Probably at least 15 years ago, I was huge into mystery shopping. I got several awesome contracts and was doing it pretty close to full-time for a while (It was CRAZY...I never wanted to eat at McDonalds again lol). Then, I had kids, opened a daycare, started my own retail business (a semi-annual children's consignment sale event), and just gradually got out of the MS world. Well...fast forward to 2016: My husband is in the oil industry...which is tanking...and his salary has been cut due to the oil economy. At this point we're just grateful he still has a job and not sure how long it will last. I sold my consignment sale business 2 years ago, so I don't have that income coming in anymore. So, I decided to look back into mystery shopping. How fun to see some of the old companies that I used to work for, and lots of new ones too. I'm grateful to be doing this now because I used to have to fax reports and receipts in (and sometimes even mail). Things have gotten better

. Anyway, I found this board as I was trying to seek out more information on what is out there nowadays. Grateful to be here. Thank you!
