You beat me to it CP.
Anyone can live on a 20 quid weekly shop if they've got a stockpile of food and bog roll.
I'm honestly expecting her to end up on one of those prepping shows.

Two weeks ago my shopping came to £9:87 for the entire week because I had a full freezer, store cupboard and just needed to top up with fresh stuff.
Would it be acceptable to wipe my diary on Thursday and just sit on Tattle all day?
Asking for a friend.
Yes, absolutely x
She’s not being thick, she’s being deliberately obtuse. She’s a garden variety gaslighter. She knows if the £20 shop is genuinely taken up it’ll be exposed and her (body of) work will be scrutinised much more than it is for the moment. If she can brush off detractors and make it seem like they’re right wing trolls just picking at a carcass for scraps she has a chance of getting away with her bullshit for a bit longer.
She does strike me as someone who is rattled lately, and I must say the schadenfreude tingles pleasantly.
If she wants to continue with the £20 shop, I suggest she has a week off to run her larder down, then lists everything she has left (spices, pasta, rice, beans, more beans, etc). Then squiggles can spend the money on these things if they want. Then, she should do £20 shops buying things people can buy by following her, maybe with the odd yellow sticker thrown in. Then she can put up the meals each day to show how she’s using these ingredients and squiggles can follow suit and it may actually help someone, somewhere. She started this four weeks ago with a cupboard full of Brexit goodies without showing what she already had, so what’s the point in it all? All it does is shows how she shops, it’s no good to anyone following her to save money or make their money last. Rant over.
Allegedly she was made to get rid of it by Louisa. My question then is why would she 'get rid' of a load of foodstuffs only to then go and rebuy them but under a strict £20 budget...it doesn't make any sense but this is Jack. Also if she 'got rid' of her stockpile by (I'm assuming) donation, are we really expected to believe that she did this without documenting it. Sorry but no.
Well it’s got texture, and probably more filling than slop, possibly more calories too
Ugh.....her 'poll". Enough about me. What do you think about me?
Slightly OT but you talking about prepping reminded me of it...I wonder what Jack thinks of someone like Shivi Ramoutar? I know Shivi's recipes/The Ice Kitchen has been discussed on here before, has Jack ever said anything? I always get the impression that if anyone's work overlaps onto Jack's patch, she gets a bit protective?
I don't get the 20 pound shops in fact I have completely lost interest in them and I think the majority of her followers have too. It's like when someone keeps posting there dinner all the time you kind of get bored of seeing it and maybe give it half arsed courtesy like because they're a mate. You only really engage in it when it's something you have never seen or tasted before.
Ohhh DAWN. :’(
It needed a third option: neither
I'm honestly surprised she sticks to the denim shirt/black jean combo & doesn't strut about wearing this on the daily
If my husband 'made me' get rid of my food stocks (inc brexit supplies and brexit freezer) he'd be my ex and he'd effing starve before I made him another meal.
Honestly buzzing for when the white limo pulls up and Silver, Poca and Alan step outCould we have a special cabal screening? All mavens in court outfits, gathered in Leicester Square, red carpet
Somewhat controversially Is like to nominate Margo Robbie as lead actor for Jacknory- Angela's Ashes the sequel. She can do chaos ( harleyquin) and does a very good Tonya Harding impression.
