Probably the most important thing to me is doing shops of places where I would normally buy something anyway. My husband and I go out to dinner once a week, so I do restaurant shops. That way, we are being reimbursed for something we would do anyway. I take shops at a cute costume jewelry store that reimburses $10.00 and pays $8.00. I buy a $10 item on each shop and save it to go in a Christmas or Birthday package for my daughters. Oil change shops and grocery shops are things I would normally buy anyway. In between, I do shops that are actually paid and have no purchase, like insurance or fitness facilities. I know that I will not make a cent on a meal that I would not have normally eaten out or goods that I would not use, but for the stuff I need, it is just great!
