Kroger's new ad has 19 stackable matchups, a 12-item $0.99 sale, and a $15 instant discount on baby care. Add it up and $98.90 of product comes down to $55.76 after rebates — with one deal that pays you to take it home.
The headliners: Larabar protein bars are a $0.94 moneymaker thanks to a 100% back Fetch offer stacked on Ibotta, Celsius energy drinks land at $0.94 each, and the baby care promotion knocks $15 off instantly at $60 with no coupon required.
Every line was recalculated before publishing. Seventeen of the 19 matchups and Scenario 1 reconcile exactly with the source. The two that need a note are flagged right where they appear.
Watch the full video walkthrough for visuals and bonus tips:
Before You Shop
1. Clip every digital coupon in the Kroger app first. Weekly Digital Deals and digital coupons only come off if they are clipped to your card before you check out.
2. Weekly Digital Deals can be used up to five times in one transaction, and they are Kroger store coupons — which means you can stack a manufacturer coupon and a rebate app on top of the same item.
3. Not every digital coupon is a store coupon. If it is a manufacturer coupon, you cannot combine another coupon with it.
4. Mega Event prices need 5 or more participating items. Mix and match freely — they do not have to be five of the same thing. Buy fewer than five and you pay $1 more per item. Every mega price below is marked with an asterisk as a reminder.
5. The $0.99 sale also needs 5 or more items, mix and match, to get $0.99 each.
6. Baby care instant savings is automatic. Spend $60 before manufacturer coupons and $15 comes off at the register — no coupon to clip.

💵 The Moneymaker
- 🎉 🟠 🔵 Larabar Protein Bars 5 Count (Lemon or Cinnamon Nut), $5.99*
- Submit the $2.50 Ibotta rebate
- Submit the $4.43 Fetch rebate (100% back in points = 5,990 points)

📅 Weekly Digital Deals
Kroger store coupons, so you can stack manufacturer coupons and rebates on top:
- 📅 🔵 Celsius Energy Drinks 12 Ounce, $1.49 with weekly digital deal — buy 2 ($2.98)
- Submit the $1.11 on 2 Fetch rebate (1,500 points when you buy 2)
- Net: $1.87 for 2 — $0.94 each

- 📅 Ore Ida Frozen Potatoes (19-32 Ounce), $2.99 with weekly digital deal
- 📅 Kroger Bottled Water 40 Pack, $3.99 with weekly digital deal
- 📅 Kroger Cheese, Bars or Shreds (32 oz), $4.99 with weekly digital deal
Celsius at $0.94 a can is the standout, and it is the cheapest per-unit buy in the whole ad outside the $0.99 sale. The last four have no coupon or rebate to stack — they are just strong digital deal prices on their own, and each one can be bought up to five times.
🎁 Regular and BOGO Deals
No event required — just sale prices matched with a coupon or rebate:
- 🟠 🔵 Reese's Ice Cream 48 Ounce, $3.99
- Submit the $1.50 Ibotta rebate
- Submit the $0.89 Fetch rebate (1,200 points when you buy 1)
- Net: $1.60
- 🎁 🟠 Ocean's Halo Fried Rice Rolls, $6.49 BOGO
- Submit the $1 Ibotta rebate (x2 = $2.00)
- Net: $4.49 for 2 — $2.25 each
- 🎁 🟠 Gorton's Fish Taco Tenders, $9.99 BOGO
- Submit the $1.50 Ibotta rebate (x2 = $3.00)
- Net: $6.99 for 2 — $3.50 each
Reese's ice cream going from $3.99 to $1.60 is the best percentage drop here. The two BOGOs are where the real dollar savings hide — Gorton's is $19.98 of product for $6.99 because you get the second box free and Ibotta pays out on both.
🎉 Mega Event Deals
Buy 5 or more participating items to get these prices. Mix and match — they do not have to be five of the same item. Fewer than five and you pay $1 more each.
- 🎉 📄 Pringles Crisps (4.6-5.7 Ounce), $1.49 — buy 2* ($2.98)
- Use the $0.75 off 2 printable coupon (Kellanova coupons)
- Net: $2.23 for 2 — $1.12 each

- Net: $1.49
- 🎉 🏷️ Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks (select varieties), $1.99 — buy 2* ($3.98)

