What the source did
- He told his Grok Bot to log into his Kroger account and clip coupons on things he normally buys. Kroger tracks what you buy and shows you those items when they're on sale.
- It also turns any rewards he has into Kroger dollars that he takes off at checkout.
- His post shows the receipt from the run: $112.69 saved, which he calls his highest single run yet.
- In a reply he says he has saved $1,600 so far this year "using grok", without breaking that down.
- He says it took some tweaks to tailor it to him. Asked for the secret, he said to just tell the bot what you want.
- Another user set it up the next night and asked it to send a picture of each item with the new price before shopping.
- Heads-up: the receipt's "You Saved" line is Kroger's total for the trip, which also counts store sale prices, not just the coupons the bot clipped.
“It's just a pain to go through and clip them all so I have it do it for me.”— Jacob Gay (@jacobgay1989), X

Our notes
- What it takes
- Grok Bot that can log into your Kroger account, plus your Kroger rewards. He shared no template; ours is built from his replies.
- Where it breaks
- Stores without Kroger-style digital coupons, mistaking the receipt's total savings (which includes store sale prices) for the bot's work, and a few runs of tweaking before it fits your shopping.
- Human checkpoint
- In our version it clips coupons and asks before redeeming rewards; it never checks out or pays. He lets his redeem rewards automatically.
- Tools involved
- Grok Bot, Your Kroger account, Kroger rewards

Copy the prompt
Ours Our version, built from what Jacob described in his replies. He shared no template; his advice was to tell the bot what you want. Fill in the [BRACKETS].
Before my next grocery trip, work on my Kroger account.
1. Log in to my Kroger account.
2. Look at the items Kroger shows as on sale or with coupons, based on what I normally buy.
3. Clip every digital coupon that matches something I normally buy. Skip coupons for things I don't buy.
4. Check my rewards balance. Tell me what I could turn into Kroger dollars and wait for my OK before you redeem anything.
5. Send me a list of what you clipped: item, the new price, and a picture of each item.
Never check out, place an order or pay for anything.
Approval rule
🛡
In our version the bot clips coupons and reports. It asks before redeeming rewards and never checks out, orders or pays. He has his redeem rewards automatically. Sending, buying, posting, and deleting always need a human.
Set it up
- Make sure your Grok Bot can log into your Kroger account.
- Paste the prompt and run it before you shop.
- Read its list of clipped coupons, with the new prices.
- Approve or skip turning rewards into Kroger dollars.
- Shop as usual; the clipped coupons and Kroger dollars come off at checkout.
- Tweak the instructions after a few runs. He says it took some tweaks to fit him.
Common failures
⚠
- Expecting it to work the same at any store. One reply has no Kroger nearby and plans to try other stores; this setup relies on Kroger's digital coupons and rewards.
- Reading the receipt's "You Saved" total as the bot's work. It includes the store's own sale prices.
- Clipping everything instead of what you buy. His version only clips coupons on things he normally buys.
- Letting it near checkout. Keep orders and payments with you.
Variations
- From his thread: have it send a picture of each item with the new price, so you can see the deals before you shop.
- Other replies in the thread point the same idea at price matches after a purchase, or at a Stop & Shop account.
