Nick (OhioValleyCouponer)Walmart
Dollar General's $5 off $25 digital coupon is back — SATURDAY ONLY (6/20). We built 4 scenario stacks that hit the $25 subtotal with manufacturer digital coupons layered on top: a Cheapest OOP run at $6.50 for 6 items ($1.08 each), a Personal Care scenario at $8 ($1.33 each), a Household scenario at $12 ($1.71 each), and a Food scenario at $15.85.
This week, Dollar General is running a $5 off $25 digital coupon — SATURDAY ONLY (6/20). Stack it with manufacturer digital coupons (and even an Ibotta rebate) and you can knock a full cart down to as little as $6.50 out the door. Below are 4 scenario stacks you can use as your shopping list — pick the one that fits your needs, or roll multiple if you score the printout coupon on your receipt.

Things to Know About the Dollar General $5 Off $25
- It stacks. The $5 off $25 store coupon stacks 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. With manufacturer coupons on top, you can drop your final price WAY below $25.
- Where to find the coupons. The $5 off $25 coupon and every manufacturer coupon referenced below are clipped in the Dollar General app or website.
- One-time use — with a possible bonus. The $5 off $25 is one-time use per account, so pick the scenario you want to run. BUT you may get a printout version of the coupon on your receipt — if you do, you can run a second scenario.
- Watch for instant-savings promotions. Instant savings (like the Scott $3 off $15 in the Household scenario) count as store discounts. That means your pre-coupon subtotal must be $25 after the instant savings are applied — see the Household scenario below for how that math works.

New to Couponing at Dollar General?
If this is your first Dollar General run, here is the playbook:
- Download the Dollar General app and create an account. The $5 off $25 coupon and every digital coupon below live in the app.
- Clip everything before you shop. Including the $5 off $25 store coupon AND every manufacturer digital coupon for the items you're buying. DG won't apply them at the register unless they're clipped first.
- Pick your scenario before you go. The $5 off $25 is one-time use per account. Build your cart around one of the four stacks above.
- Check your subtotal at checkout. Your pre-coupon subtotal (after any store discounts / instant savings) must be $25 or more for the $5 off $25 to trigger.
- Save your receipt. Watch for a printout version of the $5 off $25 on the bottom of your receipt — if you get one, you can run a second scenario on a future trip.
- Sign up for rebate apps before you go. Ibotta pays cash to PayPal or Venmo with no minimum threshold. Submit your receipt the same day to be safe.
Tips for This Saturday's Run
- The Cheapest OOP scenario is the play if you want max savings per dollar. Six items for $6.50 = $1.08 each. Hard to beat.
- The Household scenario is the smart stockpile play. You're walking out with 4 Scott packs (2 TP, 2 Paper Towels), dryer sheets, an air freshener, and dish soap for $12 — enough to cover a household for weeks.
- Watch for the receipt printout coupon. If you get a printout version of the $5 off $25 on your receipt, you can come back the next day and run a second scenario. Free second-shot at this deal.
- Don't skip the Scott instant savings math. Instant savings reduce your subtotal BEFORE the $5 off $25 evaluates. You need $28+ pre-instant-savings to keep the $25 minimum after Scott takes $3 off.
- Go early. DG stores can run out of the better deal items (Axe, Colgate, Scott) fast on $5 off $25 Saturdays.
