A SAVVY mum will be relaxing in the coming months instead of Christmas shopping after she snapped her presents last year during the boxing day sales
Lindsay Burgess saved a whopping £700 by snapping up 80% of the gifts she needed for Christmas this year.
The mum knew she had to reduce her spending after unexpectedly falling pregnant at 42 and had to give up her job due to medical issues, meaning her income plummeted.
The 49-year-old revealed she bought all her Christmas gifts and birthday presents during the post-Christmas sales for up to half price.
Lindsay, who's a full-time carer for her disabled son is renowned for being 'Miss Efficient' among friends and family.
But 'chipping away' at the momentous task of buying gifts for 16 people is not only cost-effective but also means she's not running around 'like a headless chicken' in December.

And Linsay is so organised she even has most of her Christmas presents wrapped up already.
The mum-of-one said that savvy shopping has become a 'way of life' and she regularly shares her tips and tricks online in a bid to help other families who may also need to tighten their belts.
Lindsay, from Preston, Lancashire, said: "The earliest I've ever started my Christmas shopping is Boxing Day but generally speaking I start on the 27th.
"I'm usually done and dusted before the end of October and it's usually all wrapped and put away as well.
