In this eye-opening episode, Ingrid and Lesley reveal how seemingly harmless freebies can become stealthy saboteurs in your quest for an organised home and peaceful mind. They'll uncover the hidden costs of "free" items and share practical strategies to help you become more intentional about what you allow into your space.

From impulse-driven supermarket two-for-ones to digital app trials that multiply faster than you can cancel them, Ingrid and Lesley explore ten common types of freebies that might be working against your decluttering goals. They share personal experiences and honest insights about the psychology behind why we're drawn to free items, even when logic tells us we don't need them.

The discussion covers both physical clutter culprits like cosmetic counter samples and event goodie bags, as well as digital space invaders such as free trials and social media distractions. You'll discover how these seemingly innocent acquisitions can accumulate over time, creating both physical chaos and mental overwhelm.
