Kroger Deals 9/30: 29 Deals, 4 Freebies
29 Deals29 Kroger deals across Weekly Digital, BOGO, 5X, and regular offers. Includes four freebies, a $0.20 Harvest Snaps moneymaker, $0.79 cake mix, and a clear true-BOGO vs. half-price store guide.
Kroger's 9/30 breakdown has 29 deals, including four freebies, a $0.20 Harvest Snaps moneymaker, $0.79 cake mix, and five General Mills cereal boxes for $5.98. The list covers Weekly Digital Deals, BOGO sales, the 5X Digital Event, and regular coupon-and-rebate offers.
Start by checking how your store handles BOGO, then clip the coupons for the deals you want. This blog follows the supplied Kroger 9/30 breakdown; video credit and more couponing tips go to OhioValleyCouponer on YouTube.
Before You Shop
- Clip the store coupons: Weekly Digital Deals and the listed 5X offers require their matching coupons. The source allows up to five uses in one transaction; check the actual coupon for eligible varieties, shared limits, and dates.
- Separate store and manufacturer coupons: Not every digital coupon is a store coupon. The listed stacks combine a store offer with a manufacturer coupon where specified, not two manufacturer coupons on the same item.
- Check your rebate accounts first: Social Nature freebies and other rebates must be available to you. Confirm the exact product, retailer, limits, stacking terms, and submission deadline before buying.
- Keep checkout and net cost separate: Most freebies require paying first and receiving reimbursement later. All figures here exclude tax and fees.
- Use the exact sizes and flavors: Harvest Snaps is limited to Sea Salt and Vinegar or Garlic Butter; the other offers also have specific product requirements.
- Check expiration dates in the apps: The source does not provide a single end date for the entire list. Do not assume every coupon and rebate stays available for the same length of time.
True BOGO vs. Half-Price Stores
Kroger stores handle buy-one-get-one-free sales in two ways, and the difference changes how many items you need. Select your actual store in the Kroger app before checking the price.
- True BOGO: Buy one at full price and the second rings up at zero. You must buy two to receive the promotion.
- Half-price store: Each item rings up at 50% off, so one item can qualify for the sale price.
- How to tell: If the app says “Buy One, Get One Free,” plan on buying two. If it simply shows the item at half price, you can buy one.
- Why it matters for coupons: You cannot apply a coupon to an item that rings up free. At a half-price store, a coupon on one item may produce a better result without needing a full-price/free pair.
Both store types can have great deals. For the pair calculations below, the comparison basket uses true-BOGO pricing; half-price store totals can differ by a penny due to rounding, and an on-two rebate still requires two items.
Buy 2, get 1 free and buy 2, get 3 free are different promotions. Those require the full advertised quantity at either store type. The General Mills deal needs five boxes, not one half-price box.
Quick App Legend
- Weekly Digital Deal: Clip the store coupon for the advertised price.
- 5X Digital Event: A store coupon with up to five uses in one transaction under the stated terms.
- Manufacturer coupon: A separate digital, printable, or physical tearpad coupon.
- Ibotta: Activate matching offers before shopping, then submit your receipt.
- Fetch: Points valued toward a Kroger gift card, not cash automatically returned at checkout.
- Aisle: Enroll in the specific product offer, not just the general signup.
- Social Nature: Check your own account for the listed free-product offers.
Freebies and the Moneymaker
These five offers include four products with a zero net cost and one with a $0.20 moneymaker. Each result assumes approval of the listed rebate or reimbursement.
Like Air Puffcorn, 4 oz
- Buy one bag at $1.50 and use the $1 5X digital store coupon. Pay $0.50 before tax.
- Claim the paid purchase amount through the Like Air free-bag offer. This calculation counts $0.50 back, not the pre-coupon price.
- The reimbursement is limited to one bag per household, including previous claims at another retailer, flavor, or size. Submit your own receipt within 14 days; shipping orders are excluded, while eligible store/curbside pickup and Scan & Go purchases are allowed. The offer excludes tax and fees (Like Air terms).
Net: FREE before tax after reimbursement.
Skypop Soda, 12 oz
- Buy one for $2.50.

