She really should be enjoying the last weekend of the summer holidays bank holiday weekend with her son. Nope. Arguing on Twitter.

I suppose it’ll get the Urban Decay palette back out the cupboard if she does.
Not out of that you don't dear - unless you're catering for The Borrowers...
A friend recently told me she saves money by watering down fabric conditioner. I asked ‘why water it down? Why not just use half the amount you usually do with each load?’. She looked at me like I was the stupid one

Whilst Jack's yet again showing that she knows duck all about poverty and malnutrition, I'd like to revisit the time that she visited Tanzania.
First of all I want to note that I've never seen a reporter hold Jack's child for a photo. I wonder why that is?
Also I like to think this is shade from Oxfam, like "let's send the poor little rich girl to Tanzania"
Of course, the trip didn't humble Jack at all. She didn't think "gosh, maybe it isn't so terrible that daddy didn't just give me one of his flats after I quit the job that he got for me". Nope, she decided that the impoverished single mother she met had a similar story to her.
Living in this situation is obviously basically the same as running out of jam one time in Thorpe Bay.

Not only did she want a fee for doing charity work, she only wanted to donate 'some' of said fee to the actual poor people.
Nice, Jack. Nice.
Riddle me this Fraus ...
If there's no need to buy meat with the £18.01 shop, because there's chicken and frozen fish (and minute thin steaks) in the donated freezer, but the dog's eating chicken too - how much chicken is in the non-existent freezer?

This this this! She spends time in hotels. She can grab freebies. I always take with as I hate waste. Stick it in my soap sock and it does the job?! She’s bonkers.
That Tanzania holding a brahn baybee thing reminded me that Stacey Dooley (remember we were talking about her about eleventy threads ago) got a load of grief for the same thing. Even mentioned on her Wikipedia page. But Jack? Crickets.
Yep tbh I don't think they list everything in their value range on the website as I saw this as well..... I think what is really hacking people off (well one of the MANY things) is her complete lack of ability to FORENSICALLY cost stuff. She went shopping and bought a bag for life? Bought? Rule 101 take your own bag so that's 40p she wasted on a shopping specific trip which could have been a tin of pulses. She doesn't seem to have any cohesion in her shopping at all. Big bag of pasta? 35p for Asda essentials range easily one/two family meals and the remainder for a pasta salad for lunches? Easier than rinsing hoops. I don't get it, I just don't. She has a freezer - frozen veg. Often cheaper than buying fresh. She misses all the tips that are given by others to people shopping on a budget. She is utterly kak.... Edit: She could have bought a bag of frozen veg (72p) and some pasta (35p) and STILL been under her £20 budget. That's pasta and veggies in cheese sauce, veggie soup, minestrone, pasta bake ......

Why not try 4 x Imperial Leather for £1.79 for that genuine 1970s economic meltdown vibe? That's all we had, and we were happy.

Two weeks ago a woman was yelling: "Look at the hoop on her! Gizza go on your hoop" in a busy city street when I hadn't heard that classic Dublin slang in years. It was a sign.Ithe idea of folk going ‘full Frau’

Jack Monroe #377 What’s the point?
And groom the poor creature! She absolutely needs a good grooming session before her coat becomes a mass of tangles. There are loads of dog groomers who are refusing to take on new doodle breeds because naive owners aren’t doing the basic maintenance to keep on top of the coat. I would love a...
