According to the thrift enthusiast, charity shop Age UK – which has a number of locations across the country – is offering some incredible deals at a low price, including clothing essentials for pocket change.

Other items she came across while browsing the aisles included a cute giant dollhouse for £1.50, children's tops for 25p and even some designer stuff, like a Kenzo T-shirt for just 50p – and these are usually too buy for around £100 depending on design.

Another said: “You can always find nice stuff here, just never in my size.”

Someone else wrote: ''The ones near me are so expensive, £30 for a Sylvanian house with pen on it and no accessories.''

''You'd have a heart attack if you came to the charity shops in the Midlands, they won't even give you a porter for less than 50p,'' a fourth added.

The mother of two is proud that she has a wardrobe that is 99% second-hand and that the majority of her children's clothes are also second-hand.

Francesca said the key to bagging a bargain is to visit charity shops as much as possible, look for 'hidden' items in the children's and menswear areas and refurbish broken garments.

For the cheapest deals, the frugal whiz recommended heading to towns and cities in the North and also visiting the less affluent areas for better deals.

“Saving is living, I absolutely love it.

'It haunts me to think that when I'm older and when I die, my children will have to live in this world – with all the things thrown away and all the pollution.

“I got a Chanel bag for £1 from Cancer Research in Rawtenstall and a Louis Vuitton bag for £3.50 a few months ago from a recycling center in Manchester.

“I go into the store with a clear vision of what I want and manifest what I want.

“I think I saved about £20,000 by buying second hand and I went on family holidays to Rome and Lanzarote last year because of the money I saved.”