- Net: $3.48 for 2 — $1.74 each
- 🎉 🟠 Kraft Salad Dressing 14-16 Ounce, $2.49*
- Submit the $0.50 Ibotta rebate
- Net: $1.99
Buying two Pringles and two of either bar deal already gets you to four items, so one more of anything on the mega list unlocks the whole section. The Barilla pasta at $1.42 for protein pasta and Klondike bars at $1.49 for a 6-count are the best values after Larabar.
💸 Baby Care: Spend $60, Get $15 Off Instantly
Kroger is running an instant savings promotion on baby care. Buy $60 of participating items before manufacturer coupons and $15 comes off at the register automatically — no coupon required. It stacks with digital coupons and rebate apps on top.
Scenario 1 — Diapers and Wipes, $39.77
- 🟠 Buy (1) Pampers Baby Dry Box Diapers, $28.49 — submit the $3 Ibotta rebate
- 🏷️ Buy (1) Millie Moon Box Diapers, $29.99 — use the $3 digital coupon
- Buy (1) Comfort Baby Wipes 72 Count, $2.29 > TOTAL: $60.77 > (LESS): $15 instant savings when you buy $60 > (LESS): $3 Millie Moon digital coupon > (LESS): $3 Ibotta rebate > FINAL PRICE: $39.77 for all
Two boxes of diapers and a pack of wipes for $39.77 is 34.6% off, and it clears the $60 threshold with $0.77 to spare. Because the instant savings is measured before manufacturer coupons, the $3 Ibotta rebate does not put you at risk of dropping under $60.
Scenario 2 — Two Boxes of Huggies, $39.88
- 🟠 Buy (2) Huggies Little Snugglers Diapers Size 1 Boxes, $29.99 each ($59.98) — submit the $3 Ibotta rebate (x2 = $6.00)
- Buy (1) Comfort Baby Food Pouch, $0.90 > TOTAL: $60.88 > (LESS): $15 instant savings when you buy $60 > (LESS): $6 Ibotta rebates > FINAL PRICE: $39.88 for all
Two boxes of Huggies for effectively $19.94 each, plus a food pouch, at 34.5% off. The cushion over $60 here is $0.88.
💲 The $0.99 Sale — 12 Items
Buy any 5 or more of the items in this sale and they are $0.99 each, mix and match. These are the best ones included:
- 🌭 Heinz Yellow Mustard 14 Oz
- 🍖 Kraft BBQ Sauce 18 Oz
- 🍝 Hunt's Pasta Sauce 24 Oz
- 🫒 Early California Sliced Olives 2.25 Oz
- 🎂 Pillsbury Frosting or Cake Mix
- 🍮 Jell-O Pudding or Gelatin Mix
- 💪 Kind Protein MAX Bar
- 🥣 Campbell's Condensed Sauces 10.5 Oz
- 🍳 Chef Boyardee Skillet Meals
- 🥫 Manwich Sauce
- 🧈 Blue Bonnet Stick Margarine
- 🥦 Bird's Eye Steamfresh Vegetables (select varieties)
Five items comes to $4.95 and all twelve comes to $11.88. The Kind Protein MAX Bar is the biggest single markdown on the list — those normally run well over $2 on their own.
This sale is also the easiest way to unlock the Mega Event. If you are short of the 5-item mega requirement, keep in mind the $0.99 sale is counted separately, so build both baskets in the same trip and check your app to confirm which items count toward which promotion.

| TOTAL — 19 DEALS | 30 | $82.42 | $26.66 | $55.76 | $1.86 avg |
That is 30 units for $55.76, or $1.86 per item on average. Counting the two BOGOs at full shelf value, $98.90 of product comes home for $55.76 — 43.6% off. And that figure is conservative: the mega and weekly digital prices above are already marked down from regular retail, so your actual savings off the shelf tag will be higher.
Where the $26.66 Comes From
| Source | Amount | Share | Offers |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🟠 Ibotta | $12.50 | 46.9% | 8 |
| 🔵 Fetch Rewards | $7.91 | 29.7% | 4 |
| 📥 Inbox Dollars | $3.00 | 11.3% | 1 |
| 📄 Printable Coupons | $1.75 | 6.6% | 2 |
| 🏷️ Digital Coupons | $1.00 | 3.8% | 2 |
| 📝 Mfr Digital Coupon | $0.50 | 1.9% | 1 |
| TOTAL | $26.66 | 100% | 18 |
Ibotta and Fetch do more than three quarters of the work this week, so those two matter most. That total also excludes the $15 baby care instant savings and $9 of baby coupons and rebates — add the baby scenarios in and you are saving well over $50.
Rebate Apps You'll Need
- Ibotta — 8 offers worth $12.50 in the main list, plus $9 across the two baby scenarios. Add every offer before you check out, then scan your receipt.
- Fetch Rewards — 4 offers worth $7.91 in points, including the 100% back Larabar offer that drives the moneymaker. Values assume redemption toward a $5 Kroger gift card.
- Inbox Dollars — 1 offer worth $3.00 on the Barilla pesto sauce.
New to Kroger Deal Stacking?
1. Clip digital coupons before you shop. Nothing comes off at the register unless it is already on your card.
2. Know your coupon types. Weekly Digital Deals are store coupons, so a manufacturer coupon and a rebate app can all stack on the same item. A manufacturer digital coupon cannot be combined with another coupon.
3. Count your mega items. Five or more participating items unlocks every price marked with an asterisk. Miss it and each item costs $1 more.
4. Print your printables the night before. The Kellogg's and Pringles deals both need paper coupons you print at home.
5. Buy the exact quantity the offer requires. Several of these are "on 2" or "buy $6+" offers that pay nothing if you buy one.
6. Keep one receipt for multiple apps. The same receipt can go to Ibotta, Fetch, and Inbox Dollars — they do not conflict.
7. Redeem Fetch points toward a $5 Kroger gift card. That is the rate every Fetch figure here uses.
Tips for This Week
- Grab the Larabar first. It is the only moneymaker in the ad and it leaves you $0.94 ahead.
- Celsius at $0.94 a can is the best everyday buy — and the weekly digital deal works up to five times, so you can get 10 cans at that price.
- Watch the $60 baby threshold closely. Scenario 1 clears it by $0.77 and Scenario 2 by $0.88, so make sure the prices at your store match the ones listed here to be sure you reach $60.
- The Gorton's BOGO is the biggest dollar swing — $19.98 of product for $6.99 once both Ibotta rebates pay out.
- Reese's ice cream at $1.60 is the best percentage drop outside the moneymaker.
- Mega prices are only good with 5+ items, so do not assume the shelf tag is what you will pay if your basket is small.
- All figures are pre-tax, and rebates arrive after you shop, so plan for the register total up front.
