I am a vegetarian from Kerala. A very beautiful southern state in India ,we have such diverse lifestyles but I admire the grace and courage and efficiency with which you handle life❤
I always enjoy the grocery hauls too!I hope the meat diet goes well for both of you,I need to give it a try as well. So much work and money to grocery shop these days but, you have done very well! TFS!!!❤
Quick foaming hand wash tip. I make ours by simply reusing the foaming pump... I put in 1/4 liquid castile soap and fill with water. So easy. So cheap.
I love grocery hauls. Im excited to see the cooking and preserving also. I always have to remember that a kilo is more than a pound when you give prices. Which are crazy everywhere. 😊😊
Hi Nessa. What a blessing to have places where you can buy in bulk. So much better for the budget. The tomatoes look good.. Hope you are having a good day
I think part of the reason it’s interesting watching other people’s grocery hauls is that we don’t often think about how/what other people eat and it can turn out to be quite different than what we do. That can give us ideas but also the courage to try something new! Another great video, thanks - and looking forward to the planning video although it will be sort of a “debrief” this time!
Can’t wait to see what you do with all the food. You are always so creative with it. I’m sure it’s going to be harder cooking 2 types of food for every meal but if anyone can do it, you can!!!!! Love all your videos ❤
I'm hoping to mostly cook the same thing, but quantities that mean I pad the kids out with things like mashed potato or they have some pasta with stuff etc. That's the plan anyway hehe.
Wow! Can’t imagine spending that much money. Years ago, raising my kids I only had about $60.00 a week to feed us. We bought by quantity. I worked at a grocery store so that helped. We all do the best we can. I was never the accomplished cook you are. All respect to you!😊
Well it's $60 x 9 weeks plus inflation plus buying in bulk so the $345 per week it ended up being for 9 weeks was actually pretty decent for a family of 8 with pets and animals etc in this day and age
I know huh isn't it crazy to think that we could feed a large amount of people for 40 or 50 dollars a week an we ate good too . ❤😂 An the amount of money people r spending to feed their families is insane.... 😂
Don't forget this is Australian dollars. I don't know where you are but I have remind myself when I am shocked by the food prices. Her food prices are largely so much better than where I live!
@@ykook7000You know what, I don’t care about numbers. These days, I can buy whatever I want and don’t. Still do the best I can with the prices the way they are. I learned to live within our means. Years ago!
Hi Nyssa I love your grocery video's I have Allways shopped in bulk especially meat toiletries laundry , cleaning products and brought fresh on a weekly basis but your the Queen of bulk shopping take care 🥰🌹
I am exhausted just watching this 😂 That is quite a large haul. You are so right,it is more fun to watch you than actually shopping myself . Thanks,❤Cathe
My 3 trees have been delivered on Wensday.I have not seen them yet I had to send them to my daughter in Oklahoma city. I did that to ensure I would have them. We are in the process of moving. I didn't know how long it would take for you to make them and mail them. So my daughter has to wait for her friend to open the package and show me what the look like. Long story short [yaya] I can't wait to see them❤
Woohoo! I ended up sending them express as it wasn't much extra, they arrived fairly quickly! FX everything looks good in the boxes, I put a lot of packaging in heh.
I like having the information, i don't necessarily need to stick to a super strict food budget anymore, but I also don't want wastage or spend unnecessarily, so it works to keep me on track :D
Yours are the most interesting grocery hauls in my opinion it is so massive and so far from California where I live it is educational as well as good content.
Yippee! I was up at 6.10am UK 🇬🇧 time, to give the cat her medication, & the notification of the haul was there. I love seeing what you buy. I am single, although food shopping is my comfort. I look forward to seeing what you make, thank you xx
Hi Nyssa, oh my, I have missed all your vlogs until today, have been ill with pneumonia for a while... on the mend now.. well the children looked beautiful for their baptism !!! Thet have grown so much since I have been watching.. The pool looks fab + the vaccy for it.. your garden beds are fantastic, lets hope it keeps the critters out... Yet another fantastic shop as per usual.. You create such wonderful meals all made from scratch using everything you buy.. A 🦸♀️ Nyssa.. Glad im up to date now... happy week... ... baby lemington has grown too... 😊
We were a family of 9. We lived in a very small house so not much storage room. I shopped every (2 times a month) payday, mostly Aldi and local meat market. Canned some. Made homemade bread and treats.
@@OurSmallFootprint just the 2 of us but I still keep a second fridge for perishables and a freezer. Been able to put up lots of stuff from our garden. Hubby retired and enjoys it. Bumper crop of tomatoes and garlic this year. Nice variety of tomato 🍅 items and still working on the garlic. Dehydrated and USDA safe minced in olive oil.
