Things to know about the Dollar General $5 off $25:
They can be stacked with manufacturer digital coupons and rebate apps.
Your total doesn't have to be $25 after coupons. Your subtotal after store discounts just needs to be $25 or more. If you have manufacturer coupons, you can drop the price WAY below $25!
You can find the $5 off $25 coupons, and all of the manufacturer coupons that I referenced HERE!
The coupons are one time use, so you will need to pick one of these scenarios to use your coupon on for Saturday. However, you may get a printout version of the coupon on your receipt. If you do, you can use it towards another one of the scenarios. KEEP IN MIND THESE DEALS CAN'T BE DONE UNTIL SATURDAY (7/11) WHEN THE $5 OFF $25 COUPON IS ACTIVE.

New to the Dollar General $5 off $25?

If this is your first DG scenario run, here is the playbook:

The $5 off $25 is Saturday-only (7/11). The coupon activates in the DG app on Saturday and expires the same day. Don't try to run these scenarios any other day.
Subtotal after store discounts is what counts. The $25 threshold is measured BEFORE manufacturer coupons and rebates, so DG-issued digital coupons on items in your basket still let you qualify even if your paid total is well below $25.
Clip every digital coupon in the DG app before you check out. If it's not clipped, it won't come off. This includes the $5 off $25 coupon itself and every manufacturer digital coupon layered on top.
Print the Pop Tarts coupon before you go for Scenario 4. Printable coupons are handed to the cashier at checkout.
Sign up for Ibotta and Fetch before you shop. Ibotta pays cash to PayPal or Venmo. Fetch points cash out to gift cards — 10,000 points = $5.
Watch your receipt for a bonus $5 off $25. DG sometimes prints a second $5 off $25 coupon at the bottom of your receipt — if you get one, you can run a second scenario the same day.
Snap the receipt to every rebate app the same day. Submission windows are short.

Tips for This Week's Run

The Lowest Price Scenario is the cheapest per-item at $0.37. If you don't care what's in the basket, this is the math winner — 11 items for $4.05.
Household Scenario is the best real-value pick. Air Wick, Febreze, Glade, Suavitel, Palmolive, and Windex all in one basket for $7.45 covers three months of household refreshers, laundry, and cleaning.
Personal Care Scenario is the deepest per-item discount on brand-name basics. Two Axe deodorants, a Gillette Sensor 3-count razor, and three Crest toothpastes or Oral B toothbrushes for $7.50 — that's ~$26 retail.
Food Scenario has the FREE bonus. Grab a Kool Aid packet or Ramen at $0.50 to hit the $25 threshold — it's effectively free at checkout thanks to the $5 off $25 knock.
Bonus receipt strategy. If DG prints a bonus $5 off $25 coupon on your first Saturday receipt, that's your green light to run a second scenario the same day. Plan your route: run the biggest-coupon scenario first (Personal Care) to maximize the chance of a bonus printing.
Axe deodorant appears in TWO scenarios. If you only need one basket of Axe, pick the scenario that fits the rest of your household — don't double-buy.
Confirm digital coupon availability the morning of Saturday. DG occasionally pulls coupons before Saturday hits. Check every coupon in the app before you leave home.
