Thrifter finds 'world's best car boot sale' for bargains and it's closer than you think

A thrifting fanatic has revealed the location of what she believes is the 'best car boot sale in the world', and she claims it's full of great bargains and makes for a perfect family day out If you love a good bargain, you will no doubt be a fan of attending car boot sales, where the possibility of unearthing a hidden gem is often too tempting to ignore. That's the case for Becky Chorlton, who regularly documents her thrifting adventures and the discoveries she makes in discount stores on social media. ‌ "My most asked question is, 'How do you find the best car boot sales - and which one is your favourite?'" Becky began in a TikTok video. Sharing footage from such a location she described as the "best in the world," she revealed it opens every Saturday and Sunday from 6am to 1pm, with a 50p per person charge to get in. ‌ ‌ Becky went on to explain that the site is "absolutely huge" and bustling with buyers and sellers alike. "It takes a solid few hours to get round the whole thing," she continued, as she pointed out on-site facilities including a burger van that offers a full English breakfast, face-painting for the kids as well as a hairdresser and a live band performing. Becky went on to tease that the car boot also includes a butcher, a fresh produce vendor and "rows upon rows" of stalls. ‌ On this particular visit, she said she managed to "score so many bargains," including Jellycat soft toys, vintage clothes and things for the house. "Most items were only £1," Becky hailed. "It's a proper family vibe and a good day out - there's something for everyone and we actually ended up leaving with four giant IKEA bags full of stuff - that's how good this car boot sale is." Of course, the burning question is: where can this car boot sale be found? ‌ "If you're in the area - and even if you are not - this place is 100 per cent worth visiting," Becky closed as she detailed on screen that it is located in Skirlington, near Driffield in East Riding of Yorkshire. Writing in response to the video, one of the car boot sale's organisers added further details: "£10 a car, £14 a van - great value for such a busy car boot! "The new Saturday events are thriving, perfectly located near Hornsea, Bridlington and Beverley on the East Coast. Find us at YO25 8SY, Hornsea Road, Skirlington Market." A second person was just as impressed by it, declaring: "I love Skirlington car boot! Got lots of bargains there!" A third added in shock: "Omg this looks INSANE! Actually a day out!" Whilst a fourth TikTok user pointed out: "It's even bigger at Easter, we go every year!" To which Becky replied: "Yep and Bank Holiday weekends are huge too."

Her reselling career came from humble beginnings as a university student. She started by selling pieces she already has in her own wardrobe on second-hand selling platforms Depop and Vinted. She previously told Fabulous: 'As a student I had a part-time job in a shoe shop, earning around £6 an hour, but I knew I could earn more from reselling. READ MORE ON CAR BOOTS ABSOLUTE STEAL I found ultra-rare paintings at a car boot sale - they're worth thousands 'I started off small, selling my own clothes online from a little rail in my bedroom. I already had so much stuff that I'd bought from charity shops and it was all worth more than what I'd paid.' Becky began earning £100 a week and realised she could earn even more so started buying extra stock often with her mum, Sandra, by her side. But almost six years on, she now scours car boot sales and charity shops to sell items online and can rake in £3,000 a month. Now she shares the exact items and brands that you must look out for if you want to make quick cash and how to navigate the world of car boot sales. I earn cash by selling 'actual rubbish' on eBay - I flogged a freebie I found on the floor by a bin for £10, it's crazy How to prepare If you've never been woken up by a 5am alarm to get to a car boot sale nice and early, then your first time there can be daunting. Fortunately Becky has shared some tips on what you can expect and what you need to prepare. The first tip is to plan before you go, join Facebook groups to see local car boot sales near you, what times they open and what they sell. You also want to make sure you check the weather before heading out as it can have a massive impact on how many sellers turn up. Always bring cash as you won't find card readers and bring reusable bags for your goods. Becky also says you need to go in with an open mind rather than looking for a specific item. She says: "The joy of shopping second hand is finding unique pieces you love, see the potential in items you may not like at first glance." Becky also says you need to rummage and not miss a section to get the best goodies. "All the treasures are usually hidden in boxes and trinkets everybody else is too lazy to look in so get digging," she adds "Sometimes I find the best stuff in bags on the floor or on a rail that is difficult to get to don't be afraid to climb over things or get down on your hands & knees." If you do plan to resell items, make sure you thoroughly check them for holes and stains while there, otherwise you might have to drop the price. How to barter While Becky tends not to barter with sellers, she does recommend it if you're buying for yourself. The first thing to remember is if you don't ask you don't get so don't be shy with asking for a cheaper price. On the other hand, Becky says don't be cheeky and be realistic. "If you're buying multiple items from a particular stall, make sure you ask about a cheaper bundle price," she recommneds. Another pro tip from Becky is to not look too interested in the item you want. She explains: Try not to look too interested in the item you want to buy before asking, if the stall holder knows you really want it they most likely won't lower the price." 5 Becky now makes £3,000 a month scouring car boot sales and charity shops Credit: Becky's Bazaar Spotting a fake As a reseller, Becky knows how to spot a fake easily, but it might not be as easy if you're just starting out. She says: "Check the label & tags, look for misspelling or poorly replicated logos. Genuine brands use consistent fonts and sizing."

