Bargain Boss: Aussie mum saves $15k at the checkout

Amanda Dean, 39, shares her story of saving money through thrifty tips and supermarket deals on her Instagram account.

She recalls an instance where she found a pair of discounted pyjamas on the shelf, marked down from $30 to $2, and immediately put them in her basket.

My thrifty mum was my superhero.

Amanda's frugal nature was instilled in her by her mother, Christine, who raised her on her own and taught her the importance of sticking to a budget and making a dollar stretch.

Christine, a hardworking nurse, would often look out for good sales and even handmade some outfits, while also cooking nutritious meals at home.

Amanda and her mother had a special weekly tradition of having $1 hot dogs at the servo on their mum-and-daughter date night.

Amanda's frugal approach has allowed her to save $15k, and she continues to share her tips and deals with her followers.
