1 WE'RE WITH THE BOOTH FAMILY, FROM CHORLEY IN LANCASHIRE. I'VE GOT THE BALL! YEAH! COUNCIL MANAGER HOWERD AND MARKETING MANAGER JENNY HAVE TWO SONS ` 9-YEAR-OLD GEO AND 6-YEAR-OLD ARRAN. OH! DAD HOWERD IS A PASSIONATE FOODIE. CRISPY CHICKEN. SCHWAMMA. THANK YOU. YUM, YUM, YUM. AND HE LOVES BEING THE CHEF. TA. CHEERS. (CHUCKLES) CHEERS. I DO MOST OF THE COOKING IN THE HOUSE. UH, JEN DOES THE, SORT OF, STUFF OUT OF THE FREEZER. ALTHOUGH, SHE'S MASTERED A SUNDAY ROAST NOW. YEAH. SO THAT'S TWO THINGS SHE CAN COOK. AND FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST. AND CEREAL. AND CEREAL. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE FOOD SHOPPING, JENNY AND HOWERD ARE LIKE CHALK AND CHEESE. I SHOP FOR FOOD WITH A LIST, AND IT'S WRITTEN AISLE BY AISLE, DEPENDING ON THE SHOP. I'M SUPPER, SUPER ANALLY ORGANISED, AND THEN HOWERD'S THE OPPOSITE OF ME. MY STYLE OF SHOPPING IS ANARCHY. THEY'VE NEVER HAD THIS BEFORE. I DON'T KNOW, WHEN I GO PAST A SHOP, WHAT WILL HAPPEN. (CHUCKLES) PORK AND BLACK PUDDING, SO... GIVE IT A GO. THANKS A LOT. HOWERD'S IMPULSIVE HABITS HAVE THE FOOD BILLS RACKING UP. NOT LIKE I'VE HEARD OF THAT. SUMAC ` I'VE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS OR WHAT YOU'D USE IT FOR. I'LL GO FOR IT. DADDY'S HOME. ANY GOODIES? ANY REDUCIES? WHILE JENNY TRIES TO BE CAUTIOUS, SHE HAS HER OWN SHOPPING AFFLICTION WHICH MAY NOT BE AS ECONOMICAL AS SHE THINKS. IF I SEE SOMETHING ON OFFER, I'LL JUST THINK, 'OH, I'LL BUY THAT AND PUT IT AWAY,' BECAUSE THE SUPERMARKETS ARE REALLY GOOD AT THEIR 'BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE'S AND I WILL` I'LL STOCK UP. AND THAT'S LED TO JAM-PACKED CUPBOARDS. WE CAN'T EVEN FIT THIS IN THE CUPBOARD, RIGHT. (CHUCKLES) WHERE IS THIS GONNA GO? THERE. FITS. (CHUCKLES) DETERMINED MUSIC GREGG AND CHRIS ARE AT THE FAMILY'S LOCAL SUPERMARKET, LYING IN WAIT FOR THEIR NEXT BIG SHOP. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT DOES BOGGLE IS THE AMOUNT OF OFFERS THERE ARE. THEY'RE WONDERING IF, TRUE TO FORM, JENNY WILL BE HUNTING OUT THE MULTIBUY DEALS. I DEFY THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE TO COME IN AND JUST GET EXACTLY WHAT THEY INTENDED. BUT IT'S SO HARD TO IGNORE ALL THE ATTENTION-GRABBING SIGNS, LIKE RED PRICE STICKERS. WE THINK WE'RE GETTING A GOOD DEAL, BUT IS THAT ALWAYS THE CASE? I WOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN ANY NOTICE, BUT NOW I'M THINKING ABOUT IT, I THINK BECAUSE THEY'VE STUCK A BIG RED PRICE STICKER ON IT, I THINK IT'S A BARGAIN. WHY ARE THEY TELLING ME SO BOLDLY THAT IS �2? BECAUSE IT MUST BE GOOD VALUE. I'VE COME IN, AND I'VE NEVER MEANT TO BUY STRAWBERRIES, AND NOW I'M BUYING THEM BECAUSE IT'S GOT A BIG RED STICKER ON IT. SEE, LOOK. YOU'RE LITERALLY FALLING OVER THE DEALS, INNIT? (CHUCKLES) THE BOOTHS HAVE ARRIVED AT THE SUPERMARKET TO DO THE FAMILY SHOP. THE KEY TO EVERY SUCCESSFUL SHOPPING TRIP IS HAVING A LIST. JENNY'S GOT HERS AT THE READY. THIS IS LOOKING PROMISING. WHAT DO WE NEED? OH DEAR. KEEP UP, HOWERD. WHILE JENNY AND HOWERD STOCK UP, TWO NEW SALES ASSISTANTS ARE WATCHING THEIR EVERY MOVE. OH, THAT'S WAY TOO MANY. WAY TOO MANY. COURGETTES AND CARROTS. NO, WE ONLY NEED ONE AND ONE OR TWO CARROTS. GIVE ME THE LIST. UH-OH. A TIFF IN AISLE TWO. FROM THE SAFETY OF THE STOREROOM, GREGG AND CHRIS WATCH ON AS JENNY'S LURED TO THE END-OF-AISLE DISPLAY. HEY, OFFERS. OH, HOWERD, WE NEED CHEESE. CHRIS: DRAWN TO THE HALF-PRICE OFFERS. IS THAT A GOOD PRICE? THAT'S MORE EXPENSIVE, BUT YOU NEED LESS OF IT. YEAH, BUT IT'S BETTER. GREGG: THEY WANTED CHEESE. THEY'VE GONE STRAIGHT TO SPECIAL OFFER. YEAH. THEY CAN'T COMPARE THE PRICES, BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY THREE CHEESES UP THERE. NO, THAT'S RIGHT. AROUND THE CORNER THERE MIGHT BE A SIX-KILO PACK OF CHEDDAR FOR 20P. COULD WELL BE. FALLEN AT THE FIRST HURDLE. BUT MAYBE NOW SHE'LL START LOOKING UP AND DOWN THE AISLE? BEANS AND SAUSAGE. WHOO-HOO, IT'S ON OFFER. BUYING THINGS THAT YOU DON'T NEED JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE ON SPECIAL OFFER (CHUCKLES) IS NOT SAVING MONEY. IT'S STILL SPENDING MONEY. I THINK SHE MET HOWERD IN A PUB. HE HAD AN OFFER STICKER ON HIS HEAD. (LAUGHS) HE MUST HAVE HAD, YEAH. BUY ONE, GET HALF PRICE. LOOK OUT. HOWERD'S GOT THE TROLLEY, AND HE'S GOING ROGUE IN AISLE FOUR. THESE THINGS IN JARS THAT I DON'T KNOW... LOOK LIKE TOMATOES OR SOMETHING. LOOK, LOOK, LOOK. LITTLE GLANCE. I'M HAVING IT. DEFINITELY HAVING IT NOW. GREGG AND CHRIS: HE'S HIDING IT. OH NO. ANYTHING ELSE, HOWERD? GET A BIT OF THAT. BUSY MUSIC SURPRISE, SURPRISE. HE GRABS WHATEVER TAKES HIS FANCY. WHAT'S THIS MADE OUT OF? IT'S ALL RIGHT. I'VE GOT A MEAL PLAN IN MY HEAD, AND I KNOW WHAT WE'VE GOT IN THE FRIDGE AND WHAT'S GONNA GO OFF. NOW, JENNY'S JUST SAID SHE HAS A CLEAR MEAL PLAN IN HER HEAD. I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE CASE, TO BE HONEST. BUT SHE'S GOT A SHOPPING LIST. SURELY A GOOD SIGN FOR SOMEONE AVOIDING FOODS THEY ALREADY HAVE AT HOME. GREGG: WHAT'S THAT? WHAT'S THAT? IS THAT FROZEN SAUSAGES? WE USUALLY HAVE THREE BAGS IN THE FREEZER ` TWO ARE ON STANDBY. HOW MANY BAGS ARE IN THE FREEZER, JENNY? (CHUCKLES) THREE. HOW MANY SAUSAGES ARE THE FAMILY GOING THROUGH? I MEAN, I LIKE A SAUSAGE AS MUCH AS THE NEXT MAN, BUT THAT MIGHT BE PUSHING THE POINT. I BET WHEN WE GO ROUND THEIR HOUSE THEY GOT A DACHSHUND. (LAUGHS) JUST BEER, WINE AND DOG FOOD NOW, AND THEN WE'RE DONE. RIGHT. IT'S TWO FOR 18. OK. RIGHT, I THINK THEY'RE HEADING FOR THE TILL. WELL, IT'S FUN AND GAMES BEFORE THE CHECKOUT, BUT LITTLE DO THE BOOTHS KNOW WHAT AWAITS THEM. HOWERD. JENNY. OH! (CHUCKLES) WE'VE JUST BEEN WATCHING YOU SHOP. HAVE YOU? YOU HAVEN'T. NICE TO MEET YOU. