Thank you!!
I went today, searched the store, and only found one pair of Barbie sunglasses. But they did ring up for $.20! They weren't tagged, so thanks for sending out the word. I also picked up a men's hunting sweatshirt for $3 reg. $10 and two men's flannel shirts for $2.10 reg. $8. I don't know if the shirts were from last years stock, but I was glad to find something that can be worn now at such at low price.

I got 108.00 worth of clothes for my guys for 10.80 I got about 10 shirts and three pair of shorts and two pair of slippers and a pair of sandles.
I finally got to a DG today... then since another was (sorta) close and went to it too.
Here was store #1
Barbie sunglasses $.01
(2) jacks and jump rope combo $.01 ea.
photo album $.15
(2) hair clips $.50
Skip Bo $1.50
Store #2
(2) sandals $.20
bambi socks $.30
and the best deal!!! disney princess sandbox $.01 (reg. $20)
None of what I bought was actually priced at the same price that it rang up. I just kinda looked around and guessed what would be cheap. Anything that would be considered summer... Which was why I had the cashier to scan the sandbox. It was the last one of Princess and there was only one other (pooh and friends) that the guy behind me in line grabbed. I may have to scout out what other DG stores are within driving distance!
And even better was that I tried to use my Polly coupon on a $5 Polly and they took it!
Yea! I got my bargain fix for the day!!:D

Found 2 pair of the kids sunglasses today, and sure enough they rang up .01. The cashier refused to sell them to me saying it must be wrong. She said she would sell them to me for $1.00, and I said no thanks.
I was SO mad.
I did, however, get 3 rechargeable vacs (dustbusters) for $1.50 each (originally $15). Also picked up several packs of scrapbook paper at 90% off.
But, I did want the sunglasses!

Both of the store I went to today had to call a manager when they rang up so cheap, but then they did sell them. I wonder what the company policy is... I would be curious if maybe the cashier didn't just want them for herself. I would be VERY mad too, since others have posted that they were able to buy their $.01 things!

I just got back from Dollar General. I went there looking for the kiddie Sun glasses. I picked up a butcher knife for 80c (reg 8.00_) a fairy princess bank 20c,2 lavender sandals for the girls and when I got to the register I asked her if they had any of the sun glasses left. She said hold on.. and called "carol" to the front. She sent Carol back and she came back up with 16 pair of starwars,spiderman,hotwheels and batman sun glasses. She said they are ringing up for 1c and that means they are salvage so I can legally sell them to you. Then she put them in a plastic bag and said here you go and handled them to me FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I said I will be happy to pay for them and she smiled and said make a small donation to our reading club and pointed to a collection box. I handed her a dollar and she put it in there and said thank you and left. WOW I couldnt believe it. So when you are looking look at the plastic hanging thingys along the aisles.. thats where she said she found them. They could be anywhere.

I had 20 or so pairs of sunglasses at the register (not character ones just plain ones hanging on the shelf where $1 items are near stationary). They rang up .01- she said that she could NOT sell them. Anything that rang up .01 is not available for sale. So if you can't find the character ones you may can at least get the plain ones. I got about 40 of the princess pens and fuzzy pens and such for .10. I'll give half to the trasure box at my sons class and keep half for clients kids.
Can someone send me a Picture of what kind of slippers yall got?? I'm not sure what I am looking for. Thanks

I found a few pair last weekend when they were 90% off. So I decided to check a couple more stores today for straggler pairs. I tried the previous posters trick and asked an employee and was told, "if you do happen to find any, they are all "recalled" and we won't be able to sell them to you. Recalled...., whatever. You want them for yourself at .01 is what I thought!! :cool:

Yeah! Went to 2 stores today and got 10 pairs of sunglasses, all .01 each. I got Dora, Diego, Spongebob, Bratz, Superman, and Batman. I only got what I needed and left a few at each store (2 pairs for each kid cuz they go thru them like crazy!). The first cashier just asked me where I found the glasses, so she will probably get what I left. The second store, the manager said the price probably wasn't right, but sold them to me anyway. I spent .72 at the second store and walked out with 6 pairs of glasses and 2 shirts. Great deals!

I got 3 complete outfits for the kids for .60 12 pair of character glasses .01 ink pens with furry stuff for .05 a pair of $12 slippers for $1 three pari of shoes for the baby girl next summer for .10 and a few other things that DG Rocked. I told her what the other manager had told me about some of the glasses being recalled because of the .01 price and she said it was hogwash, they just wanted them for themselves. Good luck

I think they might have been recalled but some stores are just slack. I say this because I went to three different Dollar General stores today in different towns and was told the same thing in each store. They all told me that those glasses had been recalled and there were none to be found in the stores. I explained to two of them that I wanted them for school rewards and they were firm on the fact that they had been recalled but who knows?

The lady told me they were recalled by dollar general because if they sell them to cheaply the store takes a loss on what they paid for the product.

I wouldn't think that they were recalled for a safety reason,because they would have a recall notice hanging up by the sunglasses or on the front door.

I went to 2 other store's and all gone I needed 10 more pair for the kids. well good luck to all looking for them

I went to DG today to see what I could find. I spent around $25 and everything I bought was 90% off so around $250 worth of stuff. Thanks for the heads up on the 90% off.

Woohoo! I found 12 pairs of sunglasses tonight. I was so happy! :) I only took 2 to the register because I wanted to make sure first. When they rang up a penny I ran back and got the whole plastic rack thing. As I was kind of looking for more the manager came back and said I probably wouldn't find anymore. That those ones were supposed to have been thrown out, but she didn't realize it. She said that there had been others that were originally $1 that were recalled for lead and that those had all been pulled already. She acted kind of like she wasn't happy about me having them, but TOO BAD! The cashier rang me out and my total including 2 coloring books was $2.26! Great deal! I'll give some to a friends kids and then put the others back. It seems like we're always missing some around here so this will really come in handy!!

I went back to one of the DG that pulled some that were "recalled". I went looking in boxes of misc. stuff in boxes on the toy isle. (stuff they didn't want to bother with putting back on the shelf) 9 pair of glasses, and 5 buzz lightyear airplane shooters all for .01 ! I have a ton! I am so proud of my steals this week. My sons teacher is going to be so surprised Monday. I am giving half to her for the "treasure box" and half to a kid in my hubby's band program that has cancer for a huge fundraiser we are getting together.
I am so excited to get GREAT DEALS! Thanks OP :gdbouquet1:

Thanks for posting this! We visited DG tonight because of this thread. My DG was out of the sunglasses, but we did get many stocking stuffers and decor for my daughters' rooms. The toy gardening tools were $.01 and the lady didn't even blink when she rang them up. We spent $20 and had 6 bags full!
