Pictures from Beyond Baked Beans Budget by Fiona Beckett. There were three books in the BBB series of student cookbooks, and I still have them now (I graduated in 2011). As you can see, she goes into a lot of detail (4 pages) about where to shop for what, and provides logical meal plans and recipes - for example, there's a bit on stretching a chicken over 5 days, or a pack of mince over 4. There's also a recipe for sweet and sour sauce that doesn't involve opening a jar.
These are really great books for anyone on a budget and/or new to cooking, and Beyond Baked Beans Green is all vegetarian and has a lot of vegan recipes too (not 90%). No pictures, but simple, clear recipes that have clearly been tried and tested. Seriously, look for them on Amazon if you want to help any students or similar become confident cooks.
Having said all that, Fiona Beckett led me to discover Jack, thanks to a blog post back in the day...oh well, nobody's perfect.
Did you ask what happens to the reduced food?Fraus, I was shocked to discover last week that my local Asda has entirely got rid of its reduced section (), probably due to the covid-y rugby scrum of people always lurking around it. Is it terrible of me to hope that Southend Asda follows suit?
More triangulation details. Thought you were concerned for your safety Jack?
I have that app and hardly anything shows up around here. If it doesn’t benefit her she won’t bother tweeting about it! (Watch her tweet about it nowLoads of people in her mentions (on facebook and twitter) have been telling her about the Too Good To Go etc apps - you know, the ones which alert you to the deals from local supermarkets / shops / restaurants at the end of the day, where you can pick up a box of wonky veg etc for, like £3 or whatever. I wonder why she hasn't mentioned them yet.
It looks like you’re lying about writing a book, need some help?This is better than the mona lisa alan! your photoshops always make me laugh so muchimagine this popping up on your pc though *shudder*

I’ve found one main Sainsbury’s is a lot better for reductions than the one closest to me. It’s also quieter.Actually I find the best place for bargains is my Sainsbury’s local. When I was in this morning there was loads of vegan stuff (nobody wants it). I regularly get their meatballs in the bargain section and pop in then in the freezer.
Batteries for the mirror tho
I can’t breathemirror batteries

5 pages behind so someone has already said this but sadly she’s been outshined by that massive fucking Cotswold number!! Look at the size of it?! I’m off to see how much that beast would set a frau back x

Revisiting this image I’ve clocked - she’s cosplaying as the the Prosecco huns / Fiat 500 Twitter that come to central to do their Christmas shopping and Winter Wonderland. Each year there’s a different uniform but generous dashings of faux fur and designer accessories are their omnipresent truth.What a Serious Writer she is, the Brontës have nothing on the Bard of Southend!

This ridiculous woman! Does she know how lucky she is to have a book deal at all? It’s an opportunity plenty of people would give their right arm for. And yet here she is, moaning and whinging about this massive privilege as if she is a sulky kid that’s not done their homework.
Fucking hell, what’s Jack done to Nigella?Apparently Mom Nigella is now bigging up cauliflower cheese on toast - pictures taken from a Mail Online article. They were taken from Instagram.
Babes, same. Can recommend root touch up spray to make it look thicker. My hair is dark so it really shows up where it’s thin.Babe, same. Textbook same! I feel like my hair is shrinking at the moment - not falling out, but thinner and just generally magically less of it. Lil' baby fluff at the temples. Ill-advised fringe receding into oblivion. Flash photography, between the thin spots and the hirsutism, is my nemesis. Chest bumps another soul cyster
In terms of foodstuffs, I am a slimy mushroom atop a radiator.
Maybe she missed that when she dyed it?It's not at all patchy, looks really thick (actually jealous!) She's just going a bit grey at the sides, which isn't totally unusual at her age
I will never get over Jack being buddies with Liz fucking Jones! In the words of Liz herself - 'brillient'.I was looking for an exact handing in date for the manuscript. This is as close as I got:
