I’m really glad you have a little waggon that you can fold up those things are great👍🏻👏🏻💯

Only the orders with a timer will affect your AR but don’t take crap orders . and yes, you can make good $ with spark but you have to learn the strategies. Turn your app at the 20 mark of each hour for curbside pickups. At the beginning of each hour for shop and deliver orders. If I’m on an order I will turn off spark now till the 20 mark of next hour . Take your time to check orders so you don’t get stuck with 6 cases of water lol 😂.. love u mama . Thanks for your videos

When you say the 20 mark are you saying like turn it off and then on again at say 1:20, 2:20, etc… now do you know if and how to get more than 1 order at a time? Also, how do you do it off, do you sign out or swipe it off

It's not the same in all areas though. I get good offers at all different times, not just a certain time like 20 after the hr. It's best to just leave it on, really. Because acceptance rate means nothing, especially if all your other metrics are good. My AR is 2%, 97% on time, 98% completion, 4.9 stars, and I get great offers all the time still.

You are very pleasant and funny. I am a senior who is considering having one of those services shop for me and deliver the groceries. It surely would save wear and tear on my 75 year old body. But I am picky and afraid that they won't get good produce. If I could be guaranteed a caring person like you here in Colorado Springs, I could give it the green light. Maybe I should just trust that there are more good people in the world than not!

You can always return what you receive that are in bad condition. I do. And usually they will credit me back for the item. But then I either have to reorder it or go get it myself.😊

You’re nuts 😂 and I love it!

Meaty Mama is the type of girl that goes the distance

Once you know your stores, you can whip through there faster. You also don't have to go in the order of what's in the app. I don't take any offers lower that 20.00. Remember that you made an extra 5.00 on top of that base pay, so if you take anything low, keep that in mind. Smaller orders should not take 45 minutes to shop and get to your car. You get faster as you keep doing it. I was also going to say that I love shopping in the hot months because I can get into the air.

OMG! My aunt and I JUST had this exact same conversation: WHY are coffee filters not next to the coffee at WalMart????? "Because I'm too hot and about to turn off also." HAHAHAHAHA :D "WalMart in general. Who likes it?" NO ONE! I also hate it!

Once Mama leans in to us and says, "Listen...", you had better listen up! 😂 Also, it's so awesome that someone recognised you, considering how small your channel currently is! Bet that made your day. 😊

Maybe it’s just an “adjustment period” for you, with Spark. Love that music you had on. Gotta say, I would want you to shop for me. You always make the effort to pick the best requested product for that customer.

I do Spark - almost 10 months now. I find it easier to shop non-food items then move to the food side to finish shop. I’m usually in and out in no time. The app will allow you to jump around on the list. I do more Spark over DD UE GH Shipt. I live around 3 Walmart stores. Once you find your groove you will find it a great app to earn on. Hope this helps.

I have spark and still haven't tried it because I really don't like Walmart. I do UE and they actually send Walmart pickup orders. It usually takes for ever to get loaded up and you don't know exactly how much you're getting and pay isn't good so I don't accept Walmart orders anymore. You had me laughing so hard 😂😂😂😂. Thank you you're awesome 🎉

Doing Spark is great if you can get a doordash or ubereats in between all the waiting. Spark shopping used to pay well. I loved it! You can go in for 1 item it's a minimum payout of $19.95 or more. Now they want you to shop for 50 items for the same payout. It's not worth it unless you like the exercise.

You are amazing! You work so hard. I wish you all the best.

You got this don’t give up!

Just remember AR does not matter on Spark. If you don't like the order just don't take it. Wait for a good order where the customer is actually tipping good.

You do your job well! I would definitely want you to shop for me.. :0)

I couldn’t help but laugh when you were talking up trying the shopping order just to have no carts available when you walked in. You were trying so hard to be positive about it! 😂 I’m glad you found one quickly.

Love your videos!!

I’m glad to see you have a foldable wagon. I’m considering trying this and I’ll def get a wagon! This was fun to watch…your videos are addictive and you’re so funny!,😆

i like your humor

I agree about Spark! You made so much money with the food deliveries. You worked so hard today!! Enjoy your channel.

Omgeee I am just cracking up watching this because it’s like watching myself especially with my day yesterday and the incessant re-offerings from spark that you decline over and over again and then when you ignore them, your screen fills up with all these crappy orders😂😂😂 I think I might tune in and watch you a bit more. You’re pretty funny. From one gig mama to the next, I get it

Not going to even try Spark! I absolutely enjoy your videos! I've watched a few other "dasher" videos, but I love your honesty!

Wow, you are so funny. Love how honest you are with everything you do. Go Meaty Mama...❤

My son does spark as his second job, he use to do door dash and Uber eats, he likes spark and turns very little down, he prefers to shop in Walmart , he says he can get in and out rather than wait for them to bring it out. His acceptance rate is 100 %. He’s not that young, he’s 45 lol I’m 70. So maybe you just need more time to test it out? Love your channel 😊

I really like your content and genuine personality. Good luck figuring out Spark. I do Lyft. When I tried Doordash there weren't any orders compared to how long I wait for a Lyft ride, but maybe I should give it another go. I find you very relaxing to listen to, and funny. Best wishes.

