She worked?!Jack worked in a supermarket when she was a teenager. That was 15 or so years ago. Does she think they are still using the same operating procedures? They have undergone some of the most rapid changes in retail. In-store prices are generally updated once or twice a week, it is not cost effective to do it more often. Though online Occado change daily, perhaps that is where she is referring to.
Once again using out of date information and experiences to rant about something she has no idea about.
I'm deceased!!!!
Folded towels, apparently.She worked?!
Oh god I can only imagine the absolute production she'd have made of thatFolded towels, apparently.
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.As a clever frau pointed out earlier, the M&S meal used to come with a bottle - so if you have to buy it in addition overall thatβs over a 50% increase. Jack is doing stupid maths.
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????
We are LAFFING.
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!!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.
She has ten years of receipts! Forensically mathed the duck out of.We are LAFFING.

In her βyouthβ.Folded towels, apparently.
All of the Aldi swaps I listed earlier, were direct sizes she listed too! I went as deep as Jack, lolololol!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.

But Jack is forensic in her collating of prices, don't cha know. No errors...everRE: 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:
- 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
