Cell Fire: New e-coupons released

by crystal on October 29, 2008

Cell fire

Cell Fire has released new e-coupons that can be loaded on your cell phone or Kroger card. To read more about possible great deals you can get with these, be sure to visit Lorrie and Lizzy.

I am still trying to figure out this e-coupon thing since we finally have a Kroger store to use these at! I guess I'm rather old-fashioned in preferring to use paper coupons but maybe I'll get the hang of these high-tech coupons someday so I can pull in some even sweeter deals.

Maybe, but don't count on it since I'm still trying to learn how to use my very basic cell phone. (And yes, my family thinks it's quite hilarious that I'm all into blogging and yet still cannot even figure out how to access the majority of the simple features on my cell phone. Oh well.)

Crystal, These coupons can be added to your Kroger card the same as shortcuts. It is really easy. You can add them to your cell phone, but I would never figure it out either. That is why I waited so long to use Cellfire. This week I was able to get in on some of the free stuff they are offering.

I used cellfire coupons yesterday when I shopped a Kroger.

They’re just like shortcuts or P&G coupons. You add them to your card and buy the appropriate item and the coupon automatically comes off when the cashier scans the item. Of course, you can still use a paper manufacturers coupon too, making for big savings.

Lorrie is right, don’t think of having to use your cell phone just because of cellfire’s name. I love combining cellfire, shortcuts and P&G with my clipped coupons when I can.
You do have to have internet on your phone to get some of the other cellfire Q’s but you need to rock those Kroger cellfire deals. Get on over there now!

While I haven’t yet tried Cell Fire, I have used Shortcuts to load coupons onto my Kroger card, and they are SUPER! I would encourage EVERYONE to utilize this great feature, because you can use a manufacturer’s coupon IN ADDITION TO the shortcut coupon! It’s strange, since they are both technically manufacturer’s coupons, but it works. The Yo-Plus yogurts were a great deal there for a while: Load the $1 shortcut Q onto your card and then use a $1 MQ from an insert, and get the yogurts for about 25 cents per four pack!

Just a note: at my Kroger, the shortcut Q comes off immediately after the item is scanned, so it prints right next to the item. Other coupons show up down below.

Don’t feel bad. I’m right there with you, technology wise. We’re still using an old-fashioned camera, and if someone ever sends me a text message, they’ll be waiting a long time to get a reply. Like, FOREVER.

Wish we had more brand name grocery stores where we live to take advantage of e-coupons like that!

Cellfire works the same as Shortcuts and Esaver coupons you can use them with a regular newspaper coupon. They don’t double or triple if you store does that. When the cashier swips your store card as the items are scanned it will automatically take the coupon off. It makes for some awesome deals!!! I just downloaded the new ones yesterday and got some smacking deals at my Fry’s(Kroger) store!!!!!

I’ve just started using shortcuts, and LOVE it! I have found that they have some multiple coupons for the same item, but with different expiration dates. If you load both, it takes BOTH off. For example, I had loaded 2 of the .75/2 gogurt coupons, one expiring in nov, and one in dec. I also had a .75/2 paper q. I was so surprised to see that it took off BOTH of the shortcuts qs, so I got a total of 2.25 off of the purchase of 2 8pks, paying about 2.50. It has done this with other items as well, and also gives you overage.

I was wondering if you get calls from them on your cell advertising or promoting products. I tried registering onto my Kroger card without giving my cell number and it wouldn’t let me do it. If you have this would you let me know if you get unwanted calls. Thanks!

You do not have to actually give them your cell phone number. I registered a couple of weeks ago with my home phone (vonage). It did say I had to verify with an SMS message they were sending my phone but I was able to log back in the next day and add the coupons to my card with no problems!

You really need to get into the ecoupons! This week alone, I spent $23 after Q’s and catalinas on $97!!

I used CellFire for the first time tonight. Check out my post to see how it went….

My cell phone doesn’t get text messages (we had it blocked) – can I still do this? I read something about a security code text message?
