Ten Years of Discount Buying

Episode 9 of 14

Lord Sugar wants to test the candidates's negotiation skills. They have one day to buy nine items, all of which have featured in previous years' tasks, at the best possible prices.

At the house, it's an early morning wake-up call for the candidates as Lord Sugar knocks on the door in person to tell them that for their next task he wants to test their negotiation skills - they have just one day to buy nine items, all of which have featured in tasks over the last ten years, at the best possible prices.

The candidates scour all four corners of the capital in search of kosher chickens, nigella seeds and oud oil. A diamond deal turns into a heist and one team, searching for a human skeleton, pin all their hopes on a cunning plan.

As time ticks away, it's a race to find all of the items at knockdown prices before a sprint back to the boardroom.

The team that spends the least wins, but things aren't that simple after Lord Sugar lays down the law. The recriminations begin as the losing candidates turn on each other before one is singled out to hear the words 'You're fired!'.
