Picked this up this weekend.
I went to the local Dollar General store. I always go the clearance rack when I go to these stores to see what's on clearance. Well, I saw a jar of apricot preserves with the usual orange price tag on it but there was a black line through it and all I could see was the dollar sign and the number 1. So, that peeked my interest because now I was curious to see how much it actually costs because that black mark indicated to me that the price was going to be less and $1.00. So, I took 1 jar to the cash register and I asked the cashier if he could scan it for me. So, he scans it on one of his electronic devices. I then see his facial reaction and it was weird. So, he scanned it again. I got another weird look. So, then he scans it on the cash register. And this is what I heard next, "Ma'am, this is scanning for $0.01". I was like, "HUH"? So, he repeated the price of $0.01 again. So, I politely went back to the shelf and got the rest of them (the other 7 making a total of 8) and bought them. So, I purchased 8 jars of apricot preserves (not expired either) for $0.08.
So, then I get to thinking. Well if they are on sale for $0.01 at this store, I wonder if the other stores have them for that same price. Well, to make a long story short, the other stores did have them for that same price. So, I ended my Dollar General shopping spree by purchasing 18 jars of apricot preserves for a whopping $0.18. I was so proud of my little self. Now, I have to find out who eats apricot preserves, so that I can give them away.![]()
I had already given 1 to my neighbor when I took this pic.
Hope that you can see the receipts.

You really hit the jackpot there! Apricot preserves are great to eat and when they are all gobbled up, you can use the jars to keep sorted sized screw, nuts, etc.
All that pleasure and utility for just $.01 each ….. Gees, some people!

I think a small plot of land is better than larger acreage. I have 113 acres and less than one of them is developed. The rest is left as grazing for horses I have from a previous life. It is amazing how much produce you can grow from a small garden, and think of the convenience of having it near where you live. There are many advantages to managing a small garden.Hello everyone!
I came across this thread and thought it was interesting. I strive to be pretty frugal (always looking for bargains and coupon clipping and whatnot). Though there are certain things I do like to splurge on. Anyway, I wanted to say hi to everyone!!!!
I'm a stay at home mom & Army wife from Fort Bragg, NC.
I'm trying to make us be as sustainable as possible, raising our own meat & veggies and whatnot.
Difficult living in the city limits on 1/3 of an acre, but I make it work!

Don't you love it when you happen upon these deals? I have never been fortunate enough to find things there for a penny but have found things for as low as a dime when our local Dollar General has a 50-75 percent sale off their Clearance items. We must always be on the look out...
