If you want to save money on groceries, you should be shopping at Kroger! Not only are the prices lower than what you’d find at Whole Foods or Publix, but they have a wide selection, including store-brand organic and non-GMO foods! If you know a couple of handy Kroger saving tips, you can save even more on your grocery budget! Take a look at these 5 Ways to Save Money at Kroger.

5 Ways to Save Money at Kroger

1. Don’t Buy 10 for $10

If you want to save money at Kroger, you need to know a bit about their signage. Just because a sign says buy X for $Y, doesn’t mean you actually have to buy X number to get the sale price. The sale price actually applies to each of the individual items. So if a sign says buy 10 for $10, but you know that 10 of the item would be a waste, you can just buy 3 and get them for $3 instead! Make sure to read the small print on each sign, though, as some sales occasionally are number restricted and you really have to buy the number mentioned to get the discount price.

2. Be Expiration Date Savvy

An easy way to save money at Kroger is to buy things that are going to expire soon. If a food is a few days away from its expiration, it’ll often have a red and yellow markdown sticker. If you were planning to eat whatever it is in the next day or so, you should take advantage of the low price. Foods with these stickers are often 50% or more off! But don’t count on Kroger employees to mark down everything for you. Check the expiration date of everything you put in your cart. If you find something expiring in a few days that doesn’t have a sticker, ask a store associate to put a sale sticker on it.

3. Take Advantage of the Scan-Right Guarantee

Kroger’s scan-right guarantee is one of Kroger’s best saving secrets. Basically, the guarantee means that if something doesn’t scan at the right price the first time, the cashier shouldn’t adjust the price to the correct one, they should give you the item for free. I say “should” because this usually isn’t what usually happens. Usually when you point out a wrong price the cashier will just adjust it and move on. You may need to specifically mention the scan-right guarantee, at which point they should give the item for free.

4. Don’t Forget Your Kroger Plus Card

Kroger’s free Kroger Plus membership card is a great source of savings! The card automatically entitles you to dozens of sales store-wide. You also need to have the card to take advantage of the fuel program, which allows you to earn points toward savings at Kroger’s fuel center. On top of that, your Kroger Plus Card can be loaded with digital coupons, allowing you to bring coupons to the store without having to clip any out! It’s essentially a money saving card!

5. Combine Coupons

If you have two coupons for the same thing, you may not have to choose between the two. If you’re trying to save money at Kroger, you’ll be happy to hear that you can use one manufacturer coupon and one Kroger coupon on the same item. The Kroger coupon has to say Kroger on it, it can’t say “manufacturer coupon.” If you’re lucky enough to have a store coupon, a manufacturer coupon, and a rebate on a mobile app like iBotta or Checkout51, then you could save a lot!
