In my area, it's $5 pay + $12 reimb & you have to get deli meat cut (is that the same everywhere?). I signed up for a bunch last month, then took one look at all the work you had to do and said NO WAY. Wrote them back and asked them to cancel all of them.

I get it that some consider it working for groceries and see the benefit in that, but I'd rather be able to decide what to spend my money on. I'd much rather get $12 pay and $5 reimb.

And my area is so strict on amount spent and timing of purchases. I think they said all weekend shops had to be completed by 6pm. If your receipt said 6:01, NO PAY. Ummm ... the checkout line is sometimes out of our control, ya know?

They are not all Deli (Boars head) but yes, most of them are. 1/4pd. of good cheese is duable, and their London Broil or turkey is good. The work, after a couple times is fine. I consider the great coupons I get from the stores rewards program, which gives me double what I buy. Saving 50.00 a weekend for groceries works.

Live consciously....

No, it's different in different areas. I live in the Southeast. Here, while we are required to stop and ask a question in the Deli, there is NO deli purchase requirement. Sometimes I get some bologna or cheese if I'm in the mood, but it's not required. Pay is $6 with a $9 reimbursement...PLUS, you MUST buy 3 or more items for the minimum $9 purchase. So it's different depending on the Client.

Has anyone completed the grocery store shop for this MSC? Their certification and shop instructions are OVERLY complicated and just confuse me. Just wanted to see if someone could explain this in 3-5 bulleted sentences. Hint, the Grocer name rhymes with ogre. I usually avoid this msc because of their loft certifications (and low pay) but am looking to increase revenues by trying out new msc's.

Sorry! they are not in my neck of the woods.
