I just started back to mystery shopping in August but so far I've gotten:

1. A nice Pandora Charm
2. Godiva chocolate (twice!)
3. Lots of free food
4. free movies doing theater checks
5. ornaments
6. Halloween stuff
7. stuff for my kitchen

I'm sure there is more I'm not thinking of right now.

Oh, I forgot about the Pandora charm bracelet. I did many shops to get the bracelet and several charms (plus her father sent her a couple charms) for my daughter's special 13th birthday present.

She had it about 2 weeks before she left it at a hotel (another mystery shop). I even risked my status with this company by calling the manager of the hotel to try to get it back.

It was a cool freebie while it lasted, lol.

Best things I've received this year (so far):

1. Bottle service at a nightclub in NYC
2. A wine tasting tour of Napa that included a driver & sommelier
3. Mountain biking excursion (Included with resort shop. No report required)

cat food, groceries, small rugs, drinking glasses, costume jewelry, gifts for family members, meals at TGIF and Applebees, one fabulous hotel stay with a dinner at the restaurant and room service for breakfast, more oil changes than I actually needed.

Clothes at H&M (my favorite store!),scarves (I love them now) Godiva chocolate, Christmas decorations, and yesterday a free Tofurky. An offset towards an expensive plumbing bill, and a free junk removal that was long due. I realized a few times this week that every single thing I had on came from a shop, from my hair tie to my underwear, socks, and jewelry. I was amazed at what I had amassed from that alone.

The best thing I got, however, was shopping a bank I belong to and getting a upgraded credit card where I will now earn $25 for every $100 I spend. I had no clue this card existed and was eligible. I pay my balances in full each month, so I won't get hit with interest. that was the shop that will keep on giving!

Oh, and massages and eyebrow waxes. My daughter's winter and upcoming summer wardrobe. Her Halloween costume. Candles, cosmetics, hair products and shower gels and lotions. I'm sure I can think of a ton more!

Vitamins and a syntec oil change.

My goals for 2015 are restaurants, and to begin scoring tourist traps, movies, and other lifestyle perks.

AND to figure out ALL the easy money shops where I'm in and out within 10 minutes with a 5 minute max report, with companies that let you stack 'em up like cord wood.

I didn't know Cheeseburger in Paradise gets shopped. What state r u in?

I love my free t-shirts, belt, toque, candles, hand towels, chocolate, kids building toys, vase, socks, bottled pop, expensive groceries, hand cream, scarf, gas and all that free fast/casual/fine food. I love my reimbursements.

Two pairs Rx glasses, facials, hair cuts, Aveda, gas, 100 bottles of soda (give or take a few), hotel stays, high end restaurant meals, 80% of my groceries, postage, clothes, all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean for a week, Trans Siberian Orchestra show, Swarvoski bracelet and earrings, Ron Jon clothes, toys for my grandkids...

Dining out and discovering a couple of new restaurants (BBQ and Vegan)
Dining out at another local chain that is open all the time that I go to from time to time
Other meals (fast casual)
Lindt Chocolates

And many others.....although the last month or two hasn't been as much (darn full time job!)

This year I have scored lots of fine dining dinners to places like Capital Grill, Flemings, Benihana. Also, another favorite of mine is Sprinkles cupcakes. I take in the dozen cupcakes I got reimbursed for and thank the kid's school teachers and staff for all the hard work they do. I got Aveda Products, a brand new winter coat for one of my children, tons of stuff at the Disney Store, Cheesecake Factory GC's. It was a great year.

I don't do a lot of reimbursement shops (hardly any at all) other than hotels on routes and occasional FF that's bonused well. I did however purchase a killer pair of selvedge denim jeans at a shop that I decided not to return.

Hotel stays, two pairs of prescription eyeglasses, lots of meals out, oil changes, groceries, hydration drink powder, and lots of convenience store items. I know I'm forgetting a lot!

Oh yeah, forgot the 500+/- convenience store items. That's a lot of Monster Energy Drinks!
