Tbh there's not enough words to say how much I dislike her at the moment.
All this pricing up of sloppy food with no explanation of why she's doing this. With her 280k followers thinking that this is how poor people live. Or that this is all they need to buy food.
In reality she's playing the poverty card again ...she's so poor she can't afford to eat any decent quality food and she's metaphorically rattling that tip jar.
It's he day before UC goes in for us, I have beef mince, onions, frozen peas, rice, stock cubes and various tins. Also have some potatoes left.
I've managed to make a decent meal for three of us with ease. No stickered items, no basic smart price items ...just a few ingredients combined together to make a healthy and filling meal.
And no slop anywhere in sight.

What she is doing is actually dangerous....... it clearly shows on the Asda webpage that those stir fry packs shouldn’t be reheated Never mind her claim of it keeping for 3 days in the fridge. The risks of bagged salad/veg and food poisoning are well documented

What is the point in pricing a meal made up of reduced items? It’d be like posting odd box recipes and pricing it at £0.00, like fab for you hun but it’s useless to us?
What's the betting that her homemade draught excluders will look suspiciously like something from the Cotswolds Co. That is of course supposing that they actually materialise. That maverick brain has no attention span.
All of the bedrooms are upstairs though, so they all have eaves. Especially in a bungalow. Is she implying that there's no insulation?
She's making it sound like she's stashed herself in the bare loft. Sounds all very Flowers in the attic!
“It keeps in the fridge forum to three days”
Autocorrect? Typing the word forum frequently these days for some reason?
I hate pineapple as it is but that picture won't leave my mind now and I just want to heave. Thanks Jack
If anything you’d cooked foamed or scummed you’d defer to a higher power wouldn’t you, you certainly wouldn’t be doing photoshoots with it.

You can make them out of old scarves, you know.
Bit like these (£20), but perhaps a slightly different colour.
That bleeping recipe is a mess. Substituting anything for bottled lemon is just perplexing.
It's basically a Jackgasm - a chance for her to be an utter bleep in word form and believe in her head she's maverick and the rest of us are wondering...

The only thing in that recipe from today's shop is the rotting veg.
Jack use your 10 million print offs from tattle as draught excluders or better still use them to fuel your pizza oven maverick style.
I think she actually hates cooking from scratch. She seems to buy a lot of pre chopped veg, sliced meats etc (insert arthritic gnarly hands excuse). Whereas as others on here have pointed out that it's much more sensible to buy in bulk. I think the slop goes on the bin whilst she actually dines on posh ready meals.

I think I could have had ten guesses....and not one of those would be pineapple
How about this Maverick chef...prep your onion BEFORE you put your oil on or even before you put the pan on the hob THEN you won’t get stressed...you twit! Jesus ABC of food prep and would have saved your readers 8 billion pointless words. Someone teach this idiot how to write a simple recipe without all the blather about stress and scum and teeny tiny little orange pulses!
Well she should head to John Lewis and get herself a duvet? I went online, searched high to low and found
The Ultimate Collection Mountain Goose Down Duvet, 9 Tog
£660.00
They also do a 13.5 tog for £520, so that's much more justifiable.
I bet she's a dream to listen to when it's freezing and icy!
They sell turkey legs at Disneyworld. They’re a famous thing, they look rank.
None of this shopping is helpful. There’s no planning. There’s no this is what is in season, this is good value...
It’s just random stuff to be rinsed and thrown together. How is any of this helpful to anyone. It’s like a bad episode of ready, steady, cook.
Of course it’s not helpful to anyone but her.
Anyone who knew or wanted to teach about food planning would start with at least a vague list and plan for food for the week. What do I have, what do I need extra, planning and economising.
I’m currently writing a shopping list that will cover the next 2 weeks, it’s flexible but it’s there.
