How Do I View My Kroger Ad? A Comprehensive Step-by-Step Guide
Kroger offers several convenient ways to view their weekly ad, catering to different preferences. From the comfort of your couch to on-the-go Browse, we've got you covered.
Step 1: Choose Your Viewing Method (And Get Ready to Save!)
Before we begin, think about how you prefer to access information. Are you a digital guru who loves apps and websites, or do you still appreciate the tangible feel of paper? Kroger understands that shoppers have different habits, which is why they offer a few fantastic options. Let's pick the one that's right for you!
Sub-heading: Option A: The Digital Dynamo - Online & App Access (Recommended for Maximum Savings!)
This is by far the most popular and advantageous way to view your Kroger ad. Not only is it eco-friendly, but it also allows you to seamlessly clip digital coupons directly to your Shopper's Card, build shopping lists, and even order for pickup or delivery!
Sub-heading: Option B: The Traditionalist - In-Store Print Ad
While Kroger is increasingly pushing for digital engagement, they still understand the value of a physical ad. You can often find a printed version of the weekly ad right inside your local Kroger store.
Step 2: Accessing the Digital Weekly Ad (Your Gateway to Deals!)
Now that you've decided on your preferred method, let's get into the specifics.
Sub-heading: Method 1: Using the Kroger Website
This is a fantastic option if you're on a computer or prefer a larger screen to browse.
Step 2.1: Navigate to the Kroger Website. Open your preferred web browser and go to
www.kroger.com. You'll be greeted by their homepage.Step 2.2: Select Your Preferred Store. This is crucial! The deals in the weekly ad are specific to your local store. If it's your first time visiting the site, or if you've cleared your browser history, you'll be prompted to enter your zip code or select a store. If you already have a digital account and are signed in, your preferred store should automatically be set. Make sure your chosen store is correct to see relevant deals.
Step 2.3: Find the "Weekly Ad" Link. Once your store is selected, look for a prominent link labeled "Weekly Ad." This is often found in the quick links bar at the top of the website or within a "Savings & Rewards" or "Save" drop-down menu. It's usually pretty easy to spot!
Step 2.4: Browse the Ad! Click on the "Weekly Ad" link, and voilà! You'll be presented with the current week's sales circular. You can usually flip through the pages, zoom in on items, and often, you can even click on items to add them directly to your digital shopping list or clip associated digital coupons. This is where the real saving begins!
Sub-heading: Method 2: Using the Kroger Mobile App
For convenience on the go, the Kroger app is unbeatable.
Step 2.1: Download the Kroger App. If you haven't already, download the Kroger app from your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android, Apple App Store for iOS). It's free!
Step 2.2: Create or Sign In to Your Digital Account. To fully utilize the app's features, including viewing the weekly ad and clipping coupons, you'll need a Kroger digital account. If you don't have one, you can easily create one within the app. If you do, simply sign in. Linking your Shopper's Card is essential here!
Step 2.3: Select Your Preferred Store. Similar to the website, ensure your correct preferred store is selected within the app settings. This will guarantee you're seeing the sales for your specific location.
Step 2.4: Tap on "Weekly Ad." On the app's main screen, or within a navigation menu (often labeled "Savings" or "Weekly Ad"), you'll find a clear option to view the current ad. Tap on it!
Step 2.5: Enjoy the Interactive Ad! The app often provides a more interactive experience, allowing you to quickly swipe through pages, search for specific items, and directly add items to your shopping list or clip digital coupons with a single tap. It's designed for efficiency!
Step 3: Understanding the Weekly Ad Features (Maximize Your Savings!)
The Kroger weekly ad is more than just a list of discounted items. It's a powerful tool for smart shopping!
Sub-heading: Key Sections to Look For:
Weekly Digital Deals: These are often the hottest deals and require you to clip a digital coupon to your Shopper's Card. Don't miss these!
Mega Sales: Kroger frequently runs "Mega Sales" where you save a certain amount (e.g., $1 or $2) when you buy a specified number of participating items (e.g., 5 or more). Look for these banners in the ad.
Produce & Meat Specials: These sections highlight fresh produce and meat discounts, perfect for meal planning.
Dairy & Frozen Deals: Stock up on your essentials!
Home & Health/General Merchandise: Sometimes, the ad includes non-food items, so keep an eye out.
Fuel Points Events: Look for opportunities to earn extra fuel points, which can save you money at the pump.

Consistency is key to maximizing your savings.
Step 4.1: Check Weekly. The new Kroger weekly ad typically becomes available on Wednesday at midnight ET. However, for stores in Indiana (except SE Indiana and Evansville), Illinois, and Eastern Missouri, the new ad is available on Thursday at midnight ET. Make it a habit to check the ad at the start of the week.
Step 4.2: Build Your Shopping List. As you browse the ad, create a detailed shopping list. The Kroger app and website have built-in list features that allow you to add items directly from the ad. This helps you stay organized and avoid impulse purchases.
Step 4.3: Compare with Your Pantry. Before heading to the store, take a quick inventory of your pantry and fridge. This prevents you from buying items you already have and ensures you're purchasing what you truly need.
Step 4.4: Plan Your Route. If you're physically going to the store, consider grouping items on your list by aisle to make your trip more efficient.
Step 5: Alternative Ways to Get the Ad (For Every Shopper!)
While digital is preferred, sometimes a physical ad is still helpful.
Sub-heading: Method 1: In-Store Print Circular
Step 5.1: Head to Your Local Kroger Store.
Step 5.2: Look for Ad Displays. Upon entering, check near the entrance or customer service desk for stands or racks holding the weekly printed ad circulars. They're usually quite visible.
Step 5.3: Grab a Copy. Take a copy and browse the deals as you shop.
