Step 1: Engage Your Device for Digital Savings!
Before we begin, grab your smartphone or tablet! Is it an Android device or an Apple iPhone/iPad? Knowing this will help us navigate to the correct app store. This process is surprisingly quick, and soon you'll be on your way to clipping digital coupons and building your shopping list with ease.
Understanding App Store Basics
For Android Users: You'll be using the Google Play Store. This is the official marketplace for Android apps.
For iOS (Apple) Users: You'll be using the Apple App Store. This is where all iPhone and iPad apps reside.
Step 2: Locating the Kroger Digital App
Now that you know your device's operating system, let's find the app!
Sub-heading 2.1: On Android Devices (Google Play Store)
Open the Google Play Store: Look for the icon that looks like a colorful triangle (often red, green, blue, and yellow) on your device's home screen or in your app drawer. Tap on it to open.
Search for "Kroger": Once the Play Store is open, you'll see a search bar at the top. Tap on it and type "Kroger". Press the search button (usually a magnifying glass icon) on your keyboard.
Identify the Official App: You should see "Kroger" by "The Kroger Co." as one of the top results. It's crucial to ensure you're downloading the official app to protect your data and access legitimate savings. The app icon typically features the Kroger logo.
Tap "Install": Once you've confirmed it's the correct app, tap the green "Install" button. Your device will begin downloading and installing the app. This might take a moment depending on your internet connection.
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
Sub-heading 2.2: On iOS Devices (Apple App Store)
Open the App Store: Find the blue icon with a white "A" inside a circle, often on your home screen. Tap it to open.
Navigate to Search: At the bottom of the App Store screen, you'll see a menu. Tap on the "Search" icon (magnifying glass).
Search for "Kroger": Tap on the search bar at the top of the screen and type "Kroger". Hit the "Search" key on your keyboard.
Identify the Official App: Look for "Kroger" by "The Kroger Co." in the search results. Again, verify it's the official app by checking the developer name and the familiar Kroger logo.
Tap "Get" (and potentially authenticate): Once you've found the right app, tap the "Get" button. You might be prompted to enter your Apple ID password, use Touch ID, or Face ID to confirm the download.
Step 3: Launching the Kroger App for the First Time
Congratulations! The Kroger Digital App is now on your device. Let's open it up.
Sub-heading 3.1: Finding and Tapping the App Icon
After installation, the Kroger app icon will appear on your home screen or in your app drawer (for Android). Locate the familiar Kroger logo and tap on it to open the application.
Sub-heading 3.2: Initial App Prompts and Permissions
The first time you open the app, it might ask for certain permissions, such as access to your location (for finding nearby stores) or sending notifications (for deals and order updates). It's generally recommended to allow these for the best app experience, though you can adjust them later in your device settings if you wish.
Step 4: Creating or Linking Your Kroger Digital Account
This is a crucial step to unlock all the benefits of the Kroger app, especially digital coupons and personalized savings.
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
Sub-heading 4.1: For New Kroger Customers (No Digital Account Yet)
Select "Register" or "Create Account": On the app's welcome screen, you'll likely see an option to "Register" or "Create Account." Tap on it.
Enter Your Information: You'll be asked to provide details such as your email address, create a password, and provide your name and zip code. Choose a strong, unique password!
Link Your Shopper's Card (or Create a Virtual One): If you already have a physical Kroger Plus Shopper's Card, you'll be prompted to enter its 12 or 13-digit number. This links your existing card to your new digital account, ensuring all your past points and existing benefits transfer over.
If you don't have a Shopper's Card, don't worry! The app will usually offer to create a "virtual" Shopper's Card for you during this registration process. This means you'll still get all the digital savings without needing a physical card.
Agree to Terms and Conditions: Read through the terms and conditions and privacy policy (or at least scroll through them) and tap "Agree" or "Accept" to proceed.
Verify Your Account (Optional but Recommended): You might receive a verification email or text message. Follow the instructions to confirm your account, which adds an extra layer of security.
Sub-heading 4.2: For Existing Kroger Digital Account Holders
Select "Sign In" or "Log In": On the app's welcome screen, choose the "Sign In" or "Log In" option.
Enter Your Credentials: Input the email address and password associated with your existing Kroger digital account.
Tap "Sign In": Once your details are entered, tap the "Sign In" button.
Troubleshooting Login Issues: If you have trouble logging in, look for a "Forgot Password" link. You'll typically be sent an email with instructions to reset your password. If your Shopper's Card isn't linked, you can usually do so from within your account settings once logged in.
Step 5: Exploring the Kroger App's Features
Once logged in, you'll discover a powerful tool for grocery shopping!
Sub-heading 5.1: Key Features to Look For
Digital Coupons: This is often the most popular feature. Tap on the "Coupons" or "Digital Coupons" section. You can browse hundreds of coupons and simply tap "Clip" or "Load to Card" to add them to your Shopper's Card. They'll automatically apply at checkout when you scan your card or use your alternate ID.
Weekly Ad: View the current weekly sales flyer for your preferred store. Easily add sale items directly to your shopping list.
Shopping List: Build and manage your grocery list right in the app. You can add items manually, from the weekly ad, or from digital coupons. This list can then be used in-store or for online orders.
