Weekly Digital Deals

Weekly Digital Deals are special coupons in the Kroger app that give you a sale price when you clip them. These can be used up to five times in one transaction. They are Kroger store coupons, meaning you can combine them with manufacturer coupons and rebates for even bigger savings.

NOTE: Not all digital coupons are store coupons. If a coupon is a manufacturer coupon, you cannot combine another manufacturer coupon with it.

Buy (1) Crest 3D White Deep Stain Toothpaste 2.1 Oz at $5.99 w/ weekly digital
- 🟢 Use the $5 digital manufacturer coupon
- Net Price: $0.99

Quick ninety-nine cent toothpaste. The weekly digital brings the shelf price to $5.99, then the $5 manufacturer coupon takes it down to under a dollar.

Personal Care Instant Savings (Spend $15, Save $5)

With instant savings deals, your total needs to hit $15 BEFORE coupons apply. You can use manufacturer coupons to lower the final price even further. You can also "double up" -- spend $30 and get $10 off instantly.

Scenario 1

Buy (1) Schick Xtreme Disposable Razors at $6.49
- 🟢 Use the $3 digital coupon
Buy (1) Crest 3D White Brilliance Toothpaste 3.8 Oz at $8.99
- 🟢 Use the $5 digital coupon

Math: $15.48 - $5 instant savings - $8 digital coupons = $2.48 for both ($1.24 each)

NOTE: The Crest Brilliance toothpaste uses the same $5 digital coupon as the Weekly Digital Deal above. If you already used it on the 2.1 Oz Crest, you cannot use it again here. Pick whichever deal works better for you.

Scenario 2

Buy (1) Dove Women's Body Wash 20 Oz at $8.49
- 🔵 Submit $1.11 Fetch rebate (1,500 pts)
Buy (2) Dove Men's Body Wash 18 Oz at $8.79 each
- 🟢 Use the $6 off 3 digital coupon (applies to all 3 Dove products)
- 🔵 Submit $2.22 Fetch rebate (3,000 pts)
Buy (1) Colgate Total Toothpaste 3.3 Oz at $3.99
- 🟢 Use the $2 digital coupon

Math: $30.06 - $10 instant savings - $8 digital coupons - $3.20 Fetch = $8.86 for all 4 items ($2.22 each)

Spending $30.06 qualifies you for the double instant savings, knocking $10 off at the register. The $6 off 3 Dove coupon is massive, and Fetch gives you another $3.20 back after scanning your receipt.

BOGO Deals

Buy one, get one free sales work differently depending on your Kroger store. At some stores, you buy one at full price and the second rings up free. At others, you only have to buy ONE and it rings up at 50% off. Check the Kroger app -- if it says "Buy One, Get One Free," you need two. If it just shows a half-off price, you only need one. This matters because you cannot use a coupon on an item that rings up as free.

Buy (2) Dave's Killer Snack Bites 7.2 Oz at $6.99 BOGO
- 🟠 Submit $3 Ibotta rebate on each (x2 = $6 back)
- Net Price: $0.99 for both ($0.50 each)
Buy (2) Dave's Killer Bars 4 Ct at $5.49 BOGO
- 🟠 Submit $1.50 Ibotta rebate on each (x2 = $3 back)
- Net Price: $2.49 for both ($1.25 each)

Dave's Killer Bread products are already solid at BOGO, but stacking Ibotta on top makes them ridiculous. The Snack Bites come out to fifty cents each.

Regular Deals

Buy (2) Werther's Caramels 5.5 Oz Bags at $2.00 each
- 🟡 Submit $4/2 Swagbucks rebate
- Net Price: 2 FOR FREE
Buy (1) Karma Nuts 1.5 Oz at $5.49

- Net Price: FREE
- NOTE: These are found at the Kroger fuel center, not inside the store itself.
Buy (1) Air Wick Advanced Scented Oil Warmer at $3.99
- 🟢 Use the $3 digital coupon
- 🟠 Submit $1.25 Ibotta rebate
- Net Price: FREE + $0.26 MONEYMAKER
Buy (2) Ocean Spray Zero Sugar Strawberry Mango 64 Oz at $3.00 each
- 🟡 Submit $5.50/2 Swagbucks rebate (550 Swagbucks)
- Net Price: $0.50 for both ($0.25 each)
- NOTE: This rebate reset from last week, so you can grab it again if you already did it.

Two freebies and a moneymaker in one section. The Werther's are completely free through Swagbucks, and the Air Wick warmer actually pays you twenty-six cents to take it home. The Karma Nuts are a manufacturer rebate you claim through the link -- just note they are at the fuel center, not inside the store.

Mega Event Deals

New York Bakery Croutons 5 Oz -- $1.29
Sunmaid Raisins 6 Oz -- $1.49
Craisins 5-6 Oz Bags -- $1.69

New to Couponing?

If this is your first time stacking deals at Kroger, here is your quick starter guide:

Download the Kroger app and create an account. All digital coupons are clipped through the app or website. Link your Kroger Plus card so coupons apply automatically at checkout.
Clip all relevant digital coupons before you shop. Go through each deal section and clip every coupon you plan to use. Digital coupons are one-time use unless noted otherwise.
Check whether your store does true BOGO or 50% off. This determines how many items you need to buy and whether coupons work on the free item.
Download Ibotta, Fetch, and Swagbucks. Activate offers before you shop, then scan your receipt after checkout.
For the mega event, buy 5 or more participating items. Mix and match any mega items to hit the count. Buying fewer than 5 means paying $1 more per item.

Tips for This Week's Kroger Run

The Air Wick warmer is a moneymaker. The $3 digital coupon plus $1.25 Ibotta puts you twenty-six cents in the green on a $3.99 item.
Werther's Caramels are completely free through Swagbucks. Buy two bags for $4 total, submit the $4/2 Swagbucks rebate, and pay nothing.
The Karma Nuts are at the fuel center. Do not look for them inside the store. Swing by the fuel center and claim your freebie there.
Watch out for the Crest coupon overlap. The $5 digital coupon works on both the Weekly Digital Crest and the Instant Savings Crest. You can only use it once, so pick the deal that fits your shopping list better.
Ocean Spray Swagbucks rebate reset. If you grabbed this deal last week, it is available again. Another round of twenty-five cent juice.
Stack the mega event carefully. You need 5 items minimum. Mix in the no-coupon items (croutons, raisins, Craisins) to hit the count without overbuying.
