You can buy plenty of decent food on the cheap, doesn't mean you have to resort to meat paste.
I expect Fiz will be dishing up gruel next for breakfast!”
I'm waiting on Fiz raiding wheelie bins in the ginnel. Kind of like a cartoon where an alley cat uses a dustbin lid as a plate

Ken startles her whilst walking Eccles, she hisses at him, eyes wild and wide, and runs off like a rat...

Just as we have to keep being reminded by dreadful Sally & Co. every few minutes that Jenny (because she was mentally ill after losing a child) tried to abduct the invisible Jack.”
I've been through many a time where I have literally no money (such as right now!), but at least I know how to cook. My house is full of dried food, stock, rice/couscous etc so you can eat well for pennies. I suppose that's how soaps show someone is poor though - hit them in the stomach (I watch a show called River City which has a debt storyline which had them eating a can of beans mixed with a can of sweetcorn for tea *boke*). I can't get over Tyrone slobbering over Luke's lunch. My dogs have more restraint.
With the Jenny storyline, tbh we'd never have noticed if she did kidnap Jack as we never see him anyway
