A mum who has been crippled by the cost of living crisis claims she saved her son's Christmas by rummaging through bins to find presents.
Rachael Collins, 42, has found £200 worth of games, furnishings and candles by searching through rubbish containers outside homeware and charity shops.
She goes twice a week looking for ornaments and clothes to sell, give to friends of keep for herself and her seven-year-old son Charlie. She says 'dumpster diving' has helped ease the pressure during the festive period as money wasn't stretching far enough.
