Dollar General 9/24: 8 Items for $6.75
Saturday, September 26, only: five Dollar General $5 off $25 scenarios, led by eight items for $6.75. Includes household and personal-care baskets plus a Food Scenario corrected to $11.20 after $8.75 in Ibotta rebates.
Dollar General's $5 off $25 coupon is valid this Saturday, September 26, only. This breakdown has five ways to build your basket, led by eight items for $6.75. The Best Scenario averages $0.84 per item and takes 73.8% off the listed prices. It needs only digital coupons, with no receipt rebate to wait for.
Choose the scenario that fits what you need, rather than trying to combine them. Several baskets reuse the same digital coupons. Do not assume a redeemed coupon will be available for another transaction.

Before You Shop
How the $5 off $25 works:
- Clip the store coupon and the matching manufacturer coupons. The scenarios use the $5 off $25 alongside the product-specific digital coupons listed below.
- Reach $25 after store discounts, before manufacturer coupons. For the Food Scenario, the fruit snacks' buy-two-get-one-free discount reduces the qualifying subtotal to $25.95. Do not use their full pre-promotion value to check the threshold.
- Saturday, September 26, only. The $5 off $25 store coupon is valid on that day, not earlier in the week. Clip it in advance and plan your qualifying purchase for Saturday.
- Confirm each exact product. Scan the size and variety against the digital coupon. The Oral-B/Crest choices and fall/holiday Febreze products must match their offers.
- Watch your subtotal cushion. Every scenario is only $0.60 to $1.05 above the threshold. A lower local price or an additional store discount could put the basket below $25.
- Treat these as alternative baskets. Check one-use limits and remaining coupon availability before planning another trip.
Prices and totals are before tax. Only the Food Scenario uses Ibotta, so its net price is lower than the amount paid at checkout. The other four scenarios reach their listed final cost through coupons at the register.

⭐ Best Scenario — $6.75 for 8 Items
- 📝 Buy (2) Snuggle Scent Shakes, $3.75 each ($7.50) — use the $4.00 off 2 digital coupon
- 📝 Buy (1) Febreze Fall/Holiday Scent Bathroom Freshener, $3.50 — use the $2.00 digital coupon
- 📝 Buy (1) Colgate Maxfresh Toothpaste, 4 Ounce, $3.25 — use the $2.00 digital coupon
- 📝 Buy (3) Select Oral-B Toothbrushes or Crest Toothpaste, $3.00 each ($9.00) — use the $5.00 off 3 digital coupon
- 📝 Buy (1) Kraft Power Mac, $2.50 — use the $1.00 digital coupon > TOTAL: $25.75 > (LESS): $5 off $25 Coupon > (LESS): $14.00 Digital Coupons > FINAL PRICE: $6.75 FOR ALL ($0.84 EACH)
This is the lowest total and lowest per-item price of the five scenarios. The $14 in product coupons combines with the $5 store coupon to take $19 off a $25.75 basket. All eight items count, including the two Snuggle products and three oral-care products.
Cushion is $0.75. Confirm that your three selected Oral-B or Crest items are $3.00 each and match the same $5 off 3 coupon. No Ibotta claim is needed for this basket.
🧽 Household Scenario — $9.00 for 5 Items
- 📝 Buy (2) Snuggle Scent Shakes, $3.75 each ($7.50) — use the $4.00 off 2 digital coupon
- 📝 Buy (1) Finish Dishwasher Tablets, 11–18 Count, $5.00 — use the $2.00 digital coupon
- 📝 Buy (1) Air Wick Scented Oil Refill, 4 Count, $10.00 — use the $4.00 digital coupon
- 📝 Buy (1) Febreze Fall/Holiday Scent Bathroom Freshener, $3.50 — use the $2.00 digital coupon > TOTAL: $26.00 > (LESS): $5 off $25 Coupon > (LESS): $12.00 Digital Coupons > FINAL PRICE: $9.00 FOR ALL ($1.80 EACH)
Five household items come to $9.00, or $1.80 per purchased item. The four-count Air Wick refill is one purchased package, not four units in this average. The coupons save $17.00 against the listed $26.00 value, a 65.4% reduction.
