I am very aware of the electricity prices this year. They wet up over the winter. So I am have a goal for the summer. I am going to try and make enough money mystery shopping to cover all the electricity. I don't know about you but that is a lot of money for us. About $8 a day.
Now. I started mystery shopping last spring and did it for a few months. But I stopped. I got frustrated that I had to spend money to make money. (don't we all know that's true) But I realized that I can do some that I already spend money on and then re coop that plus the shopper fee. Like eating pizza. Yumm! We normally get a local pizza places pizza. But I see lots of shops for Pappa Johns. I like them and their fattening garlic butter sauce. But you can only get 1 pizza and it has to be one topping no ex cheese. First we don't need extra cheese and one pizza should be plenty. I could just make a salad to go with. So for that shop I get reimbursed plus my $5 shopper fee. For something I was going to do anyway!
Next I found shops that were practically nothing out of pocket. Like swimming pool place shops. You need to pretend that you have a problem with your pool. (they give you a list of things to say if you don't really or don't have a pool). First make a phone call to the store and then visit the store. You answer questions about how the place looked. How the employee looked and interacted with you. Then you need to by something for up to $1 (clearance toy or something at the counter). And you are done. You get your $1 back and a $8 shopper fee! Whooo that's my $8 for the day for my electricity.
If you want a invite to the one I use the most email me and I will send you one :D

I went to pick up my co-op produce basket. This week they had a new location that was really close to me. So that means a new buyer for the location. So I was looking forward to finding out what she was going to be buying. Ok. here is what I got for $15..
1 huge bag of salad.(more then enought for a weeks worth)
2-cucumbers
4- plumbs
4- oranges
6- GS apples
4- head of broccoli
6- bananas, still green :)
1- cantalope
10lb bag of potatoes
1lb strawberries
head of callifower
pint of cherry tomatoes
I also opted for the asian pack (7.00)
ginger root
4 head garlic
1 boc choy
1 asian type cabbage head
thing of mushrooms
bunch of leeks
Then I got a case of GS apples 40lbs for $12.00 . We are going to make some apple pie filling and can it for later.
But the score was being the last one to come and pick it up. The had leftovers. I got a whole case of broccoli, 4 more cucumbers, another bag of potatoes and some oranges. After spending 2 hours cutting and blanching the broccoli I now have 6 huge bags of frozen broccoli!
Well who knew I post 3 times on one day. Just thought I would put down the quick stop of the day. The Sara Lee factory (who knew they also made bread for Kroger:D). They had a bunch of bagels marked down to .50c. They had the little pies too for .25c but at 430 calories each I passed even though they looked so good. Anyway here is the break down.
2- SL bagels, plain = $1.00
1- SL Delightful whole wheat= $.99
1- SL white classic sandwich bread, white for the kids= $.99
Total: $ 2.98+ tax
I want to say that there are a lot of choices for bread and it is all baked fresh everyday. They have the expensive kinds, shorter, fatter loves that are $3-4 each. They are also $.99ea too. But since we are trying to eat more healthy, AKA low cal. I went for the delightful. I left out one of the bagels and put one in the freezer for another day.
I am posting a lot today. I guess that is because I am not feeling so bad and I feel that I neglected this blog for a while. So here comes some freebies I noticed....
Target
Free apples (if you are by a super target). They are onsale for .99c/lb and get a coupon for 1.00/1+ lb of apples. Like to HCW coupon generator ( you can also get the Bliss and Chex mix. But I dont have luck getting the cahiers to adjust down. So YMMV. See JANE4girls post.)
Snack Size Quaker Bites (found by register) $1 -$1 Target Q (see generator) = FREE
Vitamin Water- you can find this at most stores for $1 and the .50/1Q would make them free when doubled
Basha's
Suddenly Salad $1: Printable .40/1 @ BTFE.COM AND Coupons.com AND Bettycrocker.com
Daisy Sour Cream $1: use .50/1 (5-31-09) SS1-4/5
Ok, here it is. There are a few good coupons coming out this weekend that I am going to stock up on. Here is my list.....(if you are going to have extras of these. Please let me know)
