Following a difficult two years with the pandemic, many Brits are looking to book a break away, but the cost of living crisis is seeing people pull in the pursestrings. However, one savvy shopper has revealed their eight-step plan to reduce spending so you can save more for a summer getaway.

Gemma Bird, also known as Money Mum, has 281,000 Instagram followers with whom she shares her top money saving tips. Now, the blogger has teamed up with eBay UK after a survey by the online retailer revealed that four in five UK adults are currently feeling concerned by the increasing inflation in the UK, and in particular, 34 per cent are worried about being able to afford a summer holiday.

Gemma has shined a light on some of the easy ways you can reduce outgoings, and be smarter with your cash, from no spend days to selling on eBay. And she’s not the only one, with eBay stating there’s been a 14% uplift in the number of people selling on the platform in the UK since the start of April when inflation increased across the UK.
