Sue and Brett Heinz help Vicky and Mark Sandberg find ways to save money.

Can thrifty couple Sue and Brett help Vicky and Mark find ways to cut back? They begin with the Sandbergs' monthly budget and discover the Sandbergs are spending $650 a month in department stores on things for the kids—clothing, video games and DVDs. "That's a big number," Sue says.
