Where's the bleeping goat went?

it LEFT

 

[MsGilmore]

Surely to Christ she’s not admitting she has all this food in the house? And she has the bleeping gall to pretend her rent bounces and that she’s therefore poor? You could see her level of cognitive dissonance from outer space.

I think that she tries to give the impression that she makes food last a long time and uses all of the leftovers.

here you are jack, this is what you said you were out of the other night. hth

except you seem to have acquired spinach and tomatoes since then...

The privilege of being able to dick about writing a list of all the many varied foods you have in the house when that poor nurse from the pasta story is probably doing a 12+ hour shift with hardly a break or food in hospital.

She's missed fats off her stock take - what about olive oil, butter, etc? Fats are important to fill you up, keep you warm and keep the old brain working well.

Oh, duck off. No one does this. Everyone looks in the cupboard, the fridge and the freezer and writes down what they need, not what they already have.

Does writing a pointless'performative list comprise part of Jack’s 100 hour working week?

If you can't see what you need by looking. Put it in a speadsheet/table on word and update it, you could even print it if you wanted.

 

[Begborrowsteal]

She still has all that fish then

I love Monkfish. Bloody pricey tho innit. The only reason ive even had it is from fishing in Ireland.

Old Harold must like his lollies and ice cream! At least I assume that's who they're for, since she's never mentioned buying anything like that for SB before.

 

[CakedCat]

Genuinely interested to know if the lollies, crisps and chicken nuggets are SP or she's a bit snobby when it comes to them.

Can't imagine her autistic accuracy or whatever she claims to have means she forgot to put the Smart Price in front of them.

The audacity of someone going on about pov and hunger with that much in her kitchen though. Some people struggling to have enough food in to last a few days and she has half of bleeping Asda in hers.

Was just having this convo with my actually low income long shift working sister re: rice pouches. I said how I’ll never not feel guilty for choosing them over normal rice and she said she doesn’t care cos the own brand ones are 60p and are brilliant for lunches so she doesn’t “waste” money at the sandwich shop she loves. So yeah they’re 10 times more expensive than the actual grains of rice but they’ll save her a fiver. Which is the real life decisions actual humans with real jobs make, not boiling noodles in (8p) curry powder.

Is this some kind of sick bleeping joke?

(I mean Jack Monroe's stocktake, not 'heartoreaditall's' comment, sorry if I gave that impression)

This witch clearly knows nothing about food poverty. How dare she preach to other people, like those 2 pensioners the other night. That could have been the only food they had in the house, for all she knew.

 

[CabalofBolorneaise]

One thing I read her saying somewhere recently on an old post where she claimed a bag of veg like carrots is cheaper than single loose veg? Is that true? As I was always under the impression that loose veg was cheaper?

It depends on the shop and the offers I think, sometimes it's cheaper to buy a bag of carrots (I have a house rabbit so it is actually a common purchase) and sometimes cheaper to buy loose - presuming you want/would use a bags worth obviously.

 

[Griftymcgriftface]

It wouldn’t have taken her 2 hours if she had just written what she doesn’t have.

 

[BlendedSlop]

God she's such a dick

 

[DinosaurSenior]

That shoppng list! It's everything JO has been rallying against for years....turkey twizzlers, chicken nuggets....

 

[CakedCat]

Also I hope she gets a backlash from people who have put in her tip jar after going on about being skint and sees she has a well stocked kitchen though because that's quite a considerable amount of 'stock' and probably more than a lot of the people who have 'donated'

 

[Clarends]

Her understanding of stock control is somewhat lacking.

 

[Duffster]

The absolute nerve of her, complaining that she has no food in the house while rattling the tip jar the other day, and now she’s got weeks worth of food BEFORE she braves the supermarket. She should see if Asda have got any self-awareness in stock, she could do with some.
