Could you go an entire year without buying a single piece of clothing, shoes, or accessories? For radio host Jess Farchione, the answer was yes – but it all started with a $550 dress she bought on impulse and then regretted.

After realising her spending habits were driven by boredom and dopamine hits rather than genuine need, Jess embarked on a strict "No Spend" challenge for all of 2025. In today's episode Leigh is finding out how that really went for her. 

EVERYTHING MENTIONED:

Leigh's Budget: Uniqlo U Cotton Crew Neck T-Shirt 

Jess's Budget: Quay Sunglasses 

Leigh's Boujie: Levi's Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans $159.95
