FURIOUS Kroger customers have slammed the retailer’s “$100 paywall” which “isn’t worth it” – despite others saying that subscribing has saved them half a grand.
Seething shoppers blasted the Boost Member subscription model – saying that signing up only offered them discounts on “off brand” items.

One outraged customer said: “Kroger rolled out a Boost Member subscription, and the members only coupons are for the Kroger brand s**t.
“You know, the off brand s**t THAT’S SUPPOSED TO ALREADY BE CHEAP AS F**K?”
They added: “Remember those post covid grocery prices? Well you can get them now BEHIND A PAYWALL.
“I hate it.”
The fuming shopper added that they couldn’t see how the subscription was worth it.
One user replied: “Kroger is literally the worst.”
Meanwhile, another shopper pledged allegiance to a Kroger rival, claiming that the competing chain offered much better services.
They said: “Team Aldi for life.”
Despite the fury, some shoppers reported making huge savings from the Boost Member subscription model.
They encouraged others to get past the paywall to access exclusive discounts.
One shopper showed that the sign up had saved them a whopping $5236.26.
They said: “I think it’s 100% worth it.”
The user also said that shoppers could also “get a coupon for 20-30% off your membership” in some cases.
Another keen subscriber said that it was “worth it”.
They listed the benefits: “Bonus coupons for free stuff almost weekly. Free delivery-I use it 1-2x a week.
“Fridays you get 5x points. Worth it for sure!”
While a third customer said: “I just became one. My cousin has it and he says it is definitely worth it.”
Other Kroger customer’s continued to complain about the paid service model, saying that their deliveries were delayed despite them paying the extra premium fee.
One shopper said: Why is it EVERY time I order for a pickup from @kroger I get an order is delayed?
“As a paid Boost member this is unacceptable! 7 orders in a row now!”
It comes as Kroger’s self-checkout stations continue to prove divisive – with some shoppers begging the retailer to tone down its machines.
Customers have claimed they were met with an aggressive automated message when checking out their groceries.
And in late May, disgruntled shoppers at the retail giant blasted the chain’s remodeling efforts at a popular location.
