KROGER shoppers can get serious savings ahead of Christmas but must act fast before time runs out.
The promotional deals end soon and are only offered through a specific feature.

To take advantage, Kroger customers must head to the supermarket chain’s website or download its mobile application to get digital coupons.
The coupons will be offered every week in December through the app and website for a total of $1,200 in offerings.
If that wasn’t already enough, Kroger seeks to offer additional deals and discounts through various categories through December and January to “spread holiday cheer and prepare for the New Year,” per a press release.
Mike Murphy, vice president of e-commerce, analytics, and execution at Kroger, explained that the move was made to ensure customers spent more time with loved ones than shopping.
“This holiday season, we want customers to create lasting memories and share their tables with an open heart,” Murphy said in the release.
“We hope the additional savings can help customers spend more time with each other and less time worrying about their shopping list.”

Kroger also offers a sweet meal basket for those consumers looking to make holiday cooking a breeze this year.
Through its Home Chef department, customers can order a boneless turkey, ham, or prime rib and six sides to feed the family for $75.
Customers must first go to Kroger’s website and find their nearest store to make the order.
It’s also important to note that Kroger will close down all of its 1,244 locations across 16 states on Christmas Day.
Limited hours will also be in place on Christmas Eve but will vary from store to store.

DEAL DEVASTATION
Kroger is also having a dramatic finish to the year after its $24.6 billion merger with Albertsons fell through earlier this month.
The controversial deal was immediately hit with a lawsuit from the Federal Trade Commission after it was announced in 2022.
It was argued by the FTC that the combination, which would create the biggest supermarket conglomerate in US history, would drastically decrease competition in the supermarket sector and lead to higher prices for customers.
After a court battle for over three weeks in Oregon, US District Judge Adrienne Nelson agreed with the FTC and temporarily blocked the merger.
Albertsons dropped out after the ruling and immediately filed a lawsuit against Kroger, claiming it didn’t take “any and all actions” to get regulatory approval for the merger.
Kroger has also faced backlash over its self-checkouts.
A customer recently called out the supermarket chain over claims only “2 registers” were left open during a holiday shopping rush.
Another demanded to know the “logic” behind the kiosks after being stopped by a staffer to check four items.
