But First, Why Scan?
Is scanning at Dollar General some kind of secret shopper society handshake? Not quite, my friend. Here's the lowdown:
- Become a Barcode Buccaneer: The Dollar General app, myDG**, lets you scan items as you shop. This keeps you on budget (because who hasn't gotten to the register with a cart full of surprises and a lighter wallet?).
- Coupon Clipping Champion: Scanning also helps you find hidden discounts! The app can tell you if there are digital coupons for the items you're scanning, so you can clip those savings with a tap.
- Skip the Surprise at Checkout: Scanning lets you avoid that moment of cashier confusion when an item's price tag mysteriously vanished into the abyss (let's be honest, it happens).
