As MoneySaving Towers was having new windows fitted on Friday I was working from home. And after returning from doing freebies on Radio 2 I was on the phone to the producer of my next Tonight with Trevor which is on Supermarket Shopping Secrets. One of the big issues we’re investigating is what the scale of difference is in supermarket branding and the impact of the downshift challenge. Thankfully, the moment he called to chat through it, I admitted I was in the middle of opening a can of mushroom soup for a quick lunch. He asked “Who made it?” It was Asda Own Brand!

I was in a studio filming links for a new ‘Tonight’ on Supermarket Shopping Secrets yesterday. As I was there “asking for water” because I was so hot under the bright lights, and wired up to the mikes so I couldn’t move, it reminded me of the first time I was what is known as ‘the talent’.... -
After preaching “don’t trust your bank” for years, it’s depressing people started at the wrong moment!
18 September 2007![]()
A sizeable proportion of my professional career as MoneySavingExpert has been spent disabusing the notion that you should trust a bank. In fact when doing the Teen Cash Class for ITV, lesson number one was that “a company’s job is to make money from you, not to help you; you need to understand this to be a...
