me! Oddly enough I was reading about the owner of Approved Food who is now a millionaire despite Dragons Den turning him down with his idea for selling food items which are beyond their BBF date.
I just said the very same thing, how had she saved money if she has a freezer full of pizzas - she isn't eating them and her poor husband could have had that beer he wanted!
They also dropped a programme earlier in the year called 'The Wonder Of Britain' That had a few episodes left to show, but it was dropped after 2 episodes were shown due to low ratings. So maybe this has gone the same way.
Show Zone - Been in it a few times but I think there stuff isn't very good either in looks or quality.
Motorpoint - No experience of them at all, one up here in Glasgow's East end - they seem to do alright.
Costco - Used to be a member but you have to factor in the cost of membership and petrol driving there and back (if it's a distance away). Still claim to be cheaper than the supermarkets but personally since the "discounters" and the supermarkets have started to get their pricing better I don't see the appeal of Costco anymore. Maybe useful for families buying in bulk, but the impression I got from the clip was the people might have saved on their general grocery shopping but they all seemed to be filling up their trollies with stuff that made me think - "do you really need or want that? Or are you buying it just because you think you've got a bargain?" - seemed to defeat the point of going there in the first place.
Coupon couple - Got the feeling the husband was thinking "sod this" but had to tow the line with his coupon crazy wife! 63 pizzas in a freezer is just plain daft! You wonder how much she has had to spend to get coupons in the first place and how much of the stuff she gets she really will use/need just because again it's a bargain/reduced.
Approved Food - Interesting business model, doing well. Ideal for families wanting to buy in bulk - useful if you can spot the products you are looking for cheaply rather than "oh I'll have that because it's cheap".

I thought it was one per transaction in this country??
Coupon wise it only seems to be for crap/fast food. I love a bit of 'fast food' but I wouldn't want it every day.
Doesn't surprise me. Plenty of people who primarily eat junk can save a fortune!
All the more money to spend on beer, cigs and Gregg's pasties!
Too right! I love a bargain but I draw the line at plastic shoes.
No it was not.

Maybe we will get to see part 2 next week?
Can someone whose EPG goes that far ahead check if possible?
Thanks.
Its not scheduled for next Wed, acc to my EPG.
Maybe part 2 was dropped after all?
