The new trend of 'underconsumption core' is taking on Black Friday, but is this thrifty, anti-consumerist vibe even achievable for parents who are the ultimate victims of the 'stuff' economy? Special guest host Luca Lavigne joins Stacey Hicks and Monique Bowley to unpack.
Plus, casual nudity is slowly disappearing from the public pool and gym change rooms but what does this mean for our kids? Welcome to the era of physical prudes but emotional nudists.
And, we're stumbling into Spotify Wrapped season, the annual moment of profound parental shame. We unpack the need for a 'Parent Incognito Mode' that censors results because nobody wants their friends seeing 9,000 hours of Chicken Boonana or KPop Demon Hunters.
Our Recommendations:
👕 Stacey wants you to try a clever laundry hack.
💸 Monz recommends the instagram account Two Broke Chicks for all the Black Friday deals.
🛍️ Luca is obsessed with the app Shopback to get some money back on the purchases you're planning.
And an extra recommendation, to watch Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy on Netflix.
