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?

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 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!

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.

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!!!!!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.
