Dollar General WILL ACCEPT coupons that meet the following requirements:
- Must be original. Photocopies are not accepted.
- Must have a scannable barcode or a valid Dollar General promotion code that can be scanned by a DG store associate
- Must have a visible and a valid expiration date
- Can be redeemed only for items sold at Dollar General, and can be redeemed only for the exact same item (package weight, size, etc.) unless otherwise specified
- Limit of 5 identical coupons per household per day, if no limit specified on coupon
- Coupons for free items are only accepted if a purchase is required to get one free. A Dollar General Coupon offer will always have a purchase requirement with free item offers.
- A maximum of two coupons will be allowed per item. To do this, one coupon must be a Manufacturer Coupon and the second coupon must be a Dollar General Coupon. This is allowable as long as neither coupon states that it is not valid with other coupons.
- Printed on valid Dollar General receipt tape paper
Coupons Stacking IS ALLOWED in certain situations:
- Only one Manufacturer Coupon and one Dollar General Coupon can be used per item in a transaction. Stacking of 2 or more Manufacturer Coupons per item is not allowed.
- The stacking of 2 or more Dollar General Coupons in a transaction is allowed unless otherwise noted on the coupon or associated promotional art.
- Unless labeled a DG Store Coupon in the Digital Coupon Gallery, DG Digital Coupons are Manufacturer Coupons. Manufacturer DG Digital Coupons cannot be combined with any other type of Manufacturer coupon on the same item in a single transaction.
- If there is a conflict between a DG Digital Coupon and a Paper Coupon for the same item, the first one applied will be counted toward the transaction and the other will not, regardless of value.
Coupon Overages:
- Dollar General accepts coupons that have a face value that exceeds the price of the item to which the coupon applies. However, effective as of the most recent update to this policy, the discount received by the customer may not exceed the total pre-tax selling price (after all other discounts) of the item to which the coupon applies.
- Dollar General is in the process of converting its point of sale systems to a new platform that better supports this policy. Until that process is complete, customers in some stores may receive the full face value of a coupon even when it exceeds the pre-tax selling price of the applicable item.
- In such instances, the difference between the face value of the coupon and the pre-tax selling price (after all other discounts) of the item will be applied to the balance of the transaction. These coupon overages will not be given back at the end of the transaction as cash.
- Coupon overages cannot be applied to gift cards, pre-paid money cards, phone cards, alcohol, or tobacco.
- Other restrictions may apply.
- If you have questions regarding coupons at a specific store, please contact the store manager.
Dollar General will NOT accept coupons that are as follows:
- From other retailers
- Expired
- Photocopies
- Screenshots
- Pictures of any kind
- Internet coupons without a scannable barcode, a Dollar General promotion code, or a visible and valid expiration date.
- For "free" items that do not contain a purchase requirement (i.e., buy one get one free is acceptable)
- Manufacturer coupons that do not have a "remit to:" address on the coupon.
Please Note:
- All coupon offers are available only while quantities last.
- Dollar General does not match competitor Ad prices.
- Dollar General does not double or multiply the value of coupons.
- Transactions cannot be broken up to avoid coupon stacking restrictions.
- Only one Dollar General Digital Coupon Account per person.
- In all situations, Dollar General reserves the right to:
- Limit purchase quantities to typical retail purchase quantities and to exclude resellers/dealers.
- Not accept coupons over a certain dollar amount, as well as above a certain threshold as it relates to the total transaction.
- Remove any coupon or offer for any reason, including both manufacturer coupons and store discounts.
There are a few reasons why your coupon might not apply to your order including:
- The coupon is not clipped to your account
- The item description does not meet the offer requirements
- The coupon is expired
Be sure to avoid using two of the same type of coupons per item. For example, a paper manufacturer coupon and a digital manufacturer coupon are both manufacturer coupons and cannot be stacked.
Please review the Coupon Policy and check your saved deals in your account to determine if your coupon should have been applicable. If you believe it should have applied, please contact us and we'll research this for you as soon as possible.

DG Delivery is a fee based service.
Dollar General accepts all major credit and debit cards for DG Pickup orders.
When you check out, we submit the estimated total amount of your order to your financial institution which reserves the amount necessary to complete the transaction.
If we are able to fulfill all the items in your order, without any changes, your final total will be the same as your estimated total.
If we are unable to fulfill all the items in your order, or substitute items with your permission, your final total amount will be different from your original estimated total.
If the final order purchase amount is different from the original order purchase amount, this information will be shown on your order ready email and in your order history.
- Some items are not eligible for DG Delivery.
- Your order total is estimated until we pack it up and may change.
- Some items may become unavailable and removed from your order, or substituted with your permission, which would change your final order total.
- We currently do not accept SNAP/EBT and gift cards for DG Delivery orders.
- We only accept digital coupons for DG Delivery orders.
- Once you place your order you will not be able to make any changes to it including adding or removing items, changing store location, or delivery time and date.
- You may cancel your order up to the time a driver is assigned. After that, you cannot cancel your DG Delivery order.
- Dollar General will cancel your order if we are unable to fulfill it satisfactorily or we are unable to delivery your order after leaving the store.
Unfortunately, an item you’ve ordered may occasionally become unavailable, but many products have an eligible alternative that we can substitute.
All items ordered for delivery will default to Allow Substitutions. Should there be an item you do not wish to be substituted, just uncheck the Allow Substitutions box next to that item when prompted.
You will need to provide a valid mobile number and email so our delivery team can advise you of available substitute items when your order is processed in store.
Substituted items may not be eligible for discounts and offers that were applicable to the original items in your DG Delivery order. You will be charged the retail price of the substituted item and not the retail price of the original item in your DG Delivery order.
Doordash is our exclusive partner (remove extra “partner”) delivery partner so substution texts will be coming from the assigned dasher.
Your order may change if items become unavailable and are removed or are substituted with your permission.
If items are removed or substituted, your order details including item quantity and specifications, coupons and deals applied, and final purchase total will be updated and sent to your email as well as available in your account for signed in customers.
As soon as possible after your delivery arrives, verify that all the items you expect to be delivered are included with your order.
Please call (edit to “contact”) our customer service team if there are missing or unexpected items in your order that do not match your final order details confirmation.
Our goal is to deliver your order in your scheduled timeframe.
You will receive electronic communications throughout the fulfillment process.
Be prepared to interact with your shopper/driver if you allowed substitutions.
If we didn’t get something right with your delivered order, we’re here to help resolve the issue. We offer three options to process your refund.
1. Self-Service: Click the Need help with your order? link on your order details page to process a self-service refund. Restrictions and limitations apply.
2. Assisted Return: Contact our Customer Care team
3. In-Store Return: Using the barcode on your order details page as your receipt, return any unused items to the store. This can be found under your Order History or in your DG Delivery Complete email.
Visit our Help Center on DG.com or in the DG App to learn more about our complete Return Policy.
Your order can be canceled either by you or by Dollar General.
You may cancel your DG Delivery order up to the time a driver is assigned. Your order details page, accessible from your confirmation email or your account for signed in customers, will have a “Cancel order” button if this option is still available.
If your order details page does not have a “Cancel order” button, you have missed the cancellation window and you cannot cancel your DG Delivery order.
Dollar General will cancel your order if we are unable to fulfill it satisfactorily.
In all cases, your order details and status will reflect the cancellation.
Coupons or deals applied to canceled orders will be immediately released back to your account and remain clipped to use for a different transaction.
Your financial institution may keep a hold for the estimated amount of the order for three to seven business days. Please contact them if it is not removed after seven days.
Please sign in to check your order status in the Order History section of your account or follow the link in your email for guest checkout.
