'I couldn't afford Christmas presents for my family so rummaged through bins'
A mum who has been crippled by the cost of living crisis claims she saved her son's Christmas by rummaging through bins to find presents.
"I've saved around £200 on Christmas gifts. I found an operation game, Minecraft stuff and I've done Charlie's bedroom up so I've found some stuff for there. I found brand new nerf guns for my son and nephews. The carer estimates she's found around £5,000 worth of stuff since she started rooting through shop bins and she makes around £50 per month selling some of her finds online.
"A lot of stuff I find I pass onto people because everyone is struggling. I always tell them where it's come from. Charity shops throw loads of stuff out, they never throw out clothes, but they'll chuck out a lot of stuff with tags on that they haven't sold. Rachael says her dad taught her not to let things go to waste when she was a child. She started rummaging through bins after seeing students leave clothes and furniture behind at the end of term.
