How to spend less.

I watched most of the first one and thought it was a pointless programme - an insult to people who are really struggling. The people featured on it were stupidly extravagant and I really couldn't have cared less how much money they saved. Won't bother to watch it again.

I'd like to know the charity shop where the good designer items were found. Do I think they will stick to the spending principles the presenters demonstrated? No, not a bit of it.

I doubt they'll pay in full, and I wonder if they own their own home or are moaning that they can't afford to buy a house?
(sorry, not allowed to say that
But I did)

I also watched it- were they earning so much money that they could afford to spend so much? I noticed that everything was paid for by credit card- I wonder if they do what I do and pay in full each month or does the interest accumulate?

I started to watch it but could feel myself getting enraged at the cost of the toddler's clothes, so I switched off!

I watched this programme in amazement, shopping was a hobby!

I watched last week's programme. The toddler had a wardrobe full of expensive clothes, many of which hadn't even been worn. I kept wondering if they were buying any books or toys for her and where were the scruffy clothes for painting and cooking in?

Oh Yes DH had something to say about tools and keeping them properly in the shed/garage. As I get older I have bought more expensive clothes but I want them to last and be classics - I don't turn them over as often as I did when I was younger I suppose we are less and less fashion victims as we grow to love quality and classics.

I was amazed at what they were spending and that they had no idea if they actually needed what they bought.

I probably buy more expensive clothes etc now , than I used to, simply because I can afford them. But I only buy what I need.

The only thing I would take the programme to task over was tools. Generally with tools you get what you pay for. Good tools are a pleasure to use. they perform faster and better. That awful mower was a good example.
