Welcome back to Get Organised with Decluttr Me! In this episode, I’m diving into the eye-opening documentary Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy and exploring the clever (and sometimes sneaky) tactics retailers and online platforms use to make us buy more than we need.
We’ll talk about:
🛍️ How fast fashion and online shopping encourage overconsumption
🛒 The psychological tricks brands use, from countdown timers to personalised recommendations
💳 The hidden dangers of “buy now, pay later” schemes
📦 How Amazon, Temu, and other big retailers keep us hooked on shopping
🌍 The shocking reality of shopping waste, including how Ghana has become a dumping ground for unwanted fast fashion
Shopping isn’t just about buying things—it’s emotional, habitual, and often manipulated by external forces we don’t even notice. In this episode, I’ll share my thoughts on Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy, my own experiences with shopping habits, and practical tips on how to shop less, waste less, and be more intentional with what we buy.
