I make my 3 kids DIY pick & mix bags for 35p every summer as I'm sick of getting guilt tripped at the corner shop
Plus, how to survive six weeks of school summer holidays THAT'S SWEET I make my 3 kids DIY pick & mix bags for 35p every summer as I'm sick of getting guilt tripped at the corner shop THE summer holidays can feel like a marathon of small expenses, and for many parents, the daily trip to the corner shop is a guilty pleasure that quickly drains the wallet. One genius mum has had enough, and she's found a brilliant way to beat the "can I have a sweet?" guilt trip while saving a fortune. Advertisement 3 A mum has discovered a super savvy hack to help make summer holidays more affordable Credit: Getty The savvy mother-of-three, known as 'savvysavingmamaxo' on TikTok, shared a video revealing her simple yet effective trick. Frustrated that a quick visit to the local shop could easily cost over £10, she decided to pre-empt the inevitable pleas for treats. Her solution? A DIY pick-and-mix station. She took a trip to Farmfoods and spent just £8.87 on a mountain of different sweets. Advertisement To make the haul go even further, she shared a clever hack: chopping up strawberry laces into smaller pieces to stretch them across more bags. Using pouches she already had at home, she created 25 individual sweet bags. The result was a miracle for her family budget. From her initial spend, the cost of each bag came to a stunning 35p. Not only does the hack save a small fortune, but it also helps with portion control and ensures she's fully stocked for the entire summer. Advertisement The video, captioned with a shout-out to Farmfoods for helping her save "some serious pennies," quickly gained over 104,000 views. Shoppers rushed to share their thoughts and praise her creativity. I ditched the UK & bought a house for the same price as a summer holiday One commenter wrote: "Great idea mixing it all up," admitting they usually "stand there counting out each sweet equally in case they moan that one has a sweet they didn't get." Another added: "My mum used to put a pillow, colouring book, pens, sweets, drinks in the car when we were going on holiday for each of the three of us. We LOVED it. Advertisement Creativity is key.' The hack even inspired one user to make a bag for themselves: 'I wanna do this for myself let alone my son. Love how cheap it was!' Three ways to save cash this summer Travel Smarter, Not Harder Forget the stress of finding and paying for parking by hopping on a train. For groups of three to nine adults, you can save big with GroupSave, which offers a third off the price of off-peak tickets. For a budget-friendly option, consider FlixBus, which connects various UK cities to popular beach spots like Brighton and Bournemouth, with tickets often starting from just £5.

Websites like are a great resource for finding and booking private driveways for a fee. Advertisement Pack Like a Pro To keep the little ones occupied for hours, a bit of preparation is key. Challenge them to a treasure hunt for the most unique shells and stones, a sand-sculpting contest, or a game of tic-tac-toe in the sand. Be sure to bring your own bucket and spade to avoid overpaying at beachfront shops. The same goes for essentials like sun cream, which is often far more expensive near the beach. By packing your own towels and a parasol, you can skip the costly sun lounger rentals. Advertisement You can even find a reusable beach parasol for as little as £4.99 at places like Home Bargains, an investment that will pay off trip after trip. Keep Costs Down with Your Own Food Beachside food and drinks can quickly inflate the cost of your day out. A simple trick is to freeze plastic bottles of squash overnight; they'll act as a refreshing, chilled drink that melts throughout the day. For a cool treat, pack homemade ice lollies in a cooler mug to keep them frozen for a few hours. Advertisement And don't forget to pack plenty of snacks that won't spoil in the heat, such as crisps, nuts, and breadsticks.

So, how is this possible? Japan has a thriving market for authenticated, pre-owned luxury goods.

Combined with the strong yen, this creates a unique opportunity for international shoppers to find designer pieces at prices that are often significantly lower than those in Europe or the US Revealing an unboxing video, Lauran revealed she ordered a second-hand Louis Vuitton City Bag PM size which is worth £1,600. But rather than paying the full whack, Lauran paid £550 for the dream accessory. Unboxing it, the fashion fan revealed that it was 'literally perfect'. A quick search on eBay brought up a flood of listings - all from Japan. It was here she discovered a thriving, regulated market for authenticated second-hand luxury goods.

She explained that in Japan, strict laws prohibit the sale of counterfeit items, and sellers are required to provide a used item license number, offering an extra layer of assurance. The bag, which she snagged for £550, was described as "very obviously used," but to her delight, it arrived in what she called "incredible" condition. She found the perfect balance of style and practicality, with the PM size accommodating her 13-inch MacBook Air - making it the ideal new work companion.