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS A BIT... YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. NICE TO MEET YOU. SO, IT LOOKS LIKE A FAIRLY BIG SHOP. SHOULD WE GET IT RUNG UP AND SEE WHAT THE TOTAL IS? YEAH, GO ON. IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE A BIG SHOP, CHRIS, BUT THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY. CAN WE HAVE SOME BAGS, PLEASE, GREGG? AND A LOT OF WHAT THEY BOUGHT WASN'T ACTUALLY ON JENNY'S SHOPPING LIST. WHAT'S THAT? THAT GOT SNUCK IN. AND HE DID WELL TO GET THAT IN AS WELL. MUST HAVE BEEN ONE OF THESE. (LAUGHS) WHAT IS IT? AND IT SOMEHOW MANAGED TO FALL UNDER A COUPLE OF OTHER PRODUCTS. OH, DID IT? SO, THE SAUSAGES FEATURE QUITE HEAVILY. THEY DO. IS THAT A PARTICULAR BRAND? PLUS YOU CAN COOK 'EM FROM FROZEN. YEAH, THAT'S WHY IT'S CONVENIENT. HOW MANY TIMES A WEEK ARE YOU GOING SHOPPING? THREE OR FOUR. THE AVERAGE FOUR-PERSON FAMILY SPENDS �96.30 A WEEK ON FOOD AND DRINK. BUT WHAT'S THE DAMAGE ON THIS ONE SHOP FOR THE BOOTHS? THE GRAND TOTAL... IT COMES TO �154.17. YOU'VE WINDED ME. YOU HAVE. YEAH, I DO. I FEEL QUITE WINDED. THAT'S 60% MORE THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. I'M` I'M... PRETTY MUCH SHOCKED. WELL, REST ASSURED THAT, WITH A FEW TWEAKS, I THINK WE SAVE. DO IT. YEP, YOU'RE ON. ABSOLUTELY, YES. OK. WE CAN DO IT TOGETHER, SHALL WE? YES, PLEASE. YES. COME ON. MIGHT AS WELL MAKE A START, MIGHTN'T WE? YES, DEFINITELY. HOWERD: OOH, THIS IS HEAVY. I'M NOT SURPRISED. YOU'VE GOT NEARLY 200-QUID'S WORTH OF SHOPPING IN IT. IT'S BOUND TO BE HEAVY. BEFORE THE BOOTHS HAVE A CHANCE TO PUT THEIR SHOPPING AWAY, GREGG AND CHRIS TAKE A SNEAKY LOOK AROUND THEIR KITCHEN. I'VE GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU ` WHAT'S THE CHANCE THEY'VE GOT AN EMPTY FRIDGE? I WOULD LIKE TO THINK IT'S ABSOLUTELY BARE, BUT WATCHING THE WAY THOSE TWO SHOP, I'M NOT SO SURE. YOU DO FRIDGE. I'LL DO CUPBOARD. LET'S GO. THEY'RE NOT PREPARED FOR WHAT THEY FIND. GREGG, THIS IS FULL OF STUFF. THEY'VE JUST BEEN AND BOUGHT. YOU'RE KIDDING ME. THAT IS A FULL-UP FRIDGE. THIS IS WHAT IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE AFTER YOU'VE BEEN SHOPPING, NOT JUST BEFORE YOU'VE COME HOME WITH OVER �150 WORTH OF FOOD. THIS IS PHENOMENAL. (EXHALES HEAVILY) LOOK. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. DO WE REALLY, REALLY NEED THIS MUCH RICE? THEY'D BE MUCH BETTER OFF BUYING A GREAT BIG TWO-KILO, THREE-KILO BAG OF RICE. BEANS! BEANS! BEANS! BEANS! THERE'S BEANS EVERYWHERE. AND THAT MAY BE A CRAZY CONCEPT TO THEM ` GO TO THE SUPERMARKET, BUY SOME FOOD AND EAT IT! STEADY ON, GREGG. THERE IS NO POINT BUYING THIS STUFF FOR INSIDE-CUPBOARD DECORATION. JUST PUT TINSEL IN THERE. I TELL YOU WHAT, WITHOUT GETTING ANGRY WITH THEM, WE NEED TO HAVE A REALLY GOOD, LONG CHAT WITH THEM. THE BOOTH'S SHOPPING AND HOARDING IS OUT OF CONTROL. THEY NEED TO CHANGE THEIR WAYS AND SAVE MONEY NOW MORE THAN EVER. OUR BUNGALOW AT THE MOMENT IS TWO-BEDROOMS, AND THE BOYS SHARE A BEDROOM. LIKE, THE BOYS CAN'T HAVE SLEEPOVERS, AND GEO LIKES DRAWING, BUT HE HASN'T GOT ROOM FOR A DESK. IF WE SAVED MONEY, I'D LIKE TO BUILD AN EXTENSION ON THE HOUSE. THAT WOULD MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE TO OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. WE NEED THAT EXTENSION. FUNKY MUSIC GREGG AND CHRIS ARE DETERMINED TO HELP THE FAMILY SAVE MONEY. IT'S TIME FOR A MUCH-NEEDED WAKE-UP CALL. SO, SORRY FOR AMBUSHING YOU EARLIER. HERE WE ARE WITH ALL THE BITS AND PIECES THAT YOU BOUGHT TODAY. WE'VE HAD ACCESS TO YOUR KITCHEN, RIGHT? JENNY AND HOWERD: YEAH. WE'VE HAD A QUICK CALCULATION. IN TERMS OF MONEY, NOT ON THIS TABLE, HOW MUCH IS IN THAT KITCHEN? I RECKON (CHUCKLES)... 200. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. I RECKON �250. �250 WORTH. STOCKPILED, YEAH. I'VE GOT IN CASH WHAT YOU'VE GOT. (CHUCKLES) NO! THERE IS OVER �1000... (GASPS) YOU'RE JOKING? OH MY GOD. ...WORTH OF FOOD. AND THAT'S CONSERVATIVE. �1000? THAT IS A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE. OH, I'M SHOCKED. THAT IS MONEY THAT WE NEED NOW, THIS MONTH. THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY'S WORTH OF FOOD IN THERE,... MM-HM. WHY DON'T YOU CHECK BEFORE YOU GO OUT? I'M SHOCKED SEEING THAT. MM. AND I... I DIDN'T KNOW. I THINK I PROBABLY WILL NOW. MM. COS IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE STRAIGHT AWAY. THAT'S JUST RIDICULOUS. THAT IS MAD. AND THAT'S NOT ALL, AS CHRIS FORCES THE BOOTHS TO FACE UP TO HOW MUCH THEY'RE SPENDING ON FOOD. I HAVE HERE YOUR RECEIPTS... (CHUCKLES) OH GOD. ...FROM LAST WEEK. OH NO. AND THIS COMES TO, IN ONE WEEK,... IT COMES TO A TOTAL OF �260. NEARLY THREE TIMES MORE THAN A TYPICAL FAMILY OF FOUR. OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR,... MM. IT COMES TO ABOUT �13,000. OH MY GOD! WHY AM I GETTING UP TO GO TO WORK IN THE MORNING? THAT IS AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF MONEY. YEAH, THAT'S TERRIBLE. THAT'S NOT FUNNY. NO. �13,000 A YEAR ON FOOD IS... IT'S ALMOST CRIMINAL, ISN'T IT? WHEN YOU THINK, YOU KNOW, SOME FOLK DON'T GET ANY. MM. MM. SO THAT'S NOT RIGHT. I DON'T FEEL GOOD ABOUT THAT. I WOULDN'T BEAT YOURSELVES UP TOO BADLY. YOU'RE NOT BUYING PINK CHAMPAGNE AND CAVIAR. BUT IT CAN VERY EASILY START TO GET OUT OF CONTROL. AND IF WE COULD LOOK AT SAVING YOU SOME MONEY, WHAT DIFFERENCE COULD THAT MAKE TO YOU? WELL, WE WANT AN EXTENSION ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE. IF WE COULD SAVE �40 A WEEK, THEN WE COULD AFFORD THE MORTGAGE AND GET THE EXTENSION. OK. WE'RE GONNA DO OUR ABSOLUTE LEVEL BEST TO SAVE YOU AS MUCH AS WE CAN. DO IT. AWESOME. 1 WHAT ARE THE MAIN AREAS HERE THAT WE'RE GONNA WORK ON? JENNY, ALTHOUGH SHE LIKES TO THINK SHE PLANS HER MEALS AND SHOPS FOR BARGAINS, IS OVER-BUYING, BUYING THE WRONG THINGS AND THIS MEAL PLAN, I'M` I'M YET TO SEE IT. I DON'T THINK IT EXISTS. HOWERD'S THE COOK. HE LOVES TO COOK. I'D LIKE TO HAVE A CHAT, CUP OF TEA WITH HOWERD ABOUT USING UP SOME OF THE STUFF IN THE KITCHEN, ALL OF THE STUFF IN THE KITCHEN, ACTUALLY. THE BOOTH PLAN IS VERY CLEAR. BUT HOW MUCH CAN WE ACTUALLY SAVE THEM? I GUARANTEE WE CAN SAVE THIS FAMILY �50 A WEEK, WHICH IS ENOUGH TO BUILD THEIR EXTENSION. I, WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT, CAN SAVE THIS FAMILY �70 A WEEK. OH! YOU'RE MORE CONFIDENT THAN ME. