Groceries for nine weeks! There's some treats in there but plenty of our staples too, some extras for the shelves and some things that we have started buying but didn't before, lots of variation! :D

The website still has A LOT to go on it, there is a lot of dead links and empty space and even some 'sample stuff' from the template I bought, but if you'd like to look at how a sample recipe will look, here's a link and feedback is always welcome :)

That's equivalent to 296 euros to feed 8 people per week. As we spend 75€ a week to feed two people and you're feed growing hungry children, you're a blooming marvel! Absolutely well done.
4000 долларов
FrugalqueeninFrance. I agree with you totally. My husband and I live very frugally in Queensland Australia, waste nothing, cook from scratch and try as I might I can't seem to go below around $100/week. We are not extravagant eaters. Mince and chicken mostly plus vegetables and Salads. This year growing our own with some success. I am subscribed to both channels Jane and Nyssa and find them both terrific. Another is cheapskates club but I cannot get my groceries down as low as Cath does. I'm pleased to see someone else with similar costings to ours. Well done.
Nyssa if grocery shopping was an Olympic sport you'd win the Gold hands down!! Mad respect for all of the time it takes not just to get it all but to then lay it ALL out and film for us. Watching all your ads forever!! Cheers 😊
Holy moly! That's a mammoth haul. Medals for organising and collecting on your own. I am in awe! 😮😊🎉❤
Love the haul but nothing made me happier than seeing Darryl hand you a delicious looking hot dog after that long day of work!!
ok Nysssa I know that you worry that you do'n produce enough content but i have done the Maths you put out 18 food prep videos between the last haul and the shop with me video and that means that you did at least 2 videos a week. that is a fairly amazing schedule if you ask me.
Love your channel, i often put my tablet in the kitchen while i cook and watch your latest video. You've inspired me to start fortnightly shopping and not going every 2 days 😅 keep them coming!
I'm glad some of what I do helps! I was amazed at how much cheaper our food was but higher quality by having that mindfulness around it rather than just grabbing bits and pieces :D
Former Aussie here now living in New Zealand. It's been years since I've heard anyone say 'Goon Bag'. Thank you for the laughs 🤣
You are absolutely wonderful in how you run your family. A great mom and wife, always putting your children and husband first in all you do for your household. You are a fabulous organizer and cook. You live with less than all the comforts of life and you don't let that stop you from doing your best for all. I really admire all that you do and accomplish. God bless you and yours.
It makes sense to buy treats at a better price if they are going to get bought anyway. Don’t feel awkward showing them - it isn’t an excessive amount for the number of people and the amount of time they’ll last.
Great haul! I enjoyed seeing it
Less than $480 per week for a large family is still very good
Even with the extra goodies
I have my eye 👀 on the Choc orange and cookie chocolate tho....sounds delish
Hope Sonnet likes her green hair dye 🟢
The caramel caramilk is delish! But choc orange anything is so good hehe :D. She has been nagging me every day to do it lol, I need some time first lol.
Oh my word, Nyssa you are nothing shy of a miracle worker. How you managed to get all of that, and keep it straight. You got so much for the family over the course the days and the different stores that you went to. The preparation for this has to be extensive, to get it all organized and to find the best prices. 😊
Another AMAZING shopping trip.
You are absolutely AMAZING!!!! You deserve each and every "treat" you bought!!! As hard as you work to make this all possible, you deserve MORE treats!!!! Bravo, Nyssa!
I'm so happy that YT and our views in a small way help feed your family. 😊
I am very grateful for the ability to share and not leave the property and still earn money towards the food! :D
You are phenomenal and I love your videos. It's a treat when you make one. I'm having my coffee right now watching this.❤❤❤❤
that's wild! you do an impressive job! your kids and family are lucky to have you
Thank you :)
It’s incredible how much fruit, veggies,and meat you process . It’s got to be exhausting. You feed your children well.
Grated sweet potato frozen is a good backstop to add to bakes, casseroles, stews, soups etc.... whole roasted ( they caramelise) chucked in the nooks and crannies when the oven is on is a good 'filler' for kids at lunchtime- like a loaded baked spud- but half the time.
i grate, dehydrate and powder also when i have a glut and it ends up in cakes, soups, gravies- a sweeter 'thickener' ... or topper if blended with salt or seasonings.
I hope the desks panned out- great bargain!
