Mystery Shopping Hints & Tips: What to Do with the Free Products?

When you do regular Mystery Shopping assignments you tend to start accumulating products that you have purchased and been reimbursed for as part of the evaluation of a retail store. So what do you do with all the free products?

Well, you could eat, drink, wear or give them away, but you might also consider whether you can on sell them to someone who might be interested.

I have been doing assignments for liquor stores assessing their staff's ability to be able to recommend and sell various wines. The payment for the assignment is between $10-15 and you get to spend $15-25 on a bottle which you get to keep.

Rather than just drink the wine, I guess that's an option, but I have been finding friends, family etc that like wine and on selling them for half price. They get a bargain and I get between $7 and $14 extra for the assignment. The assignment takes you about 20 minutes, so you can really up your hourly rate return with this extra money.
