Channel 4 'Ultimate Penny-Pinching'
Discussion
I watched it. I have serious doubts the woman was sticking to the voucher terms & conditions, but that's down to Tesco I suppose! I suspect if challenged she would have a serious meltdown at the checkout too.
Mr Roadkill seemed harmless enough, although I bet he does speed up when he sees something in the road!
I wasn't entirely sure whether the other chap grasped the concept of cost per gram!

Interesting.
Biggest problem was how rubbish their diets seemed to be. (Maybe apart from roadkill man)
I'm sure cooking from scratch you could match the cost per meal of a lot of the s
te that was on offer. Probably about the same time as well if you count the hours of research on t'internet needed to save a few pence.

That was pretty depressing watching that guy stressing about a pack of Jammie dodgers, the wife really wasn't into how cheap he was.
you know if one of them went to work while one did the shopping they'd have a heck of alot more money. That was pretty depressing watching that guy stressing about a pack of Jammie dodgers, the wife really wasn't into how cheap he was.madbadger said:

That struck me too. That mum seemed to just 'prepare' ready meal crap for the kids. I like how they all say they are happy living like that. Yeah right. More like a mental illness.Biggest problem was how rubbish their diets seemed to be. (Maybe apart from roadkill man)

The guy collecting roadkill, surely his "money saving" is flawed by the fact hes using all his petrol up driving round the country lanes every day?! So the money he's saving on buying meat, hes spending on petrol!
and the guy going round the supermarket with his (I presume - Iphone) and barcode scanner, he might save 20p at another supermarket on his jammy dodgers, but hes got an expensive iphone and will then waste his fuel going to another supermarket, just to save a few pence?

I was surprised at the insistence on Burton's Jammy Dodgers and Kellog's Crunchy Nut Cornflakes at Morrisons / Tesco.
Their equivalents can be had at half the price at Lidl.
A sneaky attempt at brand placement perchance? From my experience Tesco offers the lowest value for money on groceries.

Yes, cereal is ridiculously expensive. You'd think they'd go for a supermarket brand. Also I was surprised no-one was running their car on vegetable oil or LPG.Their equivalents can be had at half the price at Lidl.

That's nothing compared to 'extreme couponing', USA stylie....

I'm all for saving money where possible but climbing into bins to rummage for coupons is crazy.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdSxnGn4XSU

I only saw the very end of it - how did she get £65 worth of shopping for a fiver?
There was a story on her on the BBC News site. I believe the trick was to combine offers eg. tins of beans would be 2 for a £1 with one offer and then you'd also present 2 vouchers for a discount of more than 50p on each single can, therefore getting credit against your other shopping.She also went bin diving for other people's receipts to check them online for the "double the difference if your shopping would have been cheaper in another store" offer.
