    I am, if that family can afford to spend £10,000 on food I really don't think that they need the downshift challenge.
    Maybe Martin should have used a more "realistic" family ie a family that actually needs the extra cash that you can gain from the downshift

    shes a bit snobbish tho isnt she.. hiding basic brands.. and even tho they spend 10k on food a year doesnt mean they dont bang shed loads of stuff on credit cards i spose

    Also if I was going for a budget brand I'd go to Asda or Tesco- they are waaaaaaay cheaper than Sainsbury's cheaper brand!

    Hang on a minute whilst I inwardly digest that people spend £100 a MONTH on moisturiser ( and still look like they don't know what moisturisers are for) how much are they spending on other essentials like eye lash extensions and fake tans?
