Grocery store pricing survey/mystery shopping

[cdnbabybubba]

I was emailed by NSS and chosen to do a mystery shopping trip to a grocery store close to me and record A LOT of prices on items. Anywho I am suppose to be undercover but not sure how I am going to do this without being spotted writing down prices. Any tips?

By the way this job pays $100 US plus $10 US if you complete is all properly. So I definitely want to make sure I do it all right.

why not use your grocery list to write down the prices? write down everything you need to price in a notepad like a shopping list and write down the prices as you go along.

i would go first thing in the morning, there probably wont be alot of staff there yet and the ones that are there would be busy opening and setting stuff up (im guessing). also try to just bring a long thin piece of paper (like those magnetic note pads that stick to the fridge) cause alot of peoples grocery lists look like that and you could just be checking stuff off your list . also i would definitly combine this with your regular grocery shopping so you buy lots of stuff so you dont leave empty handed.
btw who is nss and and how can i get in on this???

That is a great idea Rose...I have my pen and list with me while I shop, so no one would suspect anything out of the ordinary.

Great idea!!

NSS is National Shopping Service (they are the sister company to service intelligence). So that's how they got my name and emailed me.

If anyone is interested I can forward the email that they sent to me so you can see the exact stores they are looking to fill.

I also searched this company on the internet and apparently they are very popular in the states.

I just looked at the spreadsheet again and looks like the jobs for this jobs are only in Ontario and Quebec.
