THE RUNDOWN

When Brodie first entered her Dollar General store, she went straight toward the cleaning supplies.

First on the list was the Swiffer Dusters Kit, which has a price listed of $5.50

But with Brodie’s digital coupon, she’ll save $4, marking down the cost to essentially a singular dollar.

Then, stocking up on hygiene items, Brodie grabbed the Optic White Stain Prevention Toothpaste.

With a price tag of $7.25, Brodie was smart and applied an online coupon to take off $5 from the purchase.

There were also some hair products on sale, including the TRESemme Instant Recovery Hair Mask.

The item already had a low price of $2 on store aisles. But after grabbing several of the masks, Brodie was able to apply an online discount for $5 off.

Next up, Brodie added three bottles of Pantene Moisture Shampoo to her cart.

Priced at just $1.75, the savings were racing in because of a $5 digital coupon Brodie also found.

Afterwards, Brodie picked up a Dove’s Men’s Care with a $2 price tag.

Because her digital coupon gave her $3 off the purchase, she actually ended up making money on the sale.

In all, the nine items should have cost $26.

However, once she secured all the products, Brodie had one last deal that ended up making the overall purchase an essential steal.

As Dollar General was offering a digital coupon to take $5 off a $25 and up purchase, Brodie’s digital coupons ended up being worth $25.99.

All in all, that brought the sale down to just one cent.

NEW POLICY

Dollar General has been testing out a cashier-less program in North Carolina as the chain looks to lower retail theft at stores.

By requiring shoppers to use their bank cards to enter stores, the program stops shoplifting from occurring and lines are reduced as well.

The store teamed up with the tech firm AiFi to trial the feature.

Dozens of cameras are watching customers add items into their carts as well.

One of the signs in the retailer says: "You won't be charged for items you put back. No lines or checkout. It's okay to just walk out."

Shoppers later receive a text message that their cards were charged for the items taken.

Another discount retailer, Aldi, unveiled several items under $30, and they’re perfect to transform your home this summer.
