Our Kroger Review

Description

The Kroger app transforms your grocery shopping experience by bringing the entire supermarket to your fingertips. This handy tool lets you browse weekly ads, clip digital coupons and create shopping lists that sync across devices. Kroger's app connects to your loyalty account so you can track fuel points and personalized deals while shopping from home or in-store. You can order groceries for pickup or delivery directly through the app, saving precious time during busy weeks. The interface is clean and user-friendly, making it easy to find exactly what you need from Kroger's extensive inventory.

Key Features

  • Digital Coupons and Personalized Deals: Browse and clip hundreds of digital coupons that automatically apply at checkout. The app learns your shopping habits and suggests deals tailored specifically to products you frequently purchase.
  • Grocery Pickup and Delivery: Schedule convenient pickup times or home delivery directly through the app. You can add or modify your order until midnight before your scheduled pickup day.
  • Integrated Shopping Lists: Create and manage shopping lists that automatically organize items by aisle for efficient in-store shopping. The app remembers your frequently purchased items and suggests them for quick addition to your current list.
  • Prescription Management: Refill prescriptions with a few taps and receive notifications when they're ready for pickup. You can manage multiple family members' prescriptions and view medication history all in one place.

Tips for Using Kroger

  1. Enable notifications to receive alerts about expiring digital coupons and personalized deals based on your shopping history. This simple step can save you significant money as the app will remind you about deals you might otherwise miss.
  2. Use the barcode scanner while shopping in-store to quickly check prices and add items to your cart for future online orders. This feature is especially helpful when you find a product you like but want to research alternatives or check for coupons.
  3. Take advantage of the 'Low Stock' alerts for frequently purchased items to avoid running out of essentials. The app tracks your purchase patterns and can remind you when it's likely time to restock your favorite products.
  4. Check the 'Free Friday Download' offer each week for a completely free product you can add to your next order. This weekly promotion is easy to miss but offers genuine freebies with no purchase necessary beyond your regular shopping.

How to Download and Use Kroger

  1. Download the app by clicking on the Google Play Store button if using Android, or use the Apple Store button for iOS. The app is free to download and only requires a Kroger account to access all features.
  2. Open the app and sign in with your existing Kroger account or create a new one by entering your email, phone number and creating a password. Link your Kroger Plus loyalty card during setup to ensure you receive all available discounts and start accumulating fuel points with every purchase.
  3. Start by exploring the weekly ad section and clipping digital coupons that interest you, then create your first shopping list or place an order for pickup or delivery. The app will guide you through selecting your preferred store location and available time slots for pickup or delivery options.

Final Thoughts

After using the Kroger app regularly for several months, I've found it to be one of the more polished grocery shopping apps available. The digital coupon system actually works as advertised and has saved me real money without the hassle of paper coupons. While the app occasionally has loading delays during peak shopping times, the convenience of ordering groceries for pickup has been a game-changer for my weekly routine. The prescription management feature is surprisingly useful and well-integrated with the rest of the shopping experience. For Kroger shoppers, this app isn't just a nice-to-have but practically essential for maximizing savings and streamlining the grocery shopping process.
