Why can’t I find what I’m looking for?

Well, there’s a few reasons why…

1. The item isn’t on sale/discount

Right now you can only search for groceries/promotions that are “on sale” or discounted.  So for example if you search for and can’t get results on avocados or sirloin steak they might not be on sale this week – try next week.  Perhaps you’d like to try something similar?  Try searching for something else in a broader category like beef (if you couldn’t find steak) or fruits (if you couldn’t find avocados).  It’s not about giving up steak or any particular food, but knowing where and when there is a bargain to shop for it.  It doesn’t mean you have to change tonight’s menu. Try substitute with something similar!

2. The item(s) you’re looking for aren’t in the stores we’ve covered so far – we haven’t gotten there yet!

Our main focus is to help people save money first and foremost on their food budget. People still have to put food on the table every day, every week. While we’ve been pretty good at getting a lot of the stores, keep in mind we’re rolling out as fast as we can!  We appreciate any and all feedback.  If there’s a supermarket/grocer/merchant that you don’t see up there, drop us a line and we’ll get on it ASAP!

3. Have you double-checked your spelling?

If you’re searching by City,State - make sure your city was spelled correctly.  The same goes for your item.  Have you tried using the “Look-Ahead” (the drop-down menu of items) option to cross-reference?

4. Is your formatting right? *NEW*

In the “Locale” bar make sure you type in the correct format! If you’re using a zip code, make sure it’s correct!  If you’re using a city,state make sure it follows the format: City, State Abbreviation

Example: Columbus, OH or Tampa, FL

(side note: Did you know you can also search in MULTIPLE locations now? Check out our post on how to search in more than one city at once! - a handy dandy feature if you’re working and living in different cities.)
