00:00Woohoo!
00:02Rich holidays
00:02Look at that!
00:04I can't imagine waking up to that every morning!
00:06Are the stuff of dreams
00:07Oh my God!
00:09We've got our own plunge pool size!
00:12But can cheap getaways
00:14be just as fun?
00:16I'm having a good time!
00:18I'm not getting in that!
00:19For the first time, wealthy jet-setters
00:22This is the life!
00:23And hard-up holiday-makers
00:25They do look really posh
00:28travel together on two wildly different trips
00:31Do you guys drink alcohol?
00:33No
00:33At all?
00:34No
00:34To experience each other's idea of the perfect break
00:38The universe is really powerful
00:40If only positivity could pay the bills
00:42Can the rich rough it?
00:44There is no way on God's green earth
00:46that you or me are going in this
00:48Can the less wealthy stomach lavish luxury?
00:51I'm gonna be sick
00:52I hate that you made me touch seafood, how about that?
00:55And at the end
00:56A hundred and thirty-four thousand
00:58You could buy my house and landscape my garden
01:02Will one family's holiday heaven
01:04Give me off, give me off, give me off, give me off
01:06Be another's holiday hell?
01:08Let's get mash off
01:09Absolutely not
01:10This is possibly going to be the worst holiday I've ever been on
01:19Pool
01:19The most expensive coastal location in the UK
01:24Home to successful single mum Katie and her 17 year old daughter Lola
01:28Lola says I am not a normal mum
01:31I mean she gets annoyed that her mates fancy me
01:33Which is kind of embarrassing
01:35She's got a different lifestyle to a lot of mums
01:37Go out a lot more
01:39And party too much
01:41Yeah
01:42It's not the typical family I'd say
01:44But I like it in that way
01:45Hmm
01:46It's not fun
01:48Lola is studying for her A-levels
01:50Whilst entrepreneur Katie started her own marketing agency six years ago
01:56I'm very ambitious
01:57I'm just a bit of a risk taker
01:59And the risks have paid off
02:01The business on a typical month
02:03Will do anything between fifty thousand and a hundred and fifty thousand
02:06It enables me to give more to Lola
02:09Have a lot more freedom
02:10And a lot more fun as well
02:13Katie spends the hard earned cash on looking good
02:16I run my own business
02:18I have my own money
02:20What I get to spend it on is up to me
02:22I am obsessed with sunglasses
02:24My whole sunglasses collection is around five thousand pounds
02:28And you have to have Chanel in your life in some form so
02:33As for holidays Katie can drop fifteen grand on a single trip
02:38I'm probably out of the country ten, twelve times a year
02:42Thanks to the bank of mum
02:44The pair have travelled the globe
02:46And Lola expects nothing but the best
02:49I definitely do prefer staying in five star luxury hotels
02:52These two might be holidayaholics
02:55Problem is Katie is also a workaholic
02:58One thing Lola gets really annoyed with me about on holiday is continuing to work
03:03I cannot go on holiday without taking my laptop
03:07It's frustrating
03:07I think I'd like some actual holiday time
03:10I need to get better at that
03:12When it comes to holidaying with strangers
03:15What are they most worried about?
03:17My worst nightmare of a holiday would probably be camping
03:20Like holidays to relax and I feel like camping is just stressful
03:25Over 100 miles away in Coventry
03:28Live cash strapped couple Chris and Danny
03:31A tattoo artist who have been together over five years
03:34I met Chris as a friend
03:36And I think Chris fancied me for a bit
03:38Because he was getting tattooed by me
03:40And he later told me that he was only doing it to spend time with me
03:43Come on
03:44Danny's my best friend, my partner, my rock
03:47She's amazing
03:48This loved-up pair share a home with Danny's 12-year-old son, Dallas
03:53Chris does play a big part at home in the help of Dallas
03:56He's really kind
03:57He always puts everyone else before himself
04:00Chris works as a furniture maker
04:03But wages are low
04:04And with Danny's freelance job as a tattoo artist
04:07Where do you want it? Coming off that?
04:09Coming off that
04:10Money is tight
04:11There is that constant worry that other bills are getting paid
04:14It does scare me
04:15Our money situation is stressful
04:17I do long hours and work hard to earn the money
04:20But it's to make the rest of our life more comfortable
04:24They often have less than £100 a week for all food, travel and fun
04:29When people say, what to do to relax? I'm like, we don't
04:32I don't know
04:33I don't relax
04:35What is relax?
04:36I clean
04:38Getaways are mainly spent in the UK under canvas
04:42One of our last holidays was like £200 for a week camping
04:45And it was great fun
04:47I've had many experiences of Chris cooking in the rain under an umbrella
04:50Sometimes two umbrellas
04:51So, are they ready to swap camp life for the high life?
04:55I think I'll be slightly uncomfortable with a luxury holiday
04:58Because I don't feel like I deserve that
05:02I'm a bit nervous for going on a luxury holiday
05:04When you have got a lot of tattoos, you can definitely be judged
05:06I hope our travel companions are open-minded with us
05:09It's the moment everyone's been waiting for
05:12The families will be spending a week together on two very different trips
05:16So, where are they going?
05:19Who's opening it?
