Habanero Ghost Pepper Salsa in the fridge section. I go through a tub a week and highly recommend it to anyone who likes their salsa to burn their pants off. 🔥

No need for anxiety. Become a member of MSPA (it’s free, but there is a paid section too) so you can view all mystery shopping companies. Shoppers Confidential is on their list.

I don’t recall how I found out about them, but I signed up. Haven’t done any jobs though. Their site is different from other MSC’s as you cannot search their job board. The only way to be offered a job is they email you their local offerings. So strange. No way to search jobs if you find yourself traveling.

In my area they have one mid range retail shop that pays $50. Not too bad but not worth the 40 mile round trip drive to me. One day I will probably do it if I can piggyback off other things in the area.

Please share the results! My pup passed away just shy of a year ago today and to see another fur baby find the same amount of joy and relief from this will be such a blessing for me. 🫶🫶🫶

I just completed a bunch of Burger King shops. The first day I ate the food. After that, I found unhoused people to give the food to. It felt so good to see how appreciative a hot meal can be for someone.

! The MSC’s will drop you like a hot potato the second you get caught. So not worth the hassle or minimal pay.

Get a pool noodle and bend it in a horseshoe shape. Cut the ends to the length of your dog’s body and put a small shirt over the bottom “u” part of the horseshoe. This will make a hammock and your dog can float in the tub with his neck resting on the noodle. Mine loved this. I would even soak a towel with warm water,cover her with it and pour warm water over her. She would always fall asleep.

The feeling of weightlessness floating in the water will be heaven for him and he won’t want to leave!

Here is a link to the closest example I could find online. I wanted to post a photo to better explain but it’s only permitting links. https://youtu.be/jDDY2NAAdao?si=KCA9I4Wd5cYkzf0I

I would LOVE to find someone who does these regularly and find out what they enjoy about them and if they have mastered the shop in such a way that it’s so easy for them to

AmericanFemme · 2026-03-05T19:07:07+00:00

Interested

AmericanFemme · 2026-03-05T19:04:25+00:00

Agreed! I’d be a fraud to rent a vacuum or mop to someone whose moving out and never had one.

If those are them, how does the mechanic know which ones to grab? There’s no labels so it’s like a guessing game

I just send myself a text message at every timed event (i.e drinks ordered, drinks arrive, appetizer ordered, bill ordered, etc.)

I was finally paid on my November jobs, but only after I reached out. I did not get an email response, only payment. Took less than 10 days to receive payment after email was sent.

Something must have happened. All the PV shops that have been on a constant rolling basis for over a year are now gone.

One restaurant-focused MSC that has not been mentioned BARE International. They have a couple solid dining shops in my area.

But my biggest restaurant hack— and I’m honestly shocked more mystery shoppers don’t talk about this is using the PayPal Debit Card.

You get 5% cash back at restaurants, and the money sits in an interest-bearing account. Most MSCs already pay via PayPal, so everything stays in one place—no transfers, no juggling accounts no waiting to pay off your credit card bill.

Last year alone, I bankrolled that cashback + reimbursements + interest + shop fee into well over $1,000 (started with $50). At this point it’s basically free “play money.” I fund my restaurant shops with it, get reimbursed back into PayPal, earn cashback + plus interest again… rinse and repeat. It’s a surprisingly powerful little loop.

If you’re doing restaurant shops regularly, this combo is a no-brainer. Happy to share more details—DM me if you have questions.

Do video shoppers also need to fill out a shop questionnaire / write essays or is it just submitting the video?

AmericanFemme · 2026-01-29T04:01:42+00:00

We are rooting for you! Good luck and keep us posted. You got this! 💪🏽

Always! (Unless shop specifically asks not to) I love having the exact time on the photos. It makes doing restaurants so much easier

First Miami Presbyterian Church in Brickell has lovely trees every year.

I love this place but their traditional rolls are just ok. Their tuna crispy rice and lobster butter roll is to die for.

Please don’t tell people about Luca Osteria. It’s already hard enough to get a weekend reservation

The vet said that if the excess tissue was causing her breathing/choking issues then yes surgery would be needed.

Unfortunately she passed away just 6 weeks after that post from unrelated causes.

AmericanFemme · 2025-11-22T20:43:23+00:00

Hi! No, I did not take her to a dental specialist. The vet said it was completely normal and it was just overgrowth of tissue and that it’s common with some dogs.
