Wonder what she's up to today. Not really showing the jacket very well in the photo. Just that it's a luxury brand.

BHF is, in my experience, a pricier charity shop. the big charity shops also routinely sift out designer items for ebay.

now I'm not saying that tag has been pulled off another item and placed there... but I am suspicious

Years ago when I was on my own with two toddlers theres was a daytime tv prog about budget cooking. The presenters hadnt a clue and I wrote (yes wrote) to the show saying the people who know about managing on very little are the people who manage on very little and what they say matters. They replied and invited me on the show and were to pay my fare to London. I asked if they would pay for childcare and they said no so it never happened. Which was my point really. They didnt understand the real cost.
So when JM got publicity from hunger hurts I thought it was great. She knew the score. Or so I thought. As she got more money she got more entitled and less reflecting what's it's like to manage on a budget. And Salad Slime and That Man got to me. She should be using her platform to help people who are in poverty NOW to have a voice. I found this site thru lime goss. Dont even know if it's the same thing.

What they said. I've had bargains from BHF ,but a jacket is usually around a tenner!

That 50p jacket is horrible. She's short so it will be too long on her. I agree with sustainable fashion, annd wearing well made things from charity shops.... but this looks ugly and I reckon smells musty, of fags or mothballs.

It's a very business like jacket. I wonder if our heroine Jack is doing some of her valuable behind the scenes work. Perhaps she will storm the Brexit negotiations, bang a few heads together before rounding off with a howlin' clawin' tale of Whoops fish fingers. Then again it could be something more low key, just a major chain consulting her on some new menu ideas, will we hear the excited cries of "The lady from Shitty Bungalow- she says YES" or will they have to go away and blend their new menu to a slop like consistency before getting the coveted Jack endorsement? Of course it's also possible the middle class media have FINALLY decided to listen to our Working Class Hero and 'ave a butchers at her receipt collection.

I won't lie I am buzzing here.

She's trying to prove her charity shop finds now . I've never heard of this brand but I assume it's FANCY to suit our Jack's high-end fashion tastes!

I love that Eamonn's face from that is forever immortalised here! Such a funny mix of disbelief, confusion and a faint hint of a grimace threatening to creep out. Imagine if he'd had to try some .

Is Noel Edmunds reviving Gotchas because this is definitely a wind up.
Is this actually happening?

We do a thing called 'live below below the line' here at work. You are given a pound a day to feed yourself. It's very hard, and very dull. It really brings things home.

(we work with a small charity in Malawi, and that's the average a Malawian person spends each day on food, some much less)

50p! it's been a long time since you could buy a jacket in a charity shop for 50p. I think Jack needs to go sit on that designated bench and have a long hard think about how she could improve her lies.

I volunteer at a charity shop that tries to price things on the cheap side and there is no way we’d sell a jacket for 99p starting price. Jackets and dresses are usually priced at £4.99 but high end stuff like this may get an extra quid or two slapped on. To be that cheap it must be in bloody poor condition - although I’m suspicious as if it was so bad as to be priced at 49p (it wasn’t snapped up at 99p??!) it would in all likelihood have gone in the recycling bin.
