Things to Know About the $5 off $25

Before you plan your trip, here are the key rules for the Dollar General $5 off $25 digital coupon:

It stacks with manufacturer digital coupons and rebate apps. The $5 off $25 is a store coupon, so it works on top of manufacturer coupons and Ibotta rebates.
Your total does not need to be $25 after coupons. Your subtotal after store discounts just needs to hit $25 or more. If you have manufacturer coupons, you can drop the price way below $25.
Find all coupons in the Dollar General app or website. The $5 off $25 coupon and all manufacturer digital coupons referenced below are clipped in the DG app.
The coupons are one-time use. Pick one scenario for the weekday coupon and another for the Saturday coupon. However, you may get a printout version of the coupon on your receipt. If you do, you can use it toward another scenario.

Scenario Breakdowns

Here is every scenario broken down with exact instructions. Follow these steps at checkout.

"Misc" Scenario (Assortment of Items)

9 items | Subtotal: $26.50 | Final Price: $4.00 ($0.44 per item)

Buy (1) Air Wick Advanced Scented Oil Warmer at $4.00
- 🟢 Use the $3 digital coupon
Buy (5) St Joseph Aspirin 36 Count at $2.00 each
- 🟠 Submit the $1.50 Ibotta rebate on each (x5 = $7.50 back)
Buy (1) Energizer AA/AAA 4 Pack Batteries at $5.50
- 🟢 Use the $3 digital coupon
Buy (1) Febreze Air Mist Spray at $3.50
- 🟢 Use the $2 digital coupon
Buy (1) Febreze Bathroom Freshener at $3.50
- 🟢 Use the $2 digital coupon
🟢 The $5 off $25 digital coupon applies automatically

Math: $26.50 - $5 off $25 coupon - $10 manufacturer digital coupons - $7.50 Ibotta rebates = $4.00 for everything

Nine items for four bucks. The Ibotta rebates on the St Joseph Aspirin do the heavy lifting here, giving you $7.50 back after checkout. The digital coupons shave another $10 off at the register.

NOTE: There is an Ibotta rebate available for the Air Wick, but Ibotta does not allow combining their rebates with Dollar General manufacturer digital coupons. Use the $3 digital coupon instead for the best deal.

Household Scenario

9 items | Subtotal: $25.50 | Final Price: $7.50 ($0.83 per item)

Buy (1) Air Wick Advanced Scented Oil Warmer at $4.00

Buy (1) Febreze Bathroom Freshener at $3.50
- 🟢 Use the $2 digital coupon
Buy (1) Energizer AA/AAA 4 Pack Batteries at $5.50

- 🟢 Use the $1 off 3 digital coupon
Buy (1) Lysol All Purpose Cleaner Spray 19oz at $3.00
- 🟢 Use the $1 digital coupon
Buy (1) Softsoap Hand Soap at $3.00
- 🟢 Use the $1 digital coupon
🟢 The $5 off $25 digital coupon applies automatically

Math: $25.50 - $5 off $25 coupon - $13 manufacturer digital coupons = $7.50 for all 9 items

This is a pure digital coupon scenario with no rebate apps needed. Everything stacks at the register. Under a dollar per item for household essentials like batteries, tissues, cleaning spray, and hand soap.

Personal Care Scenario 1

8 items | Subtotal: $25.00 | Final Price: $3.50 ($0.44 per item)

Buy (5) St Joseph Aspirin 36 Count at $2.00 each
- 🟠 Submit the $1.50 Ibotta rebate on each (x5 = $7.50 back)
Buy (3) Pert Odor X Shampoo/Conditioner 25.4oz at $5.00 each
- 🟠 Submit the $3.00 Ibotta rebate on each (x3 = $9.00 back)
🟢 The $5 off $25 digital coupon applies automatically

Math: $25.00 - $5 off $25 coupon - $16.50 Ibotta rebates = $3.50 for all 8 items

The cheapest scenario of the bunch. $16.50 in Ibotta rebates plus the $5 coupon turns $25 worth of aspirin and shampoo into $3.50. The Pert Odor X Ibotta rebate at $3 each is the star here.

