Mum shares baby hack which she reckons has saved her £5,000

A thrifty mum claims she's 'beat the cost of living crisis' by shopping for her baby's clothes on Vinted - saving thousands by buying clothes with a whopping 95% RRP discount. Rosie Beech reckons she's saved £5,000 and even pocketed an additional £400 from selling on garments 15-month-old Jack Beech has outgrown.

When the 31-year-old fell pregnant she was stunned at how expensive baby clothes and toys were - a few friends recommended online marketplace Vinted so she downloaded the app. The mum-of-one said she 'fell down a rabbit hole' and completely in love with the platform so much that 80% of her tiny tot's wardrobe has been snapped up from there.

The marketing and social media manager uses it to buy a range of pre-loved clothes, including Ralph Lauren baby grows worth £50, for as little as £2. The self-professed bargain hunter estimates that her thrifty shopping habits have seen her save up to £5,000 and that she's also made around £400 from selling on clothes Jack's outgrown.
