We've all been there - that midnight scroll that ends with a cart full of regret, or falling for a "bargain" that sits unworn with tags still on. This week, Tamara Holland and Lucinda Pikkat are taking over the pod while Leigh's away, diving deep into our biggest shopping mistakes and how to actually fix them. They're unpacking the psychology behind "consolation prize" shopping - you know, when you can't afford the designer piece you really want, so you end up buying cheaper versions that never quite hit the mark. Spoiler alert: you usually end up spending more money and feeling less satisfied! Plus, they're tackling the dangerous world of late-night shopping (we see you, 3am feeds and doom scrolling), buying fantasy pieces for lives we don't actually lead, and the trap of shopping for our "dream bodies" instead of the ones we have right now.
