A savvy shopper has managed to avoid wasting £5,000 shopping for preloved items on an internet market.

Rosie Beech has been ready to economize, in addition to generate income by way of on-line market, Vinted.

The first-time mum was shocked to learn how costly child garments had been so a number of pals really useful the app.

She rapidly “fell down a rabbit hole,” while looking the app and fell in love with how helpful it was for locating cheaper objects.

Rosie advised Cambridgeshire Live: “Using Vinted has helped me beat the cost of living crisis.

“Babies go through things so quickly and it's lovely going shopping for them, the novelty hasn't worn off yet and he's 15 months, but there's no getting away from the fact that it's expensive.

“Things have to be tightened and you have to be more wary about how you shop. I think if I didn't have Vinted, I would have felt more overwhelmed and worried thinking, 'He's growing so quickly, do I need to do an online shop and buy things?'

"I've always been a bit of a bargain hunter and love a bargain but since having Jack, it's gone tenfold. I want to get the best for him for the best price and make sure that I'm spending my precious money where I can on things like family days out because things are so expensive these days.

"I've saved so much money because people want to sell on their things and don't want lots of money for them. I think I've saved around £5,000."

She explained that you can save money as well as help others save money is a nice feeling.

She continued: “I fell in love with all of it and also the prices because you could go to a designer outlet and be spending £30-£40 on a baby grow but on Vinted get it for £3 - it's a no-brainer."

The blogger also finds Facebook marketplace useful for picking up bigger toys that she's not willing to pay hundreds on such as toy cars worth £50, she can get them for just £6.
