Greenlit: SuperCouponers, Channel 4

SuperCouponers w/t (1 x 60′ pilot) – As summer sets in, families across the UK are gearing up for their much coveted summer holidays. But escaping to sunnier climes doesn’t come cheap. This show follows families who are dedicated to making as many savings as possible on their holidays.

From couponers to blaggers, penny pinchers to hard-core hagglers, these supersavers will do whatever it takes to cut costs for their week in the sun. Following two competing families in the lead up to and during their holiday at the same popular foreign destination, we’ll see who can make the most savings based on the average price of a holiday for the area.

Meanwhile, closer to home, the programme will also follow two couples on a ‘staycation’ here in the UK to see what savings can be made on getaways on our own shores.

Whether it’s maximising the free breakfast buffet at the hotel, shrewdly shopping for rental car deals, to saving up coupons to get into the best attractions and adding stop-overs onto air travel, the crucial verdict will not only be who has had the cheapest holiday, but also who had the best time and secured the best value for money over all.
