| How To Access Kroger Digital Coupons |
Step 1: Are You Ready to Save? The Foundation of Kroger Digital Savings
Before you can unlock the treasure trove of Kroger digital coupons, you need a few key things in place. Don't worry, it's quick and easy!
Sub-heading: Your Kroger Shopper's Card – The Key to the Kingdom
The Kroger Shopper's Card (or Plus Card, depending on your region) is your essential pass to digital savings. If you don't have one, you'll need to get one first.
If you already have a physical Shopper's Card: Great! You're halfway there.
If you don't have a Shopper's Card yet: You can easily sign up for one at any Kroger store's customer service desk. They'll issue you a physical card right away. Alternatively, you can create a virtual card when you create your digital account online or via the app (more on that in Step 2).
Sub-heading: A Kroger Digital Account – Your Personalized Savings Hub
To load digital coupons, you need a Kroger digital account. This account links directly to your Shopper's Card, ensuring your clipped coupons are automatically applied at checkout.
Step 2: Choosing Your Platform – App or Website?
Kroger offers two primary ways to access digital coupons: the official Kroger mobile app or their website. Both provide the same great savings, so choose whichever is most convenient for you.
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
Sub-heading: Option A: The Kroger Mobile App (Highly Recommended!)
The Kroger mobile app is incredibly user-friendly and offers the most seamless experience for clipping and managing your digital coupons on the go.
Download the App:
For iPhone users, head to the App Store.
For Android users, go to the Google Play Store.
Search for "Kroger" (or your regional Kroger family store name like King Soopers, Fred Meyer, Ralphs, etc.).
Download and install the app.
Create or Sign In to Your Digital Account:
New Users: Open the app and tap "Create an Account." You'll be prompted to enter your email address, create a password, and link your Shopper's Card number. If you don't have a physical card, you can create a virtual one here.
Existing Users: Open the app and tap "Sign In." Enter your email and password associated with your Kroger digital account.
Link Your Shopper's Card: If you created your digital account online previously or haven't linked your physical card, the app will guide you through this. Ensure your Shopper's Card number (usually 12 or 13 digits on the back) is correctly entered in your account profile. This is crucial for coupons to apply.
Sub-heading: Option B: The Kroger Website
If you prefer to browse and clip coupons on a larger screen, the Kroger website is a great alternative.
Navigate to the Website: Open your web browser and go to
www.kroger.com. (Again, if you shop at a Kroger family store, go to their specific website, e.g.,www.kingsoopers.com).Sign In or Create an Account:
Look for the "Sign In" or "Create an Account" option, usually in the top right corner.
New Users: Follow the prompts to create your digital account, linking your Shopper's Card as you go.
Existing Users: Enter your email address and password to log in.
Verify Your Shopper's Card: Once logged in, ensure your Shopper's Card number is linked to your account. You can typically find this under your "Account Profile" or "Settings."
Step 3: Discovering and Clipping Digital Coupons
Now for the fun part: finding those fantastic deals!
Sub-heading: Browse for Savings
Both the app and the website offer intuitive ways to browse coupons.
On the Kroger App:
Once logged in, look for a section like "Digital Coupons," "Savings," or a dedicated "Coupons" icon in the navigation bar at the bottom.
You'll see a vast array of coupons, often categorized by product type (e.g., Produce, Dairy, Frozen, Household), brand, or even "Weekly Digital Deals."
Scroll through the offers. New coupons are added regularly, so it's worth checking back often!
On the Kroger Website:
After signing in, click on the "Save" tab in the main navigation, then select "Digital Coupons."
The website also presents coupons in various categories, making it easy to navigate. You might see filters for "New Offers," "Expiring Soon," or by department.
Sub-heading: Clipping Your Desired Coupons
This is where you "load" the coupons to your Shopper's Card.
Simply Tap or Click "Clip" or "Load to Card":
When you find a coupon you want to use, simply tap the "Clip" or "Load to Card" button associated with that offer.
You'll typically see a confirmation that the coupon has been added to your card.
Important: Most coupons can only be clipped once per household. Some special offers, like "5X Digital Coupons," allow multiple uses within a single transaction up to a specified limit. Always read the coupon details!
Sub-heading: Filtering and Searching for Specific Items
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
If you have a shopping list, you can quickly find coupons for those items.
Using the Search Bar: Both the app and website have a search bar. Type in a product name (e.g., "yogurt," "cereal," "detergent") to see if there are any matching digital coupons.
Applying Filters: You can often filter coupons by:
Category: Dairy, Meat, Produce, etc.
Brand: Your favorite brands might have specific offers.
Expiring Soon: Helps you prioritize coupons before they vanish.
Personalized Offers: Kroger often provides coupons tailored to your shopping history. These are fantastic for extra savings on items you regularly buy.

This is the easiest part, as Kroger has made the redemption process incredibly smooth.

Sub-heading: In-Store Redemption
Shop for Qualifying Items: Make sure you pick up the exact items that match your clipped digital coupons (e.g., correct brand, size, flavor, quantity). Double-check the coupon details if you're unsure.
Scan Your Shopper's Card: At the checkout register:
Swipe your physical Shopper's Card.
Enter your Alternate ID (usually your phone number associated with your account).
Use Kroger Pay within the app (a single scan applies your Shopper's Card and payment). This is often the most convenient method.
Automatic Savings: Your clipped digital coupons will automatically apply to your qualifying purchases. You'll see the discounts appear on your receipt, often marked as "ecpn" (electronic coupon).
Sub-heading: Online Redemption (Pickup or Delivery)
If you're using Kroger's online ordering for pickup or delivery, the process is even simpler.
Add Items to Your Cart Online: As you add qualifying items to your virtual cart, the system will recognize the clipped coupons linked to your account.
Review Your Order: Before finalizing your order, you'll see the digital coupon discounts applied to your subtotal.
Confirm and Checkout: Complete your order, and the savings will be reflected in your final price.
Step 5: Monitoring Your Savings and Staying Organized
To truly maximize your savings, a little monitoring goes a long way.
Sub-heading: Checking Your "My Coupons" Section
Both the app and website have a "My Coupons" or "Clipped Coupons" section.
View Active Coupons: See all the coupons you've loaded to your card that haven't expired or been used yet.
Review Redeemed Coupons: Most platforms allow you to see coupons you've already used. This helps you track your savings.
Remove Unwanted Coupons: If you accidentally clip a coupon or decide not to use it, you can usually "Remove from Card" in your "My Coupons" section.
QuickTip: Slowing down makes content clearer.
Sub-heading: Weekly Ad and Personalized Offers
Combine with the Weekly Ad: Always check the weekly ad alongside your digital coupons. Sometimes, an item will be on sale and have a digital coupon, leading to incredible double-dip savings!
Embrace Personalized Offers: Kroger's system often learns your shopping habits and sends you personalized digital coupons. These are gold! Always check your email or the app for these exclusive deals.
Sub-heading: Troubleshooting Common Issues
Coupon Not Applying?: Double-check the exact product description, size, and quantity. Sometimes a small detail can prevent the coupon from working.
Expired Coupons: Digital coupons have expiration dates. Make sure to use them before they vanish!
Internet Connectivity: Ensure you have a stable internet connection when clipping coupons in the app or on the website.
Account Issues: If you're having persistent problems, contact Kroger's customer service. They can help troubleshoot account or Shopper's Card linking issues.
