S2 E19: We went on hiatus...inflation did not.

<p>We said we’d be back after Christmas… and then four months disappeared.</p><p>Not intentionally... life just moved quickly. A new project popped up for us, we got busy, and before we knew it the podcast kept getting pushed to “next week”.</p><p>But lately it feels like everywhere you look there’s something new to worry about. Talk of war, fuel prices climbing, groceries creeping up again… it can feel a bit relentless.</p><p>So we felt pulled back to the mic.</p><p>This episode is exactly what Chic to be Cheap has always been about, real conversations about money without the shame, the extremes or the unrealistic advice.</p><p>We’re sharing the small things we’re personally doing right now to feel a bit more in control - reviewing expenses, questioning subscriptions, being more intentional with everyday spending, and reminding ourselves that small changes still count.</p><p>It’s also filled with the usual light-hearted chaos, tangents and humour because not everything has to feel heavy, even when the world does.</p><p>Nothing groundbreaking. Nothing perfect. Just honest.</p><p>We’ve missed this. And we’re really glad to be back in your ears.</p><p></p>

The Christmas ep

<p>It’s our Christmas ep, Chic skates, the last one for the year (with a little IRL bonus coming your way soon 🎁).</p><p>This week we kick things off exactly how you’d expect from us: off-key carols, childhood nostalgia and Maddy getting completely rage-baited by a rogue baking influencer. Then we dive into the real gold.</p><p>This week we asked you:<br><strong>What Christmas presents did you buy last year that your kids are </strong><strong>still</strong><strong> using?</strong><br>And honestly… the answers were elite. Some absolute gems a few shockers and one super-hyped toy we are not sold on 👀</p><p>We also chat:</p><ul><li><p>Thriftmas (secondhand girlies rise)</p></li><li><p>The Yoto craze - worth it or nah?</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>And <strong>Jacqui’s full 3-minute campaign</strong> on why trendy, aesthetic Christmas trees are ruining the vibe.Maddy gave her a standing ovation. Deserved.</p></li></ul><p>A wholesome, silly, surprisingly helpful wrap-up to the year - with plenty of ideas to help you nail Christmas gifting without blowing the budget.</p><p>Pop us on while you wrap, bake or escape to the pantry.<br>Merry Christmas, you beautiful Chic skates 🎄✨</p><p><br></p>

S2 E17: Stop doing this to your teeth (please) W/ Dr Brodie Hawker

<p>This week we’re joined by dentist and mum of two, <strong>Dr Brodie Hawker</strong>, and she does not hold back. Within minutes she’s telling us:</p><p>“Just floss your goddamn teeth,”<br>and<br>“Lemon water every day will literally melt your enamel.”</p><p>In this episode we get into:</p><ul><li><p>Why <strong>tap water with fluoride</strong> has quietly saved Australians from tonnes of fillings</p></li><li><p>How a couple of <strong>$45 X-rays</strong> can save you <strong>thousands</strong> in root canals later</p></li><li><p>The <strong>exact Colgate whitening toothpaste</strong> she actually rates (and waits to buy half-price)</p></li><li><p>Why she says <strong>water flossers are overrated</strong> and cheap floss wins</p></li><li><p>Whether <strong>HiSmile</strong> is dentist-approved or just good branding</p></li><li><p>How often you really need to go to the dentist – and when extras cover is actually worth it</p></li></ul><p>Plus: kids who won’t let you brush, tank water families, toothbrush heads that haven’t been changed in 18 months, and the gross side of dentistry.</p><p>If you drink lemon water, avoid flossing or haven’t had a check-up in years... this one’s going to hurt just enough to help.</p><p></p>
