Was the dog food thing because people couldn't afford the energy to cook food?
Because otherwise surely some cheap pasta and a simple sauce would work out cheaper?

Having just noodles a day is a quick way to scurvy and other vitamin deficiencies. May as well get a pack of the dog food with it for a bit of protein.
The answer must be bread.
Sardines (50p) or Weetabix (10p a biscuit, 50pish a serving of milk?) would be my go to if in trouble.
Kitchen roll.

Milk would have been an obvious protein/vitamin booster in any poverty diet, what with it being a superfood, but it seems to have almost doubled in price recently.
I really don't think it's that difficult if you plan. A whole chicken is about £3.50. Buy 2 of them and that's ample meat for the week.
Bag of rice, bag of pasta, some tinned tomatoes, a bag of frozen mixed veg.
It's not going to take you to flavour town but that's a weeks food for about £15.
Fuck it, chuck a loaf of bread on and some cheap marg, jam, whatever and have toast for breakfast.
Alright you have the cost of cooking it, but if it comes to it the slow cooker - grim as it may be - costs about the same amount as a light bulb.
Do you eat much slow cooked bread?
You know what I mean, but if you visit one of those slow cooker groups on Facebook I absolutely guarantee you a 50-something year old woman with a cat as their profile picture has a recipe for slowcooker toast.

I went to have a look out of interest and got as far as this. It's completely ruined my night to be honest. I'm going to bed.
I'd rather eat Taz's shit.
And Taz will let you.
I’d happily eat that. Ingredients, from what we see, look ok.
You could just nibble it off his fingers when he wipes.
Jack Monroe has grifted an entire career of this nonsense tip shit, 'if you buy minimal ingredients (and have loads in at home) you cab do your shop for £20!' Thankfully people saw the light a bit when she reckoned she was watering down soap instead of buying showergel.
It's also focusing around food before looking at what else people can scrap from their lives.
I mean, you can if you live an extremely pragmatic life. You can survive on a tiny amount of money. The problem is people have feelings, wants and needs, and they add about a grand to most peoples monthly bills.
Molton must be a billionaire by now off the back of his chicken on pasta savings.

Didn’t Toby do something like this where he challenged himself to live off a tenner a week or less.
Think he basically loaded up on pasta and potato. A meagre existence, but as you say, the do isn’t infeasible, it’s the expectation that “nice” things are needed.
My wife went to meet her mate today in a garden centre café. Came back miserable. Turns out her mates mate died on Wednesday by drowning in Billie Piper's bath. Called Daisy, apparently, and was the live-in nanny for Billie Piper's kids. Not sure if intentional or what. Weird story though.

I see another egg has been thrown at KC3, is that a thing now?
Eggs and sausage are a classic combination after all.
Eggs and gammon*

This article on the beeb just sums up everything. British news having such a long piece on a minor foreign politician is weird enough as it is, let alone an unashamed puff piece. However, take this quote:
If this was said by a white Democrat politician, there would perhaps be an eyebrow raised. If it was said by a white Republican politican, it would be treated as frightening. If it was said by a white British politician of any party... they'd just be laughed out of town. All by the same BBC puff piece author.Rev Warnock has said his principles are driven by his faith. "I've always tried to leverage the moral truth to create moral good. My whole life has been about service. And that doesn't end at the church door, it starts there."
I enjoyed this article in the sidebar.
You can thank the Gender-baiting of Twitter for that one. And all those kidnapping murdering police officers, obviously.
Coming to a Beer Hall soon.
It's a shame these things get foiled (other than averting all the death and whatnot) as it would be fascinating to see what would happen when 50-odd lunatics tried to overthrow an entire country/government.
They'd get marched out by the police in about five minutes. Probably impossible to do, nowadays, in an advanced country, unless you had a massive upswell of popular support behind you that made the elites put their bats under their arms.
A military coup would still work pretty much everywhere, but yeah. We could do with one here really.

Has a military junta ever gone well?
For the military sure.
Well that's my first firing squad line up sorted. Well volunteered lads.
I'd take a posho military coup over Liz Truss, I think.
Brittany Griner has an unfortunate voice.

Guardian doing a nice job on the Mone-Barrowman story, the fucking pair of disgusting king gammons. Hopefully will lead to a suicide in the family.
Some bad shit going down in Offy's manor of late. A fishing boat was totalled by a freighter earlier in the week (3 presumed dead) and now a block of flats has blown up in the night with at least 1 fatality.
The explosion was actually pretty close to me (I'm on the other side of the Fort, so maybe 400m-500m distance). I can smell smoke in the garden too. Send your prayers, boys. We need em more than ever.
