This morning, I saw on Kristie’s Connections and Craz-E Coupons that there were now rugs for a penny at Dollar General. (If you’re new to penny shopping, check out my last two hauls here and here to learn more!) I was bummed that I was tied up with an appointment until the afternoon, because I figured any rugs at my store would have likely been pulled or bought by then. But no! I hit DG at around 3PM, and I found not one, but THREE chenille area rugs plus several placemats!!
3 chenille area rugs – originally $25 each
3 Perfect Harvest place mats – originally $2 each
4 Dolly Parton place mats – originally $3 each
So I bought $93 in merchandise for .09 cents!
If you’re doing the math with me, you’re correct that this transaction should have been .10 cents. I’m guessing that the place mats must have stuck together and the cashier missed one while ringing up, because I thought I had three of the Dolly Parton place mats until I got home, took the photo, and realized there were four.🙁 In fact, these place mats stuck together so much that I didn’t even realize there were Perfect Harvest place mats in the stack as well until right before I checked out – I thought I was just grabbing a few Dolly place mats, and then they multiplied!
At any rate, I haven’t seen the rug pattern that I got on Kristie’s Connections or Craz-E Coupons, so it was a surprise penny to me and probably will be to you as well, so here is the UPC info:
The place mats were also surprises to me, but I don’t think they were a part of this most recent penny list, because I saw the Dolly Parton items in videos a month or two ago when I first heard about penny shopping; the other two are autumn-themed and like I said, really stuck to the Dolly place mats so I assume they pennied around the same time since they’ve clearly been sitting there so long. The place mat stack was underneath a metal basket in the home goods section and I have seen them in the same spot during previous visits, so I’m guessing they just never got pulled. So you’re less likely to find these at your stores, but just in case anyone wants them, here’s the UPCs:
I am absolutely thrilled about this haul, because I needed to get a few more rugs – I have two pet bunnies that free roam in a couple of rooms, and rabbits need soft surfaces to walk on because it’s hard for them to hop on smooth surfaces, and it can cause sore hocks. We just got a new rug for the living room because the last one had worn out; I have a couple of older rugs in the kitchen that I inherited from Grammy, but they’re also pretty worn, they don’t match the kitchen or each other and aren’t very big. So this was an item on my shopping list, and rugs are typically SO expensive, so what a freaking savings this was!!
Huge thanks again to Kristie’s Connections and Craz-E Coupons for sharing the rug info today and making this happen! Craz-E Coupons also gave Super Coupon Girl a shoutout and shared our Sunday haul photo in her video this morning, which was really fun to watch – click here to check it out and subscribe to her channel!