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY TEETH STUCK INTO THIS. DO YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS FAMILY REALLY NEED OUR HELP, AND I AM REALLY UP FOR THIS. WHAT ARE YOU, THE CAPED CRUSADER? (CHUCKLES) IF THAT MAKES YOU ROBIN. COME ON, THEN. WE'RE TAKING AWAY THE BOOTH'S USUAL SHOPPING AND REPLACING IT WITH DIFFERENT BRANDS DISGUISED IN PLAIN PACKAGING, HOPING TO OPEN THEIR EYES TO NEW VARIETIES THAT COULD SAVE THEM MONEY. MOST ITEMS ARE CHEAPER, BUT OTHERS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE, BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT IS WORTH SPENDING THE EXTRA. OOH! KITCHEN'S... OH, NO, NO. NO. NOT THE TAPE. OH MY GOD. AH! (GASPS) OH MY GOD. BURGERS. OH, SNACKS. CANS. ARRAN'S ALL RIGHT. HE'S GOT SAUSAGES AND KETCHUP. HE'LL BE FINE. WOW, LOOK AT THAT KETCHUP. SOMEONE'S KEEN TO GET STUCK IN. YOUR BEER. (CHUCKLES) TOMATOES. LOOK, THEY PUT TWO BEERS IN THE FRIDGE FOR YOU. TWO? IT'S LIKE A SCIENCE FICTION SET. ALL THESE WHITE LABELS. EVERYTHING CHANGED TO JUST PLAIN. TO REALLY TEST THEIR PALATES, SOME FOODS HAVEN'T BEEN SWAPPED AT ALL. BUT THE BIG QUESTION IS WILL THE FAMILY RECOGNISE THEM? JAM. YES. I KNOW MY JAMS. THAT'S YOUR DEPARTMENT. I KNOW THAT'S` THAT'S... THAT IS NOT THE BEST JAM IN THE WORLD. ISN'T IT? LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING, HOWERD. THAT'S THE JAM YOU ALWAYS HAVE. ONCE THE EXPERIMENT IS OVER, THE BOYS WILL REVEAL THEIR NEW WEEKLY SHOPPING BILL, WHICH WILL ALL DEPEND ON HOW MANY OF THE NEW FOODS THEY WANT TO KEEP. THE ORANGE JUICE LOOKS REALLY IMPRESSIVE. IT DOES. IT LOOKS POSH. DOESN'T IT? LOOKS LIKE HOTEL ORANGE JUICE. YES, IT LOOKS NICE. IT MIGHT LOOK POSH, BUT ACTUALLY THIS IS A VALUE PRODUCT. WE'RE WORKING WITH DIETICIAN LUCY JONES, WHO'S AN EXPERT AT KNOWING WHERE YOU SHOULD SAVE AND WHERE YOU SHOULD SPEND WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD AND DRINK. I MEET A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT SPEND AN AWFUL AMOUNT OF MONEY BUYING FRESH FRUIT JUICE, THINKING THEIR GETTING SOMETHING NUTRITIONALLY SUPERIOR. I THINK MOST PEOPLE WOULD BE REALLY SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT, ACTUALLY, THERE'S NOT A LOT IN IT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUTRIENTS THAT WE BUY JUICE FOR, THINGS LIKE VITAMIN C, ACROSS THE BOARD THEY'RE ALL PRETTY MUCH THE SAME. SO IF THEY'RE ALL GOOD FOR US, WHY THE PRICE DIFFERENCE? YOU'VE GOT PREMIUM PRICE JUICE THAT'S NOT FROM CONCENTRATE AT �2.48 A LITRE. AND JUICE FROM CONCENTRATE THAT'S TYPICALLY UNDER A POUND. MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT JUICE FROM CONCENTRATE IS FULL OF ADDITIVES AND SWEETENERS. WELL, WE'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU. GREGG'S IN SOMERSET AT A JUICE-BOTTLING PLANT. YOU'RE GONNA SHOW ME HOW TO MAKE ORANGE JUICE FROM CONCENTRATE. YES. JUST GONNA ADD SOME WATER, BIT OF AROMA, THEN YOU'VE GOT JUICE FROM CONCENTRATE. SO THAT IS JUST PURELY THE CONCENTRATE OF THE JUICE, NOTHING ADDED AT ALL. I MEAN, THAT IS THICK. RIGHT, SO I ADD THIS. GIVE IT A LITTLE STIR FIRST. CONCENTRATE IS THE JUICE WITH THE WATER REMOVED. THIS IS DONE TO MAKE IT EASIER TO TRANSPORT. TO RETURN IT TO ITS ORIGINAL STRENGTH, GREGG ADDS SIX PARTS WATER. LOOK AT IT AS RESTORATION. BECAUSE AROMA IS LOST DURING THE CONCENTRATION PROCESS, OIL IS ADDED, BUT ONLY OILS THAT WERE ONCE PART OF THE ORANGE. WHERE WOULD ORANGE JUICE BE WITHOUT SQUIRTING ORANGE JUICE INTO IT. (CHUCKLES) ABSOLUTELY. SO THERE'S NO CHEMICALS GONE IN THERE? NO. NO ADDED SWEETENER. NO. NOTHING TO MAKE IT LAST LONGER. NOPE. NO PRESERVATIVES. NO SUGAR. NO COLOURING. THE MOST UNNATURAL THING IN HERE IS ME. (CHUCKLES) REGARDLESS OF PRICE, ALL ORANGE JUICE IS 100% FRUIT JUICE, AND THE SIMILARITIES DON'T STOP THERE. ONCE THE CONCENTRATED JUICE IS RECONSTITUTED BY ADDING WATER, IT'S PUMPING INTO BLENDING TANKS, THEN PUT THROUGH A HEAT EXCHANGER TO KILL BACTERIA BEFORE BOTTLING. THIS PROCESS IS EXACTLY THE SAME FOR CONCENTRATE AND NOT FROM CONCENTRATE. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE A SINGLE BEAUTIFUL ORANGE... YES. ...TO GO FROM BRAZIL TO A POT OF YOUR JUICE IN MY SUPERMARKET? IT COULD BE UP TO NINE MONTHS, FROM THROUGH TO CONSUMPTION. NINE MONTHS? WOW. IS THAT THE SAME FOR CONCENTRATE AND NON-CONCENTRATE? YES, IT CAN BE. I WANT TO FIND A DIFFERENCE, JOHN, AND YOU'RE NOT HELPING. SALES OF JUICE THAT'S NOT FROM CONCENTRATE HAVE RISEN DRAMATICALLY OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS AS WE SEEM TO BELIEVE IT'S A SUPERIOR PRODUCT. BUT ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE IS ACTUALLY DOWN TO THE COST OF TRANSPORTATION. THIS LORRY, HOW MUCH CONCENTRATE IS IN HERE... YES. ...AND HOW MUCH ORANGE JUICE WILL THAT MAKE? SO, THERE'S 28 TONS OF CONCENTRATE IN HERE, AND THAT WILL MAKE ABOUT 160,000 LITRES OF JUICE. 160,000 LITRES. SO HOW MANY OF THOSE CONTAINERS WOULD WE HAVE TO BRING IN OF ORANGE JUICE TO MAKE 160,000 LITRES? JUST UNDER SIX. THAT'S NOT CHEAP. NOPE. IS, BASICALLY, THE IDEA OF CONCENTRATE TO MAKE THE WHOLE JOB COST EFFECTIVE? THAT'S` THAT'S REALLY HOW IT STARTED, YES. THAT'S WHY JUICE FROM CONCENTRATE CAN BE OVER �1.80 CHEAPER THAN NOT FROM CONCENTRATE. NOW, WITH MANY THINGS IN LIFE, YOU ACTUALLY GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT'S TRUE OF ORANGE JUICE. BECAUSE ORANGE JUICE FROM CONCENTRATE IS A GOOD PRODUCT AND IT'S VALUE FOR MONEY. BUT CAN YOUR TASTE BUDS TASTE THE DIFFERENCE? GREGG'S TAKEN TO THE STREETS TO FIND OUT. WOULD YOU TASTE SOME ORANGE JUICE FOR ME? I WILL. I WANT YOU TO TASTE THEM FOR ME, TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK AND WHICH ONE YOU PREFER. IT'S BLUE STRAW FOR THE PRICEY NOT-FROM-CONCENTRATE BRAND LEADER AND PINK STRAW FOR THE BUDGET-FRIENDLY CONCENTRATE. I LIKE THE BLUE. IT'S A LOT SWEETER THAN THE PINK ONE. I PREFER THE BLUE ONE. I PREFER BLUE. I THINK IT TASTES NICER. SO THE PREMIUM BRAND ORANGE JUICE HAS GONE DOWN WELL. BUT HOW ABOUT THE VALUE OPTION? I LIKE THE PINK ONE. IT HAD MORE TEXTURE TO IT AND MORE