This is to show some of the real benefits to mystery shopping and how it can save you money, make you money and give you some nice treats. I think that mystery shopping is a great way to add a little extra to what you do and the week has shown some of the aspects of mystery shopping so you can see what it is all about.
I said at the start of the week that I would back each day up with a short blog so you can see my progress.
We have reached Saturday!
This took in a visit to a national quality pizza chain restaurant. It was a visit for four people (the kids being off school at the weekend) so I had to stretch the budget a little further today. In fact we lost out by the tune of around £10. You can look at this two ways-
- Either £10 isn't bad to feed a family of four in a quality restaurant
- The surplus that was made on other mystery shops made up for this
I try to look at things with the second way in mind. As long as the cash evens itself out over a month or so then I am happy. I then get to walk away from my mystery shopping experiences with free food and goods while not being out of pocket.
For example I could do the following mystery shops in a week-
A no purchase visit to a jewellers that paid me £10
A restaurant shop that costs me £5 more than the combined fee and reimbursement
A visit to a cafe where I broke even
A mystery shop at a bookmakers where I had a £3 fee
A pub meal visit where I spent £8 more than the fee and reimbursement
So overall I broke even in cash terms, but I got a meal for two in the restaurant, my lunch in the cafe, a free bet in the bookmakers and a pub meal for four. Mystery shopping can open doors for you like this. You just need to know which doors to knock on. My guide to becoming a mystery shopper is available now and will give you all the information you need to make it a success.