Want More Than One Like Air Bag?
The 5X coupon can bring up to five qualifying $1.50 bags to $0.50 each in one transaction. The free-bag reimbursement is still limited to one bag per household, not five.
For five bags, pay $2.50 before tax after the five $1 coupons. With one approved $0.50 reimbursement, the net is $2.00 for all five, or $0.40 each on average; the four additional bags cost $0.50 each. The comparison basket below includes only one bag, so this optional stock-up is not counted as another deal.
Weekly Digital Deals
Clip the matching Weekly Digital coupon for each product. The yogurt and water need no extra coupon or rebate, but they still require the Weekly Digital coupon for the listed price.
Kellogg's Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, Apple Jacks, or Corn Pops

Net: $5.98 for 5, or approximately $1.20 each.
BOGO Deals With No Additional Coupon or Rebate
The amounts below are for two purchased packages at a true-BOGO store. At a half-price store, you can buy one instead; check the app's actual price rather than treating the rounded average as a guaranteed single-item price.
| Product | Pair Total | Average Per Package |
|---|---|---|
| Kroger Peanut Butter, 16 oz | $2.29 for 2 | About $1.15 |
| Kroger Milk, half gallon | $1.99 for 2 | About $1.00 |
| On The Border Tortilla Chips, 8–11.5 oz | $3.99 for 2 | About $2.00 |
| Sabra Hummus, 8 oz | $3.99 for 2 | About $2.00 |
| Wholly Guacamole, 7.5 oz | $3.99 for 2 | About $2.00 |

| Energizer AA or AAA Batteries, 8-pack | $9.99 for 2 | About $5.00 |
| Perdue Frozen Chicken, select varieties | $10.99 for 2 | About $5.50 |
Pompeian pricing depends on the variety you choose. The basket comparison uses the $8.49 pair; choosing a $9.99 pair adds $1.50 to checkout and net cost without changing the number of deals.
5X Digital Event Deals
These three deals use the listed 5X store coupons. Like Air also uses a 5X coupon, but appears only in the freebie section so it is not counted twice.
Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks, 6–10 count

- Submit the $0.50 Ibotta rebate.

- Submit the $3 Ibotta rebate. This is separate from the Stuffed Crust BOGO deal.
Net: $1.99.
Friskies comes to $1.99 for two after its $1.99 coupon. Its roughly $1.00 per-bag price is rounded from $0.995; it is not a $1.99 price for each bag after the coupon.
Full Deal Comparison

This is a comparison basket, not a requirement to buy everything or a guarantee that all account-specific offers are available together. The Like Air five-bag option is an alternative to the single-bag line, not an extra freebie added on top.
Where the Additional Savings Come From
This table counts only the coupons and rewards applied after the listed sale prices. Weekly Digital and BOGO markdowns are not counted again because original shelf prices were not supplied consistently.
| Source | Amount |
|---|---|
| Ibotta | $15.34 |
| Social Nature | $11.28 |
| Store 5X | $4.50 |
| Manufacturer digital | $2.50 |
| Aisle | $2.50 |
| Tearpad | $1.99 |
| Printable | $1.00 |
| Fetch | $0.56 |
| Like Air refund | $0.50 |
| TOTAL | $40.17 |
Fetch contributes $0.56 in estimated value: $0.30 for 400 points on Betty Crocker fruit snacks and $0.26 for 350 points on Cesar. Those are the source's approximate values toward a $5 Kroger gift card; the actual value depends on the reward and redemption tier in your account.
Tips for This Week
- Freebie check first: Confirm the Ghost and Happy offers in Social Nature before buying. Enroll in the specific Skypop offer and read the instructions you receive.
- One Like Air refund per household: A previous claim at another retailer or on a different flavor or size makes this free-bag offer unavailable.
- Two soup offers, different rebate wording: Chunky is $1 on two; Protein is $0.50 per can. Both pair calculations subtract $1 total.
- Five General Mills boxes are required: Buy-2-get-3-free does not change at half-price stores.
- Palmolive's manufacturer coupon is not 5X: The $1 manufacturer discount is one-time-use, even though the separate $1.50 store coupon can apply up to five times.
- Separate the Red Baron products: Stuffed Crust uses a BOGO sale and $1.25-per-pizza rebates. Crunchtime is $4.99 with a $3 rebate.
- Save every receipt: Submit within each offer's deadline and wait for approval before treating a reimbursement as money received.
