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.
Starting to think she may be on Asda's payroll

I am very much looking forward to learning how to get our weekly food shop down to approx £100/month. Just food. Enough to provide 42 generous meals plus snacks. No need for cleaning/laundry products, or pet food, no hit and miss yellow stickers reduced items which will duck up the meal plan. Just a food meal plan 🥰.

Call me cynical but she’s had a few hours of ranting about the cost of living crisis and lapping up praise from her fans for doing so, then she does an Asda shop in a happy-go-lucky “I’m making do with my £20 for the week, look everyone at all the cheap food I’ve got plus I walked there and back” fashion. This has two potential effects: 1) it buries the Private Eye journalist tweets and 2) it probably results in a couple of donations to her tip jar from well-meaning gullibles who want her to have something nicer than Asda’s value range, without her having to hint or ask. Makes you think.
So if she walks there and back, how did she kybosh her trolley full of tins, at the station ?

Aldi is too far to walk apparently 🙄. She doesn't need to count the pennies then does she!

I've said it before, but when I wasn't doubtful yet of JM, I felt bad that I couldn't get her recipes to work, or to cook as cheaply as she did (I was trying to save money) And she was getting so much praise for it online that I thought it was my fault, rather than it being impossible to eat well for the costs she suggested. I was fortunate that my money saving attempt was just about trying to save for a holiday and some other fun things, rather than being needed to make it through the year. Can't imagine how it must be of you have no financial margin to duck around in ☹.

This is why I dislike her dumb 20 pound shops.

Don’t know if this has been mentioned but just another pointless lie by our special one…

She is so full of tit that if you gave her an enema there’d be nothing left of her. That she’s seen as some sort of expert on this really boils my piss.

All the utility companies publish their tariffs online.

This took me about two seconds to find. British Gas and Eon. All there and easy to locate “for public consumption”:

Sorry if this has already come up - but who is the other adult she is buying groceries for ?- I'm really confused!

Wasn't just me then. Mine was that I didn't have any money to play with but equally I'm very lucky that I have a family that was able to (and still does at times) help. There are many that don't have a safety net and that's why I'm increasingly more angry.

I’m drunk, I’ve been at a baby shower (which ninnies I know I can tell you was just awful). But Jack Monroe is a big smelly liar. duck you Jack.

Ignoring the harrowing stuff ( two nights in a row she has pulled a shocker) to focus on the much more manageable shopping fandango. How can she make such an epic production out of the weekly shop? I don't understand. A written pre shop "stock take" ( full list of edibles, not just the usual eyeballing the essentials), a jaunty walk, mid supermarket tweet fest with photos, lined up display of purchases and then, as if the receipt wasn't enough, another written list of purchases. In special books.

I can't cope. Smug shopping Jack is my worst Jack*
