FinanceBuzz Wants to Pay You $1,000 to Judge Pumpkin Pie

Fact: Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Why? Because I LOVE HOLIDAY PIES!!! Yes, you can eat pies whenever, but nothing is more delicious than having a sweet pie after your Thanksgiving lunch or dinner.

Personally, I am a fan of warm apple pie with extra ice cream on top, and I love a good slice of Pumpkin pie with extra whipped cream! My favorite pies are obviously my moms homemade pies, but there’s a few grocery stores that come pretty darn close to my moms delicious homemade pies!

If you love pies as much as I do then I may have the perfect side hustle for you: Chief Pie Correspondent.  FinanceBuzz just dropped the dreamiest side hustle ever: they’re hiring a Chief Pie Correspondent to eat, rate, and review holiday pies from America’s biggest grocery stores.
