A mum-of-two saves £5k a year buying nearly everything second hand - including her Christmas gifts. Jess Potter, 36, says its easier than you think to find quality gifts second-hand.
The mum-of-two switched to second-hand living to keep costs down four years ago and now buys almost nothing new. Savvy Jess and partner Davey Brown, 36, say they save an average of £5,000 per year after changing their buying habits.
They say it surprises some people because they assume second-hand means bad quality - but that's actually not the case. With Christmas around the corner at a time when people are already feeling the pinch, she suggests giving second-hand gifts a try.
