How Kroger Weekly Digital Deals, Mega Events, and Instant Savings Work

Kroger has three special promo formats running this week. Here is the quick rundown:

Weekly Digital Deal Coupons- Special clip-to-card coupons that unlock a sale price. These are Kroger store coupons, so you can stack a manufacturer coupon on top for double savings. Each coupon can be used up to five times in one transaction.
Mega Event- Buy 5 or more participating items (mix and match) to unlock the discounted price. If you only buy 1-4, you pay $1 more per item.
Household Instant Savings- Buy 2 qualifying products and $10 comes off automatically at the register. No coupon clip needed. > Heads up: Not every digital coupon at Kroger is a store coupon. If a digital coupon is a manufacturer coupon, you cannot stack a paper manufacturer coupon on top of it. Read the fine print before you head in.

New to Couponing?

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

Download the Kroger app and clip every digital coupon listed above. Digital coupons must be clipped to your loyalty card before checkout, or they will not apply.
Hit 5 items for the Mega Event before you check out. If you only buy 1-4 Mega items, you pay $1 more each. The savings vanish fast.
Verify which digital coupons are store coupons. Store coupons stack with manufacturer coupons. Manufacturer digital coupons do not.
Print the Kellogg's and Pringles coupons before you go. The Mega Event prices on cereal and chips depend on those manufacturer printables.
Stack rebate apps after you check out. Snap your receipt for Ibotta, Fetch, BeFrugal, Swagbucks, and Aisle on the way out the door so nothing slips your mind.
Save Fetch points for $5 Kroger gift cards. That is the conversion that makes Fetch points worth around $0.74 per 1,000 in this breakdown's math.

Tips for This Week's Kroger Run

Front-load the Mega Event basket. Activa Yogurt, Dove, and a couple of cereal boxes will get you to 5 items fast and lock in the lowest prices.
Werther's is the easiest 2-for-free of the week. Two bags at $2.00 each, $4 Swagbucks rebate, done.
The Pure Leaf Tea offer runs through Zenivize. It is an OTC-style offer where you submit through their portal -- not a normal in-app rebate. Read the offer terms before submitting.
The Kleenex Instant Savings is the volume play. Twelve boxes for $11.98 is hard to beat for a household stockpile.
Arm and Hammer needs the bundle to trigger. You must buy one Liquid Detergent and one Power PACs together to unlock the $10 instant savings -- two of one product will not work.
Skip the Lundberg deal if your store has wildly different pricing. The Aisle rebate is "FREE" up to a cap, so a high shelf price could mean you owe a small balance.
