Me, too! That's why I wrote to the Help Desk and asked them that very thing!....haven't gotten a reply yet!

I didn't object much with the last reduction in fee for this client. The requirements and length of report also were reduced. Were there reductions in requirements or report with this recent fee drop?
This is a perfect example of why MF and other MSCs lower the shopper fees. Shoppers will still take them even at the reduced fee.@guysmom wrote:
I just checked the paperwork from one of their $5.00 jobs that I took for March, and the requirements look the same. I had to think long and hard about taking them at the reduced price. The reports for these grocery shops are SO MUCH EASIER than the ones done by a Sassie company that I have done 3 for in the past month. For Market Force, the fee + reimbursement is now $15.00 total. For the Sassie company, the fee + reimbursement is $13.00 total. Plus the Sassie report is L-O-N-G, with MUCH more narrative than Market Force's report. Plus I frequent the MF grocery stores often, whether it be the main store or the competitor. So, I'm going to try 4 more for March....to me they are easy, and it HAS helped with my grocery budget!

You will probably get a chance to find out. MF has been lowering fees for years. As soon as they find takers at one rate, they float a lower rate.

Too funny. My bookmark says Market Force, but my spreadsheet still has ShopNChek! I found them to be much, much nicer back then. Probably because they were a bit smaller. Is my memory bad or did they pay like $15 for cell phone shops back in 2004 to 2006?

Yes, guysmom! All shoppers are not created equal. We have different needs, wants, time, skills,and tolerances. Whether shops pay peanuts or pine nuts, it's an individual decision.
Regarding the grocery shop, it can be a boon to the pantry, with minimal time involved.
