Sally McMullen.
Jumping straight into our quick fire questions with the Trash Alley queens, what are your three self care products that you can't live without and why?
Alright Hey
Mine would be, one, I love a sheet face mask, sets the mood right. Second is, my favourite skincare product is Lancome Genifique serum.
Mitchell Coombes
Oh I love that sh*t too. Add that to my list.
Alright Hey
Yep and number three, oh my god this is so weird but I'm on the spot, but I love doing like, what are those foot scrubber things in the shower, you know the pumice? Like those, you know, you get all the dead skin off? Yeah.
Mitchell Coombes
I've never used one in my life.
Alright Hey
You've never used one? Oh my god, I'd hate to see your feet.
Mitchell Coombes
They're divine, thank you very much.
We'll take a photo and put it in our Facebook group, Broke Chicks Club.
Alex Hourigan
Yes! Free foot pics in the Facebook group.
Mitchell Coombes
I'm not sending a photo! You're going to Google some foul foot and claim it's mine, aren't you? Nup!
Alex Hourigan
Absolutely.
Sally McMullen
Alright Mitch, what's your other two?
Mitchell Coombes
I don't know if this is self care or if it's just basic grooming, but I do love my nail file and buffer. Gotta love a shiny nail, makes me feel like I got my sh*t together.
Alright Hey
I've got anxiety, I can't relate.
Mitchell Coombes
Yeah. Actually on that, stress balls. Stress balls, I had to use one when I had a wrist injury just to like build the strength up. And now I just kind of have them in the car because when I'm feeling fidgety, and I would usually bite my nails, grab the stress ball and that's your fidget, you know? Itch scratched. So you got to get the stress balls and you won't bite your nails. Trust me. Trust me.
Alex Hourigan
Another life lesson.
Alright Hey
I'm learning so much today.
Mitchell Coombes
And the third one is my lavender eye pillow. They're bloody gorgeous.
Alex Hourigan
Ooh, that sounds lush.
Mitchell Coombes
It's like a little, like, a pin cushion if you like, but it's full of lavender and you put it on your eyes. It helps with the strain from looking at screens all day.
Alex Hourigan
Okay, next question. What is the item in your wardrobe that's like your go-to and you just can never see yourself getting rid of it?
Alright Hey
I just wear a lot of black T-shirts.
Mitchell Coombes
Yeah, any oversized black tees.
Alright Hey
Oversized black T-shirt!
Sally McMullen
Same, sis.
Mitchell Coombes
And also, I do love me a flannel. 'Cause you know, I can wear it,
Ya country boy!
Well, there is that. Yeah, but also, you know, you can wear them unbuttoned, as like an overshirt or you can wear it as a standalone. They're so versatile. I love them.
What is the worst or stupidest thing you've ever bought online?
Oh, Matt's got a story for that. I'm not even gonna bother telling mine.
Alright Hey
Oh, are we talking about the Kim Kardashian?
Mitchell Coombes
No, oh well there is that actually but I meant the skivvy.
Alright Hey
Oh no! Oh, yeah. Okay, so I got scammed. I purchased what I thought was going to be this gorgeous pearl dress for my birthday party last year. And it was like $100, which I thought was such a bargain. It was off this random website which looked really cool, it came up on Facebook ads.
Sally McMullen
Oh no.
Alright Hey
And anyway, I bought the dress and it came and it was literally like a dish cloth with pearls drawn on it. It was like this gorgeous pearl dress but then it came and it was literally dish cloth material with pearls on it. There's a video on my Instagram of me opening it and being like, "Oh, I was scammed!". Like that was literally heartbreaking because then I had nothing to wear for my birthday.
Mitchell Coombes
And it was like a kids size as well. Everything about it was wrong.
Alright Hey
But Kim Kardashian game, I accidentally spent $400 on that trying to level up. So, that was pretty stupid too!
Sally McMullen
That sounds like money well spent, darl!
Alex Hourigan
I loved that game. Mitch?
Mitchell Coombes
Well mine's not as fun as that but I bought a gobble off TikTok. They're not unlike a stress ball but rather than being completely made of foam, they're like hollow and kind of rubber, and they looked fun. And a TikTok ad came up and I was like, "I'm gonna buy that with 15 bucks". And then after a couple of months nothing arrived and I thought I've been scammed for sure. Eventually, it rocked up and it was just this piece of sh*t little plastic thing. And then separately to that, when I was out one night a friend of mine introduced me to his friends and said, "They're big advertisers at TikTok", and I said, "Oh, I fell for a TikTok ad once, it was a gobble", and they said, "Yeah that was us. We spent two cents on the little piece of sh*t plastic thing", and I spent $23. So there's, there's a way to make yourself rich. Buy sh*tty little plastic things for two cents and sell them for 23 bucks to idiots like me.
Literally. The theme here is Facebook ads and TikTok ads.
Yeah.
Sally McMullen
Don't do it.
Alex Hourigan
So what are your favourite brands to shop online and why?
Alright Hey
I don't shop online because I am overweight. So, I need to try my clothes on before I purchase them and I'm not a return **** like I'm not, like, going to order it and then return. But I do love, God it's fast fashion, kill me, but also, again there's nothing in my size. So, Fashion Nova, Boohoo, that's where I get a lot of fun outfits from.
Alex Hourigan
Lots of fun on trend styles as well.
Mitchell Coombes
Yeah, I'm the opposite, I love a return. I buy like four of everything, whenever I do a clothes order, and then I just return the ones that don't fit. I end up spending like two grand when I do an online shop but then I get most of it back.
Alright Hey
He returns $1,900 worth.
Mitchell Coombes
Exactly! No, it works out quite well actually, doing that.
And last but not least, what is your number one savvy shopping tip?
Why would you ask us? Do we look like we know sh*t? Do you think Charlie Teo asks me for tips on brain surgery? No, 'cause I don't know what I'm talking about!
Alright Hey
Doll, I forget my bags every time I go to Coles, so I am not a savvy shopper. I have spent probably $150 alone this, like, in the last 12 months on bloody 15 cent bags.
Mitchell Coombes
Yes!
Alright Hey
Because I just forget them every single time. They're in the car, I just walk in, you know, singing Kylie Minogue, thinking about other things.
Mitchell Coombes
I mean, I'd love to offer some wisdom, but I've got none in that area. So, can you tell us?
Alex Hourigan
Is there anything you would tell your younger self then maybe?
Mitchell Coombes
Grow up!
Alright Hey
Get your sh*t together, your problems are not real problems. Wait another 10 years babes, then you can cry about it. But you won't have time to cry about it, so don't worry about it.
Mitchell Coombes
It's all downhill, love.
Alright Hey
Sorry, you wanted inspiring? You got Trash Alley.
Mitchell Coombes
Well, on that note, I feel very inspired and let's wrap up. Thank you so much, Matt and Mitch for joining us on Two Broke Chicks and for dishing your shopping secrets and life hacks.
I don't want to leave people empty handed. Is there another episode of your podcast where there are shopping savvy tips? Because, like, we've got none.
Every Thursday.
Okay, good.
Alex Hourigan
Just left them all high and dry.
Alright Hey
So sorry.
Sally McMullen
But yes, if you did miss it, go back and listen to our full chat with Alright Hey and Mitchell Coombes, where we talk about the life lessons that we've learned from some of the most iconic moments in pop culture history. It's a bloody laugh riot. Be there or be square. But thanks for coming on the show angels.
Alright Hey
That's alright, doll.
Mitchell Coombes
Thanks for having us.
Alex Hourigan
Thank you. We had the worst time obviously, not one single laugh.
Mitchell Coombes
What's your name again?
