Quick tip, if you’re not buying or selling a house I wouldn’t even bother with watching homes under the hammer to save money as you’ll just lose hours from your day!

I love these shows, tv shows about debt, helping save money at home, save money buying food and so much more. Take a look at my money saving must watch shows below.

Bargain Hunt

So I feel like everyone has watched Bargain hunt at least once in their lives and it’s a pretty good show to watch. They run a round finding all these weird and wonderful items and sell them at auction! Fun right?

The aim of the game is to make as much money as possible and sometimes they find a diamond in the rough and make a fortune. If you’re a fan of bootsales then this is the show for you! You might find something cheap one day that you’ve seen sell for a fortune on Bargain Hunt!

You’ll find yourself cheering on either the red or blue team, and you’re bound to learn a thing or two every episode as well! Save money with Bargain Hunt, or make money with Bargain Hunt, it’s up to you!

Bargain Hunt Presenters

See this is something that always confuses me as they keep changing, Tim Wonnacott who you can see below will forever be the original presenter for me however he did take over from David Dickinson.

However Bargain hunt have since been through quite a few presenters, Thomas Plant, Christina Trevanion, Charlie Ross, Paul Laidlaw, Natasha Raskin, Anita Manning, Charles Hanson and Eric Knowles. As you can see Bargain Hunt have had quite the line up when it comes to presenters.

Money For Nothing

A recent discovery that I love! Sarah Moore goes around recycling centres picking up everyday junk that people are throwing away in order to turn them into something new! It takes upcycling to a whole new level and I love it, so much so that I have the series on record.

I must add that she gets special permission from the tip to go around asking people for the junk out of their cars if you did the same you may get arrested! Which is a shame because the wonders that come out of what she finds are amazing. It’s amazing what she finds and literally makes money from nothing!

In the episode I just watched she turned some old coffee sacks into something amazing, and them chairs!! I don’t want to spoil it so I’d suggest getting the TV on and finding out for yourself.

Now she doesn’t do it alone, she has help from some amazing professionals but the stuff they do with the rubbish people are throwing away, breath taking! If you love to upcycle and can’t get enough of cool creations, you really need to check out Money for Nothing and don’t waste.

Money for nothing designers

If you fancy checking out a favourite from the show you need to look at Neil Wragg who creates masterpieces! After a new bag? Check him out! However there are other designers, let’s name a few from the money or nothing TV show.

Zoe Murphy who constructs mid-century furniture, rejuvenating it with her unique and instantly recognisable bright, colourful prints.

Anthony Devine has worked in the furniture making and upholstery industry for nineteen years, and runs the UK’s leading Upholstery school – Ministry of Upholstery, how cool does that sound!

Eat Well for Less

A very personal favourite of mine and one that we’re always watching in my house. Eat Well for Less is amazing if you’re looking to cut back on your food bill. I love how shocked the family looks at the end when they find out how much money they can actually be saving all year round.

I also love it when they’re trying the food throughout the show and they’re sure that they are eating food they’re not used to, when it turns out it’s the same food they’ve been eating for years!

If you’re looking to cut down on your shopping bill and not too sure where or how to start? I’d suggest watching a few episodes and picking up some tricks.

Gregg and Chris really make the show what it is, I have to say though one big tip that they really drive home is not going for main brands and to maybe swap where you shop! I mean when I changed supermarkets we ended up saving roughly £300 a month! That’s mental right, if not for this show I wouldn’t have made half the changes I have! Plus who doesn’t love to eat healthy for less I know I do!

Eat Well For Less Book

Who knew that eat well for less had a cook book, I didn’t until I found out of course and it’s great! It just shows that you can eat for less like they say. The cook book is so great it should be eat more for less! The eat well for less vegetable stew is also to die for! If I was you I’d get the book and have a look for yourself. It also seems that they bring a book out every year, taking on what they learned from the show.

Totally check them out, I only have the latest version but I’ll probably get the others as well! Below you’ll be able to find the links to Eat Well For Less (book 1), Eat Well for less: family feasts on a budget (book 2) and eat well for less: quick and easy meals (book 3). Myself, I do love my eat well for less cook book!
