Shoppers heading out to Dollar General grocery stores this weekend should scan this coupon matchup for the Wow Deals, since they can score great prices on cookies, laundry detergent, and more.  The best of the Wow Deals are discussed in detail below.

What shoppers need to know about Dollar General

If you've never shopped at Dollar General, you should know the chain accepts both manufacturer coupons and their own store-only coupons, which means you can stack coupons for the same item to get even bigger savings. Dollar General also accepts printable coupons, as long as they require a purchase -- in other words, a Buy One Get One Free coupon will be accepted, but a Try Me Free coupon may not be.

You can view the complete Dollar General coupon policy on their website.

Dollar General is also actively expanding its Facebook presence, and is currently releasing Dollar General coupons to its Facebook fans each Friday.   Click here to like Dollar General on Facebook.
