Heidi Ondrak used to think nothing of shelling out £50 for a dress or spending £150 on a pair of boots, regularly splurging £200 on a single internet binge. But when her energy bills trebled and food bills doubled, she set her sights on charity shops, jumble sales and online auctions for all her wardrobe essentials.
As a result the 51-year-old glam mum ditched the high street and now buys designer outfits from charity shops for just a few pounds. Heidi made the New Year's resolution to shop pre-worn only for a whole year after noticing her wardrobe was full of pricey unused items bought during lockdown.
And so far she's managed to bag a Peruvian Connection £198 cardigan for just £4 and a Hobbs dress worth £200 dress for £10. The savings savvy mum also picked out an entire spring wardrobe for her daughter for just £21 courtesy of a car-boot sale.
