You May Be Able to Get a Box of Freebies Like This Reader Did – Here’s How!
This reader scored some freebies thanks to pOpshelf Rewards.
Did you know that Dollar General opened a line of stores that sell affordable, but on-trend, products? The store is called pOpshelf, and unlike Dollar General which stocks a lot of basic necessities, it focuses heavily on home decor and beauty products. You can usually find some great deals here for $5 or less.
One reason to visit the store is that pOpshelf has a rewards program where you can score a box of items at no cost. This week’s Happy Friday reader, Lily, took advantage of the rewards offer to snag some free products.
Here’s how Lily got her box of freebies!
“Popshelf has a program that gives you a free rewards box when you sign up. My store is often out of them, but I lucked out last time. I didn’t have to make a purchase. They have several box options, but it really depends on what your store has in stock.”
“I chose the crafter box. The cardboard box is the cutest thing. I want to keep it, but have no idea what I’ll do with it. The contents are definitely underwhelming compared to some of the unboxings I’ve seen online. I’d probably suggest people try a different box or even watch some unboxings before choosing.
Still, I’ll likely use the paint and brushes to paint plain embroidery hoops for my cross stitch Christmas gifts. Underwhelming or not, I love the offer and the mystery of it.”
Way to score a freebie, Lily! 🙌

My Pop Shelf has their holiday at 90% off. I purchased holiday gift bags for a dime each.
SWEET! Thanks for letting us know about the Holiday clearance you spotted at your store! 🙌
Wow I have wanted to ck out this store and here is a great excuse. Thanks!
You’re SO welcome Ihearthip! Happy shopping! 🛍️💕
Does anyone know the best day/time to snag one of the boxes? Our store is a nearly 25 min drive and I wasn’t a rewards member the first trip out there or told about it. Today, they were completely out and the cashier had no idea when they’d restock (or they prob are supposed to say that.) I’ll be honest, this kind of felt like an Ollies/Big Lots meets Five & Below, mixed with Dollar tree. I’d love to hear other people’s opinions and tips for a 3rd try 🙂
I am a big fan of self checkout and use it whenever it is offered. Just letting others know that they do not have cashiers. You have to scan and bag your own items.
Thanks for mentioning that, Tracy! 🤗 Good to know that they don’t have cashiers!
Ours has 1 station for the cashier and then the elf checkout stations just like our 5 & Below. So yes, it’s primarily self checkout and maybe they frown on people coming up there but they rang my stuff up for me lol. They just didn’t offer me any information to really help. The overall experience was meh but that’s first impressions.
Oh wow no POP SHELF listed for New York oh my not fair from photos they have some really nice items would luv to sign up Oh Well! Hey any idea who to complain to? People in New York luv this stuff
Bummer! I don’t have a location in my area either, but hoping they might expand in the future! It does look like a pretty cool store! 🤞💗
