Kroger’s coupon policy

Here is the updated Kroger coupon policy for the Texas/Louisiana region.  I e-mailed them directly and asked for it:

PRINT-AT-HOME (PAH) COUPONS:
*We only accept printable coupons if they scan properly at checkout.

*We do not accept “free product” printable coupons that have no purchase requirement.

*Buy-one-get-one-free coupons and other values that have a purchase requirement are acceptable but will be MUCH less common than traditional value-off coupons.

*We do not accept coupons for more than about 75% of a product’s value without advance notice.

*Legitimate PAH coupons will not be for a high value relative to the cost of the item. For example, a $2.00 off coupon will be acceptable for a product that normally sells for $5.00 or more, but a $2.00 off printable coupon for a product that sells for $2.25 is unlikely to be legitimate.

*Coupons will be rejected if they appear out of proportion or blurry, or are obvious duplicates.

*Legitimate PAH coupons are never copied, sold, or traded. Nearly all coupons are “non-transferable,” meaning they should not be photocopied or scanned and distributed to others.

*Coupons will be rejected if they appear to have been altered in any way.

*PAH coupons can be checked for validity at: http://www.printcoupons.com.

Kroger deals for the week of 4/20

Just a reminder:  Kroger’s coupon policy changed last week (4/13)!  You can find more about changes to the Kroger double/triple coupon policy here.  The two biggest changes are that they will no longer allow you to “stack” paper manufacturer’s coupons with loadable coupons and they will no longer double/triple coupons.  From what I understand, the registers are now programmed to deduct your digital coupon first, when applicable. I have heard from multiple people that there are glitches with this new program and even when you are buying multiple items and should be able to use a digital and manufacturer’s coupon, the register will not allow it.  Kroger has made some changes to their fuel rewards program:  you can read more about that here.

Don’t forget to load your coupons to your Kroger card:
Cellfire
Kroger
P&G Esaver
Shortcuts
Upromise

**For more information about loadable coupons and how they work check out this post! Digital (loadable) coupons do not double and are one time use.

If you need coupons to match up with these deals, don’t forget to check out My Coupon Hunter!
