A Little Extra

Well, as my first post I am going to contribute to our own economic stimulus package - nothing fancy but here goes. Have a little extra time? Need a little extra something? A friend of mine suggested joining National Shopping Service. It is a mystery shopping service that you can pick your own 'engagements'. It generally takes 15 to 60 minutes - a pizza takes 20, grocery stores take 60 - and you come away with a pizza that is reimbursed and/or a small paycheck. Nothing so big as to make this full time but I have gotten free parking downtown for an 1 hour and $15 - I walked the 4 blocks to my bank and strolled around the park. I am also scheduled to go to a bakery next month and buy bread and I get the bread and $5. You get to set your mileage limit and what you are interested in. All in all it is a nice way to get out there and do our part! Sign up at: www.nationalshoppingservice.com