Cushion is $1.00. The $10.00 Air Wick refill is the largest item in this basket, so match the four-count package rather than substituting a smaller refill pack.
🧴 Personal Care Scenario 1 — $7.60 for 7 Items
- 📝 Buy (1) Colgate Maxfresh Toothpaste, 4 Ounce, $3.25 — use the $2.00 digital coupon
- 📝 Buy (3) Select Oral-B Toothbrushes or Crest Toothpaste, $3.00 each ($9.00) — use the $5.00 off 3 digital coupon
- 📝 Buy (1) Children’s Allegra or Xyzal Liquid Allergy Medicine, $7.85 — use the $4.00 digital coupon
- 📝 Buy (1) Advil, 8–24 Count, $4.50 — use the $2.00 digital coupon
- Buy (1) eligible $1 item from the dollar aisle, $1.00 > TOTAL: $25.60 > (LESS): $5 off $25 Coupon > (LESS): $13.00 Digital Coupons > FINAL PRICE: $7.60 FOR ALL ($1.09 EACH)
The $1 filler matters here. Without it, the qualifying subtotal is $24.60, below the $25 requirement. With it, the basket is $25.60 and the seven-item net is $7.60, or $1.09 each.
This is the tightest threshold at $0.60 of cushion. “$1 aisle item” means an eligible product from the dollar aisle, not an Aisle-app rebate. Choose an item that counts toward the store coupon and check the actual allergy-medicine price.
🧴 Personal Care Scenario 2 — $10.05 for 5 Items
- 📝 Buy (3) Irish Spring Body Wash, $5.35 each ($16.05) — use the $6.00 off 3 digital coupon
- 📝 Buy (2) Aussie Shampoo or Conditioner, $5.00 each ($10.00) — use the $5.00 off 2 digital coupon > TOTAL: $26.05 > (LESS): $5 off $25 Coupon > (LESS): $11.00 Digital Coupons > FINAL PRICE: $10.05 FOR ALL ($2.01 EACH)
Three body washes and two hair-care products total $10.05, or $2.01 each. The $6 off 3 Irish Spring coupon and $5 off 2 Aussie coupon total $11, with the $5 store coupon taking the basket from $26.05 to $10.05.
Cushion is $1.05, the largest of the five. Both coupons require the full listed quantity, so a missing third body wash or second hair-care item changes the calculation.
🛒 Food Scenario — $11.20 for 11 Items
- 🟠 Buy (5) Turtles Peanut & Caramel Bars, $1.95 each ($9.75)
- Submit the $0.75 Ibotta rebate on each bar (x5 = $3.75)
- 🟠 Buy (3) Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks, $3.35 each ($10.05); buy 2, get 1 free brings three to $6.70
- Submit the $0.50 Ibotta rebate on each box (x3 = $1.50)
- 🟠 Buy (2) Body Armor Flash I.V. Sticks, $3.50 each ($7.00)
- Submit the $3.50 on 2 Ibotta rebate
- 📝 Buy (1) Kraft Power Mac, $2.50 — use the $1.00 digital coupon > TOTAL: $25.95 > (LESS): $5 off $25 Coupon > (LESS): $1.00 Digital Coupons > PAY AT CHECKOUT: $19.95 plus tax > (LESS): $8.75 Ibotta Rebates > FINAL PRICE: $11.20 FOR ALL ($1.02 EACH)
The $25.95 qualifying subtotal is correct. The listed items total $29.30 before the $3.35 buy-two-get-one-free discount on fruit snacks. Subtract that store promotion first to get $25.95, leaving a $0.95 cushion over the coupon threshold.
Pay $19.95 plus tax at checkout, then claim the rebates. The $11.20 result assumes all five Turtles rebates, all three fruit-snack rebates, and the on-two Body Armor offer qualify.
The savings are 61.8% against the listed $29.30 value before B2G1. That includes the $3.35 store promotion, the $5 store coupon, the $1 product coupon, and $8.75 in Ibotta rebates. The promotion is counted once, not again against the already-discounted $25.95 subtotal.
