I'm finished shopping for my kids! Well...I have 1 more thing to try and get them. The Frozen Dolls from Disney. I've had shops there, but they never have them. 
I had so many PANDORA shops (thankfully), that I was able to start my SIL a nice bracelet for Christmas. Still have some people to shop for, but I'm hoping I have some other retail shops.
My kids' dad says I'm hoarding. Ha. Whatever.

Right. It is just me and my husband, and we are both going to school. So we will on a tight budget and we don't buy much other than necessities on a regular basis. So we just don't have much of a need for a lot of the stuff I see. So it is better for me to just take the ones that have a fee instead of buying stuff that is just reimbursed. I probably need to apply for some more companies so that I can find shops with things we would actually use Because that is a good point about being taxed on reimbursements!

Here are a few types of shops which can reduce your taxable income and your regular expenses.
Grocery- If you coupon, use these for non-couponed shopping, like meat, deli, produce
Gas stations- All that shopping driving means you go through more!
Shoe stores- Shop clearance and buy for next year.
Clothing stores (Even if you don't buy clothes regularly, they're good for stocking up on basics that are regularly replaced, like socks, underwear, tanks)
Oil changes- All that shopping driving means these happen more frequently
Cell phone accessory shops- Spare phone batteries, car chargers, etc... all good things to have extras.
Restaurant shops- Every lunch/dinner out means less grocery expenses buying ingredients to make a meal
Hair salons- These could lower expenses for your husband, if he gets them done regularly.
Bookstore shops: Either for yourself or as a gift
Massage shops- Treat yourself.
Shopping just isn't fun unless you reward yourself every once in awhile, and hey... you're getting reimbursed! Guilt-free reward.

These all sound great! I don't see a lot of these shops (cell phone accessory, bookstore, shoe store) in my area...so now I am more motivated to apply for some more companies
