Shop Well for Less is in Evesham with our biggest family ever! John, 46, and Caroline, 44, are proud parents to their eight children: Ellena 20, Joshua 18, Daniel 14, Finley 10, Henry 9, Sophia 7, Florence 5 and finally Emilia, who is 20 months.

With 10 people living under one roof, Caroline and John are already super savvy when it comes to spending, but they’re discovering that as the kids get bigger, so do the costs that come with them. Spending every penny on day-to-day living means saving is hard. Can Alex and Steph show this price-conscious couple that it is still possible to be savvy and help them put money aside for the new bathroom that Caroline dreams of having?