It's kinda neat the 2 months between each video, I try and put the camera there for unpacking each trip because it shows their hair cuts and style choices and growth hehe :D
I dunno if we even have scales lol, I normally weigh myself at mums place when I go, just to make sure that I'm staying stable (and I've been the same weight for the last 18 years lol) will be interesting next trip!
Early in the month will be easy I think, lots of fresh veg and meat hehe, I'd imagine I'll want to try some of the less standard meat and veg fare later on in the month!
Those foaming hand wash bottles can be reused. I like them for dish washing liquid, but you need to really dilute the concentrated liquid a lot. My preference is Dawn, but any concentrate with a degreaser quality would work. When I have a pan that is greasy or has stuck on food, I take a huge handful of the foam and wipe it on the problem areas, sort of like shaving cream and let it sit. It also works best when the pot is still warm. By the time dinner is done it's so much easier to clean. It also works well for greasy hands.
Yes! I used to have foamers but they broke so when I saw this one half price I nabbed it, I didn’t buy any refills because I’ll make do with what we have :D
Nice haul, I’m looking forward to seeing what keto/carnivore meals you cook, I try to eat low carb as much as possible but always looking for inspiration!
The meals at the beginning are pretty much meat and all the fresh veg lol, I think I will definitely get more adventurous when there’s less fresh veg though!
I look forward to seeing youre low carb/keto recipes, and maybe canning??? I am low carb also, I have lost around 30kg since last Christmas, and feel so much healthier. (I am 1kg from a normal BMI). Wishing you you and Darryl all the best for youre journey
I think a lot of my canning etc will mostly be aimed at the kids! We shall see though :) Initially I think we’ll just eat lots of meat and veg, but as the month progresses I’m sure I’ll need to do some fancier stuff heh
Ooh i do enjoy watching your shopping trips, some of the prices blow me away, how can shops charge these prices wow, look forward to seeing the amazing meal videos that you do❤❤
I actually forgot cottage cheese, I meant to look at Costco. Darryl has to do a run to Toowoomba this week for a kids appt, I might get him to grab some so we can experiment!
Thankyou for another great haul❤ have you ever thought of getting a Milky or other brand and making your own rice milk, oat milk, coconut milk or whatever non lactose product you use? Lots of love from 🇸🇪♥️🙂
I haven’t tried one of the auto makers but I have made rice milk in the thermomix and the kids really aren’t keen, it definitely isn’t as smooth, and it separates badly. They don’t mind almond milk but don’t like it with cereal, happy to have it with granola though, creatures of habit lol
New subscriber here and fellow Aussie. Super impressed with your vid and the effort you go to to explain your haul...let alone going through the process. Must be very tiring. Where we live, we only have Woolies and ALDIs. We only shop at Woolies every 2 weeks and ALDIs (sporadically) in between, as we aren't too far away from both stores. My partner and I both have a Woollies mobile account, and 2 rewards cards so we take advantage of boosting our rewards and the 10% discount per month/per account so as to save a bit more. Gotta be smart and save... when, and where you can. I reckon we're gonna go back to the beginning of your channel and watch through. Keep up the great work and thankyou for sharing your experiences and knowledge with us all. 👍😉
Hello I actually like to shop I like to c the choices an price comparison from one store to the next. ❤an buy the cheaper or best for my money option. 😂 An I'm nosey I love to sneak an peek into everyone's cabinets an fridge I love to c what everyone is buying an different things varying from one country to another too. 😂❤
The fresh produce y'all got looks amazing. The box of mushrooms omg get out the frying pans an start too slice them up. With some butter..... Season an there is supper ❤😂 for me anyways. I don't know about anyone else 😂 Heeheehee ❤
Bread is definitely a hard one, especially if I get my sourdough going again. But I’m going to persevere at least for this 8 weeks and then reassess :)
We struggle to run the dehydrator unfortunately, it just uses a consistent amount of somewhat high power for such a long span of time. Id love to setup a solar dehydrator for summer and each year we talk about it but never quite get there!
@@OurSmallFootprint that stinks, I didn’t think they took that much. Maybe the oven, but you need to be so careful the fruit doesn’t burn, i used to do it that way when my kids were young (40 years ago lol) wth an electric, scorched a lot as well. It was just a thought as I remember they used to love the dried bananas and apples.
@@Gardengirlie04 about 400-600w, it’s not a lot in daylight hours, but most things take more than just the daylight hours to completely dry and the humidity here means turning it off and back on again isn’t a good idea. The kids adore apple rings dipped in lemon maple and coconut dehydrated hehe, and I love making summer teas out of dehydrated fruit!
