BARGAIN-hunting shoppers are in a frenzy after a household product from Dollar General went viral.
The popular cleaning product was shown to have a hidden use and at just $1, it’s flying off the shelves.


A Facebook post set off the stampede, after a savvy user said: “These are the best dishwasher packs and I will die on this hill. 35-count for $1 at Dollar General. RUN.”
Shoppers are clearing the shelves of the budget-friendly 35-pack dishwasher pods, but not just to clean dishes.
Some customers are proudly confessing they don’t even own a dishwasher but they’re still stocking up.
Apparently these little pods are multitasking cleaning miracles.
“I don’t even have a dishwasher and I use them in the sink hahaha,” one customer commented.
Another added: “Love ’em. I put ’em in my mop bucket… toilet… sink drain… tub drain.”
Others chimed in with glowing reviews like “they work really well” and “Oooh great bargain.”
It turns out, these cheap and cheerful detergent pods aren’t just cleaning your plates, they’re tackling grime all over the house.
Pour one in the toilet for a deep clean, toss it in the sink for a powerful degrease, or melt it in your mop bucket for sparkling floors.
If you want to snap them up yourself, now’s the time.
They’re currently on offer for just $1, and with the word out, stock isn’t likely to last long.
You can use Dollar General’s online store locator to find the closest store near you.
And remember, whether you’re buying cleaning pods or anything else, always compare prices to make sure you’re getting the best bang for your buck.
Sites like Google Shopping, PriceGrabber, and ShopSavvy let you scan barcodes or search product names to find out where it’s cheapest and sometimes offer coupons too.
So before you fork out big bucks at the big-box stores, it’s worth checking if there’s a dupe or discounted version hiding on a pound shop shelf.
Meanwhile, Dollar General has taken on their rival with a new range of $1 essentials.
And the new affordable homeware buys comes just days after Dollar Tree made a major shelf change.
Elsewhere, a shopper at Dollar General has shocked fellow customers with her haul of groceries worth $400 that she only paid 98 cents for.
The pictures shared to social media had convinced people that it was fake, while others praised the products they were able to grab.
