This week's Dollar General run is all about the $5 off $25 coupon — and we've built 6 scenarios around it that turn $160.35 of product into $72.10, a total savings of $88.25 (about 55% off).
The headline is Personal Care Scenario 1: 8 tubes of toothpaste for $4.25 total — $0.53 each. Right behind it, Household Scenario 1 stacks a $3 Scott Instant Savings on top of the $5 off $25 to pull $30.00 of Scott and Cottonelle paper goods down to $16.00, and Food Deal 1 lands 10 items for $15.20 with a FREE $0.50 filler item.
Here's the full lineup: a $4.25 BEST scenario ($0.53/item), a $5.25 Personal Care 2 ($0.88/item), a $9.40 Household 2 ($1.88/item), a $16.00 Household 1 paper goods restock ($2.67/item), a $15.20 Food Deal 1 with 10 items, and a $22.00 Food Deal 2 soda BOGO run.
NOTE: The $5 off $25 coupon is one time use per account. Pick the scenario you want most and run that one first. If a second $5 off $25 prints on your receipt, you can run a second scenario with it.

Things to Know About the Dollar General $5 off $25
- They can be stacked with manufacturer digital coupons, printable coupons, AND rebate apps.
- Your total does not have to be $25 after coupons. Your subtotal after store discounts just needs to be $25 or more. Manufacturer coupons come off after that, so your final price can drop WAY below $25.
- You can find the $5 off $25 coupon and all manufacturer digital coupons in the Dollar General app or website.
- The coupon is one time use. If you get a printout of another $5 off $25 on your receipt, you can use it toward another scenario.
- Instant Savings counts AGAINST the $25 threshold. Instant Savings comes off BEFORE the $5 off $25 coupon evaluates your subtotal. Household Scenario 1 below is built to survive this: $30.00 minus the $3 Scott Instant Savings still leaves $27.00, which clears $25.
- Several scenarios below clear $25 by only a few cents. Personal Care 1 lands at $25.25 and Food Deal 1 at $25.20. Do NOT drop items from these baskets or you lose the entire $5.