"I came across a McDonalds drive thru play set from the early 2000s which was being sold for £8, I listed it on eBay and it sold just before Christmas for £350." Becky also recommends looking for old vintage biker and racing jackets. One she found was covered in mud but cost just £50 so she took it home and cleaned it and then found the same one in a Fiorucci store in London Soho with a price tag of £250 on it. Other products to look out for include Vintage Nike which have a silver Nike tag, as well as anything y2k themed as it's back in fashion.

I was so excited when I nabbed a £2.49 Morrisons Too Good To Go bag – but what I found inside made me feel sick

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BARGAIN hunter thought she'd scored a cheap dinner win with her Too Good To Go bag – but what she found inside left her feeling queasy. Becky Chorlton was hoping for a surprise feast when she eagerly collected a 'hot food' £2.49 bag from her local Morrisons Café. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 One thrifty foodie felt sick after she received her Too Good To Go bag from Morrisons Credit: Jam Press 3 Becky paid less than £3 for the bag which reduces food waste Credit: Jam Press 3 The boxes contained a vacuum-sealed chicken tikka masala alongside boil-in-the-bag rice Credit: Jam Press But when she opened up the two mysterious boxes, what she found inside left her feeling 'sick'. The boxes contained a vacuum-sealed chicken tikka masala alongside boil-in-the-bag rice. In a video posted to her TikTok account, Becky, who has 415,000 followers, gasped: 'Oh my God, what is that? That's so weird, what the hell? 'I'm not sure about that. That kind of gives me the heebie-jeebies.' Too Good To Go bags are a popular way to grab a mix of tasty, often freezer-safe meals at a bargain price while doing your bit to reduce food waste. The video, which racked up 788,000 views, showed an undeterred Becky, who is from Cheshire and runs a vintage clothing business, peeking into box number two. Her mood instantly changed when she spotted seven hash browns, three slabs of black pudding and a mountain of sausages. Viewers were split in the comments, with some impressed by the value and others were put off by the contents of the first box. One commenter said: 'I'd be the exact same with meat in a bag, even chicken in microwave meals can make me feel a bit dodgy sometimes.' Another added: 'It's £2.49 be grateful.' The simple chocolate cake recipe using only TWO ingredients - it's sweet and you won't even need to put it in the oven Another person said: 'That's not bad at all – sure, the plastic pouches aren't appetising, but any food would look like that in a plastic pouch.' Jam Press has approached Morrisons, who declined to comment. How to save on your supermarket shop THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop. You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they've been reduced. If the food is fresh, you'll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time. Making a list should also save you money, as you'll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket. Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too. This means ditching "finest" or "luxury" products and instead going for "own" or value" type of lines. Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they're misshapen or imperfect. For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50. If you're on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too. Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund. How does Too Good To Go work? To use Too Good To Go, download its app on your smartphone and create an account. You can then select your area by entering your location and drop the pin on where you'll be picking up your surplus food bags. On the app, you can select the distance you'd be willing to travel, based on whether you'll be walking, using public transport or driving. The app will then show you the Too Good To Go locations available in your area. These are grouped in categories including supermarkets, groceries and baked goods. There are also options to collect food straight away, or later for dinner. You can then scroll through the app to see what's available and click "see all" to check all the options within a category. Too Good To Go will then tell you how much you can save with each surprise bag. Prices usually range between £2 and £6, with shoppers saving at least 30% on every order. When clicking on a listing, you will get information on the exact location of the cafe, restaurant or supermarket, as well as collection times available, and the price of the bag. The listing also shows the average rating other users have given that particular business. Once you've decided what you want to pick up, simply click the "reserve" button to ensure it is assigned to you. You'll be asked to add your bank details to confirm the reservation and you'll then receive an email including an invoice and a time window for your collection. Then go to the shop at the assigned time, show your collection on the app to a staff member and enjoy your discounted surplus food.
