If you are in Houston, are a MOM, and want to make some extra money, there are some more marketing research opportunities for you to consider.

If you are NOT in Houston, I am trying to find some more contacts in other cities to help you guys out as well! So hang in there I am working on it!

Because I am still out of town, please email Mary at mbates@mrshouston.com and ask for a survey to fill out if you are interested and want to be considered.

Looking for moms ages 25-44, 2 Part session. Pays $300. June 20th and Either June 27^th or 28^th.

In the first part  we would like for you to keep an electronic journal via your computer and/or mobile phone or tablet about certain things you do throughout the day, such as shop, prepare meals or go online. We ask that you log on at various times of the day when you are engaging in these activities to tell us about it. One log in might be 10 minutes, the next could be 20 minutes, etc. depending what you’re doing and what you’re telling us about. We expect you to spend a total of about 1 hour throughout the day, but there is no “set log in time” on these days. The journal days will be Friday-Monday (June 15-18).  During this time, you will type responses, upload pictures/videos, etc.   On Wednesday, June 20 we ask that you participate in an online group bulletin board discussion. You will log on for about 45 minutes between 1-5 EST to participate. We ask that you log in 1 last time after 7pm EST that day for about 5-10 minutes to see if there are any other questions.

The moderator will prompt you and other participants by asking thought provoking and fun questions about the topic throughout your journaling.  All of your input will be anonymous so you can speak as freely and honestly.

The second part would take place on either June 27^th or June 28^th. This phase will take place in your home and will last approximately 2 hours. Our researchers will come to your home and talk to you about food products. Our researcher will ask to see your Kitchen and pantry, and any other places that you may keep food products.  Following the first phase, we will observe and ask you to please prepare a meal and serve it to your family, either during breakfast or dinner (depending on interview time). Or following the in-home interview, we will follow you to your local drug/mass/grocery store where you typically shop for food products. This portion of the interview should only last approximately 1 hour. Altogether, the total interview will last approximately 3 hours  whether we observe you cooking or go to the grocery store with you. You will be paid the $300.00 at the end of the in home interview.

If you have a Lowes near you, you might want to see if they have the Method brand laundry supplies  on sale at your store.

I told you earlier about a sale at Lowes where you can order Method Soap.  Well this is what happened to Samantha at hers when she went to pick them up:

Ok so Lowes lost 2 of my 3 orders I was so upset :'( but the manager was AWESOME!! She felt so bad about it that she gave me Era at the same price as the ones I ordered online 10 @ $1.40 ea and 7 @ $1.22 ea.

Then she gave me the hang tags with the prices on them said take these to the Lowes down the street and they will give them to you @ this price!! 

I get to the other Lowes store and they have a bunch of the Methods marked at $3.56ish…. I talked to the manger and told her about the other Lowes and she said ok you can have them for $1.00 ea .

Total OOP for 47 bottles of soap = $56.42 for 1,601 loads of laundry!!!!!  Enough for us, my parents and sister’s family for a long time!
