For your review, you’ll also be asked to document it by writing product reviews and taking photographs. Then, based on your findings, FinanceBuzz will compile that information and write an article.

If you’re still interested, you’ll need to apply before the deadline -- 11:59 p.m. ET on Sept. 11.

FinanceBuzz will announce the chosen candidate by Sept. 18 over email. The Buc-ee’s Bud-ee will then have two weeks to complete their taste test duties.
