Still Paying For Food?

As I mentioned before, one of the perks of being a mystery shopper is all the great free stuff you get, but the best part for me is getting to eat FREE! I LOVE Food! As a paid shopper I get to eat at many restaurants and I do assignments at pretty much every major fast food franchise in my area. This includes MacDonald's, Arby's, KFC, A&W, and more, but there are also fancy places with dining service as well.

As if that wasn't cool enough, you can get groceries for free too! Many major grocery stores and supermarkets are part of the mystery shopping programs and there is a reimbursable amount you get to spend for groceries while doing the assignment, as well as your pay for doing it. It varies from store to store, as some will just want you to pick up only 1 or 2 items to evaluate the checkout service, while others will want the entire store evaluated with a purchase made from each department!

Some stores have to be shopped every month while others might be every 2 or 3 months. There is a major grocery chain that I evaluate every month for every department and that shop alone counts for most of my monthly groceries and its all free for me! It's a really sweet deal!

High Oil Prices! Free Gas Anyone?

I have to admit that there are times like these when I am glad I'm a mystery shopper! I filled up my car tank today and I just couldn't believe how high the gas prices are! Wow!

Oil prices are about the highest they've ever been and the prediction from experts is that they will keep rising and gas prices will be through the roof by the busy summer season. I kinda feel bad for people who don't get their gas free like I do.

Oh well, I guess I'll just drive with my free tank of gas to a fast food Drive Thru and get a free meal and then grab a free movie rental on the way home. Keep on smiling!
