Mystery Shopping

[hikerchick]

I have a full time job but as a single parent, I sometimes need extra money. I have been doing product demonstrations and mystery shopping on weekends, and/or after work. I made over $200 this week. The mystery shops often take 10 minutes or less and I chose locations on my way home from work, or on my way somewhere. I was just thinking with so many people struggling and out of work, this is a good way to supplement your income. Sometimes you get free stuff, too. If anyone wants the name of some of the companies I work for, PM me. Be careful of mystery shop scams - anyone who wants money from you, or asks you to deposit a check and wire the money IS not a legitimate mystery shopping company.

Some friends of mine when I lived in Florida did that a lot. They would normally do the restaurant ones, where the company would reimburse them their meal plus 'x' amount of dollars. They went to some pretty fancy restaurants for nothing!

I doubt it would do me much good where I live though, there is absolutely nothing here!

If anyone actually does this I would like to hear about your experiences.

That is something that I would be interested in, free food, or paid to shop. I wonder if there are any companies in my area.

oh, I've done mystery shopping. Some of my shops were really fun. I've taken out friends to lunch, work out in a health club and I even got paid to get the oil changed in my car. Some smaller shops were more of a pain, but I usually chose ones I could have fun with. Haven't done it in a couple of years though.

I just went to the MSPA jobslinger website and did a search on Massachusetts and came up with 687 jobs. Chances are some are near you. YOu can narrow it down by zip code.

Market Force Information seems to have a lot in Mass as well.