TASTE. PINK ONE TASTES BETTER. MORE FLAVOUR. I PREFER THE PINK ONE. IT WAS A CLOSE RACE, BUT THE PREMIUM BRAND EDGED OUT IN FRONT WITH ONE MORE VOTE THAN THE VALUE OPTION. SOME PREFER NOT FROM CONCENTRATE. SOME PREFER THE CONCENTRATE, AND THAT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME. THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE PRICE, BUT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE TO WHAT'S IN IT! THEY DON'T HAVE TO FEEL GUILTY ABOUT BUYING THE CONCENTRATE. RELAXED GUITAR MUSIC ORANGE JUICE IS JUST ONE THING ON THE MENU IN CHORLEY, WHERE THE BOOTHS ARE ABOUT TO BEGIN TRIALLING THEIR UNKNOWN FOODS. FIRST BREAKFAST, SO IT'S ALL A BIT EXCITING BUT A BIT... UNUSUAL. DO YOU WANT CORNFLAKES OR WHEAT CEREAL? OH, THAT'S A BIT SPARING, ARRAN. (CHUCKLES) OH, YOU NEED MORE THAN THAT. SENSING SOME SUSPICION HERE. BUT SWAPPING THEIR PREMIUM ORANGE JUICE FOR A VALUE OPTION IS A SAVING OF �1.83 A LITRE. THE BOOTHS GET THROUGH FOUR LITRES A WEEK, SO THAT'S A MASSIVE �380 A YEAR SAVING. LOOKS VERY POSH. LET'S GIVE IT A GO. YOU HAVE TO FIND AN ORANGE JUICE THAT EVERYBODY LIKES, SO. THE ORANGE JUICE IS GOOD. I THINK MAYBE SLIGHTLY BETTER. TASTES GOOD. YEAH, NOT OVERLY SWEET. NOT TOO THIN. IT'S ALL RIGHT. OH, THERE'S ALWAYS ONE. HOW ABOUT THE REST OF THE MEAL? THESE CORNFLAKES ARE GOOD. THEY'RE ALL RIGHT. THEY'RE NOT AS BIG, BUT THEY TASTE FINE. THEIR REGULAR BRANDED CEREAL SETS THEM BACK �1.80 A BOX. BUT THIS ONE'S ONLY 31P! THAT'S A HUGE �1.49 SAVING. GO ON, HOWERD. LET'S SEE WHAT YOU THINK OF THE` THE JAM, THEN. OK. THE JAM'S THE ONLY THING WE HAVEN'T SWAPPED. THE JAM'S OK. I'M NOT MAD ABOUT IT. IT'S JUST NOT GREAT, I DON'T THINK. GOTCHA. THOUGHT YOU KNEW YOUR JAM, HOWERD. IF THE BOOTHS WERE TO KEEP THESE NEW BREAKFAST FOODS, IT WOULD SHAVE A SIZEABLE �11.19 OFF THE WEEKLY BILL ` NEARLY �600 A YEAR. OVERALL, THE BREAKFAST WAS REALLY GOOD. THE ORANGE JUICE WAS OK. THE JAM WAS OK. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GOOD. SO FAR, I'M HAPPY, AND THE KIDS SAID WE'RE ALL STILL ALIVE. THAT'S QUITE IMPORTANT. OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, THE BOOTH FAMILY CONTINUE WITH THEIR FOOD SWAPS, TEST-DRIVING ALL MANNER OF NEW PRODUCTS. DOESN'T SMELL PARTICULARLY GOOD. OOH, THESE ARE NICE AND SOFT. WHERE ARE THESE FROM? BACON, CREAM. NOT SURE ABOUT THIS. I THINK THIS SPAGHETTI IS MUCH THINNER THAN OUR USUAL. IT MIGHT BE THINNER, BUT IT'S ALSO 76P CHEAPER THAN THE BRAND YOU NORMALLY BUY. BUT WHAT'S THE VERDICT ON THE SPAGHETTI CARBONARA? IT'S REALLY GOOD. IF IT IS CHEAPER, THEN I WOULD DEFINITELY SWAP AND HAVE THIS. ON TO A BRITISH STAPLE ` A ROAST DINNER. HOW ARE YOUR YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS? ARE THEY GOOD? MUMBLES: YES, BUT CRUNCHY. YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS ARE NICE. NICE AND CRUNCHY. AND A GREAT SAVING AS THEY'RE �1.26 CHEAPER. MM, I THINK THEY'RE GOOD. THEY'RE CRISPY. THE MORE FOODS THEY LIKE, THE MORE SAVINGS THEY'LL MAKE. 1 DETERMINED MUSIC SAVING THE BOOTHS MONEY IS NOT JUST ABOUT FINDING THEM NEW FOODS. GREGG AND CHRIS ALSO WANT TO CHANGE THE WAY THEY SHOP. I'M ON A MEAL PLAN REVOLUTION, GREGG. (CHUCKLES) OH, YEAH? WHAT IS IT? (CHUCKLES) I'M GLAD YOU ASKED ME THAT. FOR ME, THE CORNERSTONE OF SAVING MONEY IS PLANNING YOUR MEALS AND THEN ONLY GOING OUT AND BUYING WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THOSE MEALS. AND IF YOU DO THAT, YOU WILL SAVE MONEY. RIGHTO. RIGHTO. THAT'S THE IDEA YOU'VE GOTTA SELL TO THE BOOTHS. DEFINITELY. I FEEL AS THOUGH MY CARD'S BEEN MARKED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GONNA DO TODAY. (SIGHS) I HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE. THEY MIGHT SEE IF WE'VE CHANGED IT, AND I DON'T THINK WE HAVE. WE HAVEN'T. THE FREEZERS ARE STILL FULL. I AM DYING TO GET IN THE KITCHEN WITH HOWERD THE FAMILY CHEF AND USE UP SOME OF THE STUFF THAT THEY'VE BEEN STOCKPILING. I RECKON THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE TO GO SHOPPING FOR A FORTNIGHT. THAT'D SAVE 'EM �500. I MEAN, SERIOUSLY! AS LONG AS THEY DON'T JUMP OUT FROM ANYWHERE. YEAH. I'LL BE QUITE HAPPY. THAT'D BE GOOD, YEAH. I'D RATHER THEY JUST CAME THROUGH THE GATE. (RINGS DOORBELL) WELL, THEY HAVE LEARNED TO DO THAT AT LEAST. GREGG: HEY! (CHUCKLES) ALL RIGHT, BRO? COME ON. HOW ARE YA, MATE? LET'S GO IN. COME ON. YOU GO FIRST. IT'S STRAIGHT DOWN TO BUSINESS FOR REVOLUTIONARY CHRIS AND WILLING FOLLOWER JENNY, WHO HAS SO FAR FAILED TO MEAL PLAN EFFECTIVELY. SOME PEOPLE ARE A LITTLE BIT SCARED OF MEAL PLANNING. NO, I'M NOT. WHAT HAPPENS IS I HAVE MY MEAL PLAN, AND HOWERD WILL COME HOME ON WEDNESDAY AND LOOK AT IT AND GO, 'NAH, I DON'T FANCY THAT. I GOT THIS INSTEAD.' OK. SO WE'LL HAVE TO GET HIM SIGNED UP TO THIS. I AM VERY KEEN FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. I THOUGHT SOMETHING THAT MIGHT ENCOURAGE HIM TO GO ALONG WITH THIS IS MAYBE GIVE HIM, WE'LL CALL IT, LIKE, A 'HOWERD FREE DAY' OR 'HOWERD'S DAY'. YEAH! UM, AND THEN HE CAN GO OFF PIECE OR HE CAN STOP AT THE SHOPS ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK,... THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. ...AND JUST GO WITH WHATEVER HE FANCIES. IN THE MEANTIME, GREGG WANTS HOWERD TO MAKE MEALS USING INGREDIENTS ALREADY IN HIS CUPBOARDS. WE'RE GONNA DO DINNER. OK. WHAT YA GOT? LOADS. BOTH CHUCKLE TONS. YEAH. TONS. RIGHT, YOU'VE GOT PLENTY OF PASTA AND TOMATO SAUCE. WELL, THAT'S OBVIOUS. THAT SHOUTS OUT BOLOGNAISE STRAIGHT AWAY, DOESN'T IT? YEAH. WHAT MEAT HAVE YOU GOT IN YOUR FRIDGE? WE'VE GOT SOME MINCED BEEF IN. IF YOU WANNA USE UP THE MINCE, WE CAN EITHER GO SPAG BOL, OR WE COULD GO MEATBALLS, MEATBALLS AND SPAGHETTI. UH, BE THE MEATBALLS, THEN. BUSY MUSIC LET'S FINELY CHOP AN ONION. THROUGH THE STEM. ALWAYS THROUGH THE STEM, COS THAT MEANS YOU CAN HANDLE IT. HOLD IT. THREE CUTS IN THERE. THREE OR FOUR DOWN LIKE THAT. AND THEN... THERE YOU ARE. GOT IT. YOU'RE MAKING ME CRY. (CHUCKLES) IT'S NOT THE ONIONS. IT'S YOU. (CHUCKLES) CRUNCHY CHICKEN MONDAY. THE BOYS WILL BE VERY HAPPY