I Fear I've Entered the Dollar Tree Economy

In this week’s call, we discuss what happens when the cheap stuff isn’t cheap anymore. From Dollar Tree’s identity crisis to the strange economics of everyday shopping, what starts as a conversation about discount stores turns into a broader argument about affordability, class, and who “budget” living is really for now. We also get into a domestic point of contention: grocery shopping, household roles, and why Dad finds it deeply suspicious that my husband handles the supermarket.Want it ad-free? Stop hovering on the free feed and join The Eavesdroppers on The Tapped Line for unhinged Friday drops, ad-free episodes and more.