05:20Me
05:21Go on then, you're opening it
05:23First up, a five-star getaway that's the norm for Katie and Lola
05:27I'd like to go somewhere hot, where we can relax a little bit
05:30Shall we find out?
05:31Come on, Dan
05:32We are heading to the Italian island of Sardinia
05:36Oh!
05:37Oh!
05:39Where's that?
05:40Sardinia
05:41Italian island
05:42Italian
05:42Stay in a luxury five-star resort with world-class food
05:46And exclusive beach access to relax and unwind in style
05:49Wow
05:51The Italian island of Sardinia
05:54Second largest in the Mediterranean Sea
05:57Is known for attracting the world's elite
06:00Nicknamed the Caribbean of Europe
06:02Sardinia's white sand, crystal clear waters and rugged landscapes
06:06Make it the ultimate destination for sophistication and serenity
06:12For the first half of the week
06:13The pairs will be staying in the south-east of the island
06:16At the five-star Falkensteiner resort
06:20Offering exclusive access to a private beach, three pools, spa and world-class fine dining
06:28Sounds like our kind of fun set
06:30So exciting!
06:30We get to relax and unwind
06:33We'll see how long I can lie on the beach for
06:36It's day one of the holiday
06:38I'm very excited now
06:39I've never done anything close to five-star
06:41Danny and Chris are more used to packing for rainy campsites than sunny Italian shores
06:47I'm looking forward to a really nice beach that's not pebbles or mud
06:52But seasoned traveller Katie is a pro at prepping for a luxury beach getaway
06:57I'll often go and get lymphatic drainage massage
07:00It just gets rid of all of the fluid in the body
07:03So I feel so much happier when I'm sat in that bikini
07:06It's Danny and Chris's second-ever child-free trip abroad
07:13After a two-and-a-half-hour flight to the island, there's a scenic coastal drive to their luxury resort
07:19Am I allowed to topless on me?
07:22No
07:25This looks very fancy
07:28God knows what they're going to think of us
07:31Riff raff
07:33You always know it's a good hotel when there's a golf buggy
07:36Oh, it's stunning
07:37The pairs will meet for the first time after they've checked in
07:41It looks amazing, doesn't it?
07:43For the next few days, they're staying in a beachfront room costing more than a grand a night
07:52Wow
07:53That's almost as much as the couple's monthly rent back home
07:57You're not going to jump on bed, are you?
07:59Better take your shoes off
08:03Oh my God
08:04How comfy this is
08:06You're going to dirty it to get off
08:08It's very white and very clean
08:10You don't really want to sit on touch or anything
08:14For Katie and Lola
08:16Wow
08:18It looks so nice
08:19It's home from home
08:22Always a great touch when you arrive in the champagne and little snacks in the room
08:26The bathroom is bigger than our bedroom
08:28I kind of didn't even know places like this existed
08:30No
08:32I don't see how people would ever get used to this being a standard holiday
08:37We've both been the most anxious about who we're going to meet
08:41More than like, oh, where are we staying?
08:43It's like, who are they?
08:46All is about to be revealed as the pairs are meeting for the first time
08:52Hello
08:52Hi
08:53Hello
08:55Nice to meet you
08:56Nice to meet you
08:56Lovely to meet you darling
08:58So welcoming
08:59I went in for a handshake and got two massive hugs
09:02Both of them are very, very glamorous
09:04They can obviously afford to look after themselves
09:08So, how are you feeling? Do you love it?
09:11We feel very out of place
09:12There's not really anyone round here that looks like us
09:15No, not at all
09:16I've not seen anyone really with tattoos, piercings
09:18So, is this like your usual holidays?
09:21I'd say so
09:22Because I travel a lot for work
09:24We'll choose like this kind of beach, very relaxing
09:27Yeah, we love a beach
09:28Yeah, we love a beach
09:29It's like polar opposite to me
09:31I don't think we know how to kind of relax on holiday
09:35We do try and do as much as we can, especially with like my son Dallas
09:38A lot of what we do, especially on holiday, is based around him
09:42They aren't used to this sort of lifestyle but I hope by the end of the week they'll enjoy it
09:47We can show them how to pamper themselves
09:49Exactly
09:50The main thing that I do when we're on holiday is try to let go, spend what you want to
09:55spend and try not to worry
09:57I don't know how to kind of live without a budget
10:01Welcome to our holiday guys
10:04I think it's going to be a challenge but we're willing to give it a go
10:08Coming up, Chris and Danny get some five-star pampering
10:12Never thought I'd ever get a nose massage, apparently that's a thing
10:16And high-end Italian styling
10:18Warm colour and cool cup
10:20Proves a bad fit for the cash-strapped couple
10:23I look like I'm going to court
10:24I felt very out of place
10:26Yeah
10:31Big spending mum and daughter Katie and Lola
10:34You have to have Chanel in your life
10:35Are showing hard up Danny and Chris
10:38Wow
10:40How to splurge on a five-star break
10:42Oh my God
10:43For God's sake
10:44And the rich holiday means rich rules
10:47Try to let go, spend what you want to spend
10:50We feel very out of place
10:51It's not really anyone round here that looks like us
10:57It's a new day in Sardinia
10:59Morning
11:00Morning
11:01For Danny and Chris, five-star hotels are a massive upgrade
11:05From their usual nights under canvas
11:07Morning guys
11:09How did you guys sleep?
