Here's a 2018 post in which Jack complains that prices have risen since 2012:

Loose onions and loose carrots are CURRENTLY 85p/kg and 40p/kg respectively at Sainsburys. They may have been even cheaper in 2018, and indeed in 2012. But Jack believes that poors only buy things with BASICS written on the packet, so she never - never - recommends buying loose fruit and veg to a) save money and b) reduce waste. Budget shopping 101.

What did Charlie Bigham ever do to her?

Why does Jack think the rich live off expensive microwave meals? Surely most people buy them like Jack herself is known to do, as an occasional treat?
I remember people spotted a Charlie Bighams wooden oven tray in amongst the clutter in her kitchen!

Food prices were artificially low in 2012 ish. This is also when I was a single mum on benefits and all of the big supermarkets were trying to outdo themselves on their value ranges so you had tomatoes, beans, curry sauce, stock cubes and a few more items for 9p hoping that you would spend more once you were in the store.

"The tomato puree is, in fact, the same price as ten years ago but it doesn't count because it's not in the designated basic range for poor people. How are the poor people going to find the poor people food if it's not in the correct range? I WANT NO FRILLS POOR PACKAGING FOR POOR PEOPLE. ffs."
It's now 37p, so a 5% rise in 10 years.

Good!
She'll have to do some work for it now or she'll make Nigella look a right bleep.
All bets are off on Nigella being a patreon.

I can't believe she's endorsed Jack's grifting. I suspect Nigella's seal of approval means that we'll see the Smug tit in a cockery programme soon. :mad:
