I have recently started mystery shopping and have completed a few shops that require purchases. Some items I will use and some I won't. What do you do with the items you won't use? Sell, return for refund, etc?

Outside of food shops, the last purchase shop I did was at GNC.

Birdy, this was not a regular shop. I had to go in and take pictures of all of the shelves, and make a purchase in cash. It turns out the register was broken, so dude gave me a receipt that was handwritten. I guess GNC wanted to make sure the money made it on the books. They did a bunch of them that week.

At the hardware store, the guidelines used to say you had to buy something that "fit" your scenario; for those, I checked with friends/neighbors/family and found out what they needed. One month, I supplied most of my neighborhood with new plungers!

I’d love to do hardware store shops but they only pay $6 and I’d have to drive 30 miles.

I try to get either things I will use or things I can give as gifts. There’s an easy shop for a store that sells women’s trinkets and clothes that I’ve gotten many cute gifts from.
That said, I have $100 worth of Nespresso pods sitting around. I want a machine eventually, I’m just too cheap to buy one at the moment.

Remember, if the item is reimbursed and you keep the item for personal use or sale (as opposed to discarding or donating it) the reimbursement is taxable income.
