She worked?!
Psst Jack. No one needs your imaginary boxes of receipts (they would have faded to duck anyway).
There are endless resources and studies available at your fingertips if you were really interested.

How much did things cost in the 1960s?
Are things more expensive today than the were in the 1960s? We look at a few everyday items and compare prices, allowing for inflation.

Folded towels, apparently.
Oh god I can only imagine the absolute production she'd have made of that
Plus Charlie Bighams lasagne is now Β£8.25, if that is the high end ready meal range she is basing this on. Not that it disproves her argument. I would just like to point out that she is being wrong on the internet.
Also, when she judged a ready meal competition, she chose as the winner an item that cost Β£12.50 . (IIRC, etc.)She is now being scathing about the type of people who buy high end ready meals because it suits.
I promise that isnβt meβ¦β¦ as much as I would love to have asked!
She isnβt comparing like for like to get the accurate difference/increase in price - she should be comparing the cost of the 500g bag of rice at 2021 with the cost of a 500g bag of rice in 2022!! (Not 1000g in 2021 with 500g in 2022) Or am I missing something really obvious here????
bleeping moron.
We are LAFFING.
Exactly, squig. For someone who presents such an exacting mathematical mind as Jack does, one would assume she is bang up to date on getting those accounts in order.
Particularly as she is so keen not to return to her previous life, you would definitely not do anything to put your current lifestyle at risk would you!!
She has ten years of receipts! Forensically mathed the duck out of.
I can't imagine Byline Times paying her much for her flowery out of date and out of touch drivel. How things have changed. In the past Jack would have had offers from The Guardian to write an opinion piece and been paid handsomely. She is now reduced to begging for puff pieces in an online publication. That and begging for money off strangers.
She's just embarrassing herself going on and on about this 344% price increase. She's not comparing like for like. If this was an official spouting such made up tit they'd be out of a job. All make believe, like most things in her life.
rice price at Aldi today
There are actual issues out there, and this doesn't help anyone.
Same price at sainsburys also, although a 30 min walk there and back isn't really that much - about right for your daily exercise.

RE: Jack personally, gently, "forensically" keeping track of price changes, this is from a site called NUMBEO (recommended by my uni)
Manual collection of cost of living data is error prone:
Manual collection of cost of living data is error prone:
- there is a different price during the year - price fluctuation/volatility (i.e. cheaper fruits and vegetables during the summer; high fluctuation of potato price because of lack of storage and high moisture; supermarkets running a temporary discount on some items)
- different supermarkets, bars and restaurants have usually different prices of the same or similar items
- there are different types of milk, cheese, etc. with different prices even in the same supermarket
- the country could face temporary shortages of a given item which could drive the price temporary up (i.e. rice shortages)
- if only one or a few people collects the price, possibility of human error is higher
All of the Aldi swaps I listed earlier, were direct sizes she listed too! I went as deep as Jack, lolololol!
But Jack is forensic in her collating of prices, don't cha know. No errors...ever
I thought my maths was tit
Oops -
Just seen everyone beat me to that rice screenshot. Now why canβt the squiggs find out the price of rice?
