When I'm preparing a haul for Dollar General, I look for high priced products that also have large value coupons. That way I get to the $25 total purchase amount I need to get my $5 off. Once the coupons are applied, my out of pocket amount is very small.
Here are the prices of the products and the coupons I used.
2 Alpo T Bonz dog treats were on sale for $1 each. I used $2/2 coupon. (There was also a digital coupon available on the site you could use if you didn't have the printable.)
2 Clairol hair dye costs $3, used a $2 coupon.
6 Poligrip was $2 each, used coupon for free product from in the weekly coupon insert.
1 Angel Soft bathroom tissue 4 pk cost $1, used .45 coupon.
1 Reynold's wrap foil sheets cost $1, no coupon.
1 Alpo Dog biscuits cost $2.50, used $1.50 coupon.
1 Kit Kat king size cost $1.35
The total was over $27. with tax, I paid $5.11.
Most of these coupons haven't expired, so you can use a similar breakdown for this Saturday's haul. Be sure to give the cashier your Dollar General $5 before you hand over the rest. As a matter of fact, keep it in a separate. Why? There are cashiers that will demand all of the coupons and then your oop will be high. Many cashiers are not accustomed to couponers and don't know this is allowed at the store. I shop at four different locations without a problem. Three of the locations are in NY and one is in NJ.
Hope this helps you save some $. Happy shopping!
