however, if you weren't ready to shop on 12/22, yes, you could buy a $30 DG Gift Card for $20 after Paypal credit.
DG also sells ITunes and perhaps some other GC's as well. Not sure their payment policy on GC (some stores are cash/debit only for GC purchases)

There is a DG by my gym, though I've never gone in lol.

spider,
yes, they have DG gift cards, however, I don't know if they are sold only in predetermined denominations or you can load a card with any amount you like. and again, I don't know the payment policy on GC's.

lexx,
probably best to read thru the FAQ's at paypal. a little too complicated to just explain in a one sentence answer to your post.

ok, i set up phone. now this is what they say about that. When you use PayPal in stores, we’ll use the payment methods below. You can add more payment methods and change your preferences anytime in your Settings.
Preferred payment method: PayPal Balance
Backup payment method: Savings *0001 how this applies to the 10 credit at DG is not apparent right now?

I did this the other day on paypal. I just followed the steps after I selected the coupon @ paypal. It seems to me, you don't need internet access on your phone. From how I read it...you don't even need your phone w/ you....just memorize the cell# and the pin you chose. =]
Here is the confirmation e-mail from paypal.......
Dear Confused Deal-Seeker,
You're ready to pay with PayPal in participating stores. And you can start shopping "TODAY" - just enter your mobile number and PIN at the register to pay. Your PayPal payment card will arrive within the next 1-2 weeks at the mailing address in your account.
After you activate the card, you can either swipe it or enter your mobile number and PIN at the register to pay. Either way, you'll get a confirmation by text or email, and an electronic sales record will be sent to your PayPal account, too.
GREEEN just got back with $43 of fair dollar store pricing for $28. Bounty is on sale 6 rolls for $5. Other things we usually buy anyway but $ General is less than wal mart on some stuff.

Very little is cheaper at Dollar General, That is how they thrive, You think it is cheaper, but it isn't. Most items I bought today is cheaper at WalMart but not much. I bought a few groceries with mine and wrapping paper.
I bought
caramel cluster candy x2 $3 each Pecan Sandies cookies- $2.75 Higher than WM Armour Summer Sausage $3 for 3 pound, get a 5 lb at WalMart for $4 Tosito spinach dip $3.25, I paid $2.50 at WalMart. chunk chicken in can $1.95, It's $1.80 at WalMart for great value brand. Fritos, $2.95 cheaper at WalMart 2L clover valley soda, $.85, $.69 at WalMart for WalMart brand. etc.. rest were about normal with WalMart price. But Dollar General is NOT cheaper.

Hit or miss, depends on a lot of factors. With gas prices you have to figure that in too. As in Dollar General is within walking distance from me, Wal-Mart is several miles each way.
Also DG runs a lot of 50% sales and clearance which can be cheaper than Wally. Depends on the item and quantity.
Anyhoot I got a whole bag of stocking stuffers & candy, plus several misc household items for about $22 out of pocket. And the 5/25 coupon for next week. Works for me.
