With Kroger's digital coupons on your phone, saving money has never been easier or more convenient! Let's dive into this comprehensive guide and get you set up for smart shopping.
The Power of Digital Savings: Why You Need Kroger Digital Coupons
Kroger digital coupons are essentially electronic versions of traditional coupons. They offer discounts, deals, and special offers on a wide range of products, from fresh produce to pantry staples and household essentials. The best part? They're linked directly to your Kroger Shopper's Card, meaning the savings are automatically applied when you scan your card or use your alternate ID at checkout. No more forgetting coupons at home or sifting through your wallet!

| How Do I Get Kroger Digital Coupons On My Phone |
Step 1: Embark on Your Digital Savings Journey – Download the Kroger App!
Alright, first things first! Before we can start clipping those fantastic digital coupons, you need to have the Kroger app on your smartphone. This app is your gateway to a seamless and rewarding shopping experience.
Sub-heading: Getting the App on Your Device
-
For iPhone Users: Open the App Store on your iPhone. In the search bar at the bottom, type "Kroger" and hit search. Look for the official Kroger app (it usually has the Kroger logo). Tap "Get" and then "Install" to download it. You might need to enter your Apple ID password or use Face ID/Touch ID.
-
For Android Users: Open the Google Play Store on your Android device. In the search bar at the top, type "Kroger" and press the search icon. Find the official Kroger app (again, look for the distinctive logo). Tap "Install" to begin the download.
Pro-Tip: Make sure you're connected to Wi-Fi to avoid using up your mobile data!
Step 2: Setting Up Your Kroger Digital Account (or Logging In!)
Once the app is downloaded, it's time to either create a new digital account or log in to your existing one. This account is crucial for accessing and managing your digital coupons.
Sub-heading: New User? Welcome to the Savings Club!
-
Open the Kroger App: Launch the app you just downloaded.
-
Tap "Create Account" or "Sign Up": You'll usually see an option to create a new account if you don't have one.
-
Enter Your Information: You'll be prompted to provide details like your email address, create a password, and provide your zip code.
-
Link Your Shopper's Card: This is a critical step! If you already have a physical Kroger Shopper's Card, you'll be asked to enter its number. This connects your existing card to your new digital account. If you don't have a Shopper's Card, don't worry! The app will often give you the option to create a "virtual" Shopper's Card or link one using your phone number as an "alternate ID."
-
Agree to Terms and Conditions: Read through them (or at least scroll through) and accept to proceed.
-
Verify Your Account (if prompted): Some accounts might require email verification. Check your email inbox for a message from Kroger and follow the instructions.

Tip: Compare what you read here with other sources.
-
Open the Kroger App: Launch the app.
-
Tap "Sign In" or "Log In": Enter your registered email address and password.
-
Ensure Your Shopper's Card is Linked: Double-check in your account settings within the app that your Shopper's Card (or alternate ID, usually your phone number) is correctly linked. If not, follow the prompts to add or verify it.
Remember: Your Shopper's Card is what tells the Kroger system to apply your clipped digital coupons at checkout!
Step 3: Discovering and Clipping Your Digital Coupons
Now for the fun part – finding those amazing deals! The Kroger app makes it incredibly easy to browse and "clip" (add) coupons to your Shopper's Card.
Sub-heading: Navigating to the Digital Coupons Section
-
Open the Kroger App and Log In: Make sure you're signed into your account.
-
Look for "Savings" or "Digital Coupons": On the main navigation bar or homepage of the app, you'll typically find a section dedicated to "Savings" or "Digital Coupons." Tap on it.
-
Browse the Categories: Kroger organizes coupons into various categories (e.g., "Dairy & Cheese," "Produce," "Household," "Weekly Digital Deals"). You can also often sort by expiration date or even search for specific products.
Sub-heading: The Art of "Clipping" Coupons
-
Scroll and Explore: Take your time to scroll through the available coupons. New ones are added regularly, so it's always worth checking back.
