Harris Teeter Grocery Shops

July 19, 2018 02:03AM
OH. MY. WORD. Harris Teeter has finally opened a couple of stores in my area. The MSC that does these has posted several shop opportunities. Oh my goodness....all the STUFF they expect you to do for a fee ranging between $8-$10 and a $5 reimbursement!!! NO. THANK. YOU. It makes me grateful for the other 3 (and sometimes 4) other companies I do grocery shops for!!! Now....I understand that if I did these, they would probably get easier over time, who knows?? But compared to the other 3 companies I do grocery shops for, these seem like WAY TOO MUCH INFO to gather for the fee offered!!

I think I agree with you and have avoided these cheapskate shops so far.

Harris Teeter is the better grocery shop in my area, the others are way worse. I can do this shop in the exact minimum time required, and I never take one for under $15 plus the $5. I spend about 20 on groceries each trip and call it free food, never try to make cash from it. If they stay there for a week or two the pay will go up. We have quite a few that start at 13-17 in my area, and others that start at 6, they must judge it on how quick the shops were picked up the past few months.

I wanted to ask about this last night! I read all the guidelines and said, "forgetaboutit!" I can make the same money doing far less at other grocery shops and not collecting names. The other shop type "B" was even more confusing and I may someday take one just to see but for now, NO!" tongue sticking out smiley

If you guys thing this is hard you should go read the guidelines for Lowes Foods. Way worse.

Glad to read that someone does these and makes them profitable! Also glad to see that they give bonuses, too! But I'm not ready to tackle one yet!!

You know, I have done these on occasion....they are my "4th" grocery MSC mentioned above. It **IS** a LOT of work for their shops. I don't do them at their base price anymore, because they came down $2.00 on their base fee this year compared to a year ago! But I DID snatch one with a $5 bonus last month.Yes, the Lowe's ones are a ton of work. But Oteixeira, if you can grab their Online Food To Go shops, and you don't mind waiting 6-8 weeks for your pay/reimbursement, you can get $40 worth of groceries with a $10 fee, and the report is really simple. Those are the ones I wait for now with that MSC!!!

When I was shopping full time, I avoided these shops.
