Shame as I suspected [:(] Why don't they make a programme by real people about money saving tips, I'm sure it would be much more popular! And about false economy about penny pinching, recently I've had my food delivered from Tesco as I work from home I can get the cheaper delivery times, which stops me browsing the aisles I buy what I plan and with the price of petrol I'm probably quids in when you work out petrol and random possible purchases!

That rich woman being frugal is exactly what I expected! I'd love solar panels but can't afford to get them!

Meh!

The one woman on there is a total fraud!! Would never say that I had not liked something if I had just to get my money back!
That's a bit like saying you've been mis-sold PPI to get money back - or is that a bit of a sore subject on here??lol

She didn't claim to not like stuff to get refunds. She said she emails companies claiming the stuff is good!

Ah she just blew it. She said she wouldn't do it if she had to work full time!

Her kids are old enough! Get a job like the rest of us!

Ok bit of a recovery as the coupon lady just organised a charity tea and made over £200 for charity!

Still annoying as her frugality is through choice. Maybe I am just jealous of her!!

I've turned over - really couldn't stand it.

I do applaud the charity tea but it really doesn't help me with my weekly spending.

I forgot - pregnancy/baby brain!

Does not sound like my cup of tea & can't stand watching people harp on about money saving ideas when they don't know the meaning of the word skint!!!!

None of the people on there are in a position where they need to act the way they are!

Those of us with a full time job and a life couldn't do what they are!

Definitely not Lyns. Personally I am none the wiser, just wanted to know where you get money off vouchers when you don't buy magazines..
