Dollar General Weekly Ad This Week

Dollar General weekly ad: this week's edition

The Dollar General weekly ad this week is posted on this page as Dollar General Weekly Ad (10/18 - 10/24 2026). It's a 16-page edition that runs from Sunday, October 18 to Saturday, October 24. Notice the Sunday start. Many grocery ads begin midweek, but this one lines up with the weekend, which matters if you plan a Sunday stop. We hold just one edition right now, so treat Sunday as what we see in this listing rather than a promise for every week.

For comparison shopping, the discount and general merchandise weekly ads page lines up similar stores, and the US weekly ad hub covers the rest.

Who is Dollar General?

This is the small-town box that seems to be everywhere. Dollar General says it was founded in 1939 and runs its corporate office in Goodlettsville, Tennessee. The company says about 75 percent of Americans live within five miles of one of its stores. According to its annual report filed with the SEC, it had 20,959 stores as of February 27, 2026, in 48 states, plus 17 in Mexico. Texas has the most stores, with 1,948, followed by North Carolina and Georgia.

Wikipedia traces the roots to J.L. Turner and Son, started in Scottsville, Kentucky, by James Luther Turner and his son Cal. The first Dollar General store opened in Springfield, Kentucky, in 1955. The stock trades on the NYSE under DG. Beyond the standard store, you'll run into a few other formats:

• DG Market, a grocery-heavy version launched in 2003.
• pOpshelf, a household-goods concept that started in 2020.
• Private brands such as Clover Valley for groceries, Gentle Steps for baby items, and TrueLiving for housewares.

Dollar General hours: Sunday, holidays and "open now"

Hours are among the most typed searches for this chain, with "dollar general hours on sunday," "is dollar general open on thanksgiving," and "what time does dollar general close" all showing up in Google's suggestions. The hours a branch keeps, and whether it opens on holidays, depend on its location and on local regulations. Local branch postings and shop-front signage give the schedule that actually applies to you. Hours are set store by store. Use the store locator on dollargeneral.com, and double-check before Thanksgiving or Christmas Day, when plenty of stores change their schedule.

Digital coupons, the DG app and how to save

The official newsroom links to a digital coupons site, a DG app, DG GO! with a cart calculator, and myDG. That's the savings toolkit you'll find on the company's own pages. Shoppers regularly search for "dollar general digital coupons sign in" and "dollar general rewards app," and we saw both in the suggestions. Read the terms inside the app before you count on a coupon.

A practical way to use the weekly ad: scan it for staples, then check the app for extra offers on those exact items before you walk in.

Pickup and delivery from Dollar General

Dollar General lists DG Pickup under services on its newsroom. On September 23, 2026, it also announced a partnership with Instacart. The company says a pilot will cover roughly 7,000 Dollar General and pOpshelf stores in six states, with a plan to reach about 20,000 stores across 48 states, and delivery in as little as an hour. The announcement didn't mention fees. If you want your store included, look inside the Instacart app, because the rollout was still in its early phase when we checked.

Good to know before you shop

Plenty of readers ask about "dollar general return policy" and "dollar general price match." Neither one came from an official page we could open, and the pages that ranked in search were low-quality copies, so we left their numbers out. Ask at the register or read the return terms on dollargeneral.com. Policies on returns, refunds and price matching vary by retailer, branch and product type, and local consumer-protection rules apply on top. For a purchase that matters, confirm the terms with the customer-service team first.

Other dollar-store ads to compare

Dollar shopping is a numbers game, so take a look at the Family Dollar weekly ad, the Dollar Tree weekly ad, and the Ollie's weekly ad for closeout-style finds. Selection and offers differ by location.

If Dollar General is on your list this week, read the current edition first. Make a short list from the pages you care about and compare it with what you already have at home. Advertised items may sell out or be limited to certain branches; ask the store when in doubt.
