Questions
What do the symbols on Dollar General clearance tags mean?
Dollar General prints a colored symbol, like a blue heart or an orange dot, on many clearance shelf tags. Shoppers use the symbol to spot items from the same clearance group. Dollar General doesn’t publish what each symbol means, so this page tracks which items carry each one and whether they’ve gone to a penny.
How do I check if a shelf tag item is a penny?
Scan the UPC in the Dollar General app or at a price checker. Penny items are meant to be pulled from the shelf, so they’re never guaranteed, and prices can vary by store.
