ONE lucky shopper bagged a haul worth £300 for just a FIVER at Britain's cheapest shop where everything is 20p.

Steve Nelson, 62, launched The 20p Shop in Otley, West Yorkshire, around five years ago - and it has soared in popularity ever since.

Shop assistant Sue McKie, 53, showed off one basket of 25 goodies costing just £5 - including phone cases, headphones and cosmetics.

If she shopped with high-street shops or online giants, Sue's haul could have cost her up to £296.41.

Sue spent 20p on a Twinkle Twinkle Little Star musical book in The 20p Shop. If she bought a similar book on Amazon, she could have forked out £11.69.
