Super Scrimpers

Yes I tuned in thinking it might be interesting - but I agree with all the above comments.

Complete waste of time - and no tips of any benefit to any of us - we could do a better show ourselves.

I too buy cheap crackers after Christmas - and my kids would have made better ones than their horrid rubbish ones.

With so many decent tips around its amazing how they can manage such a useless programme.

I never waste pea sized bits of marzipan - I eat them!!

I'd put them out for the birds. Well, if I bought any in the first place - which is the most economical thing of all.

Don't forget - don't waste that pea-sized piece of marzipan.

I didn't, there was a pack in my Mary Berry Christmas cake kit (exp Feb 12) that I didn't use and is still perfectly edible. I shall have a go at making stollen with the remaining pack.

I saw a trailer for another Superscrimpers Christmas show last night and I must admit I though it was a spoof.

Did you know that lightbulbs make excellent Christmas snowmen? and will you be wearing a plastic Christmas headband cut from an old bucket?

It get's worse!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Maybe someone from here who doesn't buy £200 coats at car boots (that's paying £200 at the event not them being reduced from that price), switches all their 1600 light bulbs or advocates saving money at Christmas by sticking a big decoration on your head might get chosen and something useful could be featured!

I volunteer to be the Scrimper who sits there and says, most solemnly;

'Seriously, if you think your life is going to be enhanced by a vast amount of stuff that you can't afford, so much so that you are spending extra money on stuff to make a halfarsed copy of what you actually think you want - trust me, it isn't going to work. Just put the stuff back on the shelf and walk away'

I would be scared they would make me wear one of those bow necklaces just to show I was seriously trying to save