Scenario Comparison
The qualifying subtotal is after store promotions but before the $5 off $25 and manufacturer coupons. Percentage savings use the listed value before the explicit fruit-snack B2G1; other original shelf prices were not independently supplied.
| Scenario | Items | Listed Value | Qualifying Subtotal | Final Net | Per Item | % Off | Cushion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best Scenario | 8 | $25.75 | $25.75 | $6.75 | $0.84 | 73.8% | $0.75 |
| Household Scenario | 5 | $26.00 | $26.00 | $9.00 | $1.80 | 65.4% | $1.00 |
| Personal Care Scenario 1 | 7 | $25.60 | $25.60 | $7.60 | $1.09 | 70.3% | $0.60 |
| Personal Care Scenario 2 | 5 | $26.05 | $26.05 | $10.05 | $2.01 | 61.4% | $1.05 |
| Food Scenario | 11 | $29.30 | $25.95 | $11.20 | $1.02 | 61.8% | $0.95 |
Start with the Best Scenario if the products fit your needs. It has the lowest final cost at $6.75, the lowest per-item average at $0.84, and no receipt-rebate requirement. Personal Care 1 is the next-lowest final total at $7.60, but its $1 filler is essential.
Across all five alternatives, the listed value is $132.70 and the computed net is $44.60 for 36 purchased units. That is $88.10 in total savings, or 66.4% against the listed values, averaging $1.24 per unit. This is a comparison of all scenarios, not a claim that one shopper can reuse the same coupons to buy all five.
Where the Savings Come From
The totals below count coupon applications across every alternative. Repeated coupon use in this comparison does not make those coupons reusable in your account.
| Source | Amount | Share | Applications Across Scenarios |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer Digital Coupons | $51.00 | 57.9% | 16 |
| $5 off $25 Store Coupon | $25.00 | 28.4% | 5 |
| Ibotta | $8.75 | 9.9% | 3 |
| Store B2G1 Promotion | $3.35 | 3.8% | 1 |
| TOTAL | $88.10 | 100.0% | 25 |
Manufacturer digital coupons provide $51.00 across the alternative baskets. The $5 off $25 coupon contributes another $25.00 when counted once for each scenario. Only the Food Scenario has money coming back later through Ibotta.
Rebate Apps You'll Need
- Ibotta: Only needed for the Food Scenario. The listed offers total $8.75: $3.75 on five Turtles bars, $1.50 on three Betty Crocker fruit-snack boxes, and $3.50 on two Body Armor Flash I.V. sticks.
- Dollar General app: All five scenarios use the store coupon and the relevant manufacturer digital coupons. Check their dates, exact product matches, and remaining uses before shopping.
The other four scenarios need no separate rebate app. Their coupon savings are taken off at checkout, so their listed final costs are also their pre-tax register totals.
New to Dollar General Coupon Stacking?
- Clip the $5 off $25 coupon for Saturday, September 26. It is valid that Saturday only, so plan your purchase for that day.
- Choose one scenario and clip its manufacturer coupons. Several scenarios overlap, so using a coupon in one basket can make another basket unavailable.
- Reach $25 after store promotions. In the Food Scenario, use $25.95 after the fruit-snack B2G1, not $29.30 before it.
- Match the quantities and exact products. An off-two or off-three coupon is one total discount on the required group, not that discount on every item.
- Recheck the subtotal before paying. If a price differs, recalculate the cushion and add an eligible item if needed.
- Keep your receipt for the Food Scenario. Confirm Ibotta availability and limits before buying, submit within the offer deadline, and verify the approved rebate amount.
Tips for This Week
- Best Scenario is the simplest low-cost option. Eight items for $6.75 use only the DG coupon stack, with no rebates to wait for.
- Do not forget Personal Care 1's $1 item. Without it, the basket misses the threshold by $0.40.
- Check seasonal Febreze eligibility. The coupon is for the listed fall/holiday scents, not automatically every bathroom freshener.
- Count purchased packages, not their contents. A four-count Air Wick refill pack is one unit in the scenario average.
- Plan for the Food checkout amount. It is $19.95 plus tax before the $8.75 in later rebates.
- Do not assume a repeat-coupon plan. Confirm remaining uses and terms before attempting another basket.
- Shop on Saturday, September 26, only. These $5 off $25 scenarios do not apply before or after that date.
