You could have bottled it up in one of those pink grapefruit juice bottles you reckon aren’t yours though?

So like...have the squigs just entirely forgotten that she's meant to be working on the VBI? This book hasn't been mentioned for years, suddenly it's BACK all guns blazing when the only reason she's in the spotlight again is for promising to work on something else?!

Instead of leggings, dry your hair with a towel or a special gadget called a hairdryer specifically designed for this purpose.

Forget THAT MAN your last sentence has ruined jacks entire work as a starving suicidal mum! She's worked for years and all she's ever been known for in the food world is tinned peaches in curry. I can hear the sound of tin cans being ripped off with her bare hands. She's lost everything she worked for.

If your cans have a ringpull it is easy to rip them open with your bare hands #JacksHacks

Wonder if she'll "recycle" any of our maverick ideas? #cannycabal #scrimpingninnies
I hope she uses my towel instead of leggings hack. I can't bear to think of all those squigs wandering about with traaazzers on their heads waiting for their hair to dry.

Ah yes, the grapefruit squash she can't stand and doesn't drink anyway because it messes with her meds, but a few weeks previously did a huge Twitter thread about drinking an entire carafe vase of the stuff. Schrodinger's squash.

Exactly what my parents used to say to me when I asked them when Christmas was coming. In March.

Buying a bar of soap and then deliberately using it to turn it into something else is not frugal or money saving. It’s bleeping pointless.

I once read a book from the 80s with money saving tips in it of the “save up slivers of soap which are too small to wash with any more, boil them together, reform into a bar shape, cool in the fridge and hey presto- new bar of soap” variety. Now that’s money saving but did the author factor in the money for boiling the soap down and cooling in the fridge? Probably not.

What’s the cheapest bar of soap one can buy at Asda or Ocado or Wilko’s? Surely not much more than 35p. So using Jack’s pricing per use, how much does anyone need to save less than 0.5 by doing even that?

How does she make the expensive French hand soap? Is it bleach, vinegar or melted soap? 🤔

Leggings to dry her short hair? Huh?
Leggings to dry any hair though. So you take a pair of clean leggings from the wardrobe.....they'd have to be clean as you don't want your freshly washed hair to smell of sweaty foof! Dry your hair, and then? Put the clean wet leggings straight into the dirty laundry again? Hack you say? Crackpot I say! #jackshackorcrack
