Step 1: Embark on Your Digital Savings Journey – Get Your Kroger Account & Shopper's Card
Ready to start saving? Your very first step is to ensure you have the necessary tools to access Kroger's digital world.
Sub-heading: Joining the Kroger Family Online
Option 1: The Kroger Website. Head over to the official Kroger website (
www.kroger.com Option 2: The Kroger Mobile App. Download the Kroger app from your smartphone's app store (available for both iOS and Android). Once installed, open the app and look for the "Sign In" or "Create Account" prompt.
Creating Your Account. The registration process is straightforward. You'll need to provide an email address and create a password. This will be your digital gateway to all things Kroger, including your coupons!
Linking or Getting a Shopper's Card. During the account creation process, you'll be prompted to link an existing Kroger Shopper's Card or create a new "Alternate ID" (often your phone number). This is crucial! Your Shopper's Card is what ties all your digital coupons to your purchases. If you don't have a physical card, creating an Alternate ID online or asking for one at the customer service desk in a Kroger store will work just as well.
Step 2: Discovering a Treasure Trove of Deals – Finding Digital Coupons
Now that your account is set up, it's time for the fun part: finding those amazing discounts!
Sub-heading: Navigating the Digital Coupon Landscape
On the Website: After logging in, look for a prominent section labeled "Digital Coupons," "Savings," or "Deals." This will take you to a dedicated page where all available digital coupons are listed.
On the Mobile App: Similarly, within the app, you'll find a section for "Digital Coupons" or "Savings." It's usually easily accessible from the main navigation.
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.
Sub-heading: Exploring Coupon Categories and Filters
Kroger organizes its digital coupons to help you find what you need quickly.
Browse by Category: You'll often see categories like "Dairy & Cheese," "Produce," "Snacks," "Household," and more. This is great if you're looking for savings on specific types of products.
Search Function: Have a particular item in mind? Use the search bar to find coupons for specific brands or products.
"Weekly Digital Deals": Keep an eye out for special weekly deals that offer significant savings. These are often highlighted prominently. Recently, Kroger has also introduced printed "Weekly Digital Deals" flyers at store entrances, allowing shoppers to scan a single barcode at checkout to load all the digital deals for that week onto their account, bypassing individual digital coupon selection. This is a fantastic option for those who prefer not to use a smartphone or internet for coupon clipping.
"Free Friday Download" (if available): In the past, Kroger offered a "Free Friday Download" where you could get a free item. While this specific promotion may vary, always keep an eye out for similar one-day or limited-time freebie offers.
Step 3: Clipping to Save – Adding Coupons to Your Card
This is where you activate the coupons you want to use. Think of "clipping" as digitally putting the coupon into your wallet.
Sub-heading: The "Clip" or "Load to Card" Action
As you browse the coupons, you'll see a button next to each offer, typically labeled "Clip" or "Load to Card."
Simply tap or click this button for every coupon you wish to use. Once you click it, the coupon is electronically linked to your Shopper's Card. You don't need to do anything else to "save" it.
Important Note: Most digital coupons are one-time use per household unless explicitly stated otherwise.
My Coupons Section: After clipping, you can often go to a "My Coupons" section (on the website or app) to see a list of all the digital coupons you've loaded to your card. This is a great way to keep track of your savings.
Step 4: Seamless Redemption – Using Digital Coupons in Store
This is where all your smart clipping pays off at the checkout!
Sub-heading: At the Register
Scan Your Shopper's Card: When you're ready to check out at the self-checkout or with a cashier, simply scan your physical Kroger Shopper's Card, enter your Alternate ID (usually your phone number), or use Kroger Pay (if you have it set up).
Automatic Application: The magic happens here! Any qualifying digital coupons you loaded to your card will automatically be applied to your purchase. You don't need to tell the cashier which coupons you have or show your phone.
Check Your Receipt: After your transaction, take a moment to review your receipt. Digital coupon discounts will typically appear as "ecpn" next to the discounted item. This is your confirmation that your savings were applied.
Sub-heading: Using Digital Coupons for Online Orders (Pickup & Delivery)
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.
If you're shopping online for Kroger Pickup or Delivery, ensure your Shopper's Card is linked to your digital account.
As you add qualifying items to your cart, the corresponding digital coupon discounts will typically be automatically reflected in your cart total. You don't usually need to manually "clip" them again within the online shopping process if they're already loaded to your card.

Sub-heading: Weekly Ad Synergy
Combine and Conquer: Always check the Kroger Weekly Ad alongside the digital coupons. Often, items featured in the weekly ad will have corresponding digital coupons, allowing you to stack discounts for even greater savings.
Plan Your Shopping List: Before heading to the store, make it a habit to browse both the weekly ad and the digital coupons. Create your shopping list around items that have digital coupons and are already on sale.
Sub-heading: Understanding Coupon Stacking (and its limits!)
Kroger's policy generally allows one manufacturer coupon (digital or paper) per item. This means you typically cannot use a digital manufacturer coupon and a paper manufacturer coupon on the same single item.
However, you can often stack a digital manufacturer coupon with a Kroger store coupon (if one is available for the same item), or with a general sale price. Always read the fine print on each coupon to understand its specific rules.
"Weekly Digital Deals" vs. Regular Digital Coupons: Be aware that some "Weekly Digital Deals" are specific store discounts and might have different rules for combining with other offers.
Sub-heading: Troubleshooting Common Issues
Coupon Not Applying?
Did you clip it? Double-check your "My Coupons" section to ensure the coupon was actually loaded to your card.
Is it the exact item? Make sure the brand, size, flavor, and quantity exactly match the coupon's requirements. Sometimes a slight variation can prevent it from applying.
Is it expired? Digital coupons have expiration dates.
Did you use it already? Most digital coupons are single-use.
Connectivity Issue (if in-store clipping): While less common now, if you're clipping coupons while in the store, ensure you have a stable internet connection. It's always best to clip them before you leave home.
Contact Customer Service: If you've checked everything and it's still not working, don't hesitate to ask a customer service associate at Kroger or contact Kroger's online support.
