Posting on , Beth said: “Come shopping with me to pick up my free birthday treats!”
First things first, Beth went into one of her “favourite ” – Space NK.
The fan beamed: “You get a free goodie bag with three minis including NARS – no minimum spend.”
Following this, Beth headed to Rituals, Krispy Kreme and Hotel Chocolat to continue stocking up on birthday freebies.
She added: “Next up was where you get a free full-sized shower oil – the minimum spend requirement was £10.
“It used to be a hand gel or hand wash but they’ve changed that recently, so I had any choice of a shower oil – I chose the pink one which smells insane.
“Then we headed to Krispy Kreme where you get a free doughnut on your birthday and you also get a free glazed doughnut when you download the app.
“There’s loads of really good rewards on the rewards program, so it’s definitely worth checking those out.
“Then we went straight to , which is one of my favourite shops – there’s £5 off a minimum spend of £5.50.
“There are some items in the shop for just under £6, but I decided that I really wanted to go for one of the range chocolates, which was £9.95 I think, so I had £5 off my order.”
After walking around the shops, Beth decided it was time for lunch, but of course she wouldn’t be spending a penny as she continued: “I couldn’t leave without going to where you get a free box with one topping of your choice.”

Five savvy mum hacks to save you a fortune
ANY parent knows just how pricey it can be to feed the kids - especially if they're a fan of branded, expensive products. But there are a few hacks that can help save you money, as mum-of-two and Fabulous Digital Senior Reporter Sarah Bull explained:
Batch cook
This is a hack that lots of mums, including myself, swear by. One thing I like to do is batch cook a tomato sauce – hiding a load of vegetables inside, including carrots, peppers and onion. Once it’s cooled, pop it into an ice cube tray to freeze. Then you can pop out the portions and bag up – ready to use for anything from a pasta sauce to a pizza base.
Home Happy meal
You’d be hard pushed to find a kid who doesn’t like McDonald’s. But with Happy Meals now priced at £3.89 each, it can be pricey getting them for your children – especially if you’ve got more than two. But why not try making your own home? Keep the packaging from your last trip to McDonald’s and cook up some chicken nuggets and fries in the air fryer. Pop a budget toy in a little bag and serve with a Fruit Shoot for a budget-friendly at home Happy Meal.
Make use of leftovers
If you’re savvy enough to plan things in advance, you can make use of leftovers to keep your kids sustained for another day. If you make something like pizza, for example, why not make enough for lunch the next day too? Lots of kids actually prefer cold pizza, and it’s especially useful if you make packed lunches for yours.
Get the kids involved
Not specifically a budget hack, but one that I’ve found always helps encourage kids to eat things they haven’t tried before. I’ve cooked things like fajitas, and put the ingredients all in different bowls, before getting the kids to make their own. While I’ve put out their favourites – like chicken, cheese and cucumber – I’ve also popped pepper and lettuce in a bowl. And, much to my delight, they both sampled that in their fajitas. What a score!
Ditch the brands
One thing that can make shopping much more expensive than it needs to be is going for branded products. We always used to be a family that swore by Heinz ketchup, refusing to go for anything else, but with the price of that shooting up, we’ve swapped for supermarket own brand ketchup and saved loads – especially considering how much of it we get through. If your kids are less than willing to make that swap, why not put the unbranded product in the branded product’s packaging and see if they notice the difference?
Beth’s clip, which was posted under the username @ neutralseverything , has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 712,000 views.
Social media users were stunned by Beth’s and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this.
One person said: “It’s my birthday next week, I’m downloading every app!!!!”
Another cried: “Can’t believe I missed Space NK on my birthday.”
A third gushed: “Perfect way to spend your birthday.”
Meanwhile, someone else chimed in and gushed: “Love this!”
At the same time, one user beamed: “I’ll be saving these for later! Thank you.”
