Extraordinary MoneySaving
Get paid to shop
Wed 6th February 2008
If you’re a slave to the shops and eating out then you’ll be green with envy when you learn the story of a Londoner who gets paid to spend money.
This mystery woman mystery shops a mixture of clothing stores, coffee shops, restaurants and even banks to test customer service.
We can’t reveal her identity so she remains unknown to staff.
She made around £500 in fees paid by these stores for her time but she also pocketed around £1,500 worth of free food, drink, clothing and experiences such as hotel stays and cinema outings.
Some of the places she’s been mystery shopping at includes Starbucks, Costa Coffee, Pizza Express and even Harvey Nichols.
