I Bought 0.01¢ Products from PopShelf: Could I get in Trouble?

[@sherryjohnston725]

Penny shopping at Popshelf and DG is a real thing. When items get discontinued and employees forget to remove them from the sales floor they will ring up a penny. You are NOT in trouble. They have a “ penny policy”. Love your videos!

[@MaraJadeSkky]

What would you say to get the penny discount?

[@sherryjohnston725]

You don’t say anything. They just ring up one penny.

[@leafyrox]

Home Depot used to have clearance items for 1 cent, but now they remove them and take them to the back to destroy. Sad.

[@smileymama04]

Ughhh my store pulls all the .01 items , so I just started dumpster diving to get all my stuff for free 🙌🙌 ( most of the time everything is new )

My Mom still gets books from them occasionally lol

[@Jeabel_S]

@@andrearisner2922I thought they were still around😄👍

[@margielee2088]

PopShelf is owned by Dollar General and I know they have penny items sometimes as part of their clearance. Penny items are supposed to be pulled from the sales floor but if they are missed by staff you can get pretty lucky.

[@Lukronius]

When I used to work at Home Depot, they would occasionally mark things down to $0.01 each. It was just to get rid of things quickly without us just throwing them away or sending them back to the vendor. One thing: employees were not allowed to buy these items. If you bought these and were caught, it was grounds for immediate termination. That’s what I was told in orientation, but I have no idea how strongly it’s enforced. Please note: I am not complaining about this. THD was/is an awesome company to work for, and a great place to shop. I’m just explaining what our policy was a few years ago.

[@jc1400]

we had the same rule at Wal-mart - so you "hid" the items, then texted a family member to come and get them

[@aprilanywhere3879]

Vivian, i don't care where you shop-n-show, i watch cause you make me laugh!😂😂 Thank you! Not enough laughter in the world! P.s. I really do like your videos 😀👍

[@barbarawalker3366]

When items ring up for $0.01 in retail stores, they were supposed to have been removed from the shelves by store employees because they are discontinued. You were lucky to have found these. Those mugs are pretty.

[@thehaven9021]

Not always that they were discontinued. In the case of DG & I think Pop Shelf, it's based on the inventory system. Some of those products that rang up a penny may go back to full price a few days or weeks later after their inventory is updated.

[@fific9571]

Loved when the smoke alarm went off. lol

[@TinaStewart1129]

One time years ago I went to the grocery store and was looking at the meat and noticed that there were T-bone steaks for 25 cents I got the 6 that were there Obviously somebody messed up they were good steaks🤤

[@emeraldskiesasmr5778]

I use to work at a store bakery. We were instructed to make the four flavor cakes from the whole cakes that were going out of date. So it by them would reset the cake expiry date. After that I never by store bakery items. Also marinated meats from the meat department seem like a good idea, but its just the meat thats going out of date.

[@scorpion-lg4ic]

I used to work at Mrs. Fields Cookies when I was 16 y.o. we were not allowed to have any waste!! if any cookies didn't sell we saved them and crumbled them up to use as the base crust for our Peanut Butter Dreambar. I learned a lot working there!! Lol

I’d have stopped in the middle of ringing up my purchases immediately to go back for the other mug! The closest PopShelf is an hour away so it’s a nice fun stop but not a regular occurrence. Join their rewards program to get a mystery box - likely discontinued things but I liked mine.

[@tanjacouch3340]

Yes I love the cord organizers. I bought them and My husband yelled at me because he said he could make them with his 3D printer. I said okay well then get to printing 😂😂😂 the only thing is they don’t stick for long so I use the super glue tape as well. ❤

Years ago I saw the wire wraps somewhere. Either I forgot about them or they're still here somewhere. LOL I have a bad habit of doing that. Last weekend cleaning out the garage I found silverware set, 2 huge boxes of bowls and a full set of pots and pans. My daughter-in-law was thrilled. I'm 84 and I have been using the same pans since I was 16 lots of use. My ex husband/boyfriend in high school was selling them. I finally tossed them in the garbage. It was hard for me, lots of memories. I'm proud of myself, I did it. Now it would thrill me no end to find the wire wraps. If I don't find them I will be on the lookout for them. Thanks Vivian for all you do for all of us. You bring so many things into our lives. Joy, laughter, cool products and memories. I love you girl. Keep making these videos. ❤❤❤❤❤

LOL at Fingerhut! I used to shop there and in fact, still have one hand towel that came with a set that I purchased back in the late 1980's. And down the street from me, there is a Dollar Tree *and* a Pop Shelf in the same strip mall. I'm thinking that I might have to take a trip there just to see what they got. Oh and my cat Sophie was watching the video with me and when the fire alarm went off, she took off thinking it was our house. Haha! Leroy on the other hand, just stayed put and continued to sleep.

It will be big as well. I would like to see you do a preview on is Ollie and see what you think about it

How crazy is this? Yesterday I went to Dollar General in Iowa. I bought 2 bottles of that new product, Pooph spray (20 FL. oz.). It really works great! They rang up $15.00 for each, then it subtracted $29.98. So each bottle cost me a penny. I was so excited...that has never happened to me either! I will definitely not be paying $15 for it! I'll stick with Febreeze! Love watching you! I also love the Dollar Tree! LA Awesome products are the bomb! Gotta give it time to soak then it'll wipe right off!

When I was a kid in the 90's, my parents ordered a bunch of stuff from the local grocery store's meat counter for a 4th of July BBQ. When we got to the checkout, the meat rang up for 1 penny. We assumed the butcher or someone who worked there ordered a similar order, so they gave us their order.

[@JZz-cv8ou]

Correct as a former manager of a dollar general items will reduce down to a penny in price that are considered "last seasons" usually identifiable through colored dots on the price tags of items within the store. Management is supposed to clear those items out but quite often they don't. Not at my local dollar general anyways.

I have penny shopped at Dollar General as we do not have any pop shelf. I have gotten many different types of items for a penny…nail polish, glasses, coffee cups, rugs, toilet paper, candy, Oreos, frozen food, lawn and garden items and even 6 blanket ladder’s. Do not mention or ask the employees for these items..as these items were supposed to be pulled..but if you find them on the sales floor, you can purchase.. It is like an adult treasure hunt..if you happen to find these items just check out.

Hello Vivian. Great deals girl!🙋‍♀️♥️♥️

[@kaelendra]

where I worked in retail 1 cent means it was being written off and was sposed to have been removed from the shelf... sometimes they are then sent back to the manufacturer such as on a recall, sometimes they've just been there so long not selling and the stores going to literally throw them in garbage/recyling.... sometimes they have to make it destroyed or damaged in some way when doing so. You couldn't get in trouble but the store employees could though typically no decent manager will do anything but remind them to remove things like that.