11:11I slept really well
11:12It was weird because at one point I went to roll over and find Danny
11:17And she was more than my arm's length away from me
11:20What would you guys usually spend on the holiday?
11:22Accommodation usually when we go camping it's about £2.50 for the week
11:27Really?
11:28Yeah
11:29How can you even do that?
11:31We spend that at dinner
11:32I mean I guess that's the huge cost difference
11:34Like we're staying in a hotel, they are staying in a caravan
11:38I don't think they're in caravans, I think they're in tents
11:41That is a reality check for us
11:44Because I would say £5,000, £6,000 on a week
11:47Easily
11:48Oh my god
11:49Easily done
11:50Yeah
11:50It's more than four times our monthly rent
11:55So what kinds of activities can that sort of cash buy?
11:59Relaxing by the pool and exclusive beach
12:03Personalised shopping experience with an Italian stylist
12:06Me and Chris have been together five and a half years and he's never bought himself anything
12:10I just don't know how it's possible for someone to not buy anything for themselves
12:15I mean I actually don't think you could go longer than about two days without buying
12:19No that would be touching it
12:21Paddleboarding in the crystal clear Sardinian waters
12:23We both wanted to do puddleboarding for so long
12:26And a luxury spa treatment
12:28Have you ever had a spa treatment or massage?
12:31I've been to a chiropractor before
12:33I've had a massage
12:34I've never had a spa treatment and I was very very anxious and hesitant
12:37I find it very hard to kind of get my head in that space so I can relax
12:41It really made me realise how much we do for ourselves
12:44But to me that's exactly what holidays should be about
12:48It's going to be a bit of an eye opener
12:50Strange experience but hopefully very fun
12:53Try not to worry about what we're spending, what we're doing and just fully relax
13:00It's the first morning and everyone is free to unwind in their own fashion
13:05It's 30 degrees so Katie and Lola have stripped off for the sun lounges
13:11But Chris is dressed more for a chilly British summer
13:15Everyone's dressed a lot different than we are
13:17Yes, very neutral linens and we feel like we stick out
13:22But businesswoman Katie is right at home and back to her old habits
13:26She's still working
13:28Frustrating when you want to spend time with someone
13:30And they're constantly on the phone
13:34Can a morning at the hotel's five-star spa help the whole group unwind?
13:39Look at this, how beautiful
13:41Quite anxious
13:42For the spa, I'm also a bit scared about the idea of someone touching my body
13:47For both pairs, a face mask and massage
13:51It's £128
13:52Which is more than double Chris and Danny's weekly food shop
13:56It is crazy to see that that's how much some people can spend just on a treatment
14:01As for Katie, it's her 15th spa trip this year
14:07I really hope Chris and Danny are enjoying this spa trip
14:11And there's actually three hormones, aren't there?
14:12Mm-hmm
14:13First up, a lavender-infused oil massage
14:16It's weird
14:18Yeah, just a little bit
14:19I've never been so still in my life
14:22Yeah
14:23I felt it very, very difficult to kind of relax and get into that
14:27Followed by a refreshing aloe facial
14:30I could buy a plant of aloe for about £4 and break it up and whack it on your face
14:34I never thought I'd ever get a nose massage
14:37Apparently that's the thing
14:38The skin, especially your nose, is so shiny now
14:41After two hours of scrubbing and rubbing
14:44Do you both look really refreshed?
14:47I feel a bit more relaxed now
14:49How often would you do something like this?
14:51Oh gosh
14:52Probably too often
14:54I work really long days
14:56So actually taking this time is really important for me
14:59But tell me about your day-to-day
15:02I do long days at work, go home, finish my work for the following day
15:06And I don't really take time off because if I do, I don't get paid
15:10I feel like it'd be scary
15:12Not knowing if you can get by that month
15:15Stressful
15:16And stress is something workaholic Katie can relate to
15:20I find you work quite a lot when you have a day
15:23Yeah, I do, I have to
15:25But I'll try to do it when Lola's asleep
15:28Do you know if your mum's worked at all?
15:30Yeah, like earlier, we were by the pool
15:32And yeah, she was on her phone working
15:34I just want to pick up your phone and chuck it off the balcony
15:37Yeah, don't do that please, darling
15:39Yeah, well
15:40I need my phone
15:41Hopefully Katie listens to her own balls
15:44And relaxes a bit more for the rest of the week
15:46Yeah
15:50It's day three of the luxury holiday and Danny and Chris's casual attire hasn't gone unnoticed
15:56We need to kick Chris out with some new shoes and jazzy shirts
15:59So the foursome are heading to Sardinia's bustling capital Cagliari for a personalised shopping spree
16:06I'm interested to see how someone's going to style you
16:09Katie and Lola think nothing of dropping a grand a month in upmarket boutiques
16:14I'm really like this one
16:16That's more than Danny's entire monthly earnings
16:20I felt very out of place
16:22Yeah
16:22Chris hasn't bought any new clothes in five years
16:26It's like I don't want to touch anything
16:28It's just so unnatural to me
16:30Danny and Chris kind of just stood there a bit cluelessly
16:34I just think they didn't know what to do
16:36Personal stylist Raimonda is here to guide them through
16:40For a cool 700 quid
16:43Warm colour
16:45And cool colour
16:47OK
16:48It's a colour wheel thing
16:49I do think it's a bit of a fad
16:50You are a summer woman
16:52Don't really do colour at all
16:54I don't really think I'm a soft summer type person
16:57Regardless of what she says
17:01How are you getting on in there?
