Listen "S2 E16: The Aldi adventure that broke us & mining waste"
Episode Synopsis
This week on Chic to Be Cheap, Jac takes on Aldi with a baby and a toddler — a mission she may never attempt again. From trolley tantrums to checkout chaos, it’s a masterclass in trying to save money while surviving motherhood.Mad shares a chaotic story about planning a pub dinner that never happened (thanks to a missing car) and how homemade mac and cheese nearly broke her spirit — and her budget.Jac also dives into the Landline episode on Bega, unpacking how the story focused not on mining waste from the ground, but on the waste already above it — the metals and materials we throw away in old technology. It’s a smart take on how Bega is working toward a circular economy, turning waste into opportunity and proving sustainability can start in your own backyard.If you’ve ever been caught between chaos, kids and keeping costs down, this one’s for you.
