Here’s a revelation. Sometimes the cheap ranges get deleted because PEOPLE DONT BUY THEM. It’s why they have re-branded some to make them look more attractive.
The only people I knew who bought the cheap tuna was for their cats. I also remember the super cheap beans and tomatoes, I was a student at the time. It was promotion, a loss leader, not an actual sustainable price.
And I am assuming she lives in a nice area. Maybe if she moved somewhere cheaper then those shops would stock more of those ranges?

No it's not an outrage, your logic is deeply deeply flawed
No, she'd have to sit with the poors. Jack doesn't do that.
WHAT IF IT'S BEAN JUICE, WHAT IF IT'S BEAN JUICE????!!!!!
Then she realised she's the only bleeping idiot that pours that away and rendered her 'its something you usually throw away' reveal, useless
Forgive my ignorance, but aren't there any buses in Southend?
I only learned to drive fairly recently, and have had a car even less time. I used to get the bus to and from the supermarket that was 3 miles from where I was living and ferry back my weekly shop that way.
Understand that there may be reduced services right now, but also she can shop absolutely any time as she doesn't have set work hours.
Why does she have to act like Jesus dragging the cross every Sunday? (No offense to any religious Frauen) She is making me cross with this martyr act.
ETA: Sorry, I posted before getting up to date and someone has already made the point. I'm still cross though!
Yet she has £20 to play her fake poverty challenge every Sunday? She can’t decide which side of the argument she’s on. Either Annunziata Rees-Mogg is allowed £3 a day in her ridiculous hypothetical TV show or she’s allowed £21 to spend for the week. So which is it?
Also has she never heard of inflation? What relevances does 90s shop prices have to the argument?
I remember buying a can of coke a chocolate bar and crisps with a quid on the 90s those days are long gone, but guess what I moved on.
Oh be still my beating heart, she’s started a list of Disappearing Smartprice Items, I can hardly contain my excitement. I thought all the major supermarkets cut back on their cheaper ranges in the run up to Christmas, still it gives her something else to whinge about.

damnit, all I wanted to do was run in and #multicolouredslopshop
Are you gonna do it in your porch at 4pm tho? Y'know, the free light and that...
Oh my god.
That isn't how supermarket pricing works.
(I used to work for a company on a small team that put a range of products into Waitrose. Triangulate that, Jack)
I've never seen hoops for 13p. The bargain brands are normally about 35p... Which compared to brand names is still typically half or a third of the price. Maybe if she spent 35p on hoops instead and stopped pureeing them to oblivion she would see that 35p is not a rip off.
Why doesn't she just walk the 9 minutes to her local Tesco and buy their (in stock) 22p own brand baked beans?
I went to Morrisons for my shop on Friday after actually working all day.
Upon reaching the aisle of tinned tomatoes, I discovered that the cheapest own brand tomato shelf was empty. However, despite being knackered from actually doing a job all day, I did not throw myself on the floor gnashing and wailing - I picked up the own brand passata instead.
Now I'm wondering if my reaction to the empty shelf was wrong. Should I have made a screaming toddler-like fuss about it and posted on twitter?

You needed to take that tit to management.
They did that to spite you no one else just you.
Hopefully you will act appropriately next time.
Me too! I struggle with money (definitely cannot afford to rent a "crappy" bungalow in the South East) but I manage to eat much nicer meals that what she's ever produced and I'm definitely not a whizz in the kitchen either.
She needs to think about getting the bus to Aldi. Much cheaper and there's some gems to be found there.
You should check the world food aisle if this happens again, tinned tomatoes there are 4 for £1 and I've never seen them out of stock (they're really good too).
And I think Jack is blowing smoke out of her arse with that nonsensical comment, but there you go
