December Kroger Shops

I’ve been trying to keep an eye out for them as well. I’m not sure if they are done for the year or not. I remember doing them in December with the old MSC.
The Field Services Manager sent a email on 11/29 stating a few changes were being
made to the instruction sheets (cheese questions) and that the new round would be posted on 12/5.

Thank you! I didn't get that email, not sure if I should have. I'll review the guidelines before shopping this month!

I don’t think I received that email either…
I didn't get the email either. Oh well.

I got that email.
"Kroger has a few changes that need to be made to their instruction sheets for the next period. Just a few new cheese questions, nothing large scale. However, we can’t make the changes to the instruction sheets until the current period ends on Saturday.
We have been told that the updates will be made on Monday 12/5. Due to that, the new round of Kroger shops will not be posted until Monday 12/5. The first date that shops may be performed is 12/6. This is a shortened period, so please self-assign at the beginning, as soon as they are available."

December shops have dropped! Two extra questions on Murray Cheese kiosks, in select stores. Easy! Pickup shops as of this moment haven't posted yet.
BONUS: I was able to self assign some of the shops that I couldn't before. Reset maybe??

Came here to say I couldn't see new cheese questions, but I'm not sure any of the stores in my area have Murray's cheese kiosks! We aren't that fancy! 
Saw a lot of competitor shops, too, but no pickups yet.

Did you see any competitor pickup? I didn’t see any in my area
I’ve only seen competitor pickup once before this year.
I only see one chain of competitors and they're very local with few stores.
My city (Houston) has more competitor pick-ups than I've ever seen before.
Several competitor picks ups in middle TN

Picked up a competitor but not pick up.
Does anyone know if there is a way to calculate when the cycle ends and the next month will post? I see from my records they have posted as early as the 5th and as late as the 16th. I'd love to know within a couple of days when to start looking rather than checking multiple times a day every day.
Rmkeith, I check daily, from about the middle of the first week of the month until they are posted. I forgot one month and really screwed myself. I only got 5 shops and none of them were pickup shops.

This is my experience. I'm not on the emails that others have mentioned in this thread as well.
Is it possible there are two companies doing these shops at the same fees/reimbursements?

These are definitely one company. The problem is I think a lot of their stuff ends up in spam. I didn't get the email either but I found it in my spam folder.
Nola, I don't think they have to beg folks to do grocery shops. Not sure I've seen an email about Kroger shops more than once or twice.
I have only seen pick-up shops in one month. I need to check much more often than I do.
What I am still trying to figure out is why some locations have wildly different fees for the same type of shops at the same locations in the same month. For example, Location X is shopped more than 10 times each month. About 4 of those full-service shops pay $24 each plus $9 reimbursements. The other full-service shops at that same location pay only $9 each plus $9 reimbursements. I only take the $24 ones.

I'm not getting emails either. I just mark on my calendar which day to start looking for new shops, and I check obsessively. I have 7 cats to feed, after all!