I hate shopping at Walmart too!!! I certainly am not going to shop for someone else, when I don't shop for my self. I love the curbside pickup. I oder online go pick it up and I never have to go inside Walmart or try to find a parking spot. Love your channel and keep up the good work!!

Love watching your content. Peter and Mom in the villages, Florida❤

Like you have said in the past, it is great having an additional app to use in the down/slow times on the apps you prefer. I would say you have narrowed down your preference of orders to the curbside ones. My suggestion would be to keep an eye on the incentives and if there are "good ones" try to fulfill the requirements for that extra money. It can add up surprisingly fast! Also, around holidays seem to be better times for more and better orders! The bottom line is to do WHATEVER works for you!💖 Best of luck to you my friend!😁

I’ve only been inside a Walmart a couple of times with someone else who was shopping. It was like shopping in a huge airplane hangar - not at all appealing. I much prefer Target. I’m thrilled for you that your channel is growing so fast!

I used to reject offers on spark but I stopped because I discovered "rejected" means nothing. lol I'm glad you gave shopping a try. You will get faster at shopping. I was terrible on the time when I first started. I also don't shop in the order the app tells you to (especially if there are non food items or if there are perishables). I shop in my own way. Idk if that speeds it up or slows it down. lol I have not accepted a return yet. I've only had one offer for that and didn't take it.....I thought you had to go in. My biggest fear is not spiders or water or even earthquakes. It's not having a label to scan at the drop off. Nice. Now I know. Thanks for the video Mama! And I get it, shopping at wally world sucks. I'm proud of you for trying!

Yes, I've tried it. Didn't notice much of a difference, though.

You will find your groove doing walmart spark. Try to maybe doing the food delivery apps doing their peak times and do spark doing those none peak hours. I know in a lot of zones sunday mornings are good for doing spark. For me I do a lot of gig apps, so I find doing spark, shipt, roadie & catering works out really well. I do very little food delivery apps these days because those keep me really busy.

I do Spark about an hour north of Tampa, and I pretty much stopped doing food delivery and only do spark. I preferred to do curbside pick up but will do an occasional shop if it’s worth it specially in this heat, better to be inside than out. lol I only do it part time though occasionally on the weekends.

Yes acceptance rate doesn't matter I have been at 2% for a year and still get plenty of offers. Rejecting offers is wasted effort they keep coming back till someone takes them.

Just letting some of the Walmart plus customers know Walmart makes it very easy to return items through your delivery driver but once you get so many returns, Walmart will cancel your Walmart Plus Membership and you will not get a refund and since your membership is associated with your address and your credit card number you cannot make another Walmart Plus account, so if you think you're going to be returning something you better not do it on your Walmart Plus account....just giving everyone a heads up. It happened to me, and you can't even do curbside pickup either!!

Everyone has there preferences to which app that they use, ya know,you did a great job though 🎉😊👍💪

You do a great job but it sounds exhausting AF lol

Once you get used to shopping and using the app it’s the easiest shopping app I have. It gives you the isle, sec and mod and I can go right to the objects. If you slide down you get a map and it will show you the area your item is in. It’s helpful for those isles in odd spots.

❤ Hi Mama l think that you are doing an excellent job and your choosing the best spark jobs so be proud of you it would be compassionate for people to tip you a thank you for your service *, Even when a person doesn't have alot a few dollars shows that they value a human for a service, yesterday l had an appointment to go to so the transportation l was supposed to use was not to work the timing and route so l had to take a taxi and then walk bus to return home later) so l paid a lot for the ride and l only had 3 dollars for a tip l felt it was something better than not having anything else to show him my appreciation, why wouldn't spark customers want to tip something? 🙏❤️💪 Prayers for People to give and say thank you

Not true, the app tells you what aisle what section what shelf example A17 5 section 22 and the shelves in Walmart are all labeled in numbers. I never paid attention until I started doing spark. I never wait online spark has their own lines walk up scan phone and bag items

🤗

12:05 if you look at the map when it’s giving you the mileage, it’s giving you a direct line that naturally you cannot drive on. You have a lot more turns and red lights, and all that to take into consideration.

In my opinion, there should be a weight limit on the types of things you are expected to deliver. Such as cases of water, 40-80 lbs. of dog food or TV's. That seems a little ridiculous!?!

I think you should do what you enjoy. As a gig worker myself, I can feel your pain. I won’t step foot in Walmart.

