"Kroger, one of the country's largest grocery chains, followed suit by launching digital coupons in the late-aughts. Those clickable savings are now accessible via an app and the company's website, which are linked to rewards cards. However, the process hasn't been embraced by all shoppers, particularly anyone who lacks reliable access to the internet or a smartphone, along with the capability to navigate those communication technologies."
"Taking advantage of those discounts is as easy as remembering to snag the new "Weekly Digital Deals" flyer, which features pictures of the sale products along with prices. It should be available in racks at entrances and the customer service kiosk (though if you've ever had to wait in line behind half a dozen people sending money orders or returning goods, you'll want to grab yours near the doors)."
Kroger reinstated a paper option for its digital coupons by distributing a supersized printed 'Weekly Digital Deals' flyer at all stores. The flyer displays sale product pictures and prices and includes a barcode that cashiers scan to apply savings for eligible items. The print flyer is placed in entrance racks and customer service kiosks, and aims to help shoppers who lack reliable internet access, smartphones, or digital navigation skills. The mailed weekly circular was phased out in May 2023. Online users are advised to spend about 15 minutes browsing coupons beforehand while in-store users can review the sheet before shopping.
