Kmart Admitted It, Eminem Lost It, Boohoo Faked It - Judging The Week's Sinners

Shaboo's gone full media mogul this week: the website is live, a vlogging camera is on the way, and the Shaboo Times is hot off the press. On the front page: Kmart finally admits the middle checkouts were a trap, the booze websites sending underage clickers to Toyworld, and mince at $24.40 a kilo, dearer than chicken breast now. Then the Sin Bin gets busy: Eminem loses a fight with two blokes selling togs, a landlord caught running an Airbnb out of his tenant's spare room, a diver who took 1,869 pāua "for the family", and Boohoo's sales that were secretly price rises. Plus: is an AI girlfriend cheating, the four-year catfish, and the boss who sacked a woman for resigning too politely. ⭐ SUBMIT YOUR SINS ⭐ We want your pettiest, your best, your worst.

5 Things Actually Worth Your Money — And The Companies That Got Caught This Week

The flu took us both out, so this week we got our lives back in order — and Shaboo has opinions on exactly where your money should go. Five things she reckons are worth every dollar, a chicken hack that changed how we cook, and a Sin Bin stacked with companies that got caught this week: City Fitness and the $6.99 membership that wasn't, a Wellington landlord who skimped on heating, and HelloFresh making 1.2 million cold calls to people who'd already cancelled. Plus: why NZ houses aren't worth their money, petrol up 27.5%, and the only thing on earth allowed to tell you to go back to your own country. ⭐ SUBMIT YOUR SINS ⭐ We want your pettiest, your best, your worst.

Op Shops Are Charging $400 For Clothes You Donated

Op shops are charging $400 for coats that were donated to them for free — and that's just one of the sins this week. We also get into the $500 winter power bill, the two supermarkets that have us over a barrel, school camps doubling in price, and the 105-year-old who jumped out of a plane for his birthday.

The World’s a Mess Right Now… So Just Live Your Life

I feel like sh*t in this episode, but we still had a real chat. Just a lazy Saturday in Auckland. Low energy, feeling sick, but somehow we ended up talking about everything. Cost of living, diesel prices, the cyclone hype, food, life… all of it. Nothing planned, just how I was feeling in the moment. We get into: What life actually feels like right now in New ZealandMoney, stress, and whether things are getting harderRandom thoughts about food, comfort habits, and lazy daysWhy sometimes you just have to live your life and not overthink everythingIt’s not perfect, it’s not polished. If you’ve ever had one of those days where you’re thinking“what is actually going on with the world right now”… this is that. Send me your sins. Got a story or something you want to get off your chest? Send it in and I might talk about it in the next episode. Auckland, New ZealandThe Shaboo Show
