It would be to see who would save rather than make the largest amount of money.

The prize would be the ultimate - to be Martin's apprentice.

Yeah i undersatnd where your comming from Tibbs and it sounds great !!

Not being funny but i was thinking to save money you have to spend money first!!

So maybe everyone should be given a set amount of money to start off with and see how much more money people come back with after a task?

Which would mean it is upto the canidate as to where to spend the money ie. cashback / gambling etc?

Yes, that's true.

What if the contestants could use their wits to blag freebies? Spinning competitors against one another. Put them into a consumer bidding war - that kind of thing.

Tibbs,The_Freebie_Hunter

A sort of consumer monopoly, but in reverse - where the consumer monopolises where the business flows (perhaps through word of mouth or using skills of persuasion).

Perhaps the consumer panel could persuade a business to reduce their product to, e.g. a few pennies cheaper than the competitor.

The skill would not be selling, but to influence the dynamics of selling to meet the demands of the new, savvy consumer.

The players of the game could be labelled MP's, and just as our MP's lobby for change, so would our Money Preservers/Protectors.

Tibbs,The_Freebie_Hunter

Businesses wouldn't know what had hit them if we all pooled together.

We could play online, and lobby for change.

A collective consumerism.

With one ultimate winner - the consumer.
