Need Extra Money? Try Mystery Shopping!
Who expected the price of gas to climb to a whopping $4.25 a gallon and more in some areas. Maybe you’re living on a fixed income while the smooth transition into a declining economy is putting you in a position to make some major decisions; should you buy gas, food or other needed items with your last $20.00. Supplementing your income may not be an obvious solution to some people, but it is definitely an option!
Mystery Shopping is proving to be one of the most efficient ways to bring in extra money. In most cases, you pay nothing and in other cases you pay the cost of making a small purchase that can be reimbursed. And yes, there are many companies out there claiming to be a “Mystery Shopping Corporation” only to turn out to be a great big scam! One group of scammers will mail you a huge check for about $3,000.00 and give you a breakdown of how you are to spend a small portion to mystery shop certain stores and Western Union the big lump sum left over to them. A week later, your bank sends you the bad news that the check you deposited in your bank account was actually fake, now you owe the bank!
Now here’s some good news, there are legitimate mystery shopping companies out here that can make you money. The amount you can possibly make can range from $50.00 to $500 or more in a single week. I know because I have done this myself. There are so many opportunities to make money with mystery shopping that it can be done any day of the week, evenings or weekends.
Even in the midst of what seems like a vicious cycle of scarcity, there is always a beacon of hope somewhere. Mystery shopping may not be for you but there is always something available. You have to take the time to find out what is needed for you and your family.
Some of the best websites I have found to be helpful for mystery shopping is www.volition.com and www.msfreedom.org . There is also a legitimate mystery shopping company that does all the work for you if you don’t mind paying there fee www.shadowshopper.com . You don’t have to settle for the financial crunch this season, supplement your income!

did you really feel you made money mystery shopping? I have done it for over 2 years and have stopped doing it unless it’s for something like oil changes or dinner. I didn’t feel I was making money after the expenses, time traveling and extreme amount of time filling out reports….it’s a great way to get free stuff, or discounted stuff, but I never felt it was a way to earn any money. Not to mention the time seeking jobs out! I’m just curious how you managed to make money from it.
Oh, so it’s the shadow shopper one….I never did that because of the fee, so I avoided it. Good to know! Thanks!