WITH THAT. THAT'S A VERY GOOD, CONCISE START. YEAH! JENNY'S TAKEN TO MEAL PLANNING INSTANTLY. TUESDAYS ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT, COS MY MUM ` BLESS HER. YAY, SUPER NANA ` SHE FEEDS THE KIDS ON TUESDAY. OK. YOU'VE GOT TO ENJOY IT. YOU'VE GOT TO WANT TO EAT THIS, SO... I THINK, YEAH, BOLOGNAISE. YEAH? YEAH. RIGHT, WONDERFUL. ONIONS IN. GARLIC IN. AND WHILE THOSE GENTLY COOK, NOW THAT WE'VE PROVIDED YOU WITH THE FOOD, AND YOU'VE GOT A CLEAR PLAN, HOW ARE YOU GETTING ON WITH NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN OFF TO THE SHOPS? OH, I STRUGGLE A BIT. I'M LIKE A LEASHED ANIMAL. WHY DO YOU WANNA GO? WHAT'S THE FASCINATION? (CHUCKLES) I JUST DON'T LIKE BEING TOLD WHAT TO DO AND, SORT OF, CONTROLLED. THERE'S NO REASON OTHER THAN THAT. I JUST WANNA GO OUT AND TRY SOMETHING. YOU CAN ALWAYS, WHEN YOU'RE WRITING A PLAN, LEAVE A LITTLE BIT OF SPACE FOR EXPERIMENTATION. YEAH, YEAH. I'LL DO IT WITH THE STUFF WE'VE GOT IN THE CUPBOARDS, LIKE YOU SAID. MATE, THAT` THAT IS GENIUS. SO, THURSDAY. SO THIS IS A NIGHT, AGAIN, WHERE THE KIDS MIGHT EAT EARLY AND WE'LL EAT LATER. IN TERMS OF SAVING MONEY, I THINK WE MUST REALLY TRY, FOR THE MAJORITY OF MEALS, YOU'RE HAVING THE SAME THING, IF YOU CAN. THAT REALLY DOES REPRESENT SAVING. AND IT SAVES YOU TIME. WHAT ABOUT A NICE BIG CASSEROLE OR SHEPHERD'S PIE OR LASAGNE ` SOMETHING YOU CAN JUST PUT IN THE OVEN, FORGET ABOUT. MM. YOU CAN ADD SOME VEGE OR SALAD TO IT. YEAH, MAYBE SOME BEEF OR PORK. I DON'T KNOW. YEAH. MAYBE SOME KIND OF CASSEROLE, YEAH. GREGG: # HOWERD THE CHEF! HOWERD THE CHEF! GOT TO BE A BIT ITALIAN, HOWERD. SING SOME ITALIAN SONGS. # ONIONS, ONIONS, WHAT YA GONNA DO? # ONIONS, ONIONS... # FOR ME AND YOU. BOTH: # LA-LA, LA-LA, LA-LA, LA-LA, LA-LA, LA-LA, LA-LA! (CHUCKLES) # LA-LA, LA-LA... I THINK YOU'VE GOT A HIT ON YOUR HANDS, BOYS. SO SATURDAY, IS THIS...? THIS IS A HOWERD'S FREE DAY, YEAH. HOWERD SPECIAL. YEAH, YEAH. SO, THEN, SUNDAY... OH, ROAST DINNER ALL THE WAY. YEAH. WHEN YOU'VE ASCERTAINED WHAT IT IS YOU NEED TO MAKE THESE MEALS, BEFORE YOU EVEN CONSIDER LEAVING THE HOUSE OR GOING TO A SUPERMARKET, YOU CROSS REFERENCE THE LIST OF THINGS YOU NEED AGAINST WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE. YEAH, I THOUGHT I WAS DOING THAT IN MY HEAD, BUT OBVIOUSLY NOT. I MEAN, I'VE GOT A SHOP, AND I THINK YOU MIGHT CARRY MORE STOCK THAN ME. DO YOU NEED SOME ANCHOVIES? (CHUCKLES) YEAH, I THINK I MIGHT. (CHUCKLES) PAN SIZZLES NICE. REALLY NICE, MATE. AND THE MEATBALLS ARE DONE. BOYS, DINNER! READY TO SERVE? BORN READY. A MEAL FOR SIX MADE ENTIRELY FROM INGREDIENTS FROM THE BOOTH'S CUPBOARDS, AND THERE'S PLENTY MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM. OOH, DADDY! THANK YOU. HERE YOU GO, MATE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIS LOOKS LOVELY. SO, HOWERD, HOW WAS THAT, COOKING WITH GREGG? UM, I THINK I'VE TAUGHT HIM A LOT. WHAT'S IT LIKE, ARRAN? I LIKE EVERYTHING. BUT WHAT WILL THE FAMILY MAKE OF JEN'S AFTERNOON'S WORK? OK, THIS IS... OUR FAMILY MEAL PLANNER! HERE WE GO. CHRIS: OOH! GREGG: HOWERD LOOK AT SATURDAY. LOOK AT SATURDAY. SATURDAY'S MY DAY. THIS IS JUST IN PRINCIPLE, AND WE THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE FUN IF YOU ALL SAT DOWN TOGETHER. I WOULDN'T NORMALLY PLAN, BUT I CAN SEE THE BENEFITS OF DOING IT. AS LONG AS I CAN PLAN WITH YOU,... MM-HM, YEAH. ...AND WE'VE GOT A SPARE DAY, OK. THERE YOU GO. I UNDERSTAND THE MEAL PLANNING'S ABOUT SAVING THE MONEY. IF I GET A DAY OR TWO WHERE I CAN DO WHAT I WANT, THEN I COULD STICK WITH IT. THE SAVING MONEY IS IMPORTANT. WHAT ABOUT A TOAST TO THE NEW PLAN AND THE NEW REGIME? HURRAY! YAY! ALL: CHEERS! WELL, THAT WASN'T SO PAINFUL AFTER ALL. UPBEAT MUSIC AS CHRIS AND GREGG SAW IN THE SUPERMARKET, THE BOOTHS LOVE THEIR SAUSAGES. GETTING THROUGH AROUND 24 A WEEK. BUT THEY'RE NOT ALONE, BECAUSE ALONGSIDE BACON, SAUSAGES ARE A FIRM BRITISH FAVOURITE. UPBEAT MUSIC CONTINUES CHRIS IS IN CHORLEY VISITING A LOCAL FAMILY-RUN BUTCHERS TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEIR SAUSAGES AND MASS-PRODUCED BRANDS. HE'S BROUGHT WITH HIM ONE OF BRITAIN'S TOP-SELLING MASS-PRODUCED SAUSAGES. THEY'RE �3.50 FOR A DOZEN. RIGHT. SO HOW DOES THAT COMPARE, IN TERMS OF COST, TO YOURS? OURS ARE 3.98 PER DOZEN. WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY LOOKING AT A VAST DIFFERENCE IN PRICE. NO, NO. A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY AND TEXTURE AND TASTE. BUT ARE WE GETTING MORE BANGER FOR OUR BUCK FOR THAT EXTRA 48P? FIRST UP FOR ANALYSIS ` A LEADING BRAND. SO, THIS ONE SAYS IT'S GOT 42% PORK. IF THAT'S PURE, PRIME PORK, THAT'S OK, ISN'T IT? YEAH, BUT THERE'S PORK AND THERE'S PORK. IT CAN BE A CONNECTIVE TISSUE, WHICH IS GRISTLE, BASICALLY. GRISTLE IS TOUGH, ELASTIC TISSUE. IT'S GENERALLY REMOVED DURING PROCESSING, BUT IT CAN END UP IN OUR MEAT. AND ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT HARMFUL, IT'S NOT PLEASANT TO EAT. A LAYER OF GRISTLE RUNNING ALONG THERE, GRISTLE IN THERE, GRISTLE UNDER THERE ` WE HAVE TO REMOVE ALL THAT, BUT IN THE MACHINERY THAT THEY USE IN MANUFACTURED SAUSAGES, THAT CAN ALL GO IN, AND IT'S ALL MIXED IN AS A PASTE. THIS, FOR ME, SURELY THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT INTO A SAUSAGE THAT... YEAH. ...PEOPLE ARE FEEDING THEIR KIDS DAY IN, DAY OUT, DOES IT? THAT'S DEFINITELY GRISTLE, AND THAT'S A GLAND IN THERE. THAT WOULD BE SHOVED IN WITH THE REST. WELL, I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T FANCY THAT WITH SOME MASH AND ONION GRAVY, FOR SURE. NO, NO, NOT REALLY. