Mystery Shopping Tip #3

The word "FEE" is used in mystery shopping, but it doesn't mean the usual "What it COSTS you." In Mystery Shopping, the word "FEE" denotes what YOU will get PAID.

Harris Teeter Triple Coupons Week

Whenever I can combine my couponing hobby with my mystery shopping, I'm a happy camper. I usually try to schedule my shops according to when items will be on sale and according to when a coupon may expire. By using coupons I get to get more items for my money in addition to getting reimbursed for groceries.


Harris Teeter is tripling coupon values up to $.99 until Tuesday, March 31. I went couponing yesterday (no mystery shop) and check out what I got. I only shop for myself, so it's not a lot of stuff. But, still good stuff :)


2 Wisk Detergent 2x 50oz BOGO $3.75 each - $1.50Q - $1Q = $1.25 for two
2 Dawn Dish Liquid $1 each - 2 $.50 tripled Q's = $1 profit
4 Green Giant Frozen Broccoli & Cheese $1 each - 2 $.60 tripled IPQ's = $.40 total
1 Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats Strawberry Cereal BOGO = $1.71 each - $.70 tripled Q = $.39 profit
1 Dentyne Ice Gum $1.19 - $.75 tripled Q = $1.06 profit!

Total Spent = $1.02
Total Savings = $29.95

Now, your mileage may vary; meaning that you may or may not be able to re-create the scenario above. Totino's Pizza Rolls 7.5oz are also on sale BOGO $1.15 each - $.35 tripled Q = $.10 each. Both stores I went to are out, but I plan on going back soon.

Legend:
BOGO = Buy One, Get One
IPQ = Internet Printable Coupon
Q = Coupon

Grocery Shops, Ongoing

High-end grocery store shops are now being offered. These are fun shops filled with variety. This is one of my favorite companies to work with! There are many different shopping scenarios to choose from and many scenarios include free groceries!

These evaluations require shoppers to assess cleanliness, merchandising/product display, customer service, and employee efficiency with particular focus on timing. These are non-revealed shops.

The shop fees have a wide range as there are many different scenarios (and varying degrees of requirements) and ALL shops also have a reimbursement that brings your fee + reimbursement total up to $10 - $30 based on the scenario.

The reports do not require narratives and most all comment questions can be answered in one or two sentences. Shopper feedback on this program has been extremely positive!

There has never been a better time to register as a shopper with this company! In addition to brand new high-end grocery store shops, we are also currently offering healthy sandwich shops, competitive grocery store shops, electronic audits and much more!

Pay is given via PayPal, 2-3 weeks after you have entered in your report.
