Knocked out those two gas stations up north of me and did McD breakfast to help pay for the gas. Hit a church yard sale in Carrollton, KY and for $6.50 got a bunch of kids jeans that I will sell on eBay and ship for freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. No telling how much I'll get for all of them. They were 25 cents each for 26 pairs of NICE jeans. lol
I'm telling you, what a certain MSC meant for harm, God can turn into good!

Did 4 screens at Carmike and 4 screens at Mayfaire yesterday. Did 1 screen at Mayfaire today. Got paid to see Thor and Something Borrowed for free:-) Life is good!!
Moved some things around today since I didn't originally have anything scheduled. Did a McD at lunch for kid food and a friend and I are going to a cafeteria this evening. They were scheduled for next week originally but I was able to move them to today without any help. Sooooooo Fees of $7.50 and reimbursement of abouty $35. And my grandkids and I went to Fazoli's for lunch and Mom's ate for free. $6.13 for the kids and NO Report!

Today is Sunday & Mothers Day I normally work on the week ends unless it is an extreme emergency and then only Saturday.
Today will be a travel and rest day with just one short video shop this AM for $60. The next two days will be packed with 6-7 videos (ranging from $60 to $85 each), but I get to stay in the same place for 2 (free) nights in a row. How nice!

An apartment, grocery, two phone shops and an oil change/car wash.
Having a Medicare Health Associate come over this morning to possibly change my health Ins., due to a job I did. Working again Thursday for two upscale retail, and trying to get another along the way...then a great lunch "Yard House"...Ilbarl are you listening, did you end up doing it?
Live consciously....
Hi Irene, haven't done Yard House yet but thinking I will....as soon as one is close by. Did a haircut today and it was excellent! Got turned down on a phone mortgage job (too old and considered self-employed)...whatever. But was really disappointed cause that is what I did at the bank that I worked for and it was going to be right up my alley. This too shall pass!
Ibarlbar....one door closes and another opens, keep the faith. I'll let you know how Yard House is, site looks amazing. Have to have a beer (oy vey), then drive home from downtown.....I didn't see the one in Pasadena, we could have met for that one.

Panera breakfast, Wings restaurant for lunch where I gave away a $100 gift card, two bank visits, a big box electronics store. All done with a friend along for the ride so we had a fun day.

I took my nephew shopping at a children's clothing store and we really had fun. He is 11. He was so into the "spying aspect". He told me that he thinks he wants to do this when he grows up. (smile)
Grandkids are great at shopping with me. They are great at distracting employees and reading nametags and getting descriptions. lol
Got to give away a $100 gift card to a Wings server today.

Wednesday, one apartment and one new home, both videos. Total $180. Today one apartment video, then drive on to Orlando for a chance to write up some reports, rest and attend 2.5 days of IMSC conference. (Oh yes, and do an apartment shop and partner a friend for her fine dining shop.)

You are all so lucky in the USA. Tons of shops to pick and choose from. It is a little different here in the Great White North (Canada). Especially where I live. The good news here though is that I am the only secret shopper in town for most companies, so I have set my bar high and get very high shopper fees for doing the shops. For instance I normally get $15 to $20 shopper fee for any shops I do and I won't do them for any less than a $10 shopper fee no matter how simple.
On the other hand, my husband and I travel a lot, so when we are on the road, I don't argue the shopper fee, but take all the gas and restaurant shops I can along our route. It really helps pay for our holidays.

Today I finished my first batch of "Super Easy 5 minute Banks" that take about 45 minutes each when you've never done them before. lol 10 are done, have all info and visits completed on 8 more and just made phone calls on 10 more for a total of 28 of them. I'm getting better at getting off the phone quickly and stopping the ramblings of bankers when doing the onsites. lol Time is indeed money.
Also called three other banks to inquire about checking accounts and did 1 onsite visit to do an in person inquiry. That one was a blessinbg because last month that shop was $15 and today it was $25.

Breakfast Buffet ($14.50), Disney Store ($20), Pet Store ($25), BBQ for supper ($40). and I got in all the data from 8 more banks so I can start scanning.
Figured out that Pixresizer will resize an entire folder at once so that will speed me up a tad by only having to resize one folder instead of 8 pictures. Will also help on all those gas shop pictures. Can't believe I didn't notice that until today. lol

Attended 7 hours of workshops and spent 3 hours networking with 150+ other shoppers at a shopper conference. Found out which company does some hotels that I long to shop, since the MSC was here and recruiting. Delivered a ton of video to two MSCs who have reps at the conference. Bought a lightly used video rig for 40% off, to serve as a back-up rig on my road trips. Was recruited to to a large road trip in New England in July. I'm happy.
Tomorrow I do a workshop for newbies on such burning topics as how to get names, how to take notes without suspicion, in public, etc. Oh, yes, and met the principals of about 15 companies for which I shop and the schedulers for many more.

So right, if I see another Ralphs market I will scream....One more and I am done for awhile. It did help with the % off but so much to remember.

The Banks I do only allow one a day, so, doing so many in a day (Iblessyah) makes it work....

I am doing the Super Easy 5 minute" shops and they aren't at first. lol I am doing 29 of those plus several other banks I do as a customer each month. I have 11 more to visit by the 26th. The MSC I do lots for has different rules for their various types of shops for the same client.
Resting today and going to church. Some reorts to catch up on.
