someone curiously missing from this article (i think i hear the faint sound of wailing and the ripping open tins of smartprice prunes with their bare hands...don't they know tinned fish is JACK'S ENTIRE NICHE etc etc)
I can’t believe it’s not Nutella! Chefs’ and food writers’ favourite grocery bargains | Life and style | The Guardian

It does make me laugh when food people go on safaris to Lidl and can't resist making it clear that they don't eat their tinned fish in the same plebeian way as the poors. "I don't NEED to shop in Lidl. I go there for FUN."
Enjoy your day with the not frozen, not on toast fishos!
So many of Jack's favourites in that article! Sardines, stock cubes, spaghetti, beans, ketchup and peanut butter. LOL at Judy Joo saying of the peanut butter that "importantly, it doesn't use palm oil" before going on to suggest that Nutella sub which lists palm oil second in its ingredients.
In other news, I've been entertaining myself a bit this morning by checking out the quote tweets of Jack's shopping list thread. Lots of negative ones, I've just captured a couple of my faves -
She's being suspiciously quiet today after yesterday's deluge of sewage (both literal and figurative). Is she still on the squatty potty? I'm scared to check Twitter in case some moron has started a crowdfunder to buy her bog roll or something.
There's so much unnecessary snobbery about food.
I hope you haven't subjected yourself to the whole thing. I feel guilty.
oh, this is too funny! the dude saying waitrose extra virgin olive oil (£5/litre) is a bargain, i cannot!
and i wanna know which lidl these 2 are getting their sardines from cos they're still not in stock at mine
Someone offered to pay to print up Jacks stocktake notepads and give them out at food banks. They tagged the Trussell Trust.
OMFG, SRIUSLY.
These people, I despair. Louder for the Tories up the back, empty cupboards are not a moral or intellectual failing.

This is funny but also enraging. They will not get it into their heads that people aren't using food banks because they're feckless, ignorant povvos who need taught how to be middle class. They are there because they are skint either long term or short term. They're just people some will be good at budgeting and cooking and others won't.
FFS, if they're that bothered just donate a load of cheap pens and pads, plus the cash they'd have spent on printing. It's as bad and pointless as the t-shirt thing! Is that still a thing? It's gone awfully quiet.
What’s actually happening with the T-shirt’s? Did TT get the money? I’m a bit lost with all that!
Without doubt you will post it before the Venting Bum Index.
Jack, we have not forgotten about your VBI, even if your Twitter followers have.
Shhh! She's hoping it'll all go away!
I thought gentleman’s relish was a euphemism until I was about 30
I very nearly have, I’m about 25 mins from the end. On one hand it’s slightly less pleasant than listening to the sound of grinding metal for an hour and a half, but on the other hand I’m a (very) mature first year uni student and it’s really good practice for note taking, pulling out relevant information from blather and presenting that information.
