Exactly what I was thinking!

What I want to know is where the lady with the coupons got them all from.

I thought the eating the pizza and sending the crust back for a refund was a bit off. There's a line between money saving and taking the !!!!.

Watching it on 4+1.

First thought, 5 minutes in - how much does roadkill guy spend on petrol?

Actually that's a lie - first thought was why the voucher lady gets freebies she doesn't like...? that's just greed and/or ocd imho.

I wondered how they got the coupons too!! I hardly get any!! Also I couldnt do the roadkill! I was also thinking to drive around 13miles MUST cost more than buying the meat!!

I think our wedding was fab and was about £7000 and it looked like it cost lots and lots we didnt compromise at all. Had 3 tier wedding cake, printed stationary and sit down meal for 65 + supper and a ceilidh band, florist doing flowers and cars & drivers etc etc I cant get how folks spend 25,000!!

The other bits of the programme were bit poor, mum decided she prefers scrimpers! which I think I do.

But these programmes always make me re-think what I do so!

enjoyed the show, the people were very nice especially the couple with the young boy. The wedding was a good idea and the bride looked lovely. Wish them all the best, its nice to see people getting their priorities straight with money.