17:03Wow
17:05Well this is different
17:06Yeah
17:08How do you feel?
17:09Uncomfortable
17:10How much was your one?
17:122,900
17:12For a blazer
17:13The t-shirt was 800
17:16So
17:17That's a lot for a white t-shirt
17:19Yeah
17:19Wow
17:20How are you doing?
17:22OK
17:23You look amazing
17:24It's not really me
17:25If we walked in the local pub
17:26I'd get absolutely rinsed
17:28I think so yeah
17:29Especially with the shoes
17:31I felt ridiculous
17:34Oh wow
17:36The blazer alone was 2,800 pounds
17:39Jeez
17:40We both looked ridiculous
17:41I look like I'm going to court
17:45It's not you is it?
17:46But shopaholics Katie and Lola are determined the couple don't leave empty handed
17:51We've grabbed you a couple of bags and some shoes that I think really suit your style
17:57I was so overwhelmed
17:58I needed someone like them to kind of guide us around
18:00I feel like they're your vibe
18:02They are really nice
18:03Yeah
18:03Is that mission accomplished?
18:05Possibly
18:05You guys deserve it?
18:07You really do?
18:07I'm glad they twisted our hands and they just
18:10Yeah I am
18:10So what's the damage for their new designer threads?
18:14Oh my god
18:16That's over a thousand pounds
18:18That's 30 quid off a month's rent
18:21Even though it was lovely
18:23It's a crazy amount to spend
18:25I really do hope
18:26That especially Chris has learnt
18:28That he can treat himself
18:32It's the penultimate day at the luxury resort
18:35For beach lovers Katie and Lola
18:38Paddle boarding is a must on holiday
18:40And at this hotel it comes as a complimentary extra
18:44But first timer Dani could be out of her depth
18:47So I've never actually swam in the sea before
18:49I've only kind of gone up to my waist
18:51What? Really?
18:52No
18:53Yeah I can swim
18:54I'm just not in the sea
18:55Not in the sea?
18:55It does panic me a little bit
18:57When the waves start coming in and crashing into you
19:00Can't really comprehend how someone
19:02Hadn't swam in the sea before
19:07I was quite scared when we first got on
19:09Especially when it gets really wavy and rocky
19:13As she got into it she obviously really trusted Chris
19:15And she got more and more confident
19:17She even tried to stand up a few times
19:20Yay!
19:22Once I did fall in
19:23It was fine
19:24Yeah
19:25So I am quite proud of myself
19:26Definitely got a new wave of confidence
19:28With like going into the sea
19:30Trying new things
19:31Throwing myself out there
19:32And pushing myself a little bit
19:35Same with her
19:36Same with her
19:37Same with her
19:39Well that was fun
19:42Back on dry land
19:43There's a chance for the two mums to have a one to one chat
19:47Pre-Chris you were also a single mum
19:50Yeah
19:50How did you find things?
19:52I was very lucky that Dallas's dad is great
19:55We broke up when he was around two
19:57And I wasn't working at the time
19:59So it was quite difficult
20:00So I was on benefits for a while
20:03Until Dallas was like a little bit older
20:05Where I could put him in nursery a few days a week
20:06And then I worked at a pub
20:07But I was only earning like five pounds an hour
20:09Yeah
20:10When Lola was younger
20:12I was living on my own
20:14She was about 13 months old
20:16And I lost my job
20:18I then managed to get another job
20:19But still couldn't make ends meet
20:21I remember relabelling Christmas presents from other people
20:24Because I couldn't afford
20:25I just sat and cried
20:27I was wrapping it up
20:28It really struck a chord with me
20:30She worked so hard
20:32But still having to scrimp and save
20:34Being a mum is stressful
20:36Full stop
20:36But when you're really worried about money
20:39And the day to day
20:40It really did make me realise how lucky I am
20:44But then when I met Chris
20:45That did make it a lot easier
20:46Yeah
20:47Like he's been a massive help
20:48To both financially and emotionally
20:50I think it's quite strange
20:52Finding the amount of similarities
20:54Between me and her that I have
20:55We may look very different
20:57And come from very different worlds
20:59However, when you boil it down
21:01We're actually very similar
21:03It's the last evening of the luxury holiday
21:06And for the foursome
21:08A private dinner cooked by a Michelin-starred chef
21:11I don't think I've ever sat anywhere similar to this
21:13The closest thing we've had is chips on the beach in Cornwall
21:16Isn't it?
21:17It is, yeah
21:18A little bit of a different vibe here
21:20Yeah, slightly
21:21And at 150 quid ahead
21:24It's 30 times the price of a chippy tea
21:27First up, an amuse-bouche of charcoal-roasted celeriac
21:31With miso marinade and caviar
21:34Do we not tuck it into our collar like a kid?
