She’s just keepin’ it real. Showing that she is discerning & can see through the smoke & mirrors & determine what is actually good as opposed to ‘perceived quality’. It adds to her brand cachet of honesty, sound judgement & great taste. Never mind that it doesn’t jive with her sustainability expertise or that she is easily popped in the pockets of big brands (dressing for Leonard) for the right price. We are meant to thank her for liberating us from the middle-clasd tyranny of Nespresso & Dualit and feel grateful that we have her blessing to eat Curly Wurlys and Walkers cheese & onion. She’s a taste-maker, early adopter & opinion former and her views COUNT.

Hilarious how she advises the high street as one of the places where people should buy leopard print coats. Where does she think most people shop? Even those on decent salaries aren't likely to be spending loads of money on designer clothes, much less designer leopard print coats. Has she not heard of the "stretched middle?"
I know, she’s on another planet. People can’t even afford to shop on the high street at the moment. She’s so out of touch.
Ear worm ..... Hall and Oates ... ‘You’re out of touch’
At least she didn't wheel out the phrase she has used time and time again ''cheap shower, expensive bath".
They had to turn off comments because ~trolls~
That reminds me someone here wisely pointed out the wisdom of her having any bath products if prone to cystitis. Expensive or not.
The whole article seems to be playing at being poor. I wonder if it was written ages ago and used now for some reason as the tone is so wrong for what is going on now?
Yep - they just loved it so much they're using it now.

That was me!
It’s a slow news day
How strange? Maybe even Sali realises how incredibly off the timing is so mentioned she wrote it a year ago?
I'm still trying to work out why the posh version of a bic biro is a fountain pen - it just...isn't? Any more than the posh version of a bicycle is a car.
I wasn't going to read it, but now...
Personally I think the Observer thought that this article would be timely " don't worry about having no money because cheap things are sometimes better! See? We are a paper of the people!"
Could she not use ‘inexpensive’ rather than ‘cheap’? ‘Cheap’ could be considered as being somewhat derogatory .....
Sali, if you're using fragranced body lotions for sex (wtf), I think we might have discovered the cause of your cystitis (it ain't the fruity shower gel!)
Also: how on earth is she making her carbonara that using a different type of pasta scrambles it?? I am so confused.

She really is queen of spewing endless self-indulgent crap and patting herself on the back for it.
The Observer must have really been struggling today to run that crap. Unless of course they felt the population needed some mindless nonsense to fill their day.

Reader, it was not out "soon".
Apart from asking her followers on Twitter (which I always think is a damn cheek for something you're getting paid for) did she do any research for this "piece"? Because bamboo or wicker coffins aren't the cheapest option. It wanted one for my dad's funeral 8 years ago and was surprised how much more expensive they were than basic oak. Having just checked online they still appear to be more expensive than oak from funeral directors (buying direct isn't really an option for most when organising a funeral because of timescales, even if the funeral directors is happy with it) and cardboard coffins are exactly the same price as oak for the ones I checked. Wonder if she just assumed they would be cheaper (as most people would assume) because the manufacture will be much cheaper, not taking into account low demand.
Spot on. Jarvis has the measure of her ilk.
Profoundly distasteful at any time but as you say, even worse now.