Personal Care Scenario 2

6 items | Subtotal: $25.00 | Final Price: $4.00 ($0.67 per item)

Buy (2) St Joseph Aspirin 36 Count at $2.00 each
- 🟠 Submit the $1.50 Ibotta rebate on each (x2 = $3.00 back)
Buy (2) Pantene Shampoo/Conditioner 10.4oz at $5.00 each
- 🟢 Use the $6 off 2 digital coupon
Buy (2) Herbal Essence Shampoo/Conditioner 13.5oz at $5.50 each
- 🟢 Use the $7 off 2 digital coupon
🟢 The $5 off $25 digital coupon applies automatically

Math: $25.00 - $5 off $25 coupon - $13 manufacturer digital coupons - $3 Ibotta rebates = $4.00 for all 6 items

This scenario is great if you want premium shampoo brands. The $6 and $7 digital coupons on Pantene and Herbal Essence are massive, and Ibotta covers the aspirin.

Grocery Scenario

2 items (42 cans total) | Subtotal: $25.20 | Final Price: $16.20 ($0.39 per can)

Buy (1) Pepsi or Mtn Dew 18 Pack at $10.95
- 🟢 Use the $2 digital coupon
Buy (1) Pepsi or Mtn Dew 24 Pack at $14.25
- 🟢 Use the $2 digital coupon
🟢 The $5 off $25 digital coupon applies automatically

Math: $25.20 - $5 off $25 coupon - $4 manufacturer digital coupons = $16.20 for 42 cans ($0.39 per can)

If you just need soda, this is a solid pickup. Thirty-nine cents per can across 42 cans of Pepsi or Mountain Dew. Not the flashiest deal, but a great price per can.

How to Pick Your Scenarios

You get two chances to use the $5 off $25 coupon this week:

Monday through Friday: Use the BONUS weekday $5 off $25 digital coupon on your first scenario.
Saturday: Use the normal Saturday $5 off $25 digital coupon on your second scenario.

Our top combo pick: Personal Care Scenario 1 (the cheapest at $3.50) during the week, then the Misc Scenario ($4.00) on Saturday. That is $7.50 total for 17 items worth $51.50.

Receipt coupon bonus: Check your receipt after every transaction. Dollar General sometimes prints a $5 off $25 coupon right on the receipt. If you get one, you can use it on a third scenario.

Rebate Apps You Need for These Deals

Ibotta -- Used in the Misc, Personal Care 1, and Personal Care 2 scenarios. The St Joseph Aspirin and Pert Odor X rebates are the biggest money-savers.
Dollar General App -- Required for all scenarios. Clip the $5 off $25 coupon and all manufacturer digital coupons before you shop.

New to Couponing?

If this is your first time stacking deals at Dollar General, here is your quick starter guide:

Download the Dollar General app and create an account. All digital coupons are clipped through the app or website. Link your DG account so coupons apply automatically at checkout.
Clip the $5 off $25 digital coupon first. This is the foundation of every scenario. It appears in your DG app under digital coupons.
Clip all manufacturer digital coupons for the items in your scenario. These stack on top of the $5 off $25.
Download Ibotta and activate offers. Ibotta rebates apply after checkout. Search for the items, add the offers, and scan your receipt.
Your subtotal must hit $25 before manufacturer coupons. The $5 off $25 is based on your subtotal after store discounts but before manufacturer coupons. As long as the items add up to $25+, you are good.

Tips for This Week's Dollar General Run

The weekday $5 off $25 is a bonus. Normally you only get the Saturday coupon. This week you get both, so plan two trips.
Pick your scenarios carefully. The coupons are one-time use. Choose the two scenarios that match what you need most.
Personal Care Scenario 1 is the best value at $3.50 for 8 items. If you are only doing one trip, this is the one to pick.
Ibotta does not allow combining with DG manufacturer digital coupons. You can use the $5 off $25 store coupon with Ibotta, but you cannot use a manufacturer digital coupon and an Ibotta rebate on the same item. The Air Wick in the Misc scenario uses the digital coupon instead of Ibotta for this reason.
Check your receipt for a bonus $5 off $25 printout. If you get one, you can do a third scenario.
All coupons are in the DG app. The $5 off $25, the manufacturer coupons -- everything. Clip them all before you head to the register.
