Season 2 2017

Alex and Steph head to Glasgow to meet the Rodger family. Event organiser Colin and dance lecturer Karen are parents to three sets of twins. This supersized family are desperate for their first holiday abroad, but they need to get their spending in check if this dream is to become a reality. Karen's addiction to shoes is rubbing off on the kids, and when it comes to technology, Colin always opts for the brand leader. While the family are out, Alex and Steph take a sneaky peek inside the house and make a pop-up shop with all the things the family already own to get them to face up to their spending. The family want to change, and we've put them to the ultimate test. All their usual branded products have had their labels removed and have been replaced with substitutes to open their eyes to alternatives. But will the family like Alex and Steph's changes?

Alex and Steph head to north London to meet Kevin and Yolanda. This shopping-obsessed couple are desperate to save some money for their upcoming wedding. Having recently lost 16 stone between them, new-found confidence has led to a shopping obsession, each of them buying new clothes to flatter their new frames. To reveal just how much stuff there is, Alex and Steph have gone into the house and taken their possessions to stock a pop-up shop. Yolanda and Kevin can't believe it when they walk in and find everything out on display. When they are confronted with how much they have spent, they are left shocked. Alex and Steph swap Kevin and Yolanda's products for unbranded substitutes to show where they can spend less, but not all the products have been changed. Will they be able to spot the difference? And will they make the changes needed to save for their wedding?

Alex and Steph are in north Wales to meet the Williams family. Katy, Wayne and eight-year-old Holly are living a life of luxury with a home jam-packed with designer brands. Alex and Steph make it their mission to change the family's ways. They set up a pop-up shop filled with the family's belongings, which leaves Katy and Wayne shocked. To really challenge them, Alex and Steph take away their usual brands and repackage them. Some are cheaper but others are the same to really put them to the test. Alex and Steph also take away a lot of the family's luxuries, from expensive nights out to essential hairpieces - even Katy's beloved Land Rover isn't safe. But do the shock tactics prove to the Williams that they can spend less and still enjoy the lifestyle they're accustomed to?

Alex Jones and Steph McGovern are on a mission to help families change the way they shop without changing their lifestyle. They are in Surrey with John and Flo and their three children. A drop in income coupled with a reliance on credit means the family need help to get back in the black. The sooner the family start reining in their spending the better, so Alex and Steph debrand their home, replacing many of their favourite products with cheaper alternatives.

Alex Jones and Steph McGovern help the Parmar family from North London, who are addicted to brand labels, and try to convince them that cheaper alternatives can be just as good by giving their house a new look and organising a pop-up shop of their belongings. Plus, Professor Avi Shankar reveals how companies use packaging to catch the customers' eye, as five travel mugs are put through their paces to see which one comes out on top, and Alex gets the Parmar's to blind test three stand mixers to see if price really does equal quality.

In the final episode, Alex Jones and Steph McGovern help the Murphy family in the West Midlands rein in their spending. Teaching assistant Kerry's online shopping habits are out of control, so Alex and Steph show her different approaches to purchasing goods online that will hopefully save the family some much-needed cash, as they save up for a family holiday in Florida. Last in the series.
