Kroger Stores Make Change to Coupon Policy
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Kroger, one of the United States' largest supermarket chains, introduced a new policy at select stores that allows shoppers to access digital-only discounts via printed flyers, addressing concerns from those unable to benefit from online coupons. A spokesperson for Kroger told Newsweek: "We are always listening to our customers to create a better shopping experience. To make it simpler for our customers to take advantage of the full value our stores offer, we are providing an easy-to-use flyer that customers can scan to save with digital coupons." FILE - A customer loads his truck after shopping at a Kroger grocery store on September 09, 2022 in Houston, Texas. FILE - A customer loads his truck after shopping at a Kroger grocery store on September 09, 2022 in Houston, It Matters The shift underscores the ongoing challenge posed by the digital divide, particularly among the elderly and lower-income shoppers. Digital-only coupon systems left out those who lacked reliable internet or smartphones, creating a disparity in grocery pricing and access to essential savings. According to two 2021 Pew Research Center reports, one in four adults aged 65 and over did not use the internet in 2021, and 13 percent of adults in low-income households lacked access to the internet whether through a smartphone or broadband, resulting in missed savings opportunities. What To Know Printed "Weekly Digital Deals" sheets are now available at entrances and customer service desks in participating Kroger-operated stores, including QFC and Fred Meyer locations in Seattle, according to a report by KOMO News. With these sheets, customers can scan a single barcode at checkout to access all advertised discounts, streamlining a process that otherwise required internet access and a smartphone. The new printed deal option has not yet been implemented chain-wide across all Kroger-owned grocery stores, the report said. During a recent earnings call, Kroger executives recognized the need for promotions that are "simple and accessible for all customers" but have not detailed a timeline or plan for company-wide implementation of the printed deals option. Earlier this year, Kroger was voted the 5th most trusted grocery and convenience store in the U.S. in Newsweek's 2025 ranking of America's Most Trustworthy Companies. "We work to earn trust every day by delivering great quality food at low prices," said Ron Sargent, Kroger's chairman and CEO. What People Are Saying Kroger CFO David Kennerley said during the earnings call: "Rather than a customer having to get out their phone to get a digital coupon in-store, we're trying to make the customer experience in-store much easier for them." Edgar Dworsky, founder of Consumer World, Checkbook, per KOMO News: "Kroger is finally doing something good for consumers who have been cut out of being able to use digital coupons." What Happens Next The Kroger spokesperson didn't specify which store brands and locations had adopted the printed "Weekly Digital Deals" flyers, or if the initiative was permanent.

‘Can't and won't quit': Manhunt for Washington dad accused of killing 3 daughters now in 4th week
[Attached video: New video released amid manhunt for man accused of killing daughters] KITTITAS COUNTY, Wash. (WJW) — Authorities in Washington state said they are not giving up their search for a father accused of killing his three young daughters then 'disappearing to the forest.' The manhunt for Travis Decker has now entered its fourth week. The Kittitas County Sheriff's Office shared an update Monday about their search efforts and the urgency to find the 32-year-old man. Crews continue search for missing man in river 'At this time, there is no certain evidence that Decker remains alive or in this area,' a news release posted to the sheriff's office Facebook page said. 'Seemingly strong early leads gave way to less convincing proofs over the last two weeks of searching. Still, we can't and won't quit this search; Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia Decker deserve justice. And Decker remains a danger to the public as long as he's at large.' Detectives have investigated 'dozens and dozens and dozens' of tips including potential sightings, according to authorities. They've also employed the use of extra patrols and have spent days and nights in remote terrain following up on credible leads. 'Some search resources are being redirected to find and recover Decker if he died in the rugged wilderness during this intense search—a possibility that increases every day,' the release said. The sheriff's office pleaded with the community to continue sending in tips, saying public awareness and help is the best tool in the intense search. Murder-suicide reported in Maple Heights, 2 dead Decker is charged with murder in the deaths of 9-year-old Paityn Decker, 8-year-old Evelyn Decker and 5-year-old Olivia Decker. He's been missing since May 30 after authorities said he never returned the girls to their mother's home following a parental visit. The girls' bodies were found June 2 near a campsite where Decker's truck was also found. An autopsy revealed the girls died from suffocation. Last week their mother spoke publicly for the first time during a memorial service honoring the Decker sisters. According to KING 5 Seattle and KOMO News, Whitney Decker talked about her daughters' unique personalities and how they all connected through their ability to express their feelings, a nightly tradition that became known as 'the three feelings.' Swimmer's body recovered at Lakeview Beach 'I'm so thankful for the time that I had with the girls. And how the three feelings allowed us to connect when the world slowed down. And it really gave me an inside look into their day. I believe doing this with them allowed them to come into the world with open hearts and kindness,' Whitney Decker said, according to KOMO News. KING 5 Seattle reported that hundred of community members attended the memorial service which included speeches and performances. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Reckless driver launches Mini Cooper off ferry dock into Puget Sound during high-speed police chase, killing 2 passengers
A wild high-speed police chase ended in tragedy when a reckless driver launched his Mini Cooper off a ferry dock into a Washington waterway this week — killing two passengers as the car sank, according to reports. Harrowing police bodycam footage obtained by KOMO News captured officers frantically trying to save the 29-year-old driver and his four passengers as the car submerged in Puget Sound after flying off a dock at Edmonds Ferry Terminal at more than 100 mph late Tuesday night. Screams of panic echoed from the vehicle as cops tossed life vests and flotation devices into the frigid water, instructing the victims on how to use them, the chilling footage showed. 4 First responders frantically try to rescue passengers from the car submerged in the Puget Sound. Edmonds Police Department Four people, including the erratic driver suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, were rescued and taken to a nearby hospital, while two others died in the car, the outlet reported. It remains unclear if the victims — a 45-year-old Lakewood woman and a 48-year-old Auburn woman — drowned. 4 Bodycam footage of first responders rushing to save people from a car that drove into Puget Sound. Edmonds Police Department The horrific ordeal began around 11 p.m. when a Washington State Patrol trooper tried to stop the speeding Mini on Interstate 5 in Edmonds, sparking a brief pursuit, the outlet reported. A Snohomish County Sheriff's deputy launched another chase after spotting the same car dangerously weaving through traffic at speeds of up to 120 mph before exiting the highway and plowing through a gate at the ferry terminal. 'They went around the cones and went through the gate up there at the head of the dock and off,' Randal Viernes, a Washington State Ferries employee, told the outlet. 'Sounded like he launched it. He did not slow down at all.' 4 Screams of panic echoed from the car as cops tossed life vests and flotation devices into the frigid water. Edmonds Police Department 4 Aerial view of a car that drove off a ferry dock into the water. KOMO News Ferry service was temporarily suspended following the crash, with recovery crews hauling the Mini Cooper from 40 feet of water around 3:30 a.m., according to KING 5. The careless Tulalip motorist — whose identity hasn't been revealed — was taken into custody, though no charges have been filed. 'It is super tragic,' Edmonds resident Pam Blanchard told the outlet. 'Thank heavens another ferry wasn't docked there because if people were coming to get off of the ferry more people would have been involved. Honestly, it is really lucky that nobody else was involved.'
