Honestly. I would never use mayo as a substitute for butter. I don’t eat butter anyway. I use vegan spread mostly but why on earth would you use mayo in place of butter?

I have to say I’m not the biggest fan of mayonnaise but if I ever do use it it would go on a wrap or sometimes on chips

Why would you want to replace butter with mayonnaise. What is the purpose of that?

Why would you need to act like a martyr when you have cash?

Chicken breast fillets "with added water for succulence" ñom ñom top quality meat Jack!

What happened to the wonderful butcher she was briefly but effusively praising?
I used to buy those, then stopped as they shrivel to nothing when cooked due to all the water pumped into them, they're usually odd shapes like they're bits that fell off, so OK to use in a stew, not OK if your want a chicken breast for your tea

Why buy tinned custard? Buy a drum of custard powder and use the milk she gets delivered.

That shop is depressing, it's like poor people have to eat nasty things cos they don't have a lot of money. And it's what someone who hasn't really suffered long term poverty would buy to cos play at it.

Apart from a brief flirtation with those chicken breasts I never bought crap like that.

Am beginning to wonder if she has like a split personality disorder or something, in that she quite genuinely believes what she is writing only that it was 'other Monroe', the one who isn't a budget food preacher, who just the other day was talking about her coffee habit and buttery dish she knocked up. It's the only logical conclusion, no one could lie this brazenly and not be mortified by it.

What the F*CK is the point of all this. Like wow, yeah, you can make your weekly shop come to £20 when you've only got to buy some fresh meat / veg / bread the occasional bag of rice ***BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALL THE OTHER STUFF ALREADY IN YOUR LARDER, 3 FRIDGES AND A FURTHER 3 FREEZERS!*** What's the revelation / skill / but most importantly, WHAT IS THE POINT?

When you're poor, you soon work your way through your store cupboard, and things go off! I am the queen of eating out of date stuff if its OK, but once stuff goes rancid, mouldy or has weevils it had to go! (asda cheap flour had those and I had to throw all my flour away, a very sad day, I keep my flour separate and well sealed now).

I used to buy something for the store cupboard every week, be it a jar of herbs, dried fruit etc, and then budget for loo paper and toiletries. 15p shower gel made good hand wash
