Spread the word: No one needs to try to keep Grocery Watch a secret.
It's in everyone's best interest to have as many members of this site as possible. With ad revenue from more members, we can track more items, prices and stores. We can gain more leverage for you the consumer. So send your friends an email. Or give them a phone call. Talk about us on Facebook. Whatever floats your boat! But if you see a value in what we're trying to do, PLEASE spread the word.
Finally, we are all about customer service:
Scan or Fax Grocery Recepts:
Our system probably doesn't track prices or stores for many products that you regularly purchase. With over 1,000,000 product UPC codes to follow, we haven't gotten prices on every item in every store in the country. Help us track products you buy and stores you visit by either 1) scanning your checkout receipts and emailing them to receipts@grocery-watch.com, or 2) faxing them to 1-413-683-3013. We'll make sure that we start following those items and visiting stores in your part of the country. As well, we'll be sure to look for coupons, recipes and great deal alerts based on those items as well.
Find an ad on our site that you hate?
Just email a screen shot of the ad and the URL for the product behind the ad and we'll put it under editorial review and likely block it within a couple of hours.
Search may be thin at times.
We are adding items and prices so fast that Google can't keep up with indexing all our pages. We use Google for our intra-site general search, so sometimes the results are much thinner that the true breadth of our site. This problem will gradually go away over time. Also remember that you can use Price Check to do a live database search against our full product/price database.
