About this listen

Episode 3 of Dupes tackles food and lifestyle duping, where everyday indulgences become accessible luxuries. VV Steele exposes how nineteen-dollar Erewhon smoothies are recreated at home for three dollars, Chipotle bowls duped for four dollars versus fifteen, and Crumbl cookies made for fifty cents instead of six. Discover restaurant recipe replication from Starbucks secret menu drinks to chain restaurant copycats, at-home spa days replacing hundred-fifty-dollar facials, and gym membership alternatives through Peloton dupes and heat-free fitness streaming. VV examines hotel-quality bedding on budget, DIY salon services saving hundreds monthly, and coffee shop ambiance recreation for remote workers. Learn about the girl dinner aesthetic achieved affordably, library cards replacing subscription services, and what food duping reveals about inflation, generational wealth gaps, and the philosophical tension between empowerment through knowledge and capitalism's continued grip on consumption patterns.
