This post brought to you by Dollar General. All opinions are 100% mine.
If you are a brand loyal shopper, did you know that Dollar General carries all the big brand names? I know that I used to believe that “dollar stores” only carried generics. However, this isn’t the case. At Dollar General, you can find all the same brands as your local grocery store or pharmacy. The pricing is better or competitive with other stores and you can find just about anything you need. It is perfect for picking up quick brand name grocery items – when you don’t feel like navigating the grocery store.
I decide to take a look at the Dollar General sales this week and see what brand names I could find in store. There were even more than I thought. I was able to find all the major P&G Products and Unilever brands.
Now, your sales and store will vary slightly, but here is just an idea of some of the brands I was able to find.
Beauty
I was able to find brands like Gillette, TRESemme, Suave, Clearasil, Olay and Neutrogena! These top brands were less expensive than my local drug store.
Personal Care
Colgate, Crest, Tampax, Aleve and Centrum are all brands that Dollar General carries.
Food
The selection of brand name foods was suprising. They had everything from Maxwell House to Heinz Ketchup to Honey Nut Cheerios.
Household
Yep, all of the major household items you are looking for! Everything from Ziploc bags to Cascade to Airwick.
So my misconception that Dollar General carried just generics was wrong. In fact, there were more major brands than generics.
What items where you suprised Dollar General had? Don’t forget you can use coupons at Dollar General to save even more on brand name products! Happy Saving.

Dollar General just built a new store in my tiny town. It is so nice! It was a great addition to our town.
