13/08/19 Eat Well for Less?- contestants wanted
Dear All,
Please see below message which may be of interest to members. This is also on our website - https://www.narpo.org/7687-2/
RDF Television are currently working on Eat Well For Less, the BBC 1 programme where Masterchef’s Gregg Wallace and award winning greengrocer Chris Bavin are on a mission to help UK families concerned about the cost of their weekly food shop. They want to prove that it could still be possible for families to save money on their food budget without scrimping on taste and nutrition. They hope that by analysing the shopping habits of UK families, they can help to show where we can source the best and cheapest quality food.
They are looking for a range of families who would like to take part in their new series. Especially any retirees (either in couples or single), or their extended families who might be interested in taking part in the new series of Eat Well For Less and would love to spread the word to the NARPO membership. Please see flyer.
Anyone interested should email: eatwell@rdftelevision.com or call: 0117 970 7682.
