Dollar General 10/31: 6 Scenarios From $5.25
Six Saturday-only Dollar General scenarios start at $5.25 for seven items. Includes household and personal-care baskets, plus eight food items for $9.87 net after the listed rebates and estimated Fetch value.
This deal goes live on Oct 31, 2026
Dollar General's Saturday, October 31 $5 off $25 coupon can bring seven products down to $5.25 before tax, or $0.75 each. This breakdown includes six shopping scenarios covering household essentials, paper products, personal care, and groceries.
For video walkthroughs and more couponing tips, visit Nick's OhioValleyCouponer YouTube channel. Choose the basket that fits your list, then check the exact products and coupons in your DG account before shopping.
Four baskets need no receipt rebates, so the listed final price is what you pay before tax. Personal Care: Colgate, Oral-B, and Old Spice and the Food scenario require rebates after checkout.
Saturday Only: How the $5 Off $25 Works
- Shopping date: These scenarios are for Saturday, October 31, 2026 only. Clip the $5 off $25 coupon with that date, not an expired offer.
- Qualifying subtotal: Reach at least $25 after store discounts and before the listed manufacturer coupons. Manufacturer coupons can then reduce what you pay well below $25.
- One store coupon per eligible use: Pick one scenario for your one-time digital coupon. Do not treat all six baskets as repeatable purchases on the same offer.
- Product coupons can be one-time use too: A printed receipt coupon, if you receive an eligible one, does not restore manufacturer coupons or rebates already redeemed.
- Check local prices: Scan products in the app with your store selected. If the qualifying subtotal falls below $25, adjust the basket before checkout.
- Use the exact qualifying products: Sizes, varieties, package counts, and barcode eligibility matter. Do not assume every Colgate, Oral-B, Febreze, or Dawn product qualifies.
- Taxes are separate: Every total here excludes tax. The listed quantities already meet the threshold at the stated prices, so no filler is needed unless your local prices differ.
DG allows one manufacturer coupon and one Dollar General coupon per item when neither prohibits combining them; two manufacturer coupons cannot be used on the same item (Dollar General coupon policy). Rebate apps have their own restrictions, so confirm those terms separately.
Apps and Coupons You'll Need
- Dollar General: Clip the October 31 $5 off $25 store coupon and the matching product digital coupons for your chosen basket.
- Ibotta: Personal Care: Colgate, Oral-B, and Old Spice uses a $4-on-two Old Spice rebate. The Food basket uses two $1.50 Oscar Mayer rebates and two $1.50 Klondike rebates.
- Fetch: The Food basket includes 1,000 points for two Pillsbury products and 1,000 points per Klondike box, twice.
Fetch values are rounded estimates toward a $5 Walmart gift card, using roughly 7,000 points as the benchmark. Your available reward and redemption value may differ; points are not a discount at the register.
Best Scenario: Seven Items for $5.25
This basket combines dish soap, two energy drinks, toothpaste, and three toothbrushes. It requires only the listed digital coupons, with no Ibotta or Fetch claim needed for the $5.25 price.
- Palmolive Dish Soap, 20 oz: Buy one for $2.75; use the $1.50 digital coupon.
- Bloom Sparkling Energy Drink and C4 Performance Energy Drink: Buy one of each on the two-for-$5 promotion; use the separate $1.50 Bloom and $1.50 C4 digital coupons.
- Colgate Pro Series Toothpaste: Buy one for $9; use the $6 digital coupon.
- Oral-B Advanced Whitening and Clean Toothbrushes: Buy three at $3 each, $9 total; use the $5-off-three digital coupon.
| Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|
| Qualifying subtotal | $25.75 |
| $5 off $25 store coupon | −$5.00 |
| Product digital coupons | −$15.50 |
| Checkout and final price | $5.25 plus tax |
| Products | 7 |
| Average per product | $0.75 |
The basket has a $0.75 cushion above the $25 threshold. Keep the two energy drinks together for the listed promotional price and buy all three qualifying toothbrushes for their coupon.
Household Scenarios
Both household baskets finish at the register, with no receipt rebates included. The first focuses on cleaning products, while the second adds paper towels, toilet paper, and tissues.
