Memphis bargain hunters who say Dollar General charged more at the register than what was posted on the shelf now have a limited-time shot at getting some of that money back.
Monday, April 13, 2026, is the deadline to file a claim in a nationwide class-action settlement involving Dollar General. The deal covers shoppers who paid a different price at checkout than the price displayed on store shelves at Dollar General stores between Oct. 10, 2016, and Nov. 19, 2025. Eligible households can submit up to two documented overcharges for cash, or register instead for a separate short-term $3 in-store discount.
Who qualifies and what you can get
According to the court-approved notice, the settlement class includes all U.S. consumers who paid a different checkout price than the shelf price during the class period. Customers who provide contemporaneous proof, such as a complaint to a government office or to Dollar General, or objective evidence like a dated receipt or photo, are eligible for a cash payment.
The notice specifies a payment of $10 or the amount of the actual overcharge, whichever is higher, for each separate documented overcharge, up to two incidents per household, for a typical maximum recovery of $20. It also includes a separate $3 in-store discount redeemable during a two‑day window. Dollar General denies wrongdoing in the filings, and those terms are laid out in the Angeion Group notice.
How to file and what you'll need
To make a claim, you must submit the official claim form online at DGPriceSettlement.com or mail a completed form so it is received or postmarked by April 13, 2026. The cash option requires documentation of the alleged overcharge. Without that proof, class members can still register for the $3 in‑store benefit by completing the registration steps on the settlement site or via a myDG account.
Practical filing tips, contact details, and instructions for updating address or phone information are summarized by settlement guides and the administrator. See OpenClassActions and local reporting from Local Memphis for examples of what documentation helps.
What happens after you file
The settlement sets aside an $8.5 million Common Fund for cash claims and values injunctive relief at no less than $6.5 million, for a Total Settlement Value of $15 million. The Settlement Administrator will review claims and, after final court approval and any appeals, distribute payments.
The formal agreement says any leftover funds may be converted to the in‑store benefit and that uncashed checks will be paid to a national food‑bank organization. The settlement agreement and notice also explain the opt‑out and objection deadlines and what claims you release if you remain in the class. For those details, see the Angeion Group filing.
