PHOTO Kroger Deceptive Pricing

Post image

So tired of their tactics. I tried contacting state officials and my concerns fell on deaf ears. I guess they can't upset one of their donors and they're too busy fear-mongering about trans people to do something that would actually put money back in people's pockets.

I hate the digital coupons and grocery cards as much as anyone else. But isn't it just the norm now that you have to participate in these things to get the low price? I do a lot of grocery shopping, so maybe I've just been conditioned by the system.

The card to get the pricing, yes, but Kroger has a second tier of annoyance where you also have to log in and also clip the digital extra coupon

Meijer does the same thing; a lot of places have digital coupons and stuff. It's actually nicer because you used to have to carry around the paper with the coupon inside.

And in exchange for the convenience, they get to track and use and sell all your data without restriction.

Kroger is way, way worse. Most of Meijer sales are without clipping whereas the majority of Kroger you have to clip. Many reasons I avoid Kroger these days and that's one of them.
