I know there are shops for the taking, however, personally, I got into this to pick and choose and have lost many shops I enjoyed doing and that paid nicely (not talking about huge 300 per shop, just decent pay). Short list:
About face and their fabulous cosmetics shops...all gone
NSS and their fabulous upscale retail...all gone, I made an easy 200.00 doing 8 shops in two malls, enjoyed it.
Ipsos and their 17.00 easy big box, down to $11/12.00
BJ's many normal jobs replaced by having to bring someone 30 yrs. or under, leaves me out. Still do one every 3 months or so, if not picked up by another. BJ's prices have risen considerably.
Restaurants abound for me, as do grocery stores and The Source still a good source as they have tons in my town with no waiting period, and are self assign for me, they pay quickly and driving consists of 4 miles tops of which I go to anyway. I consider this free food for the small report required...example, yesterday I did a grocery along with the coupons the store mails me for items I buy. The bill should have been $48.00, without coupons and with sale and coupons I paid 21.00 and recouped 19.00...I won't argue as I made jumbo shrimp and steak for dinner, and doing two a weekend, get close to 80.00 in food. Those that keep arguing with me over these shops, be my guest.
I stopped doing the phone shop, since one gave me a hard credit check which they shouldn't have done.
JITB, I have done for 14.00, but that one depends on my mood. Enjoy good food, and feel I am now in this for the lift in my enjoyment. We all shop for different reasons, that's the beauty of MS'ing. I went into this long after retiring as fun and a small supplement, plus being able to go out for lunch/dinners with purpose and feel I've saved tons of $$ doing this, everything adds up.
Haven't found my close by oil change in months, other shoppers beat me, that stings....and the beat goes on.
Live consciously....
