Advantages: Good for a little extra cash

Disadvantages: Very long questionaires

You're never going to get rich with Grass Roots, just as you're never going to get rich with Dooyoo. However, it can be a way of earning yourself a nice little extra pocket-money now and then when cash is tight.

To view mystery shopping assignments, you log into their website and see what's available in your area. You can add up to five areas - handy for me as I can work both around my house and my mum's house.

Mystery shopping usually involves going in, buying something, then filling in a questionaire. Questionaires can be quite long - I sometimes have details remembering all names and details without taking notes where the staff can see me! You will be refunded for anything you have to buy, but you do need a scanner or camera to get them a copy of the receipt for this. Grassroots seems to mainly do mystery shopping for Tesco, Asda, Barclays and HMV (although it's possible that that's just that they're the only companies using them in my area).

Payment is generally around £10 (not including cost of shopping) so as I said, no-one is going to get rich from this. Payment is straight into your bank account - this does mean giving them your bank details but I've had no problems with this in the last couple of years so I think its safe.

Summary: Handy to bring extra pennies in
