Thanks for saying this. Also she has made money from promoting Del Monte. I think that's really damning

That’s an interesting point as Jack can’t see past her own experiences.

When I saw a crazy article published in the tabloids that said that exercise doesn’t help people lose weight I asked my govt health friend about it and she said only 15% of an article published has to be true so in that case the research actually said that for morbidly obese people diet was the first best step not exercise ( for obvious reasons regarding ability to move ) so you can see that no fact checking is done it’s all clickbait and shit x

Have I got this right - Only The Poors only buy the basics range because this is all they can afford. However, the basic range is identical to the mid price/premium range with different labels, as evidenced by Jack’s extensive research

So of that is true, does it mean the £10 -meal scoffing poshos who don't buy basic ranges have been cross subsidising The Poors?

That is jolly decent of them!

Bloody hell - "naked, shameless racketeering" - what the actual hell? Does she even know what words mean?

Has she forgotten the how bloody brilliant the supermarkets have been over the pandemic? I live with someone who is properly shielding because of covid and every week, without fail we got groceries delivered in full, on time by amazing people who got up and went to work even though they were at risk.

Literally hundreds of thousands of British jobs are provided by the top supermarkets - they are not a bunch of criminal enterprises out to get the poor!

God I am going to have to put my phone down - I just can't with this shameless charlatan!

Grunking from 3 threads ago - what a week it's been a while since we were at a thread a day.
Can everyone slow down now though - I've been BUSY and can't keep up!

But they're no longer in bland packaging because, quite sensibly, supermarkets realised that shoppers didn't want to be filling their trolleys with items that screamed "CHEAP". The value brands remain but have been rebranded to blend in with the average grocery shop. All she's done here is highlight how out of date she is with budget/bargain shopping.

She's no longer relevant and that's what she can't stand. There are copious amounts of TikTokers producing cheap, healthy, appetising recipes in 3 minute clips. She can't even produce appetising recipes in 3 months.

She's massively ethnocentric
She is just all about her. I live in a place that has a big Eastern European and Asian community (I'm sorry I know that encompasses a lot but I'm shit at geography) and a lot of Brits will shop at the Polski Skleps and bakeries and especially the Asian shops because you can buy in bulk there and it works out cheaper. Meanwhile Jack is allegedly dragging her infantilised secondary school lad to Asda just to try and prove a point to Twitter.

If this was that important to her she'd do more than paying lip service to the foreign shops, or take the walk to Lidl or Aldi. I'm not a huge Aldi fan but Lidl are amazing and I don't buy her health excuses cos how many Queen Elizabeths could you fit in a shopping basket?

Would an FOI be against the rules @Pocahontas? I feel I want to submit it just so I know she’s definitely Novak Nailing it.
I mean ... sure? If you wanted to find out.
We tend to stay away from talking about reporting people to authorities, but this is a request for info so ?

Jack’s article says the rice in the value range is irregular and broken, so is it the same or not?

Nipped into my local german-budget style supermarket today and briefly wondered if, at the rate Jack's going, soon she'll be screeching about Aldi Privilege for those close enough to easily walk there.

I’m too far behind to even grunk, but I just had to tell that I was trying to read that Graun ‘article’ and my browser went f-you and closed it down
