The end of P&G eSaver coupons as a new savings option emerges
I was put yesterday and found a sad e-mail in my inbox this morning. Procter & Gamble will be ending its e-coupon program effective. Dec. 31. This means no more P&G coupons that can be loaded directly onto your shopper’s card at Kroger.
The company did not indicate why it is ending the program, although my guess would be it has something to do with double-dipping, where people were using a paper coupon and an e-coupon on one transaction, which is not allowed. Whatever the reason, this just means there is one less way to save. Too bad.
So if you want to buy any P&G products with your e-coupons, get them now!
There is a new option emerging for e-coupons. Kroger has launched its own digital coupons site. Sign-in or register your Kroger Plus card and load coupons directly to it. If you want to learn more about electronic, or e-coupons, read a blog I wrote about it earlier this year here.
Kroger launched a similar program in June to raise money for food pantries but has apparently continued it. There are a lot of good ones on this new Kroger site so check it out and start saving!
The interesting thing about this Kroger site is that I can view the coupons I loaded from P&G on there, too, so maybe they will be partnering on this site? I am not sure, all I know is I have tons of great coupons to use!

“double-dipping” would be the only way to actually get a deal at Kroger since they charge so much more than other stores. Most of the time when they have something on “sale” it is more expensive than the “regular” price at Meijer.
