July 4 is, at the time this article goes out, just over a week away – and if you’re planning something for it, and haven’t started getting your groceries in, some places want to make it easy for you. Kroger is one such place: This year, it’s laying it on thick with the deals and exclusive products, in hopes that it’ll become a one-stop shop for all of your BBQ-ing, snacking, and celebrating needs.

Instead of trawling through the store aisle by aisle, though, use this guide to everything that’s going on Kroger-way. From money-off offers to meal inspiration, here’s what’s in store.
Your Kroger July 4 Guide Starts Here!
Deals
First up, let’s talk bona fide deals. Kroger’s offering two ways to save, but both of them are limited to online orders – and given that we’re eight days away from July 4, it might be worth putting them in now. If you’ve never ordered online from Kroger before, you can get $20 off your first order, provided that you spend $75 or more. You can also get free delivery on orders of $50 or more.
Kroger’s also offering a bunch of July 4-focused items this year at pretty low prices. Perhaps the most notable (and if you’re a dessert lover, the most exciting) are its All-American Ice Cream Collection, which features its Seventh Inning Swirl, Sweet As Cherry Pie, and Banana Split Social ice creams, which are all just over $2 each. Swing by its snack aisle, and you can grab its Sizzlin’ Snack Trio Chip Collection: Cheese Burger, Chili Cheese, and Buttered Corn flavored chips, all of which are $1.99.
The Main Event
Okay, that’s the snacks, the dessert, and the delivery sorted…now let’s talk lunch. Or late lunch. Or dinner. Or whatever you have planned. Anyway! Kroger’s stocked up on cookout staples this year, and its Private Selection Black Pepper Chicken Thighs and Korean BBQ Shaved Pork will keep the meat-hungry happy at the table. Burgers, meanwhile, come courtesy of its 80/20 Ground Beef Patties. And finally, to the salads: Grab some of the store’s Citrus Coleslaw, Truffle Ranch, or Spicy Blue Cheese Salad Dressing, which all come in at $3.99, and use them to top your leaves or shredded cabbage. Or, you can just buy some of its ready-made coleslaw. Hey, it’s a holiday; you don’t want to be doing too much work. Don’t forget to stock up on those BBQ drinks, too.