21:37No, don't tuck it into your collar, put it down
21:39Don't panic
21:40We're about to have amuse-bouche
21:44That's amazing
21:45Next on the menu, rice paper ravioli
21:48That's all
21:49I'm trying it
21:51So, is it worth it?
21:53How good is that?
21:55It's amazing
21:55It's so nice
21:56Didn't they ever have food that quality?
21:58They were like, wow
21:59That's amazing
22:02I'm so glad you're both wearing some of your new bits that you bought
22:06I can see a new crisp
22:08Yeah, I enjoyed it more than I thought I was going to
22:11Yeah
22:11I don't think I deserve that
22:13You do
22:13Yeah, you're a very selfless person
22:15I think what you've done and given to both Danny and Dallas is love, care, protection
22:24You can see how much you love each other and it's honestly, it's inspiring
22:29I'm not used to be treated
22:31I'm not used to putting myself first
22:33I don't matter
22:34But you do to me and you do to Dallas
22:37Yeah
22:38So I always say I want to be the best me for our family
22:45I think I need to be the best me for me first
22:51It's the last morning of the five-star stay
22:54And before they head on their budget break, a debrief is in order
22:57I think this holiday has made us both realise we need to take more time for ourselves
23:02Yeah, to be a bit more selfish with my own time
23:04But it's time with her mum Lola is after
23:08You've been on your phone and laptop a lot this week
23:11To the point where I'll ask you things and you just won't reply
23:14It is very hard for me to let go
23:16I will try, I promise
23:18I'd like to do another holiday like this
23:21Where you can just relax a little bit more and take the days slower
23:24Yeah
23:25Yeah, maybe not to this extent or price obviously
23:29And talking of the price
23:31The total bill for your holiday is £15,702
23:37That's more than a year's rent
23:38That's an obscene amount of money for four people to go on holiday
23:41Because I work so hard
23:43I'm happy to splash out a little bit on things like holidays
23:46I don't see a reason why you need to spend that much to make memories and have nice experiences
23:51No
23:52Time to put Chris's theory to the test as the budget holiday is revealed
23:58You're heading to the Sardinian Hills to stay in a back-to-basics yurt on a rustic farm
24:06Where you'll discover a more simplistic way to holiday
24:09I'm really excited
24:11What's a yurt?
24:12It's a big tent, right up Chris and Danny's street
24:20The group are heading north, away from civilisation and into the hills to stay off-grid on a rustic farm
24:27There's no five-star service here
24:29Just a few basic yurts
24:32A makeshift shower and a compostable loo
24:36Gonna be a struggle, but I'll try
24:38Coming up
24:40This is where you were sleeping
24:41What are we gonna do?
24:43The group swapped the high life for camp life
24:45Oh, I mean, it's up there with the festival toilets that I've been in
24:49So, can the rookie campers stick it out?
24:53This is worse than anything I could have imagined
24:59A cash-conscious couple
25:01£128
25:02It is crazy to see that that's how much some people can spend
25:05Have had an all-expenses-paid luxury trip
25:08Closest thing we've had is chips on the beach in Cornwall
25:11Now it's their chance to show their five-star loving companions
25:15You're heading to the Sardinian Hills to stay in a back-to-basics yurt on a rustic farm
25:23How to embrace a no-frills camping break
25:27What's a yurt?
25:30The group heading into the Sardinian Hills
25:33Blimey guys, where on earth are we gonna be staying?
25:37For their budget break under canvas
25:39This is crazy
25:41Can anybody see any yurt?
25:43Yeah
25:44It's just a 35-minute drive from their luxury resort
25:47Uh-uh
25:48But it's like another planet
25:51Oh, the car doesn't like it
25:55Erm...what?
25:56This can't be yet
25:57It's so remote and so basic
26:02How do we get the bags?
26:04Out the back of the cat
26:05How do we get them to the plant?
26:07There are no bellboys here
26:09Not quite the same welcome as we had last time
26:12Just a humble greeting from farm owners Oficio and Arena
26:15Hello, welcome
26:17Hello
26:18Hello, nice to meet you guys
26:20Now I show you our tents
26:23Okay?
26:24So here we go
26:25The pairs each have their very own yurt
26:28This is where you were sleeping
26:31Thank you
26:32Thank you
26:32Bye
26:33What are we gonna do?
26:35I'm a bit scared
26:36I feel like this is
26:39Dare I say it like worse than I thought it was gonna be
26:43Let's have a look where we're gonna sleep
26:44Try to stay positive
26:45Yeah? Let's have a look
26:46Okay
26:48At just over 60 quid a night
26:50It's a 20th of the cost of the luxury hotel
26:55I mean it's basic
26:56Yeah, sleeping on wood planks
26:59Do you think we are?
27:01No, we've got a mattress
27:02Touch it
27:04Oh yes
27:05Some yurts are in better shape than others
27:08How nice is this?
27:09No, this is really nice
27:10But Katie and Lola seem to have drawn the short straw
27:15Quite a lot of poles
27:16I wouldn't necessarily call this a holiday
27:20Not the kind of thing we're used to
27:21It's not really luxury
27:23The camping phobes will also have to adjust to shared facilities
27:27Oh my goodness Lose
27:29Oh, I mean
27:30It's up there with the festival toilets that I've been in
27:33Oh, and there's no toilet roll
27:35What?
