Not real... but it's bingeworthy.

I loved Extreme Cheapskates, so when I saw this on Discovery+ I immediately had to watch it! I honestly thought it was great the entire time, it had just the right amount of cringe to keep me hooked. I honestly thought some of it was believable until I decided to look for these people on Facebook... That's when I realized it's not even them being cheap and just amping it up for the cameras; I'm pretty sure Brittney and Shane aren't even married. I somehow found Brittney's grandmother's Facebook, and Ashley wasn't even married in the rat pee pawn shop dress! She wore a strapless dress and was at a nice venue for her big day. The biggest drawback of this show for me was that the network could've picked actual cheapskates having some kind of big event or big purchase to take their spot. The fake stuff needs to go; that's not what reality tv should be. Shame on y'all.

I should also add that I hated that Becky refused to learn what a load-bearing wall was. Now people all over are gonna try to rip out walls in their homes and destroy them. Y'all could have educated her and filmed it????

Additionally, Angela is INSANE for letting a man tell her what she can and cannot do with her own money. He doesn't seem like he pulls his weight, and he's constantly embarrassing you, so why are you even with this bum??

The Trans did no wrong. That is all.

So Freakin' Fake

I watched the first episode after seeing the trailer and thinking that it looked like nonsense with the woman in a hazmat suit dumpster diving for sachets of mayo and the guy ironing his trousers with a frying pan. Both looked faked for the camera and I was right. A true cheapskate wouldn't waste money on a hazmat suit to dumpster dive and wouldn't bother ironing their trousers.

Time isn't cheap so don't waste it on this rubbish.

Disappointed

I was expecting this to be at least similar to Extreme Cheapskates. Not. Even. Close. Scripted!! So disappointed.

Waste of time and rude people

I gave it a chance and the first episode or two were bearable. I finally had enough when the Tran family did a "spa day" at a massage chair store and were giving the mother a manicure as she sat in a massage chair. It's so over the top and disrespectful to store owners and employees with wasting their time and getting free services without intentions of paying just like with the ice cream samples. It's either fake or staged or just sociopathic people and either way, I don't care to see this sham of a show anymore. The other families were just as bad too.

Fake show, unwatchable garbage

This is so fake, scripted and unwatchable. Makes no sense, there are no real people like this. Loved ultimate cheapskates but this reality show is horrible.
