(Yes) absolutely if it's only foodbank users she's considering with examples like this. But it's the way she suggests that some of these maverick ideas of hers are somehow more cost effective. They often just aren't.
As you say, you wouldn't have washed a quarter of the tin of food away and replaced it with other things!

Just watched that, it was really good. Not only the actual cooking but whoever produced the video has done a good job with editing and graphics. I can't remember ever having seen any graphics etc on Jack's videos, not that I've watched many. It looks quite simple but very effective.

Out of interest, what's the going rate for submitting a well written and largely truthful piece for inclusion in a memoir like this? Is there a different rate for retaining anonymity/privacy?
Yes, I wondered this as well. And what are the ‘selection criteria’? I’m guessing you have to submit your story in writing...which could then be appropriated, and not credited?

Both of these things happen.

Fareshare is a way for supermarkets to distribute food to charities - I collected the leftover food 4 times a week from Tesco & Waitrose & delivered it to a local charity supporting the homeless. Different volunteers on different days for different supermarkets & charities.
City Harvest collects leftover food from restaurants and in house catering (pre-Covid) and distributes it.

I used to take tins of stewed steak when we went away road racing in the caravan due to limited fridge space, I used to make into a pie with ready made pastry. Something that you could have ready for when practice finished.

I used to take the air fryer and do chips in it. Fancy!

Never felt the need to wash it

That will be the same nepotism that got her a job as a call handler. I think she is putting her memoir out as a counter response to Tattle. Her version will be the official version where she has full control of the lies narrative.

So she's trying to get people's stories on not being afford to eat but tweeting how she can afford to put her heating on in her large bungalow in August.
Is no piddling thought she has not announced as soon as it pops into her dreary head?

Just put a bloody jumper on! It’s a bit chilly today but no way near heating weather!

Jack, you are a bellend. If you don’t want commentary on you putting your heating on, then how’s about you don’t tweet about it. Well done for a wearing a fucking jumper, thermals, vest, slipper socks and vest - it’s all bullshit, but bravo.

I am quite chilly today but I just stuck a jumper on, it's hardly heating weather. Get up and so some housework you will be nice and warm then.

Someone suggested she put a jumper on...
Are we sure she is not in the south pole? Bloody hell it's chilly but not freezing good luck this winter.

Also if she doesn't want people to say stuff perhaps don't share it on sm. Tell a close mate?

Or alternatively, Twitter: Where you invite opinion by tweting your own. Innit.

She’s a dickhead. Can’t be arsed with her.

Jack, I would recommend shutting your aggressive pie hole on Twitter (and everywhere come to think of it) if you don’t want opinions on stuff you’re clearly tweeting to get people to give opinions on

She seems to send out these inane tweets spoiling for a fight. She *wants* someone to offer innocent thoughts so that she can come down hard on them. She’s a dick.
