Kroger is giving away 100,000 pints of store-brand ice cream through its Free Kroger ice cream promotion, with the coupon going live at noon ET on Friday, June 19. Customers can redeem the single-use digital coupon while supplies last through July 3.
Ann Reed, Kroger’s Group Vice President of Our Brands, said, "We've loved seeing customers come back year after year for their free pints and now, we're going bigger than ever by giving away 100,000 pints." The promotion lands just before the summer solstice on Sunday, June 21, and includes classic Kroger Brand flavors as well as new options in the All-American Ice Cream Collection.
Kroger Brand and All-American Ice Cream Collection
The new flavors include Seventh Inning Swirl, Sweet As Cherry Pie and Banana Split Social. Reed said, "Summer is all about bringing people together to create memories that last a lifetime, and we're excited to capture that fun and nostalgia through our new All-American Ice Cream Collection." Customers who use the coupon can pick up one free pint at participating locations.
Kroger has made this a bigger giveaway than in prior years. It first gave away 45,000 pints in 2024, then 92,000 pints in 2025, so this year's 100,000-pint total sets a higher ceiling for how long the offer may last once people start redeeming it.
Kroger Family of Stores limits
The offer is valid at Kroger Family of Stores locations that sell the company's products, including Ralphs, Fred Meyer and Smith’s Food and Drug, but not at QFC. Kroger says the free pint promotion is valid in all U.S. states except California, Colorado, Louisiana, Tennessee and Nevada. Customers who miss the free pint can still get $1 off any two pints of Kroger Brand ice cream through July 3.
For readers trying to use the deal, the practical move is simple: go to FreeKrogerIceCream.com starting at noon ET on Friday, June 19, download the limited-time, single-use digital coupon, and redeem it at a participating store before the offer runs out. The open question is how quickly 100,000 pints will disappear once the coupon goes live.
