Hello there! Ready to start saving money on your groceries? Kroger digital coupons are a fantastic way to do that, and the process is surprisingly simple once you get the hang of it. Think of it as a virtual coupon book that you carry with you on your phone or computer. Let's walk through the process together, step by step, so you can start seeing those savings pile up on your next shopping trip.
Step 1: Create a Digital Account and Get a Shopper's Card
Before you can clip a single digital coupon, you need a Kroger digital account and a Shopper's Card. This is the key that unlocks all the savings.
-
Create Your Account: Head to the Kroger website or, even better, download the Kroger mobile app. The app is incredibly user-friendly and makes the whole process much smoother. You'll be prompted to create an account by providing your email, a password, and your Shopper's Card number.
-
Don't Have a Shopper's Card? No Problem! If you're a new Kroger customer, you can easily create a virtual Shopper's Card or an Alternate ID (Alt ID) during the account creation process. This virtual card is tied directly to your account and works just like a physical card. It's a crucial step, so don't skip it!

Step 2: Finding and "Clipping" Your Coupons
Now for the fun part: finding all the deals! There are a few different ways to browse and clip coupons.
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
Sub-heading: Using the Kroger App
-
Navigate to the "Savings" Section: Once you're logged into the app, look for the "Savings" tab, usually located at the bottom of the screen.
-
Explore the Digital Coupons: Here you'll find a variety of digital coupons. You can browse through different categories, like "Weekly Digital Deals," "5X Event," or "Pickup & Delivery Only" offers. You can also use the search bar to look for specific products you need.
-
Clip with a Tap: When you find a coupon you want, simply tap the "Clip" button. The coupon is now loaded onto your virtual Shopper's Card. It's that easy! You'll know it's clipped because the button will change to say "Clipped."
Sub-heading: Using the Kroger Website
-
Go to the "Digital Coupons" Page: On the Kroger website, log in to your account and navigate to the "Savings" section, then click on "Digital Coupons."
-
Browse and Click: Just like the app, you can browse through a wide array of coupons. When you see a deal you like, click the "Clip" button. Your coupon will be instantly linked to your Shopper's Card.
Step 3: Understanding Different Coupon Types
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.
Not all digital coupons are created equal. It's important to understand the different types to maximize your savings.
-
Standard Digital Coupons: Most coupons are a one-time use per household. They will automatically apply to your purchase of the qualifying item.
-
Weekly Digital Deals: These are special offers that often refresh every Wednesday. They are typically one-time use but can sometimes have a purchase limit, such as "Use up to 5 times in a single transaction." Pay close attention to the details on these coupons.
-
"5X Event" Coupons: This is a fan favorite! These coupons allow you to get the discounted price on up to five of the qualifying items in a single transaction. It's a great way to stock up on your favorites. Remember: You must buy all five items at once to get the discount on all of them.
-
Pickup & Delivery Only Coupons: These coupons are only valid for online orders placed for pickup or delivery. They will not work for in-store purchases.
Step 4: Redeeming Your Digital Coupons In-Store
This is where all your "clipping" pays off!
-
Shop for the Right Items: Make sure the items you put in your cart perfectly match the coupon's description. Check the brand, size, quantity, and even flavor or color if specified.
-
Go to the Checkout: When you're ready to check out, you'll need to present your Shopper's Card.
-
Scan Your Card: You can either swipe your physical Shopper's Card, enter your Alt ID (your phone number) on the keypad, or use the Kroger Pay feature in the app, which generates a QR code to scan.
-
Watch the Savings Apply! The system will automatically scan your purchase for any qualifying items and apply all the clipped digital coupons. You'll see the discounts appear on your screen and on your receipt, often marked with "ecpn" next to the item. No need to show the coupons on your phone to the cashier!
Step 5: Verifying Your Savings
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
-
Check Your Receipt: After your transaction is complete, always take a moment to review your receipt. The digital coupon savings will be listed under the items they applied to. This is your chance to make sure everything went through correctly.
-
What if a Coupon Didn't Apply? If you notice a coupon didn't come off, politely let the cashier know before you leave the checkout. They can usually manually adjust the price. If you get home and notice a mistake, you can contact Kroger's customer service for assistance.