27:36We've gone from total luxury
27:40To like back to basics
27:43This is worse than anything I could have imagined
27:45Yeah, definitely not what I would call a holiday
27:49How lovely
27:50It's cute, isn't it?
27:51Oh my gosh, this is so nice
27:53How's your tent?
27:55Hmm, not quite as nice as this
27:58To be honest, it's a bit older
27:59I'd almost prefer to like bring the beds up here and sleep outside
28:02Like that's how
28:03Bring them in
28:04Yeah
28:04No, honestly
28:05Yeah, honestly, bring them in
28:08I mean that could be an option
28:09There's space for you two to be there
28:11We can move over and just see how you get on
28:14They've offered us a great solution for tonight
28:16Which is to go and stay in with them
28:19Right, should we go get our beds then?
28:21Yeah, let's do it
28:22Hang on a sec, Lice
28:24Ah
28:25So, we're all having a sleepover
28:27I definitely haven't had one of those in a long time
28:30Sorry about the bum
28:33Ah, there's a bus
28:34Ah
28:38There's a bus
28:39This is Chris and Danny's holiday
28:42So before bedding down, they're setting some guidelines
28:45Main rules, off your phones
28:47You're not really going to have a choice up here anyway
28:50Lola's going to love the fact that there's no Wi-Fi
28:53Because I'm not going to be able to use my phone
28:55And yeah, we're going to really get stuck in with you guys
28:59Good
28:59But can they stick to the couple's usual budget?
29:02Can I do the honors?
29:04Yeah
29:04Look at what we've got to spend
29:06Your budget for food and activities is £52
29:10Wow
29:11Well
29:12That's going to be tough
29:13That's crazy
29:13That is not even what a dinner would cost
29:15Yeah, I mean, we would spend three, four times that in a day
29:20It's a doable budget, isn't it?
29:21It's fairly doable
29:22Yeah
29:24So, what can you get up to with just £52 in your pocket?
29:28So here's our activities
29:29So we do try and do a lot of things for free
29:33OK
29:33Coffee meeting with carob berries
29:39What's that?
29:40Carob berries
29:40They're berries made of carob
29:43I don't feel like that
29:44You like coffee
29:44Yeah
29:46I like the next one
29:47Yeah
29:48Landscape art session led by Danny
29:51Walk to a nearby beach and picnic lunch
29:54Amazing
29:55All of them, like, I think will really push us out of our comfort zone
29:59But, you know, bring us back to nature
30:01And it's great to actually see what you can do totally free
30:08But first, they'll have to survive a cosy night together in the yurt
30:13The only thing that will probably be keeping us up is Chris's snoring tonight
30:15Because it can get quite loud
30:16Yeah
30:17Who's going to be louder, Chris or the dogs howling?
30:20Yeah
30:20Chris
30:21Oh God, oh no
30:25It's 5am and Katie, woken up by snoring, has crept back to her tent
30:31So everyone apart from me is still asleep
30:34I did not sleep well
30:36And considering my options this morning, if I'm honest
30:40I really want to stick to their holiday
30:43But honestly, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to rough it for another night
30:47What Katie needs is a coffee
30:49But on this holiday, as rates for the yurts are low, you have to earn your morning copper
30:54Today we need help to pick up the carob
30:59Carob is like a superfood
31:02Irina and Officio make a caffeine-free coffee from the carob berries
31:07And it's time to harvest the pods
31:08First things, we hit and they pull down
31:16Working on holiday is a first for Lola
31:23It doesn't work out the arms this
31:26Got it
31:26Hey, that was a good one
31:30For Dani and Chris, connecting with nature is what their camping trips are all about
31:35I just kind of sat on the floor in the dust and moved all the leaves and mock about
31:39I found the berries, I loved doing that, it was really good
31:42But Lola's more used to lounging on her five-star breaks
31:46It's like poo
31:47I don't think Lola enjoyed it as much as we did
31:49I do think she was quite bored
31:51You're not really built for nature, are you?
31:53I did get a little bit bored just picking up the berries
31:57I like work
31:58Yeah, so many bugs
32:01You can be a bit of a princess
32:03Yeah, because of you
32:05Oh, it's all my fault
32:06Yes
32:09Hard work picking up mouldy bananas
32:11No
32:12I'm more the by the pool sort of girl
32:16But there's more hard graft ahead
32:18The berries have to be ground by hand
32:21I can't do any more
32:23Before they're ready to brew
32:26So is Lola convinced it's worth the slog?
32:29Cheers guys, thank you
32:31Smells burnt
32:32Mmm
32:35What do you think?
32:43After hours of grinding, it's past noon
32:46And Katie and Lola are yet to have a shower
32:48I think that's it though
32:50Just a bit of wood and stones
32:52Honestly, having a shower outdoors is nice
32:54Do you want to go first?
32:56Yeah
33:04Is that actually it?
