Step 1: Locating Your Digital Goldmine (The Website or The App)

1.1 The Digital Doorway
If you're rocking the web, punch in
Hot Tip Alert! If you're already a regular at one of Kroger's awesome family of stores—think Fred Meyer, King Soopers, Ralphs, etc.—you’ll be using the same general process and likely the same app, just customized for your local brand. One account to rule them all!
1.2 Find the "Register" or "Sign In" Button
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.
Look for the little button that screams "Hey, I'm new here!" or maybe just "Sign In/Register" up in the corner. Sometimes it’s hiding like a kid playing hide-and-seek, but generally, it’s toward the top right of the screen. Click that thing like it owes you money!
On the website, it might say "Register" or you may have to hit "Sign In" first and then look for a link that says “Create an Account.”
On the app, it’ll likely be right there when you first open it, or tucked away in a menu (usually symbolized by three horizontal lines—the "hamburger menu").
Step 2: Gearing Up with the Essentials
This is the part where you need to bring your A-game and a couple of key items. Think of it like getting your passport—you need the goods to make it official.
2.1 Your Personal Deets
You're gonna need the basics, my friend. Think:
A Solid Email Address: Pick one you actually check. This is where all the secret coupon codes and "You've earned gas points!" emails are gonna land. Don't be using your old Hotmail address from 1998, okay?
A Password That Won't Get Hacked by a Squirrel: Make it strong! A mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and a special character or two. Don't use "password123." Just don't.
Zip Code: To make sure they know what local weekly ads and killer deals to show you.
2.2 The Great Shopper's Card Quest
This is the crux of the whole operation. You need to link a Shopper's Card to your new digital account. This card is your golden ticket to all the savings. You've got three scenarios here:
"I'm a seasoned shopper, I got my card right here!" Boom! Enter that 12-digit number (it’s usually on the back of your physical card).
"I always use my phone number at the register, but where's the card?" If you have an "Alternate ID" (which is often your phone number), you might be able to enter that instead to link your existing account. Check the prompts carefully.
"I'm a total newbie, no card, no nothin'!" No biggie. During the registration process, you will be prompted to "Create a new Alt ID" or a virtual card number. Most people use their phone number as their Alt ID. This 10-digit number is what you'll punch in at the register from now on to get the discounts! It’s super clutch.
Tip: Reread slowly for better memory.
Step 3: Sealing the Deal and Picking Your Home Base
Almost there! Time to hit the final button and choose your favorite store.

3.1 Hitting the "Create Account" Button
Take a deep breath, double-check that you haven't misspelled your email (that's a rookie mistake!), and smash that "Create Account" or "Finish Registration" button. You've done the hard part. Give yourself a pat on the back.
3.2 Setting Your "Preferred Store"
Kroger needs to know where you hang your hat—or at least where you plan on filling your cart. They'll ask you to select a "Preferred Store" based on your zip code. This is essential because:
It tailors the weekly ad you see.
It determines the available digital coupons.
It's where you'll pick up your order if you ever go for ClickList/Kroger Pickup (which you totally should—it's a game-changer).
Just search by city, zip code, or store number, and click "Make This My Store." Done and dusted!
Step 4: Time to Get Clipping (Digitally, Of Course)
QuickTip: Scan for summary-style sentences.
Welcome to the club, you magnificent saver! You now have full access to your digital account. Log in with your shiny new email and password, and prepare to be amazed.
The next step is to head straight to the "Digital Coupons" section. This is the promised land. Scroll through the glorious offers and hit "Clip" on anything you think you might want.
Seriously Important Note: You MUST clip the digital coupon before you check out. If you forget to clip it and realize it at the register, you're out of luck. The system won't apply it retroactively. Clip it or weep!
Now go forth, save some dough, and maybe even enroll in the Kroger Community Rewards program to donate to a local non-profit while you shop. You’re a grocery-getting machine!
FAQ Questions and Answers
How do I reset my Kroger digital account password if I forget it?
No sweat! Go to the "Sign In" page and look for the "Forgot Password?" link. Click it, enter the email address tied to your account, and Kroger will shoot you a link to reset your password. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
How do I change the phone number (Alt ID) linked to my account?
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
You'll need to log into your digital account, navigate to "My Account" (sometimes called "Account Settings"), and look for the section that manages your Shopper's Card or Alternate ID. You can typically edit or update the 10-digit number from there.
How do I make sure my digital coupons actually apply when I shop?
To ensure your clipped digital coupons are applied, you must either scan your physical Shopper's Card at the register or enter your 10-digit Alternate ID (usually your phone number) before the cashier finishes scanning your items.
Can I link multiple Shopper's Cards to one digital account?
Typically, one Shopper's Card number is associated with one primary digital account. If you and someone else in your household want to use the same account for coupons and fuel points, you should both use the same Alt ID (phone number) at the checkout.
How long does it take for my Fuel Points to show up in my account?
Your fuel points usually show up on your account within a day of your qualifying purchase. You can check your current points balance anytime by logging into your digital account on the website or the app, usually found under the "Rewards" or "Fuel Points" section.
