Chocolates and Dishwasher Tablets

I know it's normally chocolates and roses, but this strange combination is down to my hard work. As I've previously mentioned, to get a little bit of extra money into our coffers I do online surveys. With one of the sites, Toluna, I completed a survey on dishwasher tablets and was asked if I'd like to sample some and report back. Did I say no? Of course, not!!! The following day I did a survey about chocolate. At the end I was asked if I'd sample some choccies! I won't eat them as they contain dairy but Adam, my partner, doesn't mind a bit from time to time so I, of course, said 'yes'. This morning the doorbell rang and our lovely post lady was waiting with two parcels in her arms. One was a large pack of dishwasher tablets which will keep me going for months and, in the other, there was a small pack of about half a dozen chocolates (Cadbury's Roses) and a huge tin of Nestle Quality Street. Adam's going to sample the Roses and give me feedback but I've set the Quality Street aside as part of my Christmas present for my sister and her family. It's saved me around £5 and I know my sister loves them. An excellent day all round!!!

Oh I have never been asked to sample chocolates, yum! The last thing I was required to sample was paper towels. I will receive a $5.00 voucher for amazon at the completion of the study.

I did a week long diary on kids' TV and got paid £40 for it but that's very rare. People think it's not worth doing surveys but I can easily make £100 a month and usually make more. With all the freebies I get to try that really ramps it up.

@olliesmum It can be worth it for sure, but it also depends on your demographics. I do not often get a lot of the surveys where I can test products out.

@ScribbledAdNauseum That's a shame. I love trying out new things.

They're definitely one of the best for trial products.

I often get asked to test dishwasher tablets, cat food, dog treats and breakfast cereals but this is the first time I got to test chocolates ... well ADAM got to test them!!! I very rarely get offered anything vegan but I keep hoping. Haven't got a dog but have two neighbours that do so I alternate with the treats.
