Isn’t writing a blog post on how to eat a random combination of randomly reduced price items a bit like writing a blog post on how to win the lottery....

I think it looks fucking horrible! Soft cheese and lentils and chunks of red pepper bleugh. That red pepper ain’t chargrilled.

They are as grilled as Brenda’s sausies from the other night. Ugh, I missed the lentil component.

so much unnecessary crap! It’s like she’s purposely making it shit at this point. Mr Blurst is currently making us proper carbonara- it smells delicious and I can’t wait to eat it , sparing a thought for poor Mrs J 1, 2 and 3... all of whom didn’t ever get to experience such a feeling.

Soya milk
Skimmed milk
Pasta
Lentils
Red pepper
Kale
Mustard
Oil
Eggs
Soft cream cheese (> a metric ton)

Black pepper
Crunchie
Leeks

ETA Coconut milk

A school trip to a slurry pit?! Kids today don't know how good they've got it, honest to god.
When I worked as a TA in a primary school yeeeears ago, we went on a trip to Tesco. Highlight was going into their giant walk in freezer.

I think this £20 shop has tipped me over the edge. I’m infuriated about it in fact. It’s a perfect example of the bullshit cosplay poor behaviour (I hope you’re reading this Jack).
I could do a £20 shop and feed the 3 of us quite well for the week. I have tins, pasta, cereal stuff in the freezer and fridge. Just need dairy and fresh fruit. That’s not the real fucking cost though is it.
There are actual real people who will read that and think that’s a reasonable amount of money for food, it’s not.
Urgh.

On her Facebook page she says that the pasta dish has chargrilled red pepper sauce but there are clearly just chunks of un chargrilled peppers in both

'Lunch was pasta - I’m using up all the dregs of the nice packets before opening the cheap stuff so conchiglionie today! Red lentil, soft cream cheese and chargrilled red pepper sauce, with steamed kale (sieve balanced above the steaming drained pasta), #bottledlemonjuice and #plentyofblackpepper. Served two and we both kind of wished I’d made a bit more of it. Recipe to come - I’m still writing up the stir fry and yesterday’s salmon-paste soup, not sure where the day has gone!'

Why does she need to post recipes, she's just told everyone what to cook!

PS - what is natural porch light, is it another cost-cutting idea or is she taking all the lightbulbs out again soon??

In reality if you had 20 quid to feed 2 for a week you’d be eating a lot of potato. Jacket potato and beans fills you up and is cheap.

Write a blog about that jack you lying twat.

It genuinely makes me feel sad to imagine! She was always going on about how Louisa was a crap cook but I bet she just insisted on being control of the cooking at all times

I present to you an actually appetising pasta dish by mr blurst (about to be eaten on the sofa cos it’s Saturday innit)

And rice I think. (She served the sausages on it).
Rice was on the receipt, I just had a quick look. But cereal/porrige/bircher wasn't, which she says they have for breakfast. I'm sure loads more this is just the first stuff that springs to mind.

Yes. Also she said they both have crisps for lunch every day, but she only bought 12 packets (edited - I was wrong about the number of packets)
