I made a quick to Kroger for produce and the deal on paper goods mostly. I hit the store at the right time as there were several produce items on markdown with several days of life left in them!
When I placed all of the groceries in the car I looked over my receipt to check the prices and coupons. The Dannon yogurt had a shelf price listed at $1.88 and they rang up at $2.49 and $2.79. I marched right back into the store to the customer service desk. I inquired about the price discrepancy and the cashier didn’t say a word. She just started typing numbers into the register and handed me $5.55 back plus my yogurts! Yes, Kroger has a scan right guarantee. If the item you buy rings at the wrong price (or in this case the ad tag was not taken down), you receive the item for free.

I didn’t know that about the Scan Right Policy. Thanks for the tip!
Yes, the scan right guarantee is wonderful. This is the first time I have had it happen at Kroger. Many stores have this policy or something similar. A good reason to always check the receipt!
I love the scan right guarantee policy! I actually had it happen to me on a 5 lb package of ground beef one time!!! I was tempted to go back and get more of them before they caught on, but figured that would be dishonest :(
Hi Shannon,
Wow, that is a huge mistake for them but a great deal for you! A week later I went to the same Kroger I purchased the yogurt at and the wrong sign was still posted. I didn’t buy them again though- I am with you on the honesty thing! But they should have taken down the signs!
I shop in the Kroger store in Batesville, AR. About once a month a mistake is made and I have never heard of the scan right guarantee.
Hi Brenda,
The scan right guarantee is in the official Kroger policy. Sometimes I have to gently remind them of their own policy! Next time, ask when an item rings up wrong. Good luck!
