Things drop down to just a penny. My sister - the Coupon Queen - routinely hits several DGs to get the items for herself, family members, friends, and charities because otherwise the items are just resent back to the warehouse and normally destroyed. She's showed up at my place to show off her latest hauls, and she's literally had dozens of kid pajamas, stuffed toys, etc. that cost her less than $5 that she's donated to Ronald McDonald House and other groups. It's crazy what she finds. My sister-in-law and I currently have several packages of luncheon meat and hot dogs in my freezer that she just found.
