Britain is struggling through the toughest financial times since world war two – but we’ve forgotten how to be clever with our money. In this series we’re showing people how to make their money go further.

We’ve got Britain’s most wasteful families and an army of “superscrimpers” who have thrifty secrets about how to cut down and be clever with their cash. Will making these families go 'cold turkey', not spending a penny for a whole week, prove that they too can become SuperScrimpers, or will it all end in tears?

We’re also hitting the high street to encourage people to be upfront and honest about their personal finances, revealing to the great British public the shocking totals of their daily spending habits.
