There are generally 3 trains of thought about this:
1. Wait until the middle or end of the month and search for bonused shops. Essentially, this late-month shopping would be like planning your early-next-month work.
2. Always check the boards to keep track of when shops appear and how long some of them remain unclaimed. As the month progresses, bonuses sometimes automatically appear. You might commune with a scheduler about the unclaimed shops and offer your services and a suggested additional payment for your time.
3. How much shopping revenue do you need for a given month? Can you afford to take some non-bonused or seemingly low-paid shops? This option is entirely up to you and your need for a certain amount of income to appear at a certain time in your future.
Also, search this forum. Experienced shoppers have shared much more information than that above. You might find a method in previous posts that works well for you.
Happy shopping!