Cleaning and Hand Soap: Eight Items for $9.25
- Snuggle Scent Beads: Buy two at $3.75 each, $7.50 total; use the $4-off-two digital coupon.

| Calculation | Amount |

| Product digital coupons | −$13.00 |
| Checkout and final price | $9.25 plus tax |
| Products | 8 |
| Average per product | About $1.16 |
This basket sits $2.25 above the qualifying threshold. Use the $4 Dawn refill listed here, not the $5 spray from the next scenario.
Paper Products and Dawn: Four Items for $14
- Sparkle Paper Towels, 6 Double Rolls: Buy one package for $8.45; use the $2 digital coupon.
- Angel Soft Toilet Paper, 8 Mega Rolls: Buy one package for $6.50; use the $1.40 digital coupon.

| Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|
| Qualifying subtotal | $25.90 |
| $5 off $25 store coupon | −$5.00 |
| Product digital coupons | −$6.90 |
| Checkout and final price | $14.00 plus tax |
| Products | 4 packages |
| Average per package | $3.50 |
The qualifying subtotal is $0.90 above the minimum. Product counts refer to purchased packages, not the individual tissue boxes or paper rolls inside them.
Personal Care Scenarios
Choose the oral-care basket if its products and Old Spice rebate fit your needs, or use the Aussie, Axe, and Mucinex basket for a no-rebate checkout. Several coupons overlap with other scenarios, so check what remains unused in your account.
Colgate, Oral-B, and Old Spice: Six Items for $7 Net
- Colgate Pro Series Toothpaste: Buy one for $9; use the $6 digital coupon.
- Oral-B Advanced Whitening and Clean Toothbrushes: Buy three at $3 each, $9 total; use the $5-off-three digital coupon.
- Old Spice High Endurance Deodorant: Buy two at $4.50 each, $9 total; submit the $4-on-two Ibotta rebate.
| Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|
| Qualifying subtotal | $27.00 |
| $5 off $25 store coupon | −$5.00 |
| Product digital coupons | −$11.00 |
| Pay at checkout | $11.00 plus tax |
| Old Spice Ibotta rebate on two | −$4.00 |
| Final net | $7.00 for 6 products |
| Average per product | About $1.17 |
The Old Spice rebate is $4 for the pair, not $4 per stick. If it is unavailable or the purchase does not qualify, the basket remains $11 before tax.
Aussie, Axe, and Mucinex: Five Items for $7.50
- Aussie Shampoo and Conditioner: Buy two qualifying products at $5 each, $10 total; use the $5-off-two digital coupon.
- Axe Deodorant Sticks: Buy two at $5.75 each, $11.50 total; use the $6-off-two digital coupon.
- Mucinex Instasoothe Cough Drops, 20-count: Buy one for $4; use the $2 digital coupon.
| Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|
| Qualifying subtotal | $25.50 |
| $5 off $25 store coupon | −$5.00 |
| Product digital coupons | −$13.00 |
| Checkout and final price | $7.50 plus tax |
| Products | 5 |
| Average per product | $1.50 |
This basket has the smallest cushion, just $0.50 above the threshold. No Ibotta rebate is included on Mucinex, so do not add one without checking the rebate's manufacturer-coupon restrictions.
Food Scenario: Eight Items for $9.87 Net
This basket includes two energy drinks, two refrigerated Pillsbury products, two lunchmeat packages, and two Klondike boxes. Pay $18 plus tax at checkout, then submit the listed rebates for the estimated $9.87 net.
- Bloom Sparkling Energy Drink and C4 Performance Energy Drink: Buy one of each on the two-for-$5 promotion.
- Use the $1.50 Bloom digital coupon.
- Use the separate $1.50 C4 digital coupon.
- Pillsbury Grands, Crescents, or Cinnamon Rolls: Buy two qualifying products for $5.
- Use the $1-off-two digital coupon.
- Earn 1,000 Fetch points for buying two, estimated at $0.71.
- Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh Lunchmeat: Buy two at $4.50 each, $9 total.
- Submit $1.50 Ibotta per package, twice, for $3 back.
- Klondike Bars: Buy two boxes for $8.
- Submit $1.50 Ibotta per box, twice, for $3 back.
