The Grammy-winning singer has plenty of money in the bank, but she still can't resist a good deal

Adele has built up a pretty huge fortune over the years - but just because she's rich doesn't mean she likes to waste money.

Other celebrity mums (Kim Kardashian, we're looking at you) may deck their little ones out in designer clothes, but Adele is happy to dress her baby boy in bargain brands.

The 25-year-old mum - who welcomed son Angelo with partner Simon Konecki in October 2012 - was spotted Tuesday morning on London’s Kensington High Street, shopping for new clothes for her little man.

A source told Metro that the Grammy winner was flying solo as she hit up Gap and H&M.

Sporting dark sunglasses, the singer mostly blended in with the other shoppers. ‘She was looking at clothes for her son, I don’t think anyone in the shop even noticed it was her,’ an eyewitness told Metro.

‘She kept her head down and made her way through the rails of clothing pretty quickly, although she seemed to struggle between which t-shirts to choose.'

The source added that Adele, dressed in all black, perused some £5.99 t-shirts and £7.99 tracksuit bottoms in H&M before mulling over buy-one-get-one-half-price deals.

It's refreshing to see a celebrity mum shunning the ways of the rich and famous and making sensible decisions about baby clothes. After all, babies fit into that stuff for about five seconds before outgrowing them. It doesn't make sense to drop a ton of cash on something so temporary - no matter how wealthy you are.
