paper/ printed that she combined with the digital ones though.

  5. Jamie

    Love this! I’d love to see more Dollar General deals on hip2save!!!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Glad to hear it! Stay tuned for more…

    • Nicole Alexander

      Ditto! I live in a small town but we do have a DG. I do my best to come up with scenarios–but never this good. Would love the help!

  6. sunflower2014sb

    Going to try it ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. Momof3divas

    I just went to my store and it worked perfectly. The digital coupons are awesome, the cashier literally has to do nothing it takes it all off for them.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Yay!! So happy to hear that!

  8. Trish

    Anything else good beside pepcid? I dont need that stuff. Any ideas?

    • DeanOC

      I’m pregnant so cant use the Pepcid either but went ahead and got it for the medicine cabnet cause after the regular coupon it was only $.50! So basically its a free filler to get you over the $25 and you end up not paying for it.

  9. jhnicole

    Wow guys great scenario.Glad it worked for some.Awesome.

    • Erica (Silly Sidekick)

      Thanks so much! ๐Ÿ™‚

  10. Lacey

    How many times can you use a digital coupon on an order?

    • Momof3divas

      From what I can see, you can only use them once. The coupons I used earlier aren’t available for me to select again.

  11. misti

    Wow what great deals wish i had that store here in washington.

  12. Renee

    Thanks so much! I was somehow able to get all this and a pack of barrettes for 12 cents total!!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Oh my… that ROCKS!

  13. kristina

    I did this and my total for everything came to $1.03 ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„ i was super stocked!!!!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      WooHoo!! ๐Ÿ’ƒ

  14. Michelle

    Thanks for this deal! I just paid $0.77!! Wow I am super excited!!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You are SO welcome!! I can’t believe how little you paid. SO awesome!!

  15. Brittany

    I was able to get all the above mentioned and a pack of gum since they don’t give overage for $0.87! I was pleasantly surprised!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      ๐Ÿ‘

  16. Alli

    Thanks for this! My stores were all out of herbal essence so I just bought a twin air wick oil and clipped the $1.25 coupon. I needed some so it worked out.

  17. diana

    I only paid .70!! Thank you so much!!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Yay!! You are so welcome!

  18. Dani

    Thank u my total was .93

  19. 4Ella

    Just got it, still sitting in my car and it worked perfectly. The girl at the register was so surprised that she works there and didn’t know about the coupons. thank you

  20. Trish

    My trip was a bust razors were gone. Herbal essence could not use digital coupon because they were on sale. what a joke. Glad some were able to get it.

  21. Rachel

    This worked great at my store!! The cashier was like this couldn’t be right. . .lol. My husband decided to make the same run.

  22. sunflower2014sb

    It worked for me, with the exception of the Herbal Essence (2/$5.00) was out of stock, so I was thankful I added a few extra digital coupons. I made up the difference ($5.00) by getting a Gain dish detergent $1.00, Dawn dish detergent $1.00, 2 Fun Size Snicker packs 2/ $1.00 each and a St. Ives Body Wash $2.00 used the digital coupons for each. That did add $1.50 to my total, but 10 items for less than $6.00, incl. tax is great! So thanks for posting it! ๐Ÿ™‚

  23. Denise

    Thank you! I only found 1 razor so used the digital $3/1 instead and was a little under the needed $25 (was at $21). My son wanted a toy with his b-day money so it worked out fine ๐Ÿ™‚ AWESOME POST! Minus his toy and tax I paid 1.52.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Great deal Denise! YW!

  24. Kerri

    Thanks to all. Got everything except pepcid. Paid $1.39. So happy. I get really nervous and anxious. So afraid i grabbed wrong things or coupon wont work. So afraid to hold up line…(we’ve all been there lol.)Went in and worked without a hitch. I appreciate all the money saving help !!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You’re welcome Kerri!

  25. eryka

    Thank you so much. Worked like a charm

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      So glad to hear that! YW!

  26. Barbara

    Just got home from DG in middle TN. I added 3 additional items to my checkout in addition to the items listed with coupons. I used one additional $1sigital coupon for a box of 5ct GLAD kitchen bags (making it free from the $1 isle). I also added 2 Boxes of 81mg aspirin for a dollar each. My total came to $4.10 ($6.35 with TN Tax) including the extra items.

  27. kayla

    It worked perfect. I got 6 herbal essance shampoo and conditioners, bag of tide pods, q-tips, 1 shaving cream, and a bathing suit for myself for under $7.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Awesome score Kayla!

  28. agata

    Worked smoothly! It was super quick and easy! I would love to see more DG deals

  29. amy

    I had to have my total be $25 post coupons. Ended up spending 21.00. Not sure i would try this again.

