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?
I know. Sigh. You'd think with her forensic attention to detail she'd have written a meal plan out and take it with her. That's what I do so I know what to do if something isn't available on the shelves.

It's actually why I can find online shopping cheaper too, if I can get free or discounted delivery slots. Because I can have a real think about what I'm ordering. But that doesn't suit Jack's performative £20 shop that takes hours of planning and execution 🙄.

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).
Labour intensive. duck off. Just post a list of your three meals each day for a week and we can work out what's likely in them. Always with the excuses when you've been caught out. Because you can't make a week's worth of meals from those two baskets of balls.

I can't believe that asda would preemptively steal her work and idea, those guys. Thank goodness we have squigs to help the poors out.

Well I guess it takes a LOT OF PLANNING if you are as thick as mince. Seriously 30 mins my meal plan for the month takes. Its called writing stuff down and re-using it. Jesus wept I did not think anyone could be this forensically sh*te...

“No one’s business but mine” maybe don’t put tweets and photos out that suggest you have cancer then? bleeping idiot
That line only works with people who don't use social media or share every single bleeping thought that ever comes into their head every hour of the day. Blabbermouth Jack, no one buying you decided to keep any business to yourself, let alone THAT

Their rates are on their websites so you can choose your deal??

and it’s easy to do a spreadsheet of all the different energy tariffs but hard work to make a note of the meals you are eating in a week???

she’s just talks so much tit no one can ever prove she’s wrong because she’s said everything. And there is just no way she’d have had time to do all the things she says she has done even if she was a hundred years old!

so much love to those touched by thethings she’s just throws out with no care or thought xx

I actually think there’s something rather disordered in her behaviour here. She’s kind of fetishising the weekly shop and all the palaver around it. The photo before she sets out, the list of all the “equipment” she needs for said shop, the photos of her haul, and the endless explanations plus detailed written notes. It’s just all too much. It doesn’t need to be this complicated and it’s pretty unhealthy that she makes it so. And she gets all gleeful and giddy about it too, which is a sign things are not quite right.
For most of us, it’s just a mundane weekly task. We make a quick list, tot things up as we go along, buy our stuff, go home. It really shouldn’t take hours and hours. People in the real world, with real jobs and/or family responsibilities, just DON’T HAVE TIME for this crap.
If it was anyone else I would agree, but the reason I think Jack makes it such a palaver is purely because as other fraus have pointed out, she pretends that this is her “job” and therefore she has to spin it out and make it seem difficult and complicated so that she can perpetuate the myth that she works hard.

I honestly think that early hunter-gatherers made less of a palaver of getting food than Jack does with all the trappings of a modern society.

I don't know when I last had to deploy 😡 and😲 so often. Jack has been non stop vile today. Actually all week but somehow worse today. Maybe it's a sign that the truth is getting to her. Please, somebody, somewhere, switch her the duck off.

Her cancer cosplay is apalling. Like many fraus, I had my own scare in 2020 and it was thankfully cysts but I couldn't talk about it to anyone but hubby while I waited. I didn't say anything on here but these threads helped distract me from my own thoughts. I've also lost family members to it and others are living with life changing post surgical effects. Jack is skating very dangerously here. She is so wrapped up in her own hype and lies, she does not care about hurting others. @RosieRoo wishing you positive news and long-term good health and lots of hugs.

Remember everyone, vile nasty people end up alone and unloved. You are all lovely warm people on here, you don't face what Jack has coming for her. Cuddle your loved ones, humans and animals alike. You have your integrity and love above all else. Don't let her get to you.

If someone is consistently living off a £20 weekly shop (for 1 person, never mind 3), she doesn't seem to realise that there will be NOTHING left in the cupboards to use for the next week.

I try to make my posts funny because we all need some humour. I can't seem to find any humour tonight with her. She is dangerous.
I know what you mean. That shop has really killed my buzz. It's so obviously not sufficient to feed three people. We know about food poverty and the worsening living standards we'll all be facing. Instead of saying something like "I've been doing this for years and this was the best I could do, it's not good enough or doing a proper nutritionally balanced shop and saying £XX was the best I could bring it in at- people can't afford this" We got a day of look what a clever smol pixie I am with my funny pov shop like this is a laugh. I just wish she'd get in the bin, with her stupid enablers and fire themselves into the sun.

My cat brought me a frog earlier (alive and well thank goodness) but I’ll give her a cuddle anyway x

I’ve just looked properly at her basket of shopping. Claiming that it can feed 2 adults and a teen adequately for a week in bleeping laughable. Except it’s not funny. There is nothing to make an actual meal. The woman is dangerous.
It all seems to be fruit, veg and snacks. And not much of it.
Quite where she reckons she can get 42 hearty meals from it is delusional.
Where is the protein? And carbs for meals like potatoes, rice, noodles?
This can only be a load of shopping by someone who does not cook 🤷‍♀️

What her problem with Aldi and Lidl? If she genuinely gave a tuppenny damn about VFM and nutrition she should be all over them, but she seems to have some weird snobbery going on.
