A mum-of-three has opened up about her thrifty hack for saving money on school photographs amid the ongoing cost of living crisis - choosing instead to take the snaps herself for free. Vickie Garraway, 38, began thinking of ways to cut costs after becoming pregnant with her third child, Freddie, nine months, and decided to start with school photo day.
The primary school teacher, who is also mum to Em-Jay, 11, and Vienna, six, used to save money by getting sibling school photos, as opposed to individual ones. This option however was stopped once Covid restrictions were brought in. Nowadays, Vickie, from Loughborough, Leicestershire, says the cheapest photo option available to her would cost £18 per snap, compared to just £9 in previous years.
