    Thanks for that, managed to catch it on +1 and have to say I really enjoyed it! Much better than the superscrimpers with a lot of useful ideas. I think it'll be a lot better for other people who are looking to save money as well :D

    Agreed, much better than that other silly programme.
    I like the fact that there were no eccentrics with silly so called "moneysaving" tips, just practical stuff.

    I have watched this yesterday and today whilst having my lunch and have found it much more intresting and has a lot more practical advise than Super Scrimpers.

    I just spotted this today on plus1. Is it on every day at 12? I found it much, much better than superscrimpers too.

    Caught this new prog once on Channel 4 and have watched online for the other episodes. Very good prog although Superscrimpers was a bit better this week too I thought.
