Best Weekly Digital Deals

What's a Weekly Digital Deal? Weekly Digital Deals are special coupons offered in the Kroger app or website that give you a special sale price when clipping the coupon, and can be used up to five times in one transaction. These are Kroger store coupons, meaning you can combine these deals with manufacturer coupons and rebates for even more savings!
NOTE: Not all digital coupons are store coupons. This is important because if it is a manufacturer coupon, you cannot combine another coupon with it.

🎁 BOGO Matchups

How BOGO Works at Kroger: Buy One Get One Free sales happen one of two ways at different Kroger stores. At some stores, it means exactly what it says — buy one at full price, the second rings up at zero. At other stores, you only have to buy ONE and it just rings up 50% off. The way you can tell is if you look up the item in the Kroger app. If it says "Buy One, Get One Free", you have to get (2); however, if it just shows the price half off, you only have to buy (1).
This makes a difference because you can't use a coupon on an item that rings up for free. If you have a coupon off just 1 item, you'll do even better than if you have to buy 1 full price to get a second one free. BOTH ways though, you can get insane deals.
Keep in mind if it is a deal like "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" or "Buy 2 Get 3 Free", all stores will follow those sales the same — you actually have to buy 2 to get 1 free. The difference is only on Buy (1), Get (1) free deals.

Rebate Apps You Need This Week

Ibotta — The workhorse this week. Powers Kraft Mac, Chomps FREE, Lipton Fusions $0.07, Kotex, plus every 5X Event rebate (Yoplait, Peebles, Simple Mills, Kool Aid, Wonder, Stur, Annie's, Treetop, Betty Crocker Cake).
Fetch — Powers the $2.22 Moneymaker leg on Kraft Mac. 3,000 points = $2.22 toward a $5 Kroger gift card.
BeFrugal — This week's secret weapon. Powers the Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Moneymaker and the Colgate Maxfresh $3.47 Moneymaker.
Kroger app — This is where ALL weekly digital deals, 5X coupons, and digital manufacturer coupons live. Download it and clip everything before you shop.

New to Kroger Couponing?

If this is your first Kroger run, here is the playbook:

Download the Kroger app and create a shopper account. All weekly digital deals, 5X coupons, and digital coupons live there. Clip everything before you shop.
Understand store coupons vs. manufacturer coupons. Weekly digital deals are Kroger STORE coupons — they can be stacked with manufacturer coupons and rebate apps. Digital manufacturer coupons CANNOT be stacked with another manufacturer coupon.
Print the Kellanova coupons before you go. Rice Krispies Treats and Nutrigrain Bars both need PRINTED manufacturer coupons — print at kellanovaus.com/us/en/coupons.html.
Know your store's BOGO style. Look up the BOGO item in the Kroger app. If it says "Buy One, Get One Free", you must buy 2. If it just shows the price at 50% off, you only need to buy 1. This changes your coupon math — plan before you shop.
Check the 5X Event before you clip. These special coupons work up to 5X per transaction. If you're stockpiling, plan to hit the 5X max in one trip.
BeFrugal is a points app — you earn points on qualifying receipts and cash them out for gift cards. This week it's carrying two Moneymakers (Arm & Hammer + Colgate).
Snap the receipt to Ibotta, Fetch, and BeFrugal the same day. All three have submission windows.

Tips for This Week's Run

Kraft Mac and Cheese is a $2.22 Moneymaker. Buy 3, submit Ibotta on all 3 (limit 3), submit Fetch on 2. You come out $2.22 AHEAD before you even leave the parking lot.
Arm & Hammer Baking Soda is a stealth Moneymaker. $1.49 per box × 3 = $4.47 out of pocket, then 4,656 BeFrugal points = $4.66. Comes out to $0.19 in your pocket.
Chomps Meat Sticks are FREE. $3.29 shelf, $3.29 Ibotta rebate.
Lipton Fusions Peach Passion at $0.07 is a summer restock deal. Fully rebated to pennies via Ibotta.
Colgate Maxfresh is a $3.47 Moneymaker in the 5X Event. Buy 4, use the $1 5X Digital Store Coupon x4, then submit the BeFrugal rebate. Do NOT clip the $2 manufacturer digital coupon — BeFrugal Rewards can't be combined with other manufacturer offers.
Yoplait at $0.43 each is the yogurt drawer refill. Buy 10, clip the $3-off-10 store coupon, submit Ibotta on 5. $4.25 out the door.
Betty Crocker Cake Mixes at $0.99 each are the best baking-aisle deal of the week. Perfect pantry stock.
The 5X Event is a stockpile week. Peebles cereals at $1.49, Stur at $1.49, Annie's Mac at $1.74 each, and Simple Mills at $1.99 are all rock-bottom prices for the year.
Rice Krispies Treats and Nutrigrain BOGOs need printed coupons. Print early. Some Kroger stores will not accept phone-displayed printables.
