Rob, Jenny and their 13-year-old daughter Leah are the Garretts, and they would love to visit Disneyland. However, all three of these leisure shoppers are big spenders, meaning they can't save for the trip. Rob has two sheds packed with stuff, Jenny has nearly 50 dresses and Leah loves her trainers. To analyse their shopping habits, Steph and Alex secretly spy on them and watch as they splash the cash, egging each other on to spend. To show them the error of their ways, Alex and Steph sneak into their house and take their possessions to stock a pop-up shop - the Garretts are shocked when they are confronted with how much they already own and what they have spent.
