That food shop is so sparse. Those mushrooms will go nowhere, and if people copy her shops they’ll be starving and their kids will be malnourished. One of my kids is the same age as hers. Example of what ’s had today:
Scrambled egg on toast, drink of water, multivitamin, plum.

packed lunch:
Pasta with pesto, cherry tomatoes and Parmesan. Greek yoghurt with dollop of honey, fruit roll up, tangerine, water.

school pickup:
Banana

dinner:
Two full adult servings of homemade shepherds pie, with un-rinsed Heinz beans on the side. Water.

no dessert

I don’t see what she’s feeding that kid, because he doesn’t look underweight. My children are skin and bones, very muscular, and they eat adult portions of very hearty dinners.

What am I even saying, none of them eat that shite!! She tops it all up with Ocado! Think McFly, think!!

Wondering whether all this acting as though she's older than she is, and her middle-aged frump dress sense is designed to appeal to older sugar mummies, even unconsciously?

I might be totally maverick here but how about one run, less money on duck eggs and a taxi home? Yes? No?

Also I found that bananas loose approx 5 cost like 85p and the bagged one for around the same number cost £1

Saying that loose fruit and veg works out more expensive than pre-packed is just the TOTAL OPPOSITE of the truth! Why is she so thick?!!
I agree that's bollocks. Because with prepacked fruit and veg you end up spending more on shit you don't need. So 'pound for pound' it's a false economy. Jack loves talking like she's some budget genius but look at her house. A million of everything. Money wasted on sentient mirrors and fifty sideboards. I've never seen her use a cashback app, or coupons or any other kind of money saving hack. So the whole idea that she's some thrifty queen is quite frankly fucking ludicrous.

Or- conspiracy theory- she was really born in 1978, it wasn’t a companies house mistakeandis ten years older than she should be??????

Look, I'm willing to defend sprouts and pomegranate. I've seen multiple BBC Good Food recipes recently with that combination and I personally think it sounds quite nice. What I will not stand for is adding peanuts, cheese (of any variety), lime and red wine vinegar (together, because somehow neither on its own provides enough flavour or acidity).

Rest assured I've already sent out a warrant for her arrest, she'll be in food jail by the morning. Bake her away, toys.

I'll show you my workings - £20 a week x 52 = £1040. Divided by 12 = £86.67.
For purists and pedants
20x52.142
Divide by 12 = 86.90 per month
.142 takes account of leap year (I only know this from being a payroll clerk back in the day!)
