Money for Jam – A Saving Money TV Show
Money for Jam is a new TV show focusing on Saving Money, and we here at Savings Guide say it’s about time! Money For Jam is presented by two trusted and respected financial experts, Effie Zahos and Paul Clitheroe, along with well-known TV presenter Shelley Craft and AFL legend Shane Crawford.
It is interesting to see that ‘saving money’ has come back into fashion at the height of our turbulant year of financial issues around the world. Savings Guide cannot wait to see the first episode, it is airing on September 2nd at 8pm.
For any producers out there at Channel 9 – we would love to be involved! Get in touch with us!
Straight from Channel 9, here is the low down:
As the editor of Money magazine, Effie Zahos has some great tips and tricks for making a bit of extra cash. Australia’s undisputed money guru, Paul Clitheroe, will be sharing his financial insight throughout the series.
Shelley Craft’s first job was flipping burgers and wearing a silly suit at a theme park, so she knows that you’ve got to start somewhere to make money — you have to be positive, passionate and keep your sense of humour. Hawthorn great Shane Crawford, who played more than 300 games in the AFL, has taken a few knocks in his time so he knows all about bouncing back too.
In episode one, Effie will show you how to get a bonus worth nearly $3000 a year.
Shane meets a man who has turned his love of beer into a business. Five tradesmen take Shelley’s lunchbox challenge. And there are words of wisdom from money-man Paul Clitheroe. Plus the “Super Scrooge of the Week” segment with the scroogiest ideas to save a buck.
This show is going to be interesting, must watch TV for all Savings Guide readers!

I enjoyed the show last night but I was disappointed to see that the only way you could apply for the NAB balance transfer was online – there are some households that would have liked to take advantage of the offer who did not have the internet at home and therefore missed out
Absolutely agree Bernadette, would be helpful if you could maybe call to take advantage right then and there on the show.
Citibank have a great balance transfer going at the moment, it was similar to the one I used. Details can be found here.
It’s a real pity that a show like ‘Money for Jam’ which makes itself out to be an impartial financial advice show is actually a 30 minute advertorial for NAB. If you’re going to promote NAB’s products and services because they’re paying for solus sponsorship of the show, at least be honest and tell viewers that’s what’s happening, rather than misleading them by disguising this fact and making out that NAB products and services are the best on the market. Wrong.
I was looking on your website for the list of market research companies that you mentioned on your first show. could you please send me the list.
Thank you
Could you please send me a list of the market research companies that you had on your first show. I am a full time mum desperately needing to get work after hours. Thankyou, Barb Jones.
Effie Zahos was a bank teller 20 years ago, now she is a journalist. How does that make her a financial expert?
I’m surprised that the govt dept that runs the Financial Literacy Board would allow their Chairman to be involved in such a blatantly commercial ploy from the NAB and his magazine ‘Money’. Maybe the GFC has plundered the millions he made when he sold his other company.
Perhaps Mr. Clitheroe could share some of HIS money making ideas – without the poor investment choices.
The program smacks of get-rich-quick ideas and is poorly supported by people whose only claim to fame is that they paid by channel nine.
I’d like more information on your article on renting out the family home for tv/films etc.
Personally, I would like some real advice on where to go once you’ve lost everything. After being married and working in our businesses for 25yrs, we did everything we could to save our livelihood during the GFC, but instead lost everything – our family home, our tiny country bush block, the kids education fund – everything.
Now, i’m not one to blame others, it is our problem and we will work through it, but with just over a year to go in bankruptcy, I have to ask – what now? I am damn scared..too old to start a new mortgage, too young to retire..some days i just want to give up. Forget money for jam, I need to find money to re-invent my familes future.