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT THEY'D BE USING AND WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE IN YOUR SAUSAGES? THIS IS OUR TYPE OF MEAT. IT'S JUST PURELY MEAT OFF THE SHOULDER. IT'S 72% PORK. THE COARSENESS OF THE MEAT SHOWS YOU'VE GOT YOURSELF A QUALITY SAUSAGE. CUTTING INTO THE MASS-PRODUCED ONE IS VERY REVEALING. THERE'S A REAL OBVIOUS DIFFERENCE HERE, ISN'T THERE? THE TEXTURE, THE COLOUR, THE CONSISTENCY. THIS IS VERY MUCH MORE A PASTE,... YEAH. ...WHEREAS THIS HAS STILL GOT A REAL TEXTURE TO IT. YOU CAN LITERALLY SEE THE PIECES OF MEAT IN THERE, WHERE YOU JUST COULDN'T FIND IT THERE. IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE. 1 THE BUTCHER'S SAUSAGE HAS A MUCH HIGHER MEAT CONTENT BUT IS MORE EXPENSIVE, AND WITH SAUSAGES ACCOUNTING FOR OVER 850 MILLION MEALS EVERY YEAR IN THE UK, CHRIS HAS SOME IMPORTANT QUESTIONS FOR DIETICIAN LUCY. I WENT TO A FANTASTIC BUTCHER'S IN LANCASHIRE, BUT I WANNA SEE HOW THEY COMPARE NUTRITIONALLY TO A MASS-PRODUCED LEADING BRAND. ONE WAY TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE TWO SAUSAGES IS SIMPLY TO COOK THEM IN A GRILL THAT'S DESIGNED TO GET EVERY INCH OF FAT OFF. WE CAN THEN VISUALLY SEE HOW MUCH FAT COLLECTS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TRAY. AND THE LESS FAT THAT COMES OUT, THE BETTER? FIVE MINUTES LATER... GRILL SIZZLES WOW. LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE IN THAT. THOSE LITTLE BITS THERE,... OH, YEAH. ...AND THIS HUGE AMOUNT IS OFF OUR, UM, MASS-PRODUCED SAUSAGE. BUT IT LITERALLY IS A COUPLE OF DROPS COMPARED TO WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN OLYMPIC SWIMMING POOL AMOUNT OF FAT. THAT'S DISGUSTING. SO WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY TELL US, THOUGH? THAT TELLS US THAT THE MASS-PRODUCED SUPERMARKET SAUSAGE WAS SWIMMING IN FAT AND OIL, WITH VERY LITTLE MEAT CONTENT. IF WE COOKED THAT IN ANY OTHER WAY, LOADS OF THAT WOULD STILL BE IN THERE. UGH. YEAH, IT WOULD, AND REMEMBER, THAT IS ONLY THE FAT THAT'S COME OFF ONE SAUSAGE. AND ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE FAT THAT WE GET IN MEATS LIKE SAUSAGES IS IT'S MORE SATURATED FAT THAN GOOD FAT, SO THAT MEANS IT'S REALLY BAD FOR OUR HEART HEALTH. LOADS OF PEOPLE LOVE SAUSAGES. ARE THEY REALLY THAT BAD? WELL, THEY ARE CATEGORISED AS A PROCESSED MEAT, WHICH MEANS THERE IS QUITE GOOD EVIDENCE NOW LINKING THEM TO BOWEL CANCER RISK. SO, AS MUCH AS WE CAN, WE SHOULD BE LIMITING OUR CONSUMPTION. SO TRYING TO KEEP THEM AS A TREAT FOOD EVERY NOW AND AGAIN IS BETTER THAN INCLUDING THEM ON A DAILY BASIS. IF YOU REALLY CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT SAUSAGES IN YOUR LIFE, WHAT YOU COULD DO IS START ALTERNATING THEM WITH VEGETARIAN SAUSAGES. THESE ARE ACTUALLY A LINCOLNSHIRE SAUSAGE MADE OUT OF SOYA PROTEIN. OH, OK. AND, ACTUALLY, MOST OF US WOULD BENEFIT FROM INCREASING OUR CONSUMPTION OF SOYA, BECAUSE IT HELPS TO REDUCE OUR CHOLESTEROL. GREAT ADVICE. BUT IT'S THE BUTCHER'S SAUSAGE THAT'S WON CHRIS ROUND, AND HE'S CONVINCED THE MEAT-LOVING BOOTHS WILL LIKE IT TOO. MY BUTCHER'S SAUSAGE WORKED OUT AT ONLY 50P PER DOZEN MORE THAN ONE OF THE LEADING BRANDS, AND YOU'VE GOT SUCH A VASTLY SUPERIOR PRODUCT. THAT MUST BE THE ONE TO GO FOR. FINGERS CROSSED. WITH JENNY OUT FOR THE EVENING, HOWERD IS MAKING HIS SON ARRAN'S FAVOURITE MEAL. I'M PREPARING TEA FOR THE BOYS ` SAUSAGES, POTATOES, BROCCOLI, MUSHY PEAS. AND ONLY THE POTATOES HAVEN'T BEEN SWAPPED. THEY LOOK LIKE BUTCHER'S SAUSAGES TO ME. THEY DO LOOK GOOD. THEY'RE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SIZES. LITTLE SAUSAGE. BIG SAUSAGE. SOMEBODY'S PUT 'EM TOGETHER WITH LOVE FOR US. HOWERD, YOUR ENTHUSIASM DESERVES A CELEBRATORY DRINK. IT'S FRIDAY. NORMALLY, A COUPLE OF BEERS WHILE I'M COOKING. AND WE'D NEVER DEPRIVE YOU OF YOUR FRIDAY NIGHT TREAT. (CHUCKLES) FOR THE CHEF. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT ONE. IT'S A SWAP THAT COULD SAVE �2 A PACK. BUT WHAT HE DOESN'T KNOW IS IT'S ALCOHOL-FREE. THAT'S ALL RIGHT. I NEEDED IT. GOOD SIGN. NOW, CAN YOU TELL WHETHER WE'VE SWAPPED YOUR TINNED VEGE? WE LIKE MUSHY PEAS. THAT'S WHY THE DOG'S NAMED MUSHY PEA. IT'S QUITE A STAPLE IN OUR HOUSE. FIRST IMPRESSIONS ` YOU'VE GOT ME ON THIS ONE. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE WHAT WE NORMALLY HAVE OR NOT. THEY DO LOOK A BIT WATERY... AND NOT` NOT PARTICULARLY MUSHY. WE'LL HAVE TO SEE WHAT THEY TASTE LIKE ON THOSE. AT 16P, IT'S A SAVING OF 34P A TIN. BARGAIN. HOW'S THAT BEER GOING DOWN? COLD, REFRESHING,... BUT IT'S A BIT GASSIER THAN NORMAL, I'M SURE. IT'S NOT QUITE AS GOOD AS NORMAL. NOT AS MUCH... BEER IN THIS. MM, YOU COULD BE ON TO SOMETHING. HERE YOU GO. PUT IT ON THE TABLE. OK. GOOD BOY. BUT THE TOMATO ON THE TABLE! GEO! COME ON! TEA'S READY! EVEN WITH PRICIER, BETTER QUALITY SAUSAGES, THERE'S STILL A �4 SAVING ACROSS THE WHOLE MEAL. THAT'S OVER �200 A YEAR. THERE YOU GO. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE SAUSAGES, PROFESSOR SAUSAGE? I LOVE THEM. LET'S TRY ONE. CUTLERY CLINKS THEY ARE GOOD. YEAH, I LIKE THOSE. YEAH. THE GRAVY TASTED NEARLY THE SAME AS THE NORMAL ONE. DOES IT? THE PEAS ARE WATERY, AND I DON'T THINK THEY'RE AS GOOD AS NORMAL. SO... BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK, ARRAN? YEAH, I LIKE THE PEAS. YOU LIKE THE PEAS? GOOD. AND WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR TOMATO SAUCE? IS IT GOOD? YEAH. MM. THE KETCHUP'S WAY BETTER THAN THE OLD ONE. IS IT? CHA-CHING. THE SAUSAGES, I` I LOVED THEM. I REALLY DID LOVE THEM. THE POTATOES WERE JUST REALLY NICE. I DON'T THINK THEY WERE THE SAME, BUT THEY WERE REALLY NICE. THE WORST BIT WAS THE PEAS. TEA WAS A SUCCESS. UH, THERE'S HARDLY ANYTHING LEFT AT ALL. THUMBS UP. UPBEAT MUSIC THE BOOTHS GET THROUGH SEVEN TO 10 LOAVES A WEEK AND USUALLY BUY FRESHLY BAKED OR A PREMIUM BRAND, WHICH CAN BE THREE TIMES THE PRICE OF A VALUE OPTION. CHRIS AND GREGG WANT TO KNOW IF BREAD IS A PRODUCT WE NEED TO SPEND MONEY ON. