Think again.
Just keep reading. Trust me. It'll rock your world. I have two kids- 9 & 6- both girls- I work and go to school- money is always tight.....and I decided I wanted to start canning again...but canning supplies are expensive.
I take surveys online- I have several sites I work through (those will be at the end) but I wanted to give everyone a break down of what I bought and what I actually paid for my canning supplies (please keep in mind that I have Amazon Prime and all my cash outs from my surveys were in Amazon Gift Cards.
Here we go!
First off- my Water Bath
Here is the one I bought:
Item(s) Subtotal: | $19.97 |
Shipping & Handling: | $0.00 |
----- | |
Total before tax: | $19.97 |
Sales Tax: | $1.65 |
Gift Card Amount: | -$18.12 |
----- | |
Total for This Shipment: | $3.50 |
Total paid by Gift Card: | -$18.12 |
----- |
Next I bought my Stock Pot:
Item(s) Subtotal: | $14.97 |
Shipping & Handling: | $0.00 |
----- | |
Total before tax: | $14.97 |
Estimated tax to be collected: | $1.24 |
Gift Card Amount: | -$16.00 |
----- | |
Grand Total: | $0.21 |
So there you have it.....$0.21.....so for $3.71 I got the two main things I need to start canning. The next purchase I made was for a food processor.
Here is the one I got:
Item(s) Subtotal: | $28.00 |
Shipping & Handling: | $0.00 |
----- | |
Total before tax: | $28.00 |
Estimated tax to be collected: | $2.31 |
Gift Card Amount: | -$18.86 |
----- | |
Grand Total: | $11.45 |
This one is a bit different, even though $11.45 is a great price, I had $9 in paypal cash from a different survey company (that doesn't offer Amazon Gift Cards) so the actual end price on this was $2.45.
So the math:
Retail: 68.14
Gift Cards: 52.98
Other Survey Cash: 9.00
Total Out of Pocket: $6.16
But yeah, Online Surveys TOTALLY aren't worth it.

ALL of these sites offer pay outs to places such as Amazon, Paypal, and MANY MANY more.
But like you said....
Waste of time right?
