Asda is owned by Walmart, one of the biggest companies in America that just so happens to have been sued multiple times for discrimination, union busting, and labor (sic) law breaches... oh and they are pro-gun because they sell lots of ammo. No better place to get your Del Monte peach slices really.

ASDA got sold quite a while ago now, it's owned by some brothers from Burnley now I think, my family member who works for bread office is pleased as they don't have to do the Walmart rubbish anymore (singing the corporate sing in a morning etc)

There's little point to her doing this if we can't see how it translates into a meal plan because I really doubt this is enough food for two adults and one child (even if there are only there half the time).

I have posted about this before but I am an actual recent cancer Frau and her baiting of this is what always brings me out of lurkdom. In the last year I had chemotherapy, radiotherapy and brachytherapy only to be told it hadn’t worked. I then had a pelvic exenteration which is a radical hysterectomy and bladder and bowel removal leaving me with two stoma bags and early menopause. I am 42. I have been told that this was last chance saloon and if any cancer comes back there is not much that can be done. I am going back to work in a week’s time.
I appreciate that waiting for test results or biopsies can be really stressful and worrying but it is nothing like the heart stopping moment you are told you have cancer and then waiting for it be staged so you know what the prognosis is. For Jack to try and justify her cancer baiting posts by referring to scares she has has is truly despicable.

Oh Rosie I have everything crossed for you to receive good news soon. I too am a recent cancer frau, but a very, very lucky one as mine was caught very early. She gives me the rage - I can’t imagine how she makes you feel.
Lots of love and healing vibes xxxx

is there a single other picture of her wearing a scarf?

There was the bizarre and manic period of time when the LIGHTS WERE BACK ON and she started channeling the miniscule amount of Greek dna she has.
It was when she was 'cooking up a storm' and posted loads of pictures in her kitchen 'doing recipes' but not actually producing anything.
She wore a scarf then, but was more 'peasant' of a look than the cosplaying cancer one. Personally I thought at the time it was because Olia Hercules was skyrocketting in her career and Jack was doing her usual narc sucking up a persona. (I know Olia is not Greek, but she is everything Jack wants to be)
However this was a completely different type of photo and headscarf to the 'does anyone know an oncologist ' photo and I've never seen her do it before or since.

I know this isn't actually her weekly shop etc, but let's pretend it is for a moment.

How many nice food items could Jack have bought for her son this week if she HADN'T pissed 1.5k on and dog and it's ongoing expenses??

There’s a fantastic YouTuber I watch called Atomic Shrimp who does ‘2 days on £2’ etc cooking challenges and he’s very clear that it’s not something you can sustain as it involves foraging for greens to bulk up the shop and you need to fulfil a calorie requirement which isn’t always possible. She’s talking absolute bobbins. Playing into the Tory idea that of course you can live on the meagre amount you’re paid if you’re smart and savvy. It’s offensive.

Yes! His stuff is always interesting. He forages a lot to to try and pad out what little he has.

I notice his wife often bows out of some of the challenges 😂

Wasn't she going to add a recipe each day? I voted '30 days' in the poll how long she'd keep it up as a joke 🤣

She going to bung it all in a curry, isn't she? The custard, the pears, hell even the 49p bickies. All in the curry, with some freezer fish that she will let stew in its own juice

Also, just to add, when I go shopping have a meal plan in my mind, that's what I reference when doing a stock take and writing a shopping list. So how does she not already have this? Or even a loose plan?