- Earn 1,000 Fetch points per qualifying box, twice, for 2,000 points estimated at $1.42.
| Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|
| Energy drinks | $5.00 |
| Pillsbury pair | $5.00 |
| Oscar Mayer pair | $9.00 |
| Klondike pair | $8.00 |
| Qualifying subtotal | $27.00 |
| $5 off $25 store coupon | −$5.00 |
| Product digital coupons | −$4.00 |
| Pay at checkout | $18.00 plus tax |
| Oscar Mayer Ibotta rebates | −$3.00 |
| Klondike Ibotta rebates | −$3.00 |
| Pillsbury Fetch value | −$0.71 |
| Klondike Fetch value | −$1.42 |
| Final net | $9.87 for 8 products |
| Average per product | About $1.23 |
The two Oscar Mayer packages cost $4.50 each, not $4.50 for the pair. For Klondike, one box earns 1,000 Fetch points in this offer; the two-box purchase earns 2,000 points if two redemptions are available.
Confirm both Ibotta offers allow two claims and that the listed Fetch rewards can apply to the purchases. With both $3 Ibotta pairs and the full $2.13 Fetch value, the subtraction is $27 − $5 − $4 − $6 − $2.13 = $9.87.
Compare All Six Scenarios
These are alternative uses of the Saturday coupon, not one combined shopping trip. Choose based on the products you need, the coupons you still have, and whether you want to submit rebates.
| Scenario | Products | Qualifying Subtotal | Product Coupons | Checkout Before Tax | Later Rebates and Estimated Rewards | Final Net | Per Product |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best: soap, drinks, and oral care | 7 | $25.75 | $15.50 | $5.25 | $0.00 | $5.25 | $0.75 |
| Household: cleaning and hand soap | 8 | $27.25 | $13.00 | $9.25 | $0.00 | $9.25 | $1.16 |
| Household: paper products and Dawn | 4 | $25.90 | $6.90 | $14.00 | $0.00 | $14.00 | $3.50 |
| Personal care: Colgate, Oral-B, Old Spice | 6 | $27.00 | $11.00 | $11.00 | $4.00 | $7.00 | $1.17 |
| Personal care: Aussie, Axe, Mucinex | 5 | $25.50 | $13.00 | $7.50 | $0.00 | $7.50 | $1.50 |
| Food | 8 | $27.00 | $4.00 | $18.00 | $8.13 | $9.87 | $1.23 |
The $5 off $25 store coupon is already included in every checkout total, in addition to the product-coupon column. No extra personalized store coupon, Ibotta bonus, or receipt base points are assumed.
Choose One Basket Before Clipping and Shopping
- Lowest checkout: The seven-item Best Scenario is $5.25 before tax, with no rebate submission needed.
- Cleaning supplies: The eight-item household basket is $9.25 before tax and has a $2.25 threshold cushion.
- Paper products: The four-package household basket is $14 before tax.
- Oral care plus deodorant: Pay $11 for the Colgate, Oral-B, and Old Spice basket, then claim $4 Ibotta if eligible.
- Hair care and deodorant: The Aussie, Axe, and Mucinex basket is $7.50 with digital coupons only.
- Groceries: Budget $18 at the register and wait for the Food scenario's $8.13 in rebates and estimated Fetch value.
The Best and oral-care scenarios share the Colgate and Oral-B coupons. Household options share offers with each other or the Best Scenario, while the Food and Best scenarios share the energy-drink coupons.
A separate printed store coupon does not make those manufacturer coupons reusable. Recalculate any second transaction around offers you actually still have.
Checkout Checklist
- Select one scenario and confirm the October 31 $5 off $25 coupon is available.
- Clip all matching product coupons before checkout.
- Activate Ibotta offers and check Fetch eligibility if using a rebate scenario.
- Scan the exact products and confirm the local prices and multi-buy offers.
- Make sure the qualifying subtotal is at least $25 after store discounts.
- Enter the phone number linked to your DG account and review applied discounts before paying.
- Keep your itemized receipt and submit eligible rebate claims within each offer's deadline.
If prices match the tables, every basket clears the threshold without extra filler. If they differ, recalculate the whole basket rather than assuming a coupon will still apply.
