Éimhear

Téann Caoimhe ar cuairt chuig Éimhear, ar máthair as Béal Feirste í. Tá sé de nós ag Éimhear a bheith ag ceannach éadaí di féin agus dá clann, ag baint úsáide as modhanna ‘ceannaigh anois, íoc ar ball’. Lena meon a athrú, tógtar a cuid éadaí ar shiúl le hanailís a dhéanamh orthu agus tá Éimhear fágtha le 15 ball éadaigh go ceann coicíse. Agus le barr a chur ar an olcas tá cosc iomlán ar bheith ag ceannach! Cíorann an saineolaí airgeadais Colm Ó Fátharta a gnóthaí airgeadais agus tugann sé comhairle di. Déanann an bhean fuála Bronagh feisteas uaschúrsáilte as éadaí nach raibh caite aici le tamall. An mbeidh Éimhear spreagtha le bheith níos inbhuanaithe lena roghanna siopadóireachta?

Caoimhe visits Belfast mum Éimhear, who has a habit of buying clothes for herself and her family using ‘buy now, pay later’ methods. To help combat these habits, Caoimhe, Proinsias and the team confiscate her clothes for further analysis, leaving Éimhear with just 15 items of clothing for a fortnight. And to make things more challenging, she is also on a shopping ban!

Money expert Colm Ó Fátharta assesses her accounts and shares his advice, and seamstress Bronagh makes an upcycled outfit from clothes she hasn’t worn in a long time. Will Éimhear be inspired to make more sustainable shopping choices?