  30. Brittany D

    I was able to get everything listed as well as a JUMBO pen for my daughter’s Christmas stocking for $2.08 before tax! I had two customers behind me in line and they were AMAZED. The older gentleman gave me a new nickname…”Coupon Queen!” I ended up showing the two behind me how I was able to save as much as I did! Spreading the coupon love! Thank you, Hip2Save!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      SO cool to hear that! Thanks for sharing! You’re welcome! ๐Ÿ™‚

  31. Suzanne

    I TOTALLY scored this deal tonight @ my $ Gen. in upstate NY! The cashier did a double take when my total came up, lol. In fact we ran home to set up a $ Gen. acct. for my boyfriend and went back to get him the same goods/deal and he got the additional $1 off for being a new text customer! The cashiers and even the managers are somewhat clueless unfortunately about their own company’s coupons/policy/deals and I end up talking them through the process which has caused some serious frustration sometimes, but I think they are catching on ๐Ÿ˜‰

    We are still talking about our score we are so excited about it!
    Thank you again Collin and crew for all that you do to make our lives easier and as a single parent, this helps me out more than you know….<3

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Super glad to help you save Suzanne! You are most welcome!

  32. Devilla

    I did it! It worked perfectly.
    Thanks

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You’re welcome!

  33. Amanda

    Got it ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Woohoo! ๐Ÿ™‚

  34. Becca

    Does anyone know who to contact if one of your digital coupons does not come off but it shows on your account?

    • amy

      I was told if the item is on sale the digital coupon will not work.

      • April

        Tour coupon dates may differ like mine did. One of my coupons isn’t valid until next week.

      • Melmandy

        Not sure because it may depend on your store but I had no problems using the shampoo coupon with the shampoo being on sale

  35. Kia

    I just did this deal not long ago and my total was only $. 96!

  36. Cathy

    Thank you so much for this post!! ๐Ÿ™‚ I did the deal after reading people’s comments on their successes and it worked perfectly! I paid $0.96!!!! The lady behind me was so impressed! I told her to check out the mobile coupons that Dollar General offers. ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      That’s awesome! You’re welcome Cathy! ๐Ÿ™‚

  37. Kidsallgone

    There is a Dollar General about 2 mins from my house but was closed due to the hurricane. It would have been something fun to do today. Oh well. Maybe next week. Thanks Collin!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Sorry to hear that! Hoping you can snag the next hot deal! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  38. Keisha

    I saw this post and wondered it if would really work for me. I wrote down what I needed to purchase loaded my coupons, and went to the store. I found all the items, but was still a little worried if it was all going to work. I got in line and the cashier scanned everything and my total was $1.76 and I was surprised it was less than I expected. I loved this deal, I got some great items, some are items I already purchase often. It was so easy. Thank you so much for sharing this please continue to share Dollar General deals like this.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You’re welcome Keisha! Happy to hear you could score the savings!

  39. Sarah

    Do the digital coupons work online so I can purchase things online?

  40. Michelle

    When doing this deal check your receipt. I got 2 of the herbal essence shampoo that fit the description of the digital coupon and it didn’t reedeem. And my sister did the same transaction and hers did. So just make sure you check.

    • amy

      The shampoo would not work for me either.

  41. Debbie

    First time couponing and it worked…. soooo happy

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Awesome!

  42. April

    Didn’t work the $5 of $25 didn’t work and they wouldn’t manually fix it. Wonder why it didn’t work for me

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      This deal has now ended ๐Ÿ™ Bummer!

  43. April

    The digital coupons for 5 of 25 they gave me is valid on 10/15 only bummer no wonder it didn’t work.

  44. coupondeedee

    My $5 off $25 valid 10/15 only.

  45. coupondeedee

    This was for yesterday only.. I see that now.. *face palm*

  46. Brenda

    Please do more Dollar General scenarios I have one just down the street and I think they are close to a lot of people. I love hearing about Target but can only get there about once a month or so because I dont have one nearby. I did this deal last night and it worked out great! Thank you!

  47. Jessica

    Has anyone tried digital coupons in the Dallas Tx area? I tried no coupons applied I was so upset but the cashier was sure they had. Paid oop 28.78 I had my plan but no plan b. ;(. But glad that many of you scored such a great deal. About a post earlier go to dollar general website email digital coupon technical support have your transaction number. I did took them days to reply but eventually did they will mail me a 5.00 dollar gift card because they said that i had all my coupons clip . so it needed to be a store technical error. So guess next time I will print them instead. But wish I can save ink. Thank you for everything. We learn as a team. ๐Ÿ’ชโ˜บ.