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT BREAD? CERTAINLY, I FEEL GUILTY BUYING THE STANDARD, SORT OF, WHITE SLICED. DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE IN, LIKE, A SANDWICH SHOP, AND THEY GO, 'DO YOU WANT ON WHITE OR BROWN OR RYE OR WHOLEMEAL?' OR WHATEVER, I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE OBLIGATED TO GO, YOU KNOW, 'OH, YEAH, WHOLEMEAL,' OR WHATEVER, WHEN ACTUALLY, PROBABLY, DEEP DOWN, I'M GOING, 'I THINK I'LL HAVE IT ON WHITE.' WELL, I'VE STOPPED EATING IT AS MUCH COS SOMEBODY TOLD ME IT BLOATS YOU. AND OTHER PEOPLE SAY, YOU KNOW, IT'S QUITE FATTENING. SALES OF BREAD ARE IN DECLINE. BUT LUCY'S ON HAND TO REASSURE US WITH A FEW SURPRISING FACTS. LUCY, CAN YOU TEACH US ABOUT BREAD? COS, OBVIOUSLY, WE KNOW NOTHING. DOES BREAD BLOAT ME? DOES IT MAKE MY BELLY BIGGER? NO, EATING TOO MUCH BLOATS YOU. PEOPLE WITH AN ACTUAL WHEAT INTOLERANCE OR THINGS LIKE COELIAC DISEASE CAN SUFFER WITH BLOATING AS A RESULT OF CONSUMING BREAD. THAT'S A REAL, REAL MINORITY OF THE POPULATION. AND, ACTUALLY, MOST OF PEOPLE'S BLOATING IS EITHER DUE TO HORMONAL FLUCTUATIONS, IRREGULAR MEALS, EATING TOO MUCH, AND STRESS. ARE YOU FEELING HORMONAL, GREGG? CHRIS AND LUCY LAUGH IS IT BAD FOR US? NO. BREAD'S A REALLY IMPORTANT PART OF OUR DIET. IT CONTRIBUTES ABOUT 20% OF THE AMOUNT OF FIBRE WE EAT. IT'S A REALLY VALUABLE SOURCE OF CALCIUM. IT'S A RICH SOURCE OF IRON. SO, HANG ON A MINUTE. SO EATING BREAD, GENERALLY, ISN'T BAD FOR US. NO. I THINK BREAD HAS GOT AN UNFAIR BOUT IN THE MEDIA RECENTLY. AND, ACTUALLY, THE INDUSTRY ITSELF HAS GONE A LONG WAY TO IMPROVE THE COMPOSITION OF BREAD. SO IF YOU LOOKED SINCE THE MID-1980s, BREAD NOW IS ACTUALLY ABOUT 40% LOWER IN SALT THAN IT WAS THEN. SO, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF BREAD HERE. FROM A NUTRITIONAL PERSPECTIVE, WHICH ONE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND? THIS THINLY SLICED CRUSTY ONE, I PRESUME. (CHUCKLES) WELL, THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THEY WOULD ALL BE A REALLY GOOD CHOICE FOR YOUR HEALTH. THERE IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER CALCIUM IN THE WHITE, SLIGHTLY HIGHER IRON IN THE BROWN, BUT IT'S NOT GONNA MAKE A HUGE AMOUNT OF DIFFERENCE. IS IT WORTH MIXING AND MATCHING BETWEEN, LIKE, A WHOLEMEAL AND A WHITE BREAD? I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. IT'S A WAY OF GETTING THE CHILDREN USED TO HAVING OCCASIONAL BROWN BREAD WITHOUT THERE HAVING TO BE A BLANKET RULE THAT ONE SIZE FITS ALL. AND WHOLEMEAL WILL ALSO BOOST YOUR FIBRE INTAKE, IMPORTANT FOR GUT HEALTH AND REDUCING RISK OF ILLNESSES, SUCH AS HEART DISEASE AND STROKE. LET ME GET THIS RIGHT ` THERE ARE BREADS ALL OVER THE TABLE, SOME AS MUCH AS 1.35, 1.40. THIS CHEAP WHITE ONE HERE IS 47P. THERE IS NO REASON AT ALL WHY I CAN'T BUY THE VALUE SLICED WHITE BREAD? THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AT ALL? NO, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. AND IN SOME CASES, A THIRD OF THE PRICE. YES. BUYING VALUE WHITE OR BROWN BREAD COULD SAVE THE BOOTHS AROUND �300 A YEAR. IN CHORLEY, THE FOOD SWAP EXPERIMENT IS DRAWING TO A CLOSE, AND MOST OF THE FOOD'S BEEN GOING DOWN WELL... I'D NORMALLY HAVE A BEER AT THIS POINT, BUT I'M NOT DRINKING THAT MUCK. ...APART FROM HOWERD'S NO-ALCOHOL BEER. HE'S OFF-DUTY, AS JENNY TAKES OVER THE KITCHEN, MAKING CHEESEBURGERS. THE BOYS LIKE IT, AND, UM, IT'S SOMETHING I CAN DO. THE BOOTH'S PREMIUM BRAND BURGERS HAVE BEEN SWAPPED FOR BUTCHER'S BURGERS. BUT CAN THEY TELL? THEY'RE EITHER SUPER, SUPER, MEGA, MEGA CHEAP THINGS THAT YOU GET IN A BURGER VAN LATE AT NIGHT AFTER TOO MANY SHERBETS, OR THEY'RE FROM A BUTCHER'S COUNTER. SO I'M NOT SURE. IN THE BOOTH HOUSEHOLD, YOU CAN'T HAVE A BURGER WITHOUT A TASTY BIT OF CHEDDAR, AND AS GREGG AND CHRIS SAW IN THE SUPERMARKET, DESPITE A HUGE RANGE ON OFFER, JENNY AND HOWERD ARE DRAWN TO POPULAR BRANDS. OH, HOWERD, WE NEED CHEESE. IS THAT A GOOD PRICE? THAT'S MORE EXPENSIVE, BUT YOU NEED LESS OF IT. IT'S BETTER. WE EAT LOADS AND LOADS OF CHEESE. WE'LL HAVE SOME CHEESEBURGERS. IF THAT'S CHEAPER, WE MIGHT KEEP THAT ONE. THE BOYS LIKE CHEESE. I WON'T EVEN ASK THEM IF THEY WANT A CHEESEBURGER. THE ANSWER WILL BE YES. KEEPING THE CHEAPER CHEESE AND BURGERS WOULD GIVE THE BOOTHS A YEARLY SAVING OF NEARLY �125. RIGHT, GEO, ARRAN. COME AND SIT DOWN. (GROANS) IF ALL GOES DOWN WELL, THE SAVINGS MADE WILL PAY FOR THE BOOTH BOYS TO HAVE THEIR OWN BEDROOMS. THAT BURGER'S GOOD. IT'S DIFFERENT. IT'S DIFFERENT TO WHAT WE USUALLY HAVE. ARRAN, DO YOU LIKE IT? I LIKE IT. I THINK THESE ARE MUCH BETTER THAN NORMAL. YOU KNOW, I REALLY LIKE THOSE. I'D PREFER A JUICY, THICKER NORMAL BEEF` FROZEN BEEF BURGERS. THAT'S NOT THE SPIRIT, JENNY. IF YOU WERE TO KEEP THE SWAPPED BURGERS, CHEESE, RELISH AND CRISPS, YOU'D SAVE �5.94 PER MEAL. THAT'S OVER �308 A YEAR. I ENJOYED THAT MEAL MORE THAN NORMAL BECAUSE JEN DID THE COOKING FOR A CHANGE, WHICH IS NICE, AND IT TASTED GREAT. THE CHEESE WAS GOOD. IT'S NOT AS STRONG AS I NORMALLY LIKE, BUT IT'S STILL TASTY. FINE, YEAH. MY ONLY WORRY IS, UH, THAT BEER'S RUBBISH. DON'T LIKE IT. BUT AT LEAST YOU DIDN'T MAKE A FUSS ABOUT THE CHEAPER CHEDDAR. 1 WHEN IT COMES TO MEAL TIMES, THE BOOTHS HAVE BEEN IN THE CAPABLE HANDS OF GREGG AND CHRIS. TA-DA! SOME HAVE GONE DOWN WELL. IT'S REALLY YUMMY. OH, GOOD, GEO. WE'VE GOT A FAN. OTHERS, LIKE THE VEGE SAUSAGES, WERE A FLOP. I DON'T THINK I LIKE THE SAUSAGES THAT MUCH. THE SAUSAGE IS AWFUL. URBAN ELECTRONICA MUSIC (WHISTLES) IT'S CRUNCH TIME FOR GREGG AND CHRIS, AS THEY HEAD TO THE BOOTH'S FOR THE FINAL TIME. EUSTON, PLEASE, MATE. FOOD IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO THIS FAMILY, AND WE'VE MADE SOME FAIRLY BIG CHANGES. IT'S IMPORTANT TO THEM, BUT THEN SO IS SAVING MONEY. IT'S VITALLY IMPORTANT TO THEM. THE BOOTHS WILL ONLY SAVE MONEY ON THEIR FINAL SHOPPING BILL IF THEY DECIDE TO KEEP A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF THE FOOD AND DRINK WE'VE SWAPPED. I'M HOPEFUL THAT WHEN GREGG AND CHRIS SHOW US WHAT WE'VE BEEN EATING, THAT WE'VE DONE THE RIGHT THINGS. I HOPE WE DON'T JUST LIKE ALL THE EXPENSIVE STUFF. IT'S ULTIMATELY DOWN TO THEM. IF THEY DON'T LIKE THE FOOD SWAPS, IF THEY WON'T STICK TO A FOOD PLAN, THEN IT'S ALL GONNA GO BELLY-UP. I KNOW, AND WE WILL END UP LOOKING PRETTY FOOLISH. IT'S SCARY. IT'S SCARY COS IT MIGHT NOT WORK. (RINGS DOORBELL) I REALLY HOPE THAT WE CAN SAVE THIS FAMILY SOME MONEY. WELL, BOYS, THE MOMENT OF TRUTH IS CLOSE. HOW DID YOU GET ON WITH A BIT OF A FOOD SWAP THAT WE SET UP? I ENJOYED IT. THE PROOF WAS THAT MOST OF IT GOT EATEN, SO THAT'S GOOD. AND DO YOU THINK IT WAS HARDER OR EASIER THAN YOU THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE? I S'POSE IT MAKES YOU MORE AWARE OF WHAT YOU'RE EATING. WE BECAME ANALYTICAL SCIENTISTS ` OBSESSED WITH WHAT WE EAT, CONSTANTLY THINKING ABOUT EVERYTHING. IT'S CHALLENGING THE NORM, ISN'T IT? EVERYONE GOES ALONG IN THEIR LIFE, DOES THE SAME THING ALL THE TIME, SO, YEAH, IT'S CHALLENGING WHAT YOU DO AND WHY. YEAH. SHOULD WE SHOW YOU SOME OF THE STUFF WE SWAPPED AND SOME OF THE STUFF WE DIDN'T? YEAH, GO ON. DYING TO KNOW. