Master Penny Shopping

📍 Where to Look

Start with the Clearance Section, as that’s the most obvious spot. But don’t stop there!

Check the regular aisles (home spot) because staff often restock items without realizing they’ve pennied out. Also check top shelves (sky shelves) and random endcaps throughout the store.

⏰ Timing is Key

New penny lists usually drop on Tuesdays. Go early for the best chance. However, don’t be discouraged if you can’t go Tuesday morning—sometimes items are found days or even weeks later because they were hidden or missed.

📱 App Scanning

Always set your app store location to the specific store you are physically standing in. Prices can vary by store. Scan the barcode. If it says $0.01, you found one!
