Super thrifty mum ditches expensive gifts and does all her Christmas shopping for just £30

A single mum has refused to buy expensive gifts for Christmas this year and she's managed to complete all her Christmas shopping for just £30. Lucy Clement, 39, from Didcot, Oxfordshire, decided she wanted to keep the cost of Christmas down so she went fully frugal when getting presents for everyone.

She bought secondhand items, made gifts and upcycled products for her son Rafiki, five, and her family and friends. After living in Uganda for six years, Lucy adapted to living without an Amazon or next-day delivery, so has become super thrifty and now loves teaching her son about the cost of living.
