Dollar General Launches New Mobile Couponing App, Extends Cyber Monday Deals

November 28, 2012

On Monday, Dollar General launched its first ever mobile app, complete with coupons and loaded with Cyber Monday deals. Before the launch, customers looking to utilize Dollar General mobile offers had to redeem promo codes by visiting the DG mobile site. But now, with the new app, everything is in one place, including a store locator, a grocery list generator (with photo and QR scanning options), and current store ads.

What’s in the app right now?

 

Mobile Coupons. You can redeem these by presenting each coupon’s code to your cashier. But, if you’ve got some Dollar General shopping to do, I’d suggest waiting until Dec 1, when the $5 off your total purchase coupons is also valid.

You can check out Dollar General’s Cyber Monday deals (extended through November 30) in the app too:

Dollar General generally offers free shipping with $40 purchases, but, this week, you’ll get free shipping with $25 dollar purchases, pus 10-15% off already extremely low prices. Check out the $8 mixers and irons plus $20 blenders and LCD video cameras:

Plus, when you order online, you can take $5 off your purchase with this coupon code:

Dollar General also offers a large variety of print coupons online.

Are You Using Text Coupons? 10 Stores to Get You Started

September 14, 2012

Text coupons are a totally convenient, easy way to stay connected to your favorite stores/eateries and their latest sales and promotions. When you sign up for your favorite store’s text messaging service, you’ll get savings opportunities fast, and, most of the time, you don’t even need a smart phone to use them.

Text coupons usually come with a code and a short expiration date. Here’s one I received for Jo-Ann Fabrics yesterday:

A lot of times, a retailer’s text coupons won’t be much different than those you can find in print, online, or in the store’s own app. This is the case with the above Jo-Ann coupon. But some stores, like Target, offer great, exclusive savings through their text messaging services. Target text coupons are cool because they send you to a website, where you can see what you’re saving on and your cashier can scan a special bar code.

The great thing about all text coupons is that they’re loud. They let you know when they’re there without any effort on your part. You don’t have to go digging for text coupons like other offers in print ads, smart phone apps, or online. Text coupons really make it impossible not to save.

Here are ten great retailers you should be getting text messages from now:

  1. Arby’s: Arby’s offers great deals and freebie text messages all the time. Go here to sign up or text CLUB to 27297 . (Up to 6 messages/week)
