Bare In Store Covert Price Checks

"BARE International is scheduling covert price checks to be completed in the store using an app on your Android or Apple Smartphone!

Timings
The assignment must be completed by June 30th. This project contains approximately 170 grocery items to check."

===================

How do I discreetly the prices on 170 items?

The pay seems decent, but if I do one item per minute, that means I'm in the store for 3 hours? That makes it kind of iffy for me because if it takes two minutes per item, I'm in the store for 6 hours and then the pay level isn't what I normally agree to.

Hi there. I do these for them on a weekly basis and it is steady income. It now takes me 1 hour to do 190 items at $35 U.S. By covertly, they just mean do not ask an employee for help regarding where the products are.

It's not hard to do a pricing audit. I do pricing audits for another company that is for 50 items, takes just under 1 hour, and pays $25. Well they wanted to pay $10 but I wasn't having that. No one else wanted to do it for that pay (at least more than once) so they agreed to my terms. But I don't think it would take you 2 minutes per item unless there was something wrong with the app. And I do think that the drain on your phone battery is something to consider. They want to pay $60 for this audit, I would ask for $75.

You do them for Bare?

The audit I do for 50 items I have to enter the regular price, the sale price, and the loyalty price, plus take a photo of them item and the price sign and/or price tag. I haven't done one for Bare so I don't know what their requirements are per item.

Yes, for Bare.

I see them for Bare. I choose not to do them (I don't do any price checks).

I just went and looked. There is one for zip code 08031 at $55

Too low.
I would not touch any audit paying less than $50 a hour. $1/min is my rate.
If I could do it in 20 minutes, I'd do it for $20.
Otherwise, after taxes, it's not worth it for me.

The one I do auditing 50 items for $25 takes me about 50 minutes to do. But, it is inside a store where I am already doing 2 merchandising jobs each week that each take 5-10 minutes. Both of those pay per visit, $14 each. So then I breeze through the audit and it's a pretty nice profit for about 1.25 to 1.5 hours of work. Not quite $50 an hour but still worth it to me. Oh, and all of this can be done on my phone so I have no reporting to do when I get home.

Hunh, I do those 50 items ones every month. Yeah, they only pay 10, but they usually only take 10 minutes or less if the store doesn't have a lot of the items.

As for the grocery stores, they usually take 1-2 hours at most. each item takes maybe 20 seconds or so.

Might be a different company. My 50 item project is at a grocery store and they have almost everything on the list.

I just applied for two covert price checks at a large Wholesale grocery store that sells in bulk. They want 1200 items checked and they are paying $215. I've never done one of these before and I Came Upon This site after applying for two of these assignments in two different locations. I'm wondering if I made a mistake I'm doing this but the money seems really good at least for me.

Has anybody ever done these many items and if so how long has it taken you to do that on average?

Thank you very much I find this form really informative.

The job posted on Bare here is for 670 grocery items at a warehouse requiring membership or a day pass. Egads. You do have 4 days to complete. I have done price audits before for various companies and do not mind them - all using the app. But have no experience requesting a day pass (4 days in a row?!) The upside is that you would not be interrupted by employees who keep offering to help.

670 could probably be done in one day if the app doesn't act up. Weird, BARE doesn't have that in my area. Certified did for a little while, but they seem to have lost the contract right after getting it.

JAS-I see. That is a different audit.

How do you respond if an employee asks what you are doing? Checking so many prices I would think would cause questions

I was thinking the same thing. How do you not get spotted?

I don't do price check audits, but if you are approached by an employee you could say you're planning your ____ wedding reception, company picnic, whatever-whatever, and need to get a ballpark figure.

At traditional grocery stores, I often get asked by employees if they can help me find something. I do feel stupid saying, No. But you may not spend a lot of time in each department. I am always glad to move on to the next. The beauty of the warehouse store, I am assuming, is that no one would care you are there. I once did a smaller grocery store, i.e. think organic foods, and the employees' offer to help and my refusal each time was uncomfortable. I've never done another one of those.

Hi there,
I am Canadian so $35 U.S. is $46/hr for me so pretty close to $50/hour. More than worth it, in my opinion, especially when it is steady income and the number of items change so I usually get a minimum of $320/month Cdn .
