I'm new to this forum site and still pretty much a newbie to mystery shopping, though I've been at it since late January 2009. I was laid off in December 2008, and started looking for ways to make a little money. Fortunately, my wife works, so I continue to search for work, and keep increasing the number of mystery shopping companies and quantity of mystery shops each day/week/month. I'm keeping myself pretty busy. I've got a few other ways to make some money, but that's a topic for another forum.....
