More About Grocery Store Mystery Shopping

Trader Joes does for ID checks. Used to make a killing and bring home a monthly bounty of wine to last.... well probably a week for me at 21 years old.

Aldi used to but I haven't seen them since covid.

Trader Joe's had the alcohol shops and some price checks.

Aldi did with the same company that did the Kroger's but am not sure about now. I did one in November

The questions and scenarios were precisely the same for Aldi's, Walmart and Krogers. Even checking for brands that Aldi's does not carry. I always kind of assumed that the shops were actually competitor shops on behalf of Kroger.

In the current Kroger thread I think this is agreed that these were competitor shops.

That probably explains why I don't see Aldi shops since I moved out of the area that has Kroger stores.

I keep telling my Gen-Z and Millenials to register and do the Trader Joe's ID shops but noooooo. DH and I would drink the alcohol.

I would give anything to be able to live that life again. I would do 8 stores twice a month and since it was so frequent I was given a $5 bonus for each shop. So I would be soooooo stocked up with wines and six packs it was living the dream back then. Still would give up a whole Saturday to do em if I could. Getting old has its cons

I'm 40 and just aged out of alcohol shop for our local grocery store.

LOL. This will always be a fond memory You have so much more in life to experience and I am sure you are loving it. :-)

I live near a TJ and Aldi. I shop at Uncle Joe's biweekly. never knew they were shopped. From A-Z which letter should I look at?

I did the alcohol compliance shops for a couple of years until I aged out. I think it was 30, or maybe 32, and then I was too old. You could buy anything you wanted, as long as one item was alcoholic, so they would check your ID. Then there was a max reimbursement of $15. Very easy shops and short report and I really liked them. If it's the same MSC, you want a smaller MSC that uses Prophet and is known for its sizing audits. Count off the first 1/3 of the alphabet and then you are close.

Thanks I was able to find it by searching Trader Joe's in my email. Apparently I still receive emails from that company although I've never completed a shop for them.