33:06Well, you don't waste it
33:07Fine
33:10Watch out now
33:11Well, you're going to have to, I'm afraid
33:13It's a nice idea, but it's not really a shower for me
33:18Come on
33:19Come on, it'll freshen you up
33:21Don't use it all
33:23You may need some
33:25It's going to take a while
33:28I want to like get myself clean, I want to get out of here
33:30Yeah, it doesn't, being dirty and feeling yucky
33:34It's not a holiday for me
33:36Because we definitely can't stay here again
33:39The budget facilities are a washout
33:42And it's time to come clean with their fellow campmates
33:45Me and Lose have just been chatting
33:47And I just think another night here with no sleep
33:50I just don't think we can do it
33:51I'm so sorry
33:52Plan is if we can find somewhere that's relatively near
33:56I did think I saw a B&B down the road
33:58Then we can come back and do the activities
34:01It is a big shame that they are leaving
34:04Are you cross with us?
34:09A little disappointed
34:11I think a couple of your activities were quite anxiety-inducing for us
34:17So we really pushed ourselves
34:20Yeah
34:20Don't feel anxious, feel ill
34:22That's the difference
34:23Yeah
34:23So for us
34:26In similar situations
34:28Once you're there, you're there
34:29Yeah, we're stuck here, basically
34:30We just simply can't afford to
34:34Go anywhere else
34:36But we're still going to go, I think
34:38I actually feel really guilty that we're leaving
34:41I think when Chris framed it like that
34:43It was a big reality check for me
34:46Money, I guess, has meant that it does give us a bit of freedom
34:49If we don't like something
34:51We can pay our way out of it
34:52I think it was a quite quick and easy decision because they can afford it
34:57Oh, bye guys
34:58Let's go get a good night's sleep
35:00Get me out of this mouldy yacht
35:02I think they severely underestimated this experience
35:10At the B&B
35:12Oh look Lola
35:13An actual bed
35:15Do you want to park up there?
35:18Yeah
35:18An actual bed
35:20Oh
35:20Places to hang our things
35:23Wow
35:23How helpful
35:25Oh
35:26Oh
35:27It's like a
35:27An amazingly comfortable bed
35:30I'm so glad we did this
35:32Yeah
35:32Yeah
35:32This was the best decision 100% wasn't it?
35:36Coming up
35:37Coming up
35:38They've checked out of their yurt
35:39We slept like babies
35:41Smells like luxury
35:42But can the final cheap activities
35:45Oh it's sandy everywhere else
35:47Bring the five star duo any joy?
35:49Is this a holiday you would consider?
35:52The truth?
35:53Yeah
35:54Probably not
36:00A couple of budget conscious campers
36:02Wow
36:03We would spend three, four times that in a day
36:07Have been showing a luxury loving mum and daughter
36:10We're the worst man
36:13How to holiday in the wild
36:14It's like poo
36:15You're not really built for nature are you?
36:18But a rustic off-grid break
36:21Get me out of this mouldy yacht
36:22Has sent them running to the nearest B&B
36:27It's day three of the budget holiday
36:30It's nice having all this space
36:33That is beautiful outside
36:35It is, it's very nice
36:37It's weird not having Katie and Lola here
36:39But it's no longer budget for some
36:41We slept like babies
36:43We can get up in the morning, have a shower, dry our hair
36:46Smells like luxury
36:48Tomorrow they'll all head home to their normal lives
36:51Morning chickens
36:53Till then the camping quitters have returned to the site
36:57For the final activities
36:59Back again
37:00Yay
37:01Don't sound too excited
37:03Morning
37:04Hey guys, we're back
37:06How was your sleep last night?
37:08It was really good
37:09Much better
37:10You definitely both look more awake today
37:12I'm glad you're feeling yourselves and refreshed
37:14So we've got a jam-packed day of activities
37:18We have
37:18Good, we're up for that aren't we?
37:21Good
37:21First on the list
37:22A drawing workshop courtesy of tattooist Danny
37:26Best thing to do is probably like pick an area that you want to focus on
37:30And just start with like basic shapes and rough lines
37:33And then start to put your detail in a little bit more after that
37:37Nice
37:38Mm-hmm
37:39No copying
37:40Nope
37:41Lola started getting really into the drawing
37:43She was like really taking in like the landscape behind her
37:45And kind of eyeing it up with a pencil
37:48Using my different pencils and everything
37:50I didn't even know there were two different types of pencils
37:52There's a lot more than two darling, we all had different ones
37:54It's like 30
37:55The activity is a chance for mum and daughter to connect without a phone in sight
38:01Now it looks like a five-year-old's drawing it
38:04At least I can tell what mine is, yours is just a bunch of lines
38:07It's a great cartoon
38:08Yours is a great line of squiggles
38:12Tried to do all of it and then I got bored and started drawing tables
38:16Always drawing tables
38:17I actually really enjoyed it more than I thought ever
38:20They do things that bring you together
38:24It's been really nice that you haven't been on your phone as much
38:27I would like to incorporate that into our holidays a bit more
38:30Yeah
38:31And it's not just Katie and Lola that are thinking about what matters most
38:36I've always drawn
38:37Like in school I was like the weird art kid
38:40Were you?
38:41Yeah
38:41I love the job that I do
38:42Obviously there is the cost of living crisis
38:44So it has slowed down quite a lot
38:45Do you have a vision?
38:46Like have you got a five-year plan?
