How to Shop : at Kroger

I got into couponing around the same time that kroger decided to stop doubling and tripling Coupons in the Houston market. This was pretty dissapoinging for me but I have managed to find some great deals by pairing great sales with coupons. Below are a few things that you must do to shop at Kroger.

Weekly Ad

 Look at your weekly ad and plan your trip. I get my Kroger at in the mail on Wednesday. My sales date are Weds - Tues. I look for the items on Sale and match them with Coupons to get an even bigger discount.

Kroger Plus Card

When making purchases at Kroger it is important to get a Kroger Plus Card. You can do so by stopping by customer service, getting one from the cashier and visiting HERE. Fill out the information required. Your address will allow them to mail you coupons. Your phone number will allow you to access your Plus Card when your card is not present.

Loadable Coupons

There are Coupons that you can load directly to your Kroger Plus Card from Kroger Website and Cellfire. You will have to register your Kroger Plus Card membership number. These Digital Coupons will replace paper ones. Please remember that you can not stack these coupons, meaning that you can not use a Digital Coupon and a Paper Coupon on any item. Since they are both Manufacture Coupons. 

Houston Market

Houston does NOT double or triple coupons anymore.

They will take coupons at face value.

Make sure to contact your local Kroger to find out if they have a limit on like coupons.

Other Markets

 Outside of the Houston Market, Kroger continues to double and triple coupons. They Double coupons ($0.40 - $0.50) and Triple Coupons (up to $0.39).

Please Check with you local Kroger to be sure of their policy, since it does seem to vary in some Markets.

 Sales

There are different Sales that Kroger has, the following are some of the best to pair with coupons!

Buy 10, Save $ X :  This sale requires you to purchase 10 items to save $ X, usually is either $10 or $5. With these sale you MUST  have 10 items or it will not work. If you have 1 more or less it will not work and not give you the discount.

10 / $10 Sale:  These sales do NOT require you to purchase 10 items. You can purchase as many items and they will be sales price of $1.

* Make sure that you pay attention to the ad.

Some of the best deals I have made have been at Kroger, they don't happen very often but I have shopped there and only spend a few dollars on a cart full of groceries. The best transaction I've made was a savings of 101% , it was also my first Coupon transaction ever!
