Getting Started With the Krazy Coupon Lady Mobile Android App

Congratulations!

You’ve just downloaded the KCL app, which means you’re serious about shopping smart and saving big. Or you’re thinking about it. Either way, you’ve come to the right place.

Since it’s your first time using the app, you probably have some questions on how to get started.

I’ve written out this step-by-step guide to answer all your questions so you can start saving and capitalizing on the best deals out there — stat!

 

1. Download the Krazy Coupon Lady app for your Android.

If you have an Android, you’ll want to download the app in the Google Play store.

Have an iPhone? Then head to the App store and check out the iPhone KCL mobile app guide.

 

2. Set up deal alerts so you never miss sweet deals.

Don’t want to miss any hot deals, do you? Didn’t think so!

We’ll only send you the best deals out there, and you can change your alert settings whenever you want.

1. Tap on “Notify me of deals!”
2. Tap “Allow” to give Krazy Coupon Lady permission to send you notifications.
3. You’re all set! Get ready for some KRAZY good deals coming your way.

Want to customize your KCL deal alerts? At any time, visit the Alerts section of the app by tapping on “Alerts” from the bottom navigation bar of the KCL app.

So how do deal alerts work exactly? Let’s say you choose “air fryer.” Anytime there’s a hot deal on air fryers, Krazy Coupon Lady will send a push notification directly to your phone so you can hop on it right away.

Want to change the deals you receive notifications for? Just toggle the button off.

If you want to stop receiving notifications, then you can toggle “Push Notifications” off and we’ll leave you alone until you’re ready.

 

3. Select your favorite stores and brands to get relevant deals and coupons.

After downloading the app, you can choose your top stores from the yellow header box at the top of your My Deals page. Give the heart next to your favorite retailers a tap and that’s it!

Not sure which stores to add? I suggest starting with Target and CVS since these are super coupon-friendly stores.

Want to unfavorite a store? Tap on the heart again to remove it from your favorites list.

Don’t see your store? That means we aren’t covering it right now. We try to stick with the best stores for couponing, but if you think a store you like should be added, contact us and let us know!

PRO TIP: You can add or remove stores from your list at any time by tapping on the “Stores” icon in the bottom menu screen.

4. Create your KCL account.

 

To create an account or log in to your existing KCL account, tap on the profile image in the upper right corner of the app. You can skip and use the app as a guest, too, but you won’t get access to all the awesome features, and where’s the fun in that?

With an account, you can create shopping lists based on your favorite deals and brag about how much money you save to the other members of the KCL community.

By creating an account, you also automatically subscribe yourself to our Daily Deals email. You can opt out anytime, but then you won’t see all the ways you can save!

 

5. Fill out the rest of your profile.

Once logged in, take a moment to finish setting up your profile.

Access your profile by tapping on the profile icon in the upper right corner, then “Edit Profile.”

Within your profile, you can:

• Update your email address.
• Update your display name and first and last name.
• Add or change your profile picture.
• Update your profile password (email users only).
• Delete your account (Keep in mind, you won’t be able to reactivate your account and will lose all of your personal settings, store preferences, favorites, and brags. We cannot recover deleted profile data.)

 

 

6. Find The Krazy Coupon Lady app menu.

The menu can be found by tapping on the 3-bar menu in the top left of your screen.

In the KCL app menu, you’ll find —

1. The “Start Here!” guide is everything you need to know to coupon like a pro. All of our best couponing, tips, tricks, and how-to guides can be found here. Whether you’re new to couponing or a seasoned couponing pro, you’ll definitely want to check this area out!
2. Have questions? Comments? Concerns? Contact Us! Seriously … there’s nothing we love more than hearing from readers in the KCL community, so please reach out anytime!

4. And don’t forget to give us a follow on all of your favorite social platforms! Yeah, we’re kind of everywhere, and we really do love connecting with our readers wherever we can.

 

7. Navigate the KCL app.

• My Deals

Under each tab, you can share and/or save freebies, coupons, and deals to your “My List” tab, which is located on the bottom menu of your home screen.

Why don’t my coupons match yours?

The coupons in weekly inserts vary by region.

Many times, inserts from different areas will even have a coupon for the same product but the value will differ. It’s not guaranteed that your area will have the same coupons.

Why don’t the sales at my store match yours?

Some deals, particularly in-store clearance finds, can vary from store to store. When we post clearance deal pricing, it’s based on location and availability. Clearance is store overstock and really depends on how much inventory the store has to sell and how quickly they want to sell it. When available, we’ll include a link to Brickseek on in-store clearance deals so that KCL readers can check the price and availability near them.

If you ever have questions, we suggest calling your store ahead of time or visiting their website to view the weekly sales before you make the trip!

 

What do SS, USS, SAVE, and PG mean?

SS, USS, SAVE, and PG are all separate newspaper coupon inserts that come out in the Sunday newspapers:

• SS = Smart Source
• USS = Unilever SuperSaver
• SAVE = SAVE, formerly RetailMeNot (RMN)
• PG = Procter & Gamble
