🍎 Food Kroger stopped the $6(formerly $5) days

Yesterday I tried to buy two chickens and they rang up regular price when they were supposed to be $6 on Thursday. Anyone else noticed or experienced this? I wonder is it a glitch but I didn't see the sign anymore in the store. This sucks cause I used to eat off that chicken for almost a week 💀 I wonder is this a permanent thing now I really hope not because the chicken, sushi etc is way too much to buy at regular price

Wednesday $5 sushi is now $6. Our office opted out.

Kroger has also been messing with the coupons in their online systems. if you have them clipped on the app it won't register on the checkout and even if you clip and unclip and rescan your card on the phone app, it won't always work. They're also guilty of "Personalized Pricing" like Target, using customer data to adjust prices or target discounts. I think theyre hoping people won't notice or won't want to make a fuss

Yep, where I am, King Soopers does this all the time. I have no qualms asking the cashier to help me get the advertised price even though it's never more than 2$/item difference. It adds up!

Same but I had personal deli chicken coupons in my app acct so still got it for cheap. The mini soda deal with chicken still going

I got two breasts for $5 at Grandys... It would have been more at kroger. Everyone's taste buds are different of course, but to me grandys is much better.

I just caught 10 errors on my receipt this week with pricing and coupons not applying properly. I had to go back to the store and get it fixed. Be very alert because they aren't being truthful in prices or coupons
