Mum saves £5,000 for her first home by 'shopping in reverse' - and you can too

A single mum has explained how she saved £5,000 for a house deposit by slashing her outgoings by more than half, salvaging furniture from the streets and shopping in charity shops.

Some of the ways Jasmine Storm Williamson, 27, has been able to cut her bills include swapping a £55 phone contract to a £12 sim-only deal and paying just £15 for streaming services compared to £60 for a TV package.

The money-savvy mum has also reduced her weekly food bill, going from paying around £65 to £70 per week for groceries to just £15 to £25.