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. I'M SCARED THAT I'VE BEEN MUGGED. OOH! (GROANS) WE LIKE TO KEEP YOU ON YOUR TOES, BUT ONLY TO PROVE IT'S GOOD TO TRY NEW THINGS. LET ME START OFF, IF I CAN, WITH SOMETHING YOU REALLY DIDN'T LIKE. THE JAM. I WASN'T RIGHT KEEN ON THE JAM. THE JAM'S OK. I'M NOT MAD ABOUT IT. IT'S JUST NOT GREAT, I DON'T THINK. IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME JAM... (LAUGHS) ...THAT YOU'VE ALWAYS HAD. OH. OH, RIGHT. (GROANS) I'VE ALWAYS HATED IT. (LAUGHS) I DON'T KNOW WHY WE'D BUY THAT. IT'S A DIFFICULT QUESTION FROM ME ` ARE YOU GONNA KEEP THE JAM YOU USED TO LIKE AND THEN DIDN'T LIKE ONCE YOU THOUGHT WE SWAPPED IT? UH, NO, WE'RE GETTING RID OF IT. BOTH CHUCKLE NOT ALL OF BREAKFAST BOMBED. WHOA. YEP, NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. HOW MUCH CHEAPER ARE THEY? (CHUCKLES) YEAH, KEEP THEM. YEAH, KEEPER. WHOA, YEAH. I WOULDN'T PICK THOSE UP IN THAT PACKET NORMALLY, SO I'M` I'VE GOT MUG WRITTEN ON ME HEAD NOW. ONCE YOU CHALLENGE PEOPLE'S PERCEPTIONS JENNY AND HOWERD: YEAH. THE BOX WOULD PUT YOU OFF. YEAH. WHAT'S INSIDE IT IS FINE. THEY ARE FLAKES OF CORN. WE'RE KEEPING THESE? JENNY AND HOWERD: YES. WHOO-HOO. WHOOP, WHOOP! SWAPPING THE USUAL BRAND SAVES ANOTHER �77 A YEAR. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE ALL-IMPORTANT ORANGE JUICE? RIGHT, LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT YOU DRANK. THIS IS ORANGE JUICE FROM CONCENTRATE. BUT THIS ONE IS �1.83 CHEAPER THAN YOU BUY. THAT'S A HUGE AMOUNT. WE DRINK QUITE A LOT OF ORANGE JUICE,... MM. ...SO THAT'S A GREAT SAVING. MM. THAT'S A KEEP, FOR ME. YEAH, DEFINITELY. YEAH. KEEP THAT. GOOD MOVE, HOWERD. YOU GET THROUGH FOUR LITRES A WEEK, SO THAT'S A YEARLY SAVE OF OVER �380. THE VEGETARIAN SAUSAGES DIDN'T GO DOWN WELL. THE SAUSAGE IS AWFUL. BUT WHAT DID THEY THINK OF THE BUTCHER'S MEAT SAUSAGES? SAUSAGES. YES. VERY IMPORTANT TO OUR HOUSEHOLD, SAUSAGES. WE DID, IN FACT, SUBSTITUTE YOUR SAUSAGES. MM-HM. THESE ARE ACTUALLY FROM YOUR LOCAL BUTCHER. OH RIGHT. THEY'RE WAY BETTER, WAY BETTER, FRESHER, BETTER QUALITY. THEY JUST FELT LIKE A SAUSAGE WORTHY OF A MAIN MEAL. AND DO YOU THINK THEY'D BE DEARER THAN THE ONES YOU'D NORMALLY BUY? YES, DEFINITELY, YEAH. YOU ARE RIGHT. THEY ARE SLIGHTLY DEARER AND ONLY BY 50P. WOW, THAT'S REALLY GOOD. THEY'RE A VASTLY, VASTLY SUPERIOR PRODUCT. SO ARE WE GONNA KEEP OUR LOCAL BUTCHER'S SAUSAGES? YES. DEFINITELY, YES. WELL DONE. WELL DONE. GOOD CALL. THEY'RE MORE EXPENSIVE, BUT SOMETIMES IT'S WORTH PAYING MORE. SO, YOU COOKED BURGERS ONE NIGHT? I DID. AGAIN FROM YOUR LOCAL BUTCHER. YAY. DO YOU THINK THEY'D BE DEARER? DEARER OR THE SAME. THEY ARE IN ACTUAL FACT... WOW. OH, THAT'S GOOD, ISN'T IT? THEY WERE ACE. YEAH, DEFINITELY BUY THOSE AGAIN. GOING WITH THE BUTCHER'S BURGERS STRIPS ANOTHER �67 OFF THE ANNUAL BILL. RIGHT, I'VE GOT DRINKS IN HERE. HOW'D YOU GET ON WITH THAT BEER? BIN IT. BIN IT, BIN IT, BIN IT. OTHERS LAUGH OH-HO-HO! IT'S A BIT GASSIER THAN NORMAL, NOT AS MUCH BEER IN THIS. DO YOU WANNA SEE WHAT IT WAS? YEAH. ALCOHOL-FREE. (LAUGHS) THAT BLEW ME UP LIKE A BALLOON. THAT WAS HORRIBLE. IT'S ALCOHOL-FREE? GET RID. ALL LAUGH NO ONE WILL WANT IT. NOT EVEN IF I SHOW YOU THE COST DIFFERENCE? (CHUCKLES) I'D RATHER DO WITHOUT. THAT'D SAVE ME MORE. WE THOUGHT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO MAKE YOU HEALTHIER. BUT WE DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE YOU UNHAPPIER. NO. (CHUCKLES) THE BOOTHS DECIDED TO KEEP THREE-QUARTERS OF THE FOOD THAT WE GAVE THEM. NO BRAINER. WE'D KEEP THAT. IT'S GOOD. THEY WERE WON ROUND TO CHEAPER BRANDS OF CHEESE AND KETCHUP. I'M TAKING IT FOR GRANTED WE'RE KEEPING THIS, GUYS, ARE WE? DEFINITELY, YEAH. THAT'S A KEEPER. COS THAT'S MENTAL. JENNY AND HOWERD: YEAH. BUT THE VEGE SAUSAGES... NOT FOR ME. ...AND A FEW OTHER ITEMS WERE TURNED DOWN FLAT. ARE YOU GONNA KEEP THIS TEA? NO! CHRIS: BEFORE YOU REJECT IT OUTRIGHT,... NO! (CHUCKLES) NO! LAUGHTER NOT EVEN OPEN TO IT. NOT LISTENING! NOT LISTENING. NICE TRY, CHRIS. TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE FOODS THEY LIKED, GREGG AND CHRIS HAVE THE TOTAL OF THEIR NEW WEEKLY SHOPPING BILL. WHEN WE FIRST MET YOU, YOU WERE SPENDING OVER �260 A WEEK. CAN I ASK YOU ` HOW MUCH DID YOU WANNA SAVE FOR YOUR EXTENSION, A WEEK? 40, WASN'T IT? �160 A MONTH. AS MUCH AS YOU CAN GET US. YEAH! (CHUCKLES) HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK WE'VE MANAGED TO SAVE YOU? 3` 20 OR 30 A WEEK, I THINK. YEAH. IF WE COULD SAVE YOU �40 A WEEK, THAT COULD BE A LIFE-CHANGING AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR YOU. MM. MM. SO WE HAVE MANAGED TO SAVE YOU AN EXTRAORDINARY �74 A WEEK. 74? REALLY? JUST UNDER �4000 A YEAR. AW. THAT'S BRILLIANT. YEAH. THAT'S THE PAY RISE I'VE NEVER HAD. THIS IS THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG FOR US. HOPEFULLY, NOW YOU'VE HAD YOUR EYES OPENED, YOU CAN TAKE THIS ON AND SAVE YOURSELF EVEN MORE MONEY. IT'S LIMITLESS. LIFE'S ONLY GONNA GET BETTER. YEAH. AND YOU'RE GONNA STOP HOARDING, AND STOCKTAKE.

YEAH. WE SHOULD TRY THINGS. YEAH, AND IGNORE THE SPECIAL OFFERS, COS GREGG'S RIGHT THAT, OK, IT MIGHT BE TWO FOR �1.50, BUT THERE MIGHT BE A VALUE BRAND THAT'S ONLY 50P ANYWAY. FANCY A BEER? (CHUCKLES) FANCY A BEER? IT'S THOUSANDS A YEAR, SO IT'S SIGNIFICANT IN ANYBODY'S BOOK. MM. YEAH. YEAH, AND` AND WE'RE NOT WORSE OFF FOR IT. YOU KNOW? WE'RE ACTUALLY EATING JUST AS WELL, SO BRILLIANT.
