New BOGO Deals

Buy one, get one free sales work differently depending on your Kroger store. At some stores, you buy one at full price and the second rings up free. At others, you only have to buy ONE and it rings up at 50% off. Check the Kroger app -- if it says "Buy One, Get One Free," you need two. If it just shows a half-off price, you only need one. This matters because you cannot use a coupon on an item that rings up as free.

NOTE: "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" and "Buy 2 Get 3 Free" work the same at all stores. You actually have to buy the required amount. The difference only applies to Buy 1, Get 1 Free deals.

🟠 Submit $2 back on 2 Ibotta rebate

Net Price: $4.49/2 ($2.25 Each)

🟠 Submit $2 back on 2 Ibotta rebate

Net Price: $4.49/2 ($2.25 Each)

NOTE: The menu price is $6.49. With the current "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" or "$2.00 off" promo, the final price is $4.49 for two. You can still submit the Ibotta rebate even if one of the items rings up free.

New 5X Digital Event Deals

With these deals, you need to clip the Kroger "5X Digital Coupon" found in the Kroger app or website. These are store coupons that can be used up to five times in one transaction. They stack with manufacturer coupons and rebate apps for even more savings.

Buy (2) Old El Paso Taco Shells 10 - 12 Count at $2.69 each

🟢 Use $1 5X digital store coupon (x2, -$2.00 total)

🟠 Submit $1 back on 2 Ibotta rebate

Net Price: $2.38/2 ($1.19 Each)

Buy (2) Old El Paso Beans at $1.99 each

🟢 Use $0.50 5X digital store coupon (x2, -$1.00 total)

🟠 Submit $1 back on 2 Ibotta rebate

Net Price: $1.98/2 ($0.99 Each)

STACK BONUS: Combine both Old El Paso deals to unlock a 1,000 point Fetch offer when you buy $5 worth of Old El Paso products. If you do both deals together, the total after coupons is $6.36. You will get $2 back on Ibotta and $0.74 on Fetch (1,000 Fetch points is worth $0.74 towards a $5 Kroger Gift Card). That brings all four items to $3.62 total or just $0.91 each.

Buy (1) Sargento Cheese Bakes 4.5 Oz at $4.49

🟢 Use $0.50 5X digital store coupon

🟢 Use $2 manufacturer digital coupon

🔵 Submit $0.74 Fetch Rewards rebate (1000 points, worth $0.74 towards a $5 Kroger Gift Card)

Net Price: $1.25

NOTE: There is a $2 Ibotta rebate available for Sargento Cheese Bakes, but that specific rebate states you cannot combine it with other coupons. Since we are already using the $2 manufacturer digital coupon, we cannot stack the Ibotta rebate with it. However, you can still submit the Fetch rebate. The 5X digital is a store coupon, so it stacks with either option. Rebate limits are 3 per app if you want to buy more bags.

Buy (1) Post Cinnamon Peebles Cereal at $3.99

🟢 Use $2 5X digital store coupon

🟠 Submit $0.75 Ibotta rebate

Net Price: $1.24

The 5X section is loaded again this week. Blue Diamond Almond Milk and Lactaid Coffee Creamer both drop to just 49 cents thanks to the $1 5X coupon plus big Ibotta rebates. The 14-cent clearance Pop Tarts are still kicking around at some stores, so do a clearance sweep while you are there.

Rebate Apps You Need for These Deals

Ibotta- The workhorse of this week's haul. Used for Cesar Dog Food, Popsicles, Good Humor, Tyson Bite Cups, Old El Paso Taco Shells, Old El Paso Beans, Blue Diamond Almond Milk, Lactaid, Post Peebles, and Follow Your Heart.

Fetch- Scan your receipt for bonus points on Sargento Cheese Bakes, plus the 1,000 point Old El Paso stack bonus.

Swagbucks- Powers the Werther's Caramels 2-for-free deal.

New to Couponing?

If this is your first time stacking deals at Kroger, here is your quick starter guide:

Download the Kroger app and create an account. All digital coupons are clipped through the app or website. Link your Kroger Plus card so coupons apply automatically at checkout.

Use the Scan feature to check coupon eligibility. When a deal only works on select varieties (like the Private Selection Cake), open the Kroger app and scan the barcode to confirm the digital coupon applies before you head to checkout.

Clip all relevant digital coupons before you shop. Go through each deal section and clip every coupon you plan to use. Digital coupons are one-time use unless noted otherwise.

Check whether your store does true BOGO or 50% off. This determines how many items you need to buy and whether coupons work on the free item.

Download Ibotta, Fetch, and Swagbucks. Activate offers before you shop, then scan your receipt after checkout.

For the 5X digital event, clip the 5X coupons before checkout. These are store coupons that stack with manufacturer coupons. You can use them up to five times in one transaction.

Tips for This Week's Kroger Run

Private Selection Cake is a full freebie. Just clip the free digital coupon, but check varieties first with the Kroger app's Scan feature so your cake rings up free at the register.

Werther's 2 for free is the easiest win. Buy 2 bags at $2.00 each, submit the $4 Swagbucks rebate, and get both bags free. Swagbucks does not stack with other rebates on the same item, so stick to this path.

Combine the Old El Paso deals for the Fetch stack bonus. Buying both taco shells and beans unlocks a 1,000 Fetch point offer. That brings all four items down to $0.91 each, easily the best taco-night play of the week.

Hellmann's Mayo is 75 cents at a half price store. If your store runs 50% off BOGOs, you only need one jar plus the $2 digital coupon to hit that price.

Check for Pop Tarts peelie coupons. The Pop Tarts Stuffed deal uses a $1 coupon physically attached to the box. Grab the ones with peelies still on them for the 99-cent price.

Sargento Cheese Bakes has a rebate restriction. You cannot combine the $2 Ibotta with the $2 manufacturer digital. Pair the digital coupon with Fetch instead, or swap to Ibotta if you prefer.

Print your coupons ahead of time. Rice Krispie Treats, Nutri Grain Bars, and both Pop Tarts deals use Kellanova printable coupons. Print before you leave the house.
