I’ve told you that Dollar General takes coupons. (As far as I know it’s straight value, not double coupon. But do the math, because single coupons can sometimes work out very nicely when prices are low to begin with.)

Maybe you didn’t know DG also take Michigan Bridge Card (EBT / food stamp card).

Here’s another neat trick: Dollar General has a rebate program. The current rebate flier is valid from May 24 to July 6. It works like this:

• Pick up a rebate book in the store or print off a mail-in form from the web site.
• Save all the original cash register receipts from eligible products.
• Circle the rebate items and print the offer number next to the price.
• Mail the entire packet to the rebate address.

There are 37 rebate offers this month with up to $100 in savings eligible. You’ll find a quick peek of this program in the coupon fliers that were in the Sunday newspaper.

There are no Dollar General stores in the city of Monroe, but some of you live or work near these locations:

• 25702 Gibraltar Rd., Flat Rock.
• 8220 Lewis Ave., Temperance.
• 5860 Lewis Ave., Building 127, Toledo.