-
Tap "Clip" or "Load to Card": When you see a coupon you want to use, simply tap the "Clip" or "Load to Card" button associated with it. That's it! The coupon is now electronically linked to your Shopper's Card.
-
Check Details: Before clipping, it's always a good idea to tap on the coupon itself to view the full details, including:
-
Expiration Date: When does the deal end?
-
Qualifying Items: Are there specific sizes, flavors, or brands required?
-
Limit per Transaction: Can you use it multiple times in one transaction (e.g., "Use up to 5 times") or is it a one-time use?
-
-
"My Coupons" Section: After clipping, you can usually navigate to a "My Coupons" or "Clipped Coupons" section within the app. This is where you can see all the digital coupons you've loaded to your card.
Important Note: Once a coupon is clipped to your card, it's generally active immediately. However, in rare cases due to connectivity or network issues, it might take a few minutes to fully sync.
Step 4: Redeeming Your Digital Coupons at Checkout
You've done the hard work of finding and clipping your coupons. Now, let's make sure those savings actually apply at the register!
Sub-heading: In-Store Redemption
-
Shop for Qualifying Items: Make sure you're purchasing the exact items that match your clipped digital coupons (check those sizes, brands, and quantities!).
-
At the Register (Checkout):
-
Scan Your Physical Shopper's Card: If you have a physical card, simply swipe it at the payment terminal.
-
Enter Your Alternate ID: If you linked your account with your phone number, you can usually enter that as your "alternate ID" on the keypad at checkout.
-
Use the Kroger App Barcode (Recommended!): This is often the easiest and most reliable method. Open the Kroger app, go to your account or "Shopper's Card" section, and you'll typically find a scannable barcode there. Have the cashier scan this barcode. This ensures your account is recognized and all loaded digital coupons are applied.
-
Kroger Pay (If Available): If you've set up Kroger Pay within the app (which links your payment method and Shopper's Card), a single scan will apply your digital coupons and process your payment simultaneously. Super convenient!
-
-
Verify Savings on Your Receipt: After your transaction, always check your receipt. Digital coupon savings will appear underneath the qualifying item, often identified with an "ecpn" or similar code. This confirms that the discounts were applied.
Sub-heading: Online Pickup or Delivery Redemption
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
If you use Kroger's Pickup or Delivery services, the process is even more straightforward:
-
Shop Online via the App or Website: Add items to your online cart as usual.
-
Coupons Apply Automatically: As long as you're logged into your Kroger digital account (the same one where you clipped your coupons), the relevant digital coupon savings will automatically deduct from your total when you add qualifying items to your cart. You'll see the discount reflected in your order summary.
Important Tip: If you notice a coupon didn't apply in-store, speak to the cashier immediately. They can often manually adjust it or guide you. If you realize it after leaving, you may need to contact Kroger's customer service.
Step 5: Maximizing Your Kroger Savings
Beyond just clipping coupons, there are ways to become a Kroger savings pro!
Sub-heading: Weekly Digital Deals
Keep an eye out for "Weekly Digital Deals" or "5x Digital Coupons." These are often special, higher-value coupons that can sometimes be used up to five times in a single transaction, offering significant savings on everyday essentials.
Sub-heading: Fuel Points and Personalized Offers
Your Kroger digital account also tracks your Fuel Points (earn points with purchases to save on gas!) and generates personalized offers based on your shopping history. Make sure to check these regularly within the app for even more tailored savings.
Sub-heading: Planning Your Shopping Trip
Before heading to the store, use the Kroger app to:
-
View your Weekly Ad: See what's on sale and combine it with digital coupons.
-
Build a Shopping List: Add items from the weekly ad and your clipped coupons directly to your in-app shopping list. This helps you stay organized and ensures you don't miss out on deals.
Congratulations! You're now a Kroger Digital Coupon Master!
