Mystery Shopper

Moms can earn good part time money as a mystery shopper.

What is a mystery shopper?

A mystery shopper is someone who goes to a business (a bank, retail store, even the movies!) and pretends to be a normal customer. They complete a transaction (or sometimes just observe certain things about the store and employees), go home and fill out paperwork that tells the mystery shopper company what they observed, and then the mystery shopper company sends them a check!

I was a mystery shopper for years before and after my first child was born. My husband and I got to eat a lot of free meals, got some free merchandise and it was fun too. Some companies don't pay very well for shops- only $10 or so for 30 minutes of work. However, some companies pay $75-$150 for shops. You need to join a lot of company databases in order to find these good ones!
