Are the Classified Ads really free?
Sure are! You can list things you would like to sell and can
even upload pictures! The rule is that if you are a business and
want to list items you have to be a business member of PriceCatcher.
But as long as what you are selling on PriceCatcher's classifieds
are not what you sell at your business then it's free to use!!

Why would I want to use a PriceCatcher web email address?
Are you tired of junk email? If so it may be because you have
given your regular email address to websites that ask for them.
You can instead get a free PriceCatcher email address by signing
up in the left side of our front page and use that as your secondary
email address! That's one reason to use the free email service.
The other is that you can access your PriceCatcher email address
from any computer where you can log on to PriceCatcher! This way
you can read your email when you are at your friends house or
at a library when on vacation! And why not get a PriceCatcher
web address? It's free!

know of a great useful webpage we'll consider listing it in our
"Useful Links" section. Business should contact us for rates to
have a business webpage and get listed or to list the one they
already have.
If I do sign up my business to be listed where on PriceCatcher
would it appear? We list the front page of your webpage in our
search engine, in at least one shopping category/and possible
