The Consumerists: A Podcast About Shopping

Quince, which recently launched in Canada, is a direct-to-consumer retail juggernaut that promises luxury quality at Target prices. But can it live up to the claims? Sara and Ricky take a deep dive and put it to the test.

Also in this episode: what Sara packed for her luxe vacation to Thailand, Ricky's kitchen renovation saga, and much more! Let's just say, cash registers have been ringing.

It might be The Consumerists’ favorite time of the year, but Sara and Ricky explain why breaking free from the algorithm might be the best present of all.

Also in this episode, Sara recaps the best things about getting married in a castle, and Ricky preps for a kitchen renovation. 

Happy shopping!

Full disclosure: Sara and Ricky recorded this late summer check in six weeks ago, but haven’t had time to post it until now because LIFE. BLEW. UP.

What have we been up to? Shopping of course, but other big, big things, too. Tune in to find out! P.S. we find a way to weave in a narrative about Hudson’s Bay just to keep it real!

Happy shopping!

Sara and Ricky are back with their annual gift guide. This year, we take the more is more approach, of course and suggest endless gift-giving opportunities in many different categories. Think of this guide as a gift giving approach (even though we do get highly specific at times).

DM us what you're buying this Christmas and your best Black Friday finds @theconsumerists

Preparation is the key to success in all facets of life, including Black Friday. In this week's episode we break down all of the strategies we'll employ to dominate on November 29, from where we expect the biggest deals to how we stay organized and focused during emotionally charged times.

We're your boots on the ground and the shopping energy out there is real, everyone. It's going to be chaos so stick with us to squeeze every ounce of deals with these Black Friday tips and tricks.

Happy shopping!

This week on the Consumerists, we are in Sara’s new house discussing light fixtures, art investments, and cracking the code to cohesion. We also can’t stop thinking about Black Friday. There’s an energy out there, and we’re catching the wave. But we wonder if will we want to shop online or in store this year? Also in this episode, we discuss Le Creuset, West Elm, Nespresso, Zara, IKEA’s Christmas collection, Crate and Barrel, and Lee Valley. Happy Shopping!

Lots of shopping can happen in five months, especially if you're Sara and Ricky. Join us as we fill you in on all the goods, including Sara's once-in-a-lifetime shopping spree, and why Ricky's firmly in his Nancy Meyers era. Also in this episode: West Elm, Pottery Barn, Herman Miller, Mjolk, Neiman Marcus, and Dillard's. Happy shopping!

We're back, and we promise to never leave! Why? Because, while we've taken a hiatus, our shopping habits certainly have not. Ricky is on the hunt for outdoor furniture, and Sara is on a hunt for the biggest purchase of her life!

Plus, we impart some new mathematical equations to inspire you to shop guilt free!

Happy shopping!

We bought many, many things in the past 12 months, and we share the highs and lows. Which sunscreen keeps Sara's skin looking fresh and dewy? Which kitchen appliance delighted Ricky?

Plus, we share our latest finds, and bond over the Roman Empire. But the real question is: How many times do YOU think of Dakota Johnson's AD house tour?

Happy shopping!

The Consumerists is back for Season 6 of your favourite podcast about shopping. It's been a year of intense market research, and Sara and Ricky are here to report on their findings. Fall is in the air, and that means a new year (according to Sara's calendar) of oversharing about overspending. We're in the market for key items in our wardrobe, iconic decor, fragrance, and beauty, so listen along and try to keep up! It feels great to be back.
