I was reading in a recent issue of Smart Money magazine that mystery
shopping is now a $600 million dollar business.  That is how much
restaurants, clothing stores, banks and practically all companies
pay people to secretly visit their establishment and report back on
their experience.

I have done mystery shopping for over 10 years making up to $200 per
visit (the highest price shop was for visiting a model home and
rating the sales person).  Some people make as much as $60,000 a
year as mystery shoppers.

Here is a great resource if you are interested in learning more:

Big Basket of Little Calories
by Anonymous
http://theromantic.com/

My husband had started watching what he ate to drop a few pounds.
But which he really hates to do is give up his snacking.  So I had a
big basket of low cal, low fat snacks delivered to his desk.

It had his Diet Pepsi in it, Snackwell choclate candy bars, a low fat trail
mix, microwave lite popcorn, pretzels, etc.  Something to fulfill
every craving.  I even attached little notes to each item.  Like on
the popcorn “you put the pop into our love life”.  He loved it.
He still felt like he could snack and didn’t need to use the works
vending machine if he got hungry.  He really enjoyed rereading the
little notes when he grabbed a diet snack.  He kept the basket under
he desk tell it was empty , which took along time.  I had someone he
works with put it on his desk so I didn’t pay delivery fees.
I made the basket myself so It only had stuff I knew he would like and of
course gave it the personal touch.
