Has anyone done a grocery shop pricing 3000 items for $150? How long did it take and was it worth it?

For a while, I did a regular grocery store pricing job. This was the type of job where you had to manually enter the price and the sale/special price if there was one. The first time or two, I was lucky to do 75/hr. When I was familiar with where everything was in store, I could do about 200/hr. Assuming this is a similar type of pricing audit, that would be a minimum of 15 hours (and probably many more).

You think you'll be able to scan 3,000 items, be in a grocery store for hours, and yet remain covert?
Good luck with that.

I don't even know if 300 items is worth $150.

That divides out to five cents an item. PASS!

Please don't this to yourself. Lots of much better ways to earn $150. This will take days of your life, and my back and feet are tired just from thinking about what you would go through! Sell some stuff on Ebay for $150, go pick up some bonused gas stations, but don't do this!

I think you can make more selling blood and there's no walking around.

I do have experience with this and I will tell you that the warehouse store it is for does NOT have WiFi in it, and since it is a large concrete building the service is A LOT sketchy - especially at the back of the store. So while it seems easy that you could *boop* scan, move on *boop* scan, move on - the reality is that I had to wait sometimes 30 seconds for each one scan to go through. I did this over the course of two days until I literally could no longer stand on my feet physically - and only could do about half of them. Literally could not, even after 2 eight hour days in a row. And, since they could not all be completed, they could not use my information. All of that time and energy wasted.

On the plus side, no one cared that you were scanning things - I was never approached or even looked at sideways.

I've had to abandon a few shops in big box stores where the connection was horrible and they were nowhere near what this project is asking of shoppers to do. Absolutely ridiculous. Don't even try to do this, IMHO!

I used to do these at Costco, where no one cared how long you were there. I did it for almost a year. But…they paid 18 cents per item priced and I would do 600 to 800 each week. If they were desperate they would up it to 20 cents per item. That would be $600 for 3000 items.
