Only at self-checkout will it work? A customer at Dollar General fills up their shopping cart. Everything totals one penny. 'My Dollar General's self-checkout has been helpfully 'broken' for about a year.'

 

TikTok users are helping each other out by sharing money-saving strategies as the cost of living continues to rise. TikToker @supersimplesaver is a self-described penny shopper and extreme couponer. By sharing their penny deal shopping hauls from CVS and Dollar General, they've gained nearly 100,000 followers. @supersimplesaver takes viewers to Dollar General in one of their most recent videos, which received 3.9 million views.

 

The video is shot from the perspective of the customer as they fill their shopping cart with various items throughout the store. It is a POV-style video. The content creator begins by adding seven bottles of Accent flavoring to their cart. After that, they added two packets of candy, 11 cans of dry spaghetti noodles, five boxes of Bumble Bee Buffalo Style Chicken Salad, three cans of Sweet Sue Chicken & Dumplings, and 10 packets of Clover Valley Hot Chili Seasoning Mix to their cart.

 

They get a coloring book, a notebook, eight crayon packs, and four 12-packs of 5-Hour Energy shots in addition to the food. At self-checkout, each item they scan costs one penny. The creator of the video ends the video by showing their receipt, which shows that each item cost only one penny.

 

Dollar General is a popular place to buy pennies. A worker in a store is basically responsible for taking a few items off the shelves each week. If they don't, and a customer finds such items on their own, those items will cost up to one penny. Because of this, some customers encourage others to use self-checkout only. As those things shouldn't be available to be purchased, a few laborers won't allow clients to buy them. One user made a comment, stating, "Only will work at a self checkout, my Dollar General's self checkout has been conveniently "broken" for about a year." "Our stores don't permit penny shopping. A second person shared, "They won't let us buy the items." TikToker @supersimplesaver was also asked by viewers how to locate penny items. The TikToker has a rundown of current penny things connected in their profile. The Day to day Spot connected with @supersimplesaver by means of Instagram direct message and TikTok remark as well as to Dollar General through press email.
