DoorDash DashPass Deal Drop: $50 Off Groceries at Kroger & $40 Off Sephora

DoorDash DashPass subscribers have two limited-time opportunities to save big on everyday essentials and beauty products. Through a series of one-day-only "deal drops," the delivery platform is offering $50 off a $100 grocery order at Kroger and $40 off a $100 purchase at Sephora. Here's everything you need to know to claim these offers before they expire.

What are DoorDash DashPass deal drops?

DoorDash periodically releases exclusive "deal drops" for its DashPass membership program. These are steep, time-limited discounts available only to active subscribers—often lasting just 24 hours. Unlike standard promos that may run for weeks, deal drops create urgency and require immediate action. The two current offers target everyday spending categories: groceries at Kroger and beauty/wellness at Sephora.

DashPass itself costs $9.99 per month (or $96 per year) and includes unlimited free delivery on orders over $12 from eligible restaurants and select retailers, plus reduced service fees. For frequent DoorDash users, the membership can quickly pay for itself, especially when stacked with deal drops like these.

$50 off $100 at Kroger: How it works

On July 15, DashPass members can save $50 on a minimum $100 cart of groceries at Kroger. This applies to both delivery and Pickup orders placed through DoorDash. To qualify, you must be a current DashPass subscriber and activate the offer in the DoorDash app before checking out. The discount is applied automatically once you meet the $100 threshold.

This deal covers any grocery item available on the DoorDash marketplace from participating Kroger locations. That includes fresh produce, pantry staples, dairy, meat, and household essentials. It's worth noting that the $100 minimum is before fees, taxes, and tip—so you'll want to fill your cart to at least that amount to trigger the discount.

$40 off $100 at Sephora: One-day beauty savings

Alongside the grocery offer, DashPass members can also score $40 off a $100 Sephora order. While the exact date wasn't specified in the announcement, it follows the same one-day drop format. The discount applies to Sephora's full range of beauty, skincare, makeup, and fragrance products available via DoorDash.

Sephora orders through DoorDash typically include the same pricing as in-store, though availability may vary by location. As with the Kroger deal, you must activate the offer in the app before ordering and meet the $100 minimum before fees and tips. This is a rare chance to stock up on premium beauty brands at a 40% effective discount.

How to maximize DashPass deal drops

To make the most of these limited-time offers, follow these steps:

1. Activate the offer first – Open the DoorDash app, navigate to the DashPass tab, and look for the deal drop banner. Tap "Activate" to link the discount to your account. You must do this before adding items to your cart.

1. Meet the minimum spend – Both deals require a $100 subtotal. Combine items strategically to hit that threshold without overspending on unnecessary products. For groceries, consider non-perishable staples or household items you'll use later. For Sephora, look for sets or gift bundles that offer better value.

1. Stack other savings – DoorDash often allows stacking with other promos, such as credit card offers (e.g., Chase Freedom or Amex Gold statement credits for DoorDash), cashback portals, or loyalty points. Check your credit card benefits for any DoorDash-related perks before checking out.

1. Watch for service fees – While DashPass waives delivery fees, you may still encounter service fees and taxes. Factor those into your total to ensure the $100 minimum is met after the discount.

1. Tip generously – Delivery drivers rely on tips, especially for large orders. Budget for a 15-20% tip on the pre-discount total to ensure prompt service.

What this means for travelers and deal hunters

For frequent DoorDash users—whether at home or on the road—DashPass deal drops represent a significant savings opportunity. Travelers staying in accommodations with kitchen access can use the Kroger offer to stock up on groceries for a fraction of the cost of eating out. Similarly, the Sephora deal is ideal for restocking travel-size toiletries or picking up last-minute gifts.

These offers also highlight the growing trend of delivery platforms expanding beyond restaurant food. DoorDash now partners with major retailers like Kroger, Sephora, CVS, and Petco, making DashPass a versatile tool for everyday purchases. Savvy travelers can leverage these deals to reduce expenses while maintaining convenience.

Act fast—these deals won't last

Neither offer has a published end time beyond "one day only." For the Kroger deal, that day is July 15. The Sephora offer likely follows a similar window. If you're a DashPass subscriber, check the app now to see if the deal is live. If you're not yet a member, consider signing up—even a single month at $9.99 could yield $90 in combined savings if you take advantage of both drops.

Remember to read the fine print: offers are subject to availability, may exclude certain items (like alcohol or gift cards), and cannot be combined with certain other promotions. Always confirm the discount appears in your cart before completing the order.
