The UltimateGuide to Penny Pinching

Just seen in next weeks Radio Times (12 for £1), that there is a programme on Wednesday 1st Dec: Channel 4 @ 8pm, called 'The Ultimate guide to Penny Pinching'.
This should suit us all down to the ground!
It quotes a woman who opened 170 bank accounts for the free gifts and a man that saves £1.500 a year by eating roadkill.
Also 'Judith' who uses MOC's as 'She deals out coupons like a cut price croupier'.

We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars........................

    Oh brilliant. I'm looking forward to this, thanks. It will probably be extreme and sensational stories but these things tend to spur me on a bit further and you never know, it may contain something I have not thought about before.
