Early edition for October 18–24, 2026. Get a head start on the new Dollar General week with the coupon matches and advertised offers below. Checked Saturday evening, October 17. The early ad scan is dated October 18–24; the official ad for our reference store still displayed the week ending October 17 when checked.
We separate coupons already visible on Dollar General’s own site from offers advertised for the upcoming week. Do not shop a next-week price early or assume a coupon advertised in the preview is already available to clip.
Price reference: The live coupon-product lists below used 3005 W. Columbus Drive, Tampa, Florida. These are examples from that store, not a promise for every Florida or U.S. location. Change to your store and scan the exact item before shopping. All amounts are USD before tax. No later rewards, rebate-app offers or Saturday $5-off-$25 coupon are included.

Four coupon matches verified on DG’s own site
Gain EZ-Squeeze dish soap: $1.50 each
- Buy two eligible Gain EZ-Squeeze 24.3-oz bottles at the listed $3 each: $6.
- Use one $3-off-2 digital manufacturer coupon, expiring October 24.
- Pay $3 for two before tax, or $1.50 each. No reward redemption is needed.
The coupon names 24.3 oz and excludes trial/travel sizes. DG also displayed a 21.6-oz product in its qualifying list, but do not assume a different bottle qualifies without scanning it. The 24.3-oz Honey Berry Hula bottle was marked out of stock at the reference store. Limit one coupon per household and qualifying purchase; do not combine paper and digital manufacturer coupons on the same items. Not valid in Puerto Rico. Read the Gain coupon and eligible products.
Vaseline 10-oz lotion: $2.50 each at the reference price
- Buy two Vaseline Intensive Care Nourishing Moisture 10-fl-oz lotions at $4.50 each: $9.
- Use one $4-off-2 Vaseline digital manufacturer coupon, expiring October 31.
- Pay $5 for two before tax, or $2.50 each.
The matching Vaseline Men Extra Strength 10-fl-oz bottle was also listed at $4.50. The coupon excludes 1.4-oz sticks and trial/travel sizes, requires two qualifying lotions, and permits one coupon per qualifying purchase. It is not valid in Puerto Rico. If your price is $5 per bottle, the pair costs $6 after the coupon instead. Read the Vaseline coupon and eligible products.
Colgate Optic White Advanced: $3.35 each at the reference price
- Buy two Colgate Optic White Advanced Sparkling White 3.2-oz toothpastes at $6.35 each: $12.70.
- Use one $6-off-2 qualifying toothpaste digital manufacturer coupon, expiring October 24.
- Pay $6.70 for two before tax, or $3.35 each.
This exact tube appeared in DG’s eligible-product list. Do not substitute a different Colgate line simply because it is cheaper. One coupon covers the two-item purchase; the terms allow no more than two identical coupons for the same product per day, but this scenario uses the digital offer only once. Not valid in Puerto Rico. Read the $6-off-2 coupon · Check the exact tube.
Scott ComfortPlus: $4 per pack without a spend-threshold stack
- Buy two Scott ComfortPlus 12 Family Roll packs, 173 sheets per roll, at $5 each: $10.
- Use one $2-off-2 Scott digital manufacturer coupon, expiring October 24.
- Pay $8 for two before tax, or $4 each.
The coupon is for eligible Scott toilet paper, not paper towels. It permits one coupon per qualifying purchase and prohibits combining another coupon on the products. This simple two-pack example does not reach the separate $15 instant-savings threshold, and no storewide coupon is deducted. Read the Scott coupon and qualifying packs.
Upcoming ad offers to plan, not yet confirmed as clipped coupons
These values and package descriptions appear in the retailer’s October 18–24 ad scan. The arithmetic below is the advertised result only: open the new week’s coupon, check its individual dates, limit and eligible products, and clip it before relying on the price. Saturday’s expiring offers are not substitutes.
- Gain laundry: three for $10 with the advertised digital coupon. Includes selected 32–39-oz liquid, 15-count Flings, 5.7-oz Fireworks, 35–44-oz softener or 110-count sheets. Buy three qualifying items; about $3.33 each. This is a coupon offer, not an unconditional shelf sale.
- Tombstone pizza, 19.3–21.1 oz: two for $10, less the advertised $3-off-2 digital coupon = $7 for two, or $3.50 each.
- Cascade ActionPacs, selected 22–38 ct: $11.25 less the advertised $2 digital coupon = $9.25.
- Tide Simply liquid, 94–107 oz: $9.95 less the advertised $2 digital coupon = $7.95.
- Gain Plus Super Flings, 45 ct, or selected 177–194-oz liquid: $19.95 less the advertised $3 digital coupon = $16.95.
- General Mills cereal, selected 8.9–12 oz: two for $6 less the advertised $1-off-2 digital coupon = $5 for two, or $2.50 each. Large-size boxes excluded.
The separate Gain $5-off-$30 promotion has additional requirements in the ad, including a laundry item and a fabric-enhancer item. It is not automatically added to the three-for-$10 scenario. No combined Gain or Saturday basket is promised here.
Sale and instant-savings picks without an assumed coupon
- Pepsi or Mountain Dew 12-packs: three for $16, about $5.33 each; must buy three. Deposits or applicable bottle charges are extra.
- Folgers K-Cups, 10 ct: two for $10, or $5 each; must buy two.
- Mars Halloween mix bags, 20.13–25.67 oz: buy two at $11 each and get one free. Pay $22 for three equal-priced qualifying bags, about $7.33 each.
- Scott instant savings: save $3 when spending $15 on qualifying ComfortPlus tissue or Scott paper towels. At the verified $5 ComfortPlus price, three eligible packs would be $12 after that instant discount. No additional coupon is deducted in this alternative.
- Pop-Tarts, 8 ct: two for $4, or $2 per box; buy two.
- Post cereal, selected 10–14.75 oz: two for $6, or $3 each; buy two and exclude large-size boxes.
What we are not counting
The $1.25 Snuggle/Purex coupon visible Saturday expired October 17, so it is not carried into the new week. The visible $5-off-$25 store coupon also expired October 17; an October 24 version must be checked when issued. Account-specific cash-back cards, unverified Fetch offers and extra coupon stacks have not been subtracted from any total.
