Here's how I stack Dollar General coupons, cash back, and the Saturday $5 off $25, based on official myDG terms and the coupon policy as of November 13, 2026.
myDG is free for U.S. residents 18 and older, with one digital coupon account per person. In the DG app or at dollargeneral.com, clip digital coupons and cash-back offers to your myDG Wallet before you shop. Enter your account phone number at checkout, or stay logged in online, so eligible clipped coupons come off automatically. DG Cash lands in your wallet within 48 hours and is spendable in a Dollar General store, not online. Earned DG Cash does not expire; unused clipped offers can.
The official coupon policy (updated April 2018) accepts manufacturer and store coupons as original paper, valid print-at-home, or digital coupons. You may use one manufacturer coupon and one Dollar General coupon on the same item if neither forbids combining, but not two manufacturer coupons on one item. Two or more Dollar General coupons may be used in one transaction unless the coupon says otherwise. Digital coupons are manufacturer coupons unless labeled a DG Store Coupon. If a digital coupon and a paper coupon conflict on the same item, the first one applied counts, regardless of value. Dollar General does not double coupons, and you may not split a transaction to get around stacking rules.
Cash back is separate. Official myDG help, the digital coupon terms, and the coupon pages all say a digital coupon and a cash-back offer cannot apply to the same item; if both are clipped, the coupon is applied and you will not earn cash back on that item. The cash-back terms also mention the higher-value offer, so I don't clip both on one item. Digital coupons and myDG offers are not valid at pOpshelf, and no coupons — including a $5 off $25 coupon — apply to a DoorDash Dollar General order.
Dollar General has officially described a $5 off $25 promotion each Saturday, including in a July 7, 2026, newsroom release, but I treat it as a week-by-week coupon, not a standing guarantee. I checked the official public coupon gallery on Friday, November 13, 2026, and a storewide Saturday $5 off $25 basket coupon was not listed. The only "Spend $25, Save $5" coupon there was a different offer: spend $25 on select Always, Tampax, or Always Discreet products and save $5 on your next purchase. If a $5 off $25 coupon appears in your wallet, clip it before you shop and read that week's details. Official terms do not say whether the $25 is pre-tax, counted before or after other coupons, limited to one per day or account, or which items are excluded.
Shopping with family? Dollar General allows one digital coupon account per person. If your spouse or another adult in your home has their own myDG account, they can use their own $5 off $25 on their own order, checking out with their own phone number. Just don't use someone else's account to get a second discount on your own purchase. The coupon policy also says transactions can't be split up to get around coupon limits.
Here's the Saturday plan: sign in; clip item coupons and cash-back offers, one type per item; then look for that Saturday's $5 off $25 store coupon. If it's there, clip it and read the qualifying total, dates, limit, and exclusions. Build a basket that meets those rules with items you already need, and enter your myDG phone number before you pay. You can also snap the receipt in Fetch (code C8CBY). If you use Ibotta (code tmxobuc), remember that DG cash back and Ibotta may not pay on the same item. I cover that in a separate article.
Example only, with made-up prices — not a real Dollar General deal. Say your basket is $8 shampoo, $7 detergent, $6 paper towels, and $8 snacks, for $29 before tax. You clip a $1 manufacturer digital coupon on the shampoo and a $2 cash-back offer on the detergent, not both on one item. If that Saturday's $5 off $25 coupon is clipped and your basket meets its rules, you'd pay $23 before tax ($29 − $1 − $5), and $2 in DG Cash would wait for a future trip.
Ibotta code tmxobuc and Fetch code C8CBY are referral codes. If you use them to sign up, I may earn a reward at no extra cost to you.
