Mystery Shopping to supplement the budget


Dining out wouldn't regularly be in the budget, but extra treats can be had by mystery shopping.

I take photos and report on my service in exchange for an occasional meal for free - and sometimes get paid for it. This time around, I had a coupon for the meal and received a flat rate reimbursement, earning $4.45 for this meal. (The extra money is going to debt repayments rather than my food budget.)  I've also done other restaurants, fast food, and even stores like Whole Foods.

If you're interested in mystery shopping, a good place to start for reputable companies is MSPA member companies. Go through a reputable company and be cautious of scams.
