You may recall that I’ve blogged about The National Consumer Panel before – well I just heard that they are looking for new members again! If they accept you, they will provide you with a hand-held scanner. Every time you or members of your household shop, you’ll use the scanner to scan the barcodes on all of your purchases.Then, once a week, you’ll send in your purchase information. It’s as easy as that! In exchange for your time, you’ll receive points that you can redeem for cash and prizes!
I was a member of the program for a while and enjoyed it. My free time is largely spent blogging now and so I returned the scanner to give someone else a chance to participate. It is an easy program but it does take some time to scan the items. Kids have a blast playing cashier though and this is a fun “job” for them to do!
The National Consumer Panel is looking for people in certain areas of the country and they will tell you if it’s your area after you provide them some basic information. It’s worth a shot to see if they are looking for people in your area!

I started Nicole's Nickels in February 2009 to bring all of the great deals I was finding to my friends and family and then it took off! Since then I've continued my full-time day job as an attorney while blogging in the evenings and on weekends. Nicole's Nickels has evolved into a site that lets you know about great new products and services! I help my clients during the days at the non-profit I work for and then my Nicole's Nickels readers learn about the best new products for their families! I live in south/central Florida and have 2 cute dogs (see their picture under "mascots") and an amazing husband who has a spunky 6 year old we get to spend a lot of time with. I hope you'll take the time to

I belong to only a few survey panels- the reason is, I only have access to a computer for a few hours every morning- so I don’t have much spare time.
So far the only one I’ve found the “seems” worth my time is My Points. I earn about $50 a year just clicking emails. The surveys all take too long for what you get.
