I’m glad you said this as that crossed my mind earlier…

If she was doing it as a paid partnership for Superdrug why not mention the loyalty card as you can get points to spend later or towards something? I know you need to spend a lot to get anything back but at least it makes more sense than putting shampoo in the washing machine

I just watched it again, she says people should buy the cheap shampoo but if you don't like it you can just swap back to your usual brand in your next shop. Jack, that's not how poverty works, you should know that because the price of jam went up 4p and you couldn't stretch your budget to afford it. If you are skint you use the whole bottle, you don't waste it.

Jack does use shampoo in her washing machine. Luckily it hasn't broken yet, she only uses it twice a year

I went to my mum's once with greasy hair, she asked me what was wrong. That's how families work. If Jack was honking (let's pretend that's unusual), her parents would have been concerned

I can’t bring myself to watch, but it seems she also missed an opportunity to mention that good old soap does away with single-use plastics and is therefore better from an environment and climate perspective.

On that note any recommendations for good ones?

And this is why Jack will never get better while she has this echo chamber of sycophants pandering to her ego (and sending her cashos)

The more I think about those 'tips' the more incensed I get.

Honestly, is that the best she can do? Is that the best a huge retailer with an actual marketing dept can do? Switch from expensive brand to cheaper brand? It is supposed be a 'shop smart campaign' not two pathetic tips delivered by a quivering spokesperson who can't even remember the key messages without referring to her notes. Google "superdrug shop smart campaign" and all you get is links to the press release. where are the actual fucking tips? The shareable infographics for social media, the list of this weeks cheapest buys, the leaflets on the best hygiene products to donate to food banks etc etc?

On closer inspection I found this "Superdrug is pushing its value credentials in a new partnership with...Jack Monroe." -so that's it really - paying Jack to say "Superdrug's great, buy from them not Boots" end of. Pathetic.

Superdrugs own range is cruelty free and affordable but tbh the best thing you can do is go to Aldi/Lidl or even B&M/Home Bargains for toiletries.

Just buy so many clothes you never have to wash the dirty ones. I mean, even after selling ‘everything’ a couple of times, she had several binbags worth of clothes that she was going to sell online. I’m guessing they didn’t get a run through the machine before being bagged up and forgotten about.

Absolutely yes to soap! I swapped to bars of soap and they last so much longer. Less plastic waste and better on my skin than most bottled hand washes. Why is she making up nonsense about shampoo in washing machines when there are so many obvious money/eco/skin friendly alternatives? This has to be a joke now, surely? They're peddling her out for shits and giggles now, I'm certain.

If this was someone else suggesting people use shampoo in a washing machine to save money, you can bet Jack would have piled onto them with a “what about those who can’t afford a washing machine or the electricity to run one.”
