MANY vloggers show off their aspirational lifestyles on YouTube, revealing wardrobes and items many people would dream of having.
Thankfully more social media stars are bringing out “bargain hauls”, showcasing affordable products from the likes of Poundland, Home Bargains and Wilkos.
These videos are proving highly popular with the audiences of the stars, especially as some of the YouTubers are mums or students themselves.
The bargain hauls include deals they have found on household items and cleaning products, as well as some beauty items.
Many claim they don’t get sponsorship or commission for their videos, but do it as their fans love to be savvy with their money.
Here are four British YouTubers who are racking up thousands of views with their affordable hauls…
Kate Munrane, 27, from Kent, regularly uploads great deals she has found from stores like B&M, Poundland and TK Maxx.
Her videos have proved so popular she now has 310,000 subscribers on her channel.
Kate said that many of her viewers are mums, so videos that include cleaning and household items go down well online.
She also said that the majority of people shop on the high street, so her bargain hauls are much more accessible for the average subscriber.
TOTAL: £84.60
Mum-of-two Liza Prideaux, from Devon, claims to be an “honest face of parenting” when it comes to her videos on YouTube.
She posts videos three times a week, with some of them being bargain hauls from her shopping sprees.
She recently uploaded a Poundland sweep, showing numerous household items for the whole family.
TOTAL: £30
Lucy Jessica Carter, 26, from Wiltshire has amassed 83,000 subscribers thanks to her videos.
She started her channel after her vlogger sister persuaded her to try it out, and she said she also uploads Poundland hauls as she loves a bargain herself.
She said her videos are popular with fans as they like to decide beforehand if a trip to the store is worth it.
Lucy told : “I do the bargain hauls because quite frankly, I just love a bargain. Of course I love designer stuff as well, but as a mother-of-two I am on a budget.
“I have to prioritise my spending so Poundland and all the other bargain stores are always my go to for products.”

YouTuber Emily Norris, 35, from Essex, has managed to get a staggering 218,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel.
The mum-of-three started on YouTube during her maternity leave, and has now quit her marketing director job to pursue it full-time.
She said her bargain hauls are extremely popular with mums who don’t have the time to see what products the likes of Primark and Poundland are currently selling.
Emily typically includes cleaning products, snacks for kids and homeware goods in her clips.

The budget-friendly high-street chain also revealed that it will be selling a Mrs Potts tea pot and Chip mug as part of its homeware line, which was available from September.
