Step 1: Become a Kroger Member (It's Free and Essential!)
Before you can clip a single digital coupon, you need to be part of the Kroger family. This isn't just about coupons; it's about unlocking fuel points, personalized offers, and a ton of other perks.
Sub-heading: Create Your Free Digital Account
If you already have a Kroger Shopper's Card, great! You'll just need to link it to your new digital account. This is a crucial step that connects all your savings directly to your card.
If you don't have a Shopper's Card, no problem! You can easily create a new digital account on the Kroger website or through the mobile app. They'll even give you a digital card number or "Alt ID" to use at the checkout. It's a quick and simple process.
Why is this so important? Your digital account is the command center for all your savings. It's where you'll find, clip, and manage your digital coupons. Without it, you can't access these exclusive deals.

Step 2: Find and "Clip" Your Digital Coupons
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.
This is the fun part! Once your account is set up, you can start Browse for deals. Think of "clipping" a digital coupon like tearing a paper coupon out of a newspaper—but instead of getting a paper copy, you're loading the deal directly onto your Shopper's Card.
Sub-heading: Browse Coupons on the Website or App
You have two main ways to do this:
The Kroger Website: Log in to your account and navigate to the "Savings" section, then click on "Digital Coupons." You'll be presented with a large selection of coupons. You can filter them by category (e.g., "Dairy," "Frozen," "Produce") or use the search bar to find a specific product.
The Kroger Mobile App: This is often the most convenient method. The app is a game-changer! Once you're logged in, just tap on the "Coupons" or "Savings" tab. You'll see all the available coupons listed there.
Sub-heading: The "Clip" Button
When you find a coupon you want, just tap or click the "Clip" or "Load to Card" button. The coupon will be added to your digital Shopper's Card. You'll know it's clipped when the button changes from "Clip" to "Clipped." That's it! You don't have to print anything or remember to bring a physical copy. The savings are now linked to your account.
Pro Tip: Take advantage of the search and filter features. If you know you need cereal, for example, just search for "cereal" to see all the available offers. This saves a ton of time and helps you avoid scrolling through hundreds of deals.
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.
Step 3: Redeem Your Coupons at Checkout
This is where all your hard work pays off. Redeeming your digital coupons is the easiest part of the process.
Sub-heading: In-Store Redemption
When you are checking out at the store, there are a few ways to ensure your coupons are applied:
 |
Swipe Your Physical Shopper's Card: The most traditional method. Just swipe your card at the card reader, and the system will automatically recognize your account and apply all the clipped digital coupons for qualifying items in your cart.
Enter Your Alternate ID (Alt ID): If you don't have your physical card, you can simply type in your phone number (or the Alt ID you created) on the keypad at the checkout.
Use Kroger Pay: This is a fantastic feature of the Kroger app. When you're ready to check out, open the app, go to "Kroger Pay," and let the cashier scan the QR code that appears on your phone. This single scan handles both payment and the application of all your coupons and loyalty perks. It's incredibly fast and efficient.
Sub-heading: Online Redemption (Pickup or Delivery)
If you're shopping online for pickup or delivery, the process is even more seamless.
QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.
When you are logged in to your Kroger account and adding items to your digital cart, the system will automatically show you which clipped coupons will apply to your purchase.
The coupon savings will be reflected in your total before you finalize your order. There's no extra step required at the time of pickup or delivery.
Step 4: Verify Your Savings
Once you've checked out, you'll want to make sure your coupons were applied correctly. This is a crucial step to ensure you received every single discount you earned.
Check Your Receipt: Look at your receipt for each item that had a digital coupon. The discount will typically be listed directly under the item and identified as "ecpn" or "digital coupon."
Check Your App or Online Account: After your purchase, your "Clipped Coupons" section will move the used coupons to a "Redeemed Coupons" list. You can see your savings history and verify that everything went through as expected.
By following these simple steps, you'll be a master of Kroger's digital coupon system in no time. Happy saving!
