I'm not dissing CB lasagne or otherwise, just
Thanks @Flash123 for the sciatica tip - going to try it! Physio has COVID so no appointment until she's recovered. 
The pasta breakfast bullshit... Omg WHO is eating pasta for breakfast?! It’s porridge with fruit in the winter, cereal with fruit in the summer, eggs on Fridays for us. Has been for years, and my children all seem fine. She makes her life intractably more difficult by spouting this bollocks about it being breakfast instead of just saying “doing some recipe testing today; this one was nice”.
but I'm a frau in heritage academia and the thought of her using a map from the 1800s as a food prop haunts me. Whether she's using a coaster or not, the heat damages the paper, the potential splatter, just the fact that there's pressure on it, potential transfer of natural human skin oils from hands/forearms etc. when eating... If it's real, that is such a wanton disregard for heritage, history, and preservation.
I'm choosing to believe that it's a replica (you used to be able to get lovely map paper sheets from Paperchase...) and she's saying it's original for her usual grifty reasons.

Appols, you already had it covered!
So do we Jack. So do we. 
I wasn’t getting at you. Sorry if it seemed that way.
I just think she’s creating a false argument and making assumptions about people based on stereotypes.
Luxury items have a bigger mark up so can absorb price increases. The fancy lasagne ready meal does not cost 5x to make, it's mostly marketing.
She defn is. And I wonder where her morals go when she singles out people who buy more expensive ready meals after having judged a competition for the best ready meal and chosen the most expensive as the winner.
If byline times publishes this pish they'll be a laughing stock.

She's absolutely revelling in this, it's disturbing.
Tales of woe give her a boner.
Thread title nomination
Do fact checkers even exist anymore?? Other than us sad little hausfraus obvs.
Yep, because she’ll be wheeled out for talking head slots and maybe a cooking segment (god help them) and be quids in. She’s monetised austerity she’s sick sick sick
Beans were 5p a can in Tesco when I was a student. I assume they made a loss on that. I understand that because I’m not stupid though and can work out the reasons they did that.
Also pretty sure the claim that there are fewer value items is fake news. Supermarkets have just moved away from marking it all under one brand value/essential/smart price and now use fake farms, food cupboard, wonky brands etc but it's still the same value priced items. She must know this if she actually buys value ranges? Or does she just search for value on their website.
Tesco value items
Sainsbury value items
Another fail for her forensic research.
