Dollar General $8.5 Million Settlement: Get Up to $20 If You Were Overcharged

February 4, 2026 — Dollar General has agreed to pay $8.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging the retailer charged customers more at checkout than the prices displayed on store shelves.

What the Lawsuit Alleges

The lawsuit claims Dollar General displayed one price on the shelf but charged a higher price at the register — and that it happened frequently across stores nationwide.

Dollar General denies wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid further litigation.

Who's Eligible

You may be eligible if you:

• Shopped at any Dollar General between October 2016 and November 2025
• Were charged more at checkout than the shelf price

No receipt needed — just attest that it happened to you.
