9 Things Kentuckians Always Buy on Sale at Kroger That Everyone Else Pays Full Price For
Last year, Kroger’s canned yams were two for $6 in its Thanksgiving sale.
Kentuckians who wait for deals like that keep more of their holiday budget.
Here are the things Kentuckians always buy on sale at Kroger that everyone else pays full price for.
1. Frozen Turkey
Kroger titled its November 2024 Freshgiving release “Kroger’s Freshgiving Prices are Lower than Everyday Low.”
That release priced a Kroger Brand Whole Frozen Turkey (14 to 16 pounds) at as low as 49 cents a pound, with no coupon or minimum purchase attached to that line.
For 2025, Kroger’s bundle included a Kroger Whole Frozen Turkey (14 to 16 pounds) and fed ten people for less than $4.75 a person, though that release gave no turkey price.
Kroger says prices and products may vary by geography, so compare your own store’s tag to these figures.
2. 18-Count Eggs
If your pie filling and your macaroni and cheese both call for eggs, a carton is the one to watch.
Kroger priced it at $1.99 for November 5-11, 2025, with a digital or in-store coupon.
The Cincinnati TV station WCPO listed the same 18-count carton at $1.99 among Kroger’s weekly digital deals in early October 2026, nearly a year later.
3. Chuck Roast and Steak
A chuck roast can cover the second main dish on your table.
Kroger priced chuck roast at $5.99 a pound with a digital or in-store coupon for November 5-11, 2025, so a 3-pound roast would have run $17.97.
Steaks ran $9.99 a pound with a coupon from October 29 through November 11 that year.
WCPO listed family-pack T-bone steaks at Kroger for $9.99 a pound in early October 2026, the same per-pound figure.
4. Shredded and Block Cheese
Macaroni and cheese for a crowd eats up cheese, so the bag’s price matters.
Kroger’s 16-ounce shredded and block cheese sold for $2.49 with a coupon during November 5-11, 2025, which works out to $2.49 a pound.
Shredded and block cost the same, so you can pick whichever your recipe wants.
Why One Coupon Can Cover a Whole Cart
Kroger’s 5X digital coupon page says you can buy just 1 item and still get the deal, while the Weekly Digital Deals page lets you use each coupon up to 5 times per transaction.
5. Stove Top Stuffing
Kroger’s 2025 Freshgiving release put Stove Top Stuffing at $1.77, one of what it called “unmatched savings on key seasonal items.”
Those prices were valid beginning November 12, 2025.
Kroger Turkey Stuffing was also in the 16-item bundle, if you’d rather stick with store brand.
6. 32-Ounce Broth
Stuffing and mashed potatoes both take broth, and the 2025 Freshgiving prices put a 32-ounce carton of Kroger Broth at 99 cents.
At that price, four cartons come to $3.96.
7. Cranberries
Pick your style: the 2025 Freshgiving prices had Ocean Spray Cranberries at $1.99, and the bundle also named Kroger Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce.
8. Canned Yams
Kroger’s Cut Sweet Jewel Yams in Syrup, 29 ounces, were two for $6 in the 2025 Freshgiving prices, which is $3 a can when you buy the pair.
You can bake them under marshmallows or mash them with butter.
9. Pumpkin Pie
A Bakery Fresh Pumpkin Pie was $5.49 in the 2025 Freshgiving prices, and Cool Whip was two for $4.
If you’d rather bake, the bundle named Kroger Traditional Ready-to-Bake Pie Crusts and Kroger 100% Pure Canned Pumpkin Puree.
What Else Was in the Bundle
Kroger’s 2025 bundle named 16 items in all.
Beyond the turkey, stuffing, broth, cranberry sauce, yams, crusts and puree above, it named nine more items.
Those were Super Sweet Corn, Baby Carrots, Idaho Potatoes, Turkey Gravy, French Sliced Green Beans, Cream of Mushroom Soup, Crispy French-Fried Onions, Brown and Serve Rolls and Original Whipped Topping.
The 2024 version of the release footnoted its per-person price as inclusive of store coupons and discounts, so part of any bundle price can depend on clipping.
Ad Flip Day
Kroger’s Weekly Ad FAQ says the new ad is available at midnight Eastern time on Wednesday.
Kroger says its Weekly Digital Deals refresh every Wednesday, which would put a new batch on Wednesday, November 25.
Thanksgiving Day is Thursday, November 26, so check the app before you shop that day.

The Sides, Added Up
Kroger’s 2025 Freshgiving release priced seven items one by one: Stove Top Stuffing, Kroger Broth, Heinz Gravy, Cool Whip, Cut Sweet Jewel Yams, Ocean Spray Cranberries and Bakery Fresh Pumpkin Pie.
Buy one of each, with one pair each of gravy, Cool Whip and yams, and the listed prices add up to $24.24 before tax.
Swap the pie for the bundle’s crusts and pumpkin puree, and the other six prices come to $18.75, before you add the crusts and puree.
