More than a quarter of Brits have been struck with “freebie fever” – as 28% actively seek out free items due to the cost-of-living strain.
Two-thirds of 2,000 adults polled say they have picked up a free item in the past six months – the first time doing so, for 29% of those.
The top free items Brits are on the lookout for include books, children's clothes, and toys – while tech items, such as phones and laptops, are also popular.
