Lexington couponers suspected it was coming, and on Friday, Kroger made it official: No more double coupons.
The Kroger Co. announced it will end the doubling of coupons on Sept. 22 at 98 stores in Kentucky, southern Indiana and southern Illinois, as it has in other markets. This includes its Lexington locations.
"In an effort to modernize the company's coupon policies, Kroger has been investing additional resources into its digital coupons and promotions," Tim McGurk, spokesman for Kroger's Louisville Division, which includes Central Kentucky, said in a news release. "This change will please the rapidly growing segment of our customers who prefer to shop and save without the trouble of clipping paper coupons."
Kroger has been shifting customers to digital coupons, which can be loaded to consumer loyalty cards, and are available at Kroger.com and through Kroger's mobile apps.
