Channel Four's 'Stop Wasting Money' 31 day challenge!

http://revolution.channel4.com/stop-wasting-money/pledge

Has anyone else seen this? This is my first thread on OS but I thought it might be useful to others - you sign up for the 'pledge' and then there are tips, and challenges for January re saving money.

It has Mrs Moneypenny in it from Super Scrimpers who I don't like too much, but I love the show so hopefully it will be in line with that :T Might be a fun way to pick up new ideas and tips.

    I hadn't seen it myself. I'm not sure that I want to sign up, but I'm not sure why either :D

    I like to think I don't waste money, but I guess these always room for improvement.

    I wonder what the advertisers who advertise on channel 4 think of them promoting this challenge!

    Just signed up, although I like to think I am pretty good at cutting costs. But, as already mentioned by Linda32, there might be something helpful along the line.
