Dollar General Seasonal Clearance Event Oct 16–18: Extra 50% Off Clearance
Admin Dollar General’s next Seasonal Clearance Event is set for Friday, October 16 through Sunday, October 18, and this one stacks an extra 50% off on top of already-clearanced seasonal merchandise. That is the kind of double markdown that turns $5 shelf tags into $2.50 at the register.
The included categories lean heavily into summer and seasonal leftovers: purple dot home, green dot home, blue star toys, summer toys, lawn and garden, swim diapers, beach towels, summer picnic items, select camping gear, back-to-school stationery, patriotic party goods, playballs, studio selections suncare, FIFA apparel, select As Seen On TV items, and the Dolly Parton spring and summer collections. On top of that, red dot home items run 50% off and harvest merchandise is buy one, get one 50% off during the same three days.
The play here is preparation. Clearance shoppers who do well at these events visit before the weekend, note which orange-tagged items sit in the included categories, and clip relevant digital coupons — coupons generally still work on clearance items. Then on Friday morning, open the Dollar General app with the right store selected and scan everything, since shelf tags often lag behind the actual event prices. The Saturday $5-off-$25 coupon stacks too, when the basket qualifies.
