I use the required $1.00 purchase for most C-store and gas station shops to buy cat food and dog food to feed strays or donate to a shelter. I meet the qualifications of the shop and I am helping hungry animals.@catgrannyof5 wrote:
Okay, so I need some milk/meat or dessert. My grocery bill is usually $70.00/week for 3 adults and 6 cats. So my grocery bill is reduced to $50 to $60/week depending on how many grocery shops I did. You are not looking at the whole picture. Wouldn't you like to reduce your grocery bill in some way if you can?
You are awesome!@Sybil2 wrote:

Those of you that love the grocery shops am I missing something? In your area does it also require you to have like 8 interactions one for each listed department?? I've done it once for Customer Impact the fee was bonused to $20 and reimbursement of $12. However, I had to ask a question in each department and evaluate the cashier and bagger, I decided it wasn't worth it for me. I see the Trendsource ones almost daily and just hit DELETE.
I get emails a lot for a high-end Whole Foods like local market in my area : You will be making observations in the following areas: Outside/Entry, Produce Department, Deli, Espresso Department, Meat/Seafood Department, Grocery Department, Specialty Cheeses, Beer and Wine, Health & Beauty Aids Department, Front End – Check Out, and Bagging. You will be asking a question in each of the different departments of the store to interact with an employee. The fee is $10 with reimbursement of $25. Those of you that love grocery shops would you take this one??!! I can't see how it's worth it? You can easily perform three easy convenience store shops at $12 each that takes about 5 mins and reporting of less than 10 mins. for $36 and take that money and buy your food w/o talking to every single person in the supermarket!
However, if I'm missing some trick on doing the grocery store shops please enlighten me...

I don't really enjoy hearing about anomalies, like I earned $247.50 for yesterday because it's like owning a Rolls Royce, very rare and people are starving so I would never own one anyway.
A large payday at the end of the month is not an anomaly. It is the result of negotiating and is a normalcy. I don't get your connection to a Rolls Royce, people starving, and your not wanting to own one.

Why do people take $9.00 + $5.00 contractor fees= $14.00 grocery shops when its not even worth the gas to get there. Trendsource sucks and needs to boycotted because you are working for free people. Thes scheduler's pay depends on the shops they fill! When you guys take low paying sh*&ty shops, the MSC companies love it and they will continue to undercut the shopper. Demand pads to make it worth your while unless you live right next to the grocery store. Even then the time to input and do the actual shop is still really long. For crying sakes, unite againt these cheap MSCs like Trendsource, Maritz, Marketforce and Bestmark!
Mod note: It is against forum rules and an ICA violation to link the client with the MSC.

I don't see the problem, if I have to go grocery shopping anyway then why not use a free $14.00?

There are many grocery shop opportunities available across many companies. I have evaluated those I have come across. I found a few that work for me so I request and perform them. The market will work itself out naturally, apparently there are enough people that see value in the lower paying shops that supply meets demand.
I specialize in restaurant and to some extent marketing and small audit opportunities. Just because I do not see value in an opportunity does not mean it is not valuable to someone else. I am not going to upset myself or judge others over this.
