Refashionista Rants: Fake Deals and the Black Friday Trap

We need to talk about overconsumption and so called “deals” that quietly convince us to spend more than we ever planned. Black Friday. Cyber Monday. Holiday sales. It all looks like savings. It all sounds like opportunity. But the truth behind it is much bigger than shopping. It is conditioning.

I have been sharing DIY and sustainable style for over a decade and I have seen the tricks the retail world uses. Discount codes that are not discounts. Clearance that was never full price. Urgency timed into your anxiety. It is not designed to help you. It is designed to keep you spending.

So today we are diving into the real story behind fake deals, haul culture, and the marketing machine that turns consumption into a lifestyle. We are also taking the power back.

Today’s Live Topic:

• Why most sales are illusions
• How brands create the feeling of scarcity
• Why buying more never solves the real problem
• How influence and comparison feed overspending
• What the DIY mindset gives you that shopping never will

Use what you already have to make what you want. That is where the real savings are and the real confidence is.