You're just not used to spark yet. Set a time to go out and be there for the round Robin. Once you do that and get an order it's just repeating. Once you're done with the order it will be time to go back to Walmart for the next round Robin. Don't take returns because they can't tip. Shopping orders I wouldn't take unless it's $20. The shopping offers start at $11 with no tip

I'm new subscriber & been binge watching. In one video you asked what type videos we'd like to see. I'd like to see more budgeting videos bc you're already an inspiration to those struggling & if you can show how you're managing the budget & debt payoff it will help others. I also watch Beautifullymeandyou on KZread who does budgeting videos. She also has videos that maybe can help you also showing how she's paid off a LOT of debt & shows how to track it, etc. and how to save ahead for recurring expenses by saving small amounts monthly that way you're not caught off guard.

Also have you tried Instacart? They may be good.

That’s what I said in a comment in another video. If it says it will take an hour, plan for 2. Spark is not as great as everyone says it is but it does pay off with incentives and sometimes I just want to have a guaranteed earning for the time I’m out there so it may not be as much but it sure beats waiting around on doordash when it slow

It’s gotta be hard to go from DD to shopping a full grocery order. I’ve done Shipt for 7 years and it’s very physical job. Now I’m very selective about what orders I accept. I don’t go large orders or heavy items. Also I won’t shop in certain zip codes. I try to stick with neighborhoods that tip consistently.

Wagon comes in handy

I do spark sometimes

I did a lot spark a yr then got deactivated but it went crap anyways the last few months on it!!! I don't miss spark it was so much tip bait and tons 30 packs water in 3rd floor apartments.I also got accused from Walmart manager of stealing and I had call cooperate about false accusation. The district manager called and confirmed I didn't steal but so much dang drama. I now do my other apps and rides and much happier.

Another thing with Spark. I had a "Shipping" order coming from Walmart and got a email saying it would not be here till Saturday, then later that day a lady in her personal car delivered my order. I asked her if she drives for Spark and she said yes...sooo sometimes Walmart has Spark drivers deliver "shipping" orders...with shipping there is no way to tip and it does not ask if you wanna tip, she said her daughter has had the same thing happen when she does a shipping order...it ends up getting delivered by a Spark driver instead, I do think Walmart compensates a little better with these since they are aware there is no tip attached. Thankfully I had a few dollars in cash that day and gave the lady some money.

Yes. Those are the large orders that have multiple stops with like 1 or 2 items per stop.

Shopping- the sections are labeled on the upper left on shelf even in the freezers

Turn on the defrost with the air on and it should help the go pro to not over heat

I think you are just new at this lol. You should have all of your apps on and just take what you like as it appears. Don’t worry about being near a Walmart at a certain time. My first zone had a lot of stores that were FAR apart (like a 45 minute drive) and I would still get offers from those. But as I said before my zone now is very small. If it’s slow on food delivery, you may find yourself looking for a Spark order. I wouldn’t revolve my schedule around it though. I actually prefer shopping orders because curbside has become a pain at my store. Not all shopping orders are big ones. Sometimes you’ll get super easy ones. Also, make sure you check the items when it says 40-50 pounds. I had one today but there was nothing heavy on the order. At one time, the frozen pot pies were labeled as bulky ….so it’s not always entirely accurate.

A collapsible, foldable trolley or wagon may be worthwhile.

I don't know if her area is one of their hot spots, but they're all over the country.

I do shops all the time and you will get faster. I finish shopping in almost half the time. It's knowing where everything is and letting them know as your going into the self check you have a spark so they can come immediatly. Our walmart gave spark drivers our own checkouts.

We are lacking shoppers for pickup in my area.

You should definitely multi app and just take the round robin orders to start and only if your in the area.

Regarding curbside orders, Monday Walmart workers brought me a large 3 delivery order with no labels on 3 different totes, nor labels on loose bulk items One worker was leaving labels on totes while loading bags and loose items into the back of my SUV, many items that belonged with another order If I didn't check they would have had me load the wrong items into the wrong locations, and short customers part of their orders, while giving others some of their items Many items that should have been bagged were unbagged, chemicals and detergents were mixed with food, raw meat wasn't bagged in plastic, produce was bagged with meat, paper bags were ripped, paper bags were overloaded etc, which is quite common I'm usually busy double checking orders, and loading the mid, and front seats, so I often have to reorganize the rear of my vehicles to check for damage, bagging issues and possible damage during transport Sure enough there were 2 squished loaves of bread, one leaking bottle in a 35 pack of water, and 3 watermelons that would have been rolling around in the back if I didn't check during my last curbside pickup order Oddly enough they bagged shampoo in plastic bags, but not dripping raw meat and dripping rotisserie chickens Many new Spark drivers take off with no labels on any bags, nor loose bulk items of some customer orders Other times there's only one label on small orders, and that label is ripped, or won't scan after peeling it, and placing it on a bag, or loose bulk item

You don't have to shop in the order it tells you. You can press the back arrow and choose what item to start with. Need to save cold stuff until last. This is very important on big orders as they will cancel if you don't deliver with a certain time after scanning the first cold item.

Can you put a link for your cold bags. I need new and those look nice.
