A SOCIAL media sensation from Warrington has racked up millions of views filming her adventure of buying lost luggage.
Having featured previously in the Warrington Guardian, Lymm resident Becky Chorlton is arguably the town’s thriftiest resident.
Having furnished her new home using only items bought from Facebook Marketplace, saving hundreds of pounds, she is also a regular at car boot sales.
She films her adventures and posts them on her Becky’s Bazar social media channels – which has gained 17.5million likes on TikTok.
Becky has hit gold again with a recent exploit – buying unclaimed lost luggage left behind at airports – gaining more than 10million views between them.

Auctions for such luggage are held across the country, with Becky buying one unclaimed from London Heathrow Airport.
For just £80, she bought a wrapped suitcase which was delivered to her door, which unwrapped was found to be a designer Desley item – selling for £275 at Selfridges.
Having already made her money back, Becky proceeded to open the case and found it belonged to a woman -including everything from cosmetics to clothing and even underwear.
More designer clothing was packed, including a Tommy Hilfiger waterproof jacket worth around £100, H&M items with price tags attached and a Guess bag, although this was found to be a fake.
Commenting on the buy, Becky said: “I was a little sceptical about buying this because most of the reviews say it’s a scam.
“I’m just not sure what I think. It’s a little strange there’s no socks or shoes and other things that you’d need for a holiday in this case.”
She is planning to buy more soon, and you can see what she finds on her Becky’s Bazar social media channels.
Speaking to the Warrington Guardian earlier this year, the 25-year-old said: “I have always been into thrifting and shopping second hand.
“So, whenever I saw something little that I really liked, I would buy it and keep it aside.”
