I got brand new ‘designer’ wardrobes for me, the hubby and the kids on holiday in Turkey – nothing cost more than £30
A MONEY saving mum has shared her huge haul of clothes she bought while on holiday in Turkey for her whole family.
The 28-year-old nabbed loads of stunning items and they were all total bargains.

Showing the haul off on TikTok, the Wales native started off with a few bits she bought for her kids from various shops in Turkey.
Her son got a Spiderman-themed football kit as well as a posh Manchester United kit.
The kids also both got a pair of ‘Nike‘ high top trainers, one in black and white and the other in a red and black.
For herself, the mum bagged some ‘New Balance‘ trainers as well the the popular ‘Dior’ trainers, which cost £890 on Dior’s website, as well sandals for £20 from one shop.
In fact, the shoe selection was so great that even her husband got three pairs of ‘Nike’ trainers for next to nothing
The clothes were also mega cheap, however this is likely because they aren’t genuine designer goods, which buying can pose many risks.
For both the kids, she also got her hands on some hoodies and bought ‘Moschino’ ones and a ‘Palm Angels’ one.
Not only that, but savvy shopper even got her hands on two bottles of perfume for £15 each.
“We did plenty of haggling,” the mum explained.
“The most expensive thing was the ‘Nike’ trainers for £30, everything else was under.”
The mum bagged everything in Bodrum, while on holiday, and even had to buy a faux ‘Louis Vuitton’ bag to put everything in to take back home – which would’ve set her hack £1,510 if she bought the real deal.
After sharing the haul on TikTok other jet setters were excited to get their hands on some similar bargains.
One said: “I cannot wait to go! Those Dior trainers though.”
And a second commented: “I’m heading to Gumbet in two weeks and can’t wait.”
But not everyone loved the bargains and someone else slammed: “These are the worst fakes, I feel bad.”
Buying fakes: The Risks
It might be tempting to buy bargain knock offs while on holiday since they’re often a lot cheaper than the real deal. But in some countries, buying counterfeit goods is illegal and it could mean huge fines or even jail time.
Counterfeiting is a crime
The industry often exploits labour and fuels organised crime.
Despite being illegal, in some factories in Turkey children are employed to make the counterfeit goods, Wiser Market reports.
Although fakes are sometimes associated with poor quality this isn’t always the case.
According to the European Consumer Centre (ECC), different countries in Europe have different laws when it comes to carrying counterfeit souvenirs.