Nope, unsweetened, but we were using it because D doesn’t do Dairy, so we switched to coconut cream just to make it easier I didn’t mind. But if I can have real cream instead, then I will heh. Though the coconut cream is shelf stable so we might end up using that at the end of the month.
They are much cheaper, unfortunately, because costco veggies come in bigger bags! But like the normandy veg which sound lovely are $8+ a kg, full price the ones I buy are $6.50/kg but I get them on sale for about $5.20 regularly.
ok did you buy a smoker? i know you were talking about it and we all know that it will help with the going keto. also i must admit i expected there to be more meat and it to cost a lot more this shop with you going keto, but you have always done smaller meat quantities then most people i see do. also the cost of food has just gotten so high lately certainly for whole ingredients like you can do cheap processed to some extent still but for real foods like meat and vegetables it just feels like it is always getting higher.
Bunnings was completely out of stock :s I’m hoping to find another one I’m happy with, D has to go to Toowoomba this week for a kids appt so I’m trying to organise something! I’m not sure if there will be enough meat. There is more than I normally buy, but we’ll have to see how it goes. It was hard to fathom how much we’d go through, so there might be a top up required, I’ll have to play it by ear! I was a bit thrown that the overall cost was less even with the extra meat, so I kinda feel like something will be lacking somewhere!
@@OurSmallFootprint ok i honestly think you will definitely need more meat, we do low carb because two of the people in our house are diabetic so we have a specific number of carbs we have to stay under. also you didn't buy rice at all this time and I am wondering if that is going to be a problem for the children. I am not criticizing i am just wondering because i know when we changed our buying to accommodate the diabetics if was a mess the first few months. we are a family of 6 2 children 4 adults because my parents live with us and some months i swear my grocery shop looks like i only buy snake foods but it's because i get lucky with what food we harvested in those months so we don't need real foods as much those months.
@@craftedbykittens we have rice left :). I bought two half price bags last month :) and I bought a couple of bags of Arborio this month to top up the storage, we had a bunch of pasta left too. We end up with about 1.8-2kg of meat per day availability which is 500-700g extra per day to my normal calculations plus I’ve still got meat left in the freezer and we have a large quantity of eggs avail. So we’ll see how we go :)
I had one today and it wasn’t ‘great’ but they’ll freeze well for icecream and smoothies for the kids and hopefully I get some really good ones next trip!
I don't buy name brand cereal generally, just the aldi version of rice bubbles and wheat bix, but they were all out of rice bubbles, which was odd, so I just grabbed them the cheerios as a treat, but I'll have a look at their pricing! :) Thank you :)
My favourite thing about watching these videos is everyone all helping to get the groceries into the house! Great teamwork!

Haha I have to calculate it the other way too. A kilo is actually about 2.2 pounds, so when I see you getting 3pounds it really throws me 😂
Your grocery videos are my favorite. I don’t know why??? We’ve been off grid 40 years.
I also hate shopping but never miss a video when you go!

You amaze me with how well thought out you make your shopping trips. Any only forgetting a couple items , I forget that much weekly!!!
I did american math on this. You came in at less that $10.5 USD per meal! That is astonishing given family size and keto! Well done!

I am amazed at how organized you are. Great job!
Amazing! You’re feeding your family for 4€ each person per day! That’s fantastic and I’d struggle to do that here. Go you!

@@craftedbykittens we have rice left :). I bought two half price bags last month :) and I bought a couple of bags of Arborio this month to top up the storage, we had a bunch of pasta left too.
We end up with about 1.8-2kg of meat per day availability which is 500-700g extra per day to my normal calculations plus I’ve still got meat left in the freezer and we have a large quantity of eggs avail. So we’ll see how we go :)
How much are the 48 pk of batteries from Costco please?
16.99 :)
@@OurSmallFootprint Thank you. Love your shopping videos
Not a big fan of mangoes from the Northern Territory, had one last week. Not much flavour to them. $20 a box is very good at this time of year.
I had one today and it wasn’t ‘great’ but they’ll freeze well for icecream and smoothies for the kids and hopefully I get some really good ones next trip!
Inlike shopping, to a degree. I hate pushy customers and tude customers. Otherwise, I kind of find it zen like.
Cereal is cheaper on Catch .
I don't buy name brand cereal generally, just the aldi version of rice bubbles and wheat bix, but they were all out of rice bubbles, which was odd, so I just grabbed them the cheerios as a treat, but I'll have a look at their pricing! :) Thank you :)