38:48I'd love to obviously further my career
38:49And do better and get more clients as anyone would
38:52You're so talented
38:53You could really make a huge amount of money for your family
38:57And allow yourself to splurge a little bit more on holidays
39:00And do nice things
39:02If you give yourself the time to focus on what you want
39:06She's not really thought about her aspirations
39:09What she could do, where she could be
39:12And that's something that I would love to be able to help her with
39:15It's so good to be able to talk to someone
39:17Who is so much further along in their own career
39:19I definitely feel inspired by Katie
39:26There's just one final activity on the budget break
39:30A trip to the local beach
39:32I definitely feel like I made the worst shoe decision out of everyone
39:36Yeah you have
39:37Sardinian beaches regularly feature in the top ten lists of the greatest in Europe
39:43It's setting in half isn't it?
39:45Costa Re is one of many unspoilt beauty spots
39:48What a view
39:49And it doesn't cost a penny to enjoy
39:51There's some aggression in that then
39:53Ah!
39:56With their 52 quid budget all spent on a food shop
40:00It's homemade sarnies for lunch
40:02Oh it's sandy everywhere
40:03Yeah imagine you don't get too much sandy in your food at a restaurant next to the beach
40:06That is an advantage
40:10In her 17 years Lola has only ever known expensive holidays
40:14And the budget break has been an eye opener
40:17I've actually had the same amount of fun or if not more fun
40:21Like on your activities the drawing especially
40:23Like I really enjoyed it
40:24I think it does show
40:25You don't have to pay for things to just have fun
40:28That's really really nice to hear
40:30Yeah
40:30Lola did point out how little Katie's been on her phone
40:33For our part of the holiday
40:34And she's really really pleased with that
40:37That her mum was more present
40:42It's almost time to say goodbye
40:44And after a week of ups and downs
40:47So here we go guys
40:49The end of our holidays together
40:51No I can't believe it
40:52Crazy
40:53What's the final verdict on the budget break?
40:56I think this environment forces me to step away a little bit
41:00And I've found myself just feeling a bit more relaxed
41:03Since being on this part of the holiday
41:05You haven't been on your phone as much
41:07That's what I've enjoyed about the activities here
41:09Especially like you've been so like present in them
41:12We've enjoyed ourselves just as much if not more
41:16When we've been doing some of the free activities with you guys
41:19Next holiday we will do things that cost less
41:23That are more fun and actually bring us together
41:26On your part of the holiday we really pushed ourselves out of our comfort zone didn't we?
41:31Yeah
41:31But dug in and all of them we've taken good experiences out of
41:36I think a big thing that I've learned is that we need to take more time for ourselves
41:39Yeah definitely
41:40And just stop in for a moment and actually get some energy back
41:45There's still one thing left to learn
41:47The cost of the back to basics escape
41:51Total bill for your holiday is £718.92
41:55That's amazing
41:57That's almost £15,000 less than your holiday
42:03Bearing in mind how much it has cost for the four of us
42:07Is this a holiday you would consider?
42:10The truth?
42:11Yeah
42:12Probably not
42:12No, not fair
42:13I do think we will try
42:15Maybe not camping but glamping
42:18I'm sure there's some bougie ones we can find
42:24Before returning home there's a last surprise
42:27No I'm actually really sad
42:28Yeah we're gonna really miss you
42:31Furniture maker Chris has handcrafted a frame for Lola's pencil sketch
42:35We wanted to do something as a memory for you guys of the holiday
42:40So I've made you something
42:42Oh my god
42:46That is incredible
42:49Oh Chris
42:50I knew my picture would be framed
42:52It's too good not to
42:55We wanted to do something for you guys
42:57It's all expenses paid
42:59A nice hotel
42:59Or somewhere where you guys can go
43:01And just chill out
43:02Spend time on yourselves
43:04Maybe think about your futures a little bit
43:07Thank you so so much
43:08Like for the whole thing
43:09But still thank you
43:12Not sunk in yet
43:13I don't think that gift from Katie
43:15No
43:16I still find things that are kind of hard to accept
43:19This has been the best experience of my life
43:22Although we maybe didn't love the camping experience
43:25As much as we coulda shoulda woulda
43:28We have made the best friends in Danny and Chris
43:31Yeah that's the most important thing I think
43:33They've made the experience so much better
43:37Back in the UK
43:39We have just arrived home
43:41The budget holiday made us feel yucky, dirty
43:45And that's not how I want to spend my holiday
43:47Challenging myself to all the things that I did on this holiday
43:50Has given me like a new bit of confidence that I didn't have before
43:54Have you taken any of it from it?
43:55Time for us and time for me
43:57We learn a lot about the fact that money doesn't necessarily bring fun
44:03But money does buy you freedom
44:05Met some amazing people through it
44:07And yeah I wouldn't have changed this for anything
44:09No
44:11Next time
44:13There's no toilet
44:13No toilet?
44:14No there's no toilet
44:15Do you reckon they're gonna struggle?
44:16They'll have to get used to it won't they?
44:17Let's hold off the beads
44:18It's the hips
44:21Wow
44:21It's beyond what we thought isn't it guys?
44:23We don't have to worry about the cost
44:25But let's go wild
44:26It's crazy
44:27People just spent that money
44:28That is ridiculous
44:37Right
44:56People just spent it
