So I began working a new job in Dec that i found on craigslist under part time Im doing Demos of food and other products in supermarkets. The pay is decent varies by store but the lowest is 12.00 an hour for a 6 hour day 10-4 they provide the uniform all I have to bring is myself and a smile I get to keep the leftover product I have done cottenelle wipes diapers milk etc. You pick the days you work usually Friday Sat sunday but I have gotten alot of week days also It is easy work If you are looking for something to do check out craigslist may have something similar in your area I am averaging 78.00 per demo

Sounds great! I know a woman who does those, and she bought one of those mats that you can stand on to help leg fatigue, because typically, you are standing on a hard cold floor the whole six hours.

Congrats! I love those little samples, btw. I had some bbq chicken tenders at Sam's today!

I do demo's also. Have been doing them for about a year now.
I like doing them.
I am waiting to do my taxes to see if it is really worth my time since I will have to pay income tax and probably S.S. on the earnings. I only get $9 at one store and $10 at the other so after taxes and SS it may not be worth it to me.
I am saving all of the money I have made to go to Hawaii. So I hope it turns out to be worth it so I can make my $5000 budget I need to get to Hawaii with out touching the savings account.

I did demo's for about 5 years. It was alot of fun but make sure you save for taxes.

My next door neighbor used to do them. She always gave me her leftovers. It was so nice of her. It was a great part-time job for her.

Glad you found something.

The ads for these types of jobs are listed on indeed.com, too.

I did this but only for Tombstone Pizza when it was new in the market. It was over 27 years and I enjoyed it. I was paid $6 an hour which was great back then. Glad you found something you enjoy.

Putting aside the tax money so I dont get surprised later on. It is almost immpossible to find something part time at my age noone is hiring here I am trying to make some supplemental income to make up for what we lost when dh lost ot and now in winter his hours get cut so it is fine for now standing can be hard but I worked at Walmart and am used to the standing and the strain. If I get to do a couple of demos per week I can make an extra 600.00 or more a month and that goes a long way Thanks for all the good wishes