Tax time coming up... hopefully refunds can get your fridge trailer done and ready for summer 🌻
i haven't been to a big town in 8 months- i work the Coles specials cycle and it's delivered for free over $250 or $4 for under, saves me 250km round trip fuel and time, and any bunnings etc a friend or family member grabs for me when coming past. Kmart is also free delivery over $65 so is another work around. We have an excellent farmer's market here fortnightly and competing foodworks and iga locally so cycle their specials.
We have a local whole/health foods store who when doing a bulk order will add your bulk items to their pallet for a teensy extra so honest to goodness, milled flours etc are pretty much freight free and work out cheaper than me ordering them.
Life is a giant work around!
Huge haul, chick.... and lost a day to boot, as always i applaud you ❤️
I have no idea how you got that all home, even with the trailer😅😅😅. You must be exhausted! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
I love your shopping mix, there is something from every food group and that you include treats because what is life without a treat. You are an expert homemaker and thanks for sharing your skills
I think you are an awesome shopper. I'm sorry you are going through some health issues. Praying things will turn out ok
I cook up sweet potato then mash it and freeze it. I put some in soup or stew or chilli, you can 't taste it but it's extra vitamins and fibre.
Coconut goon bag, love it 😆
I had to laugh, haven't heard that saying for years😂
Your shopping skills amaze me but the way you break it all down puts me in awe! Your family is blessed to have such a wonderful momma! Love to watch your videos!
Another great supply run.....I am blown away by your math and record keeping...I will write more later....lol
Now, that’s a haul! I’d love the shopping and planning … the loading, unloading and putting away - no thanks! 😂 You did amazingly well with your last 9-week shopping gap; you look so much better stocked this time. Add this to your new stove … you’re gonna make some awesome food (no pressure. 😅) Can’t wait!
Sweet potatoes you can cut them in small cubes and bake them with oil salt pepper and Gallic powder put it in tacos or tortillas with meat and avocados it’s really yummy
I have an issue with the texture of them, I don't really like pumpkin either, but D and most of the kids do, I just have to remember to cook them up for them! :D
Goon bags!! 😂 that made me snort. Another epic shopping trip! You’re an absolute legend Nyssa.
Heh, it’s what I know them as, misspent youth and all ;)
@@OurSmallFootprint me too! The old party pillow. “A cask of your finest red thanks mate!”
Love you shopping hall.
You are very well planned out with what you need to get, and then looking for items that are on sale. I do not have to worry about traveling for ours to go shopping, but I check my sales weekly, and plan around accordingly. If i get a good deal I buy extra to have for later. That's just smart shopping for anyone these days.
Now, THAT was a haul! I love all your fresh fruit and veggies! ❤
Now that's a haul, you must be buggered. I hope you manage to put your feet up for a bit and enjoy your yummies 😊 you cracked me up with the goon bag LOL
Was pretty exhausting hehe, especially the longer time required to get it all filmed!
hehe, I dunno how many people refer to them as that... :D
It was goonie when I was growing up lol
You must be a genius at tracking inventory--that is an amazing number of items to manage. Thanks for sharing your life, I find all of this endlessly fascinating.
Amazing shop! Such a huge effort. My grocery cost for June for 2 people (on average) + 1 cat was about $700 CAD. Some stores have a 15% off day on the first Tuesday of the month so I will take advantage of that to stock up on some items.
You are very organised with living off grid 😊
Lovely to view your interesting videos
Happy packing that haul away 👍
Good video 😁
I was so excited to see some treats included in your haul. I’m interested in hearing the kids opinions on the different Oreos. The part I hate the most is putting everything away. I wish you could just open the cupboard and presto it’s full. ❤
The packing away sucks! So bad lol
You are awesome what a marathon shop hun what a mission great job
WOW.... Another awesome shop.. absolutely nothing wrong with the extras especially when you break down the totals... Thank you for sharing!
I just can't believe how you fitted all of those groceries in.
Ask your Mum to look for a restaurant supply that is open to the public, and the bigger Asian suppliers, as well. Really THE way to get seasonings, etc, at better price. Probably your noodles and rice, too😊
We used to buy through a restaurant supply place when covid was on, because of the limitations, and most of the stuff ended up more expensive than purchasing via the specials/generic brands at coles/woolworths/aldi :S
That's a huge haul! I kept thinking of those "land trains" that Australian truckers drive 😂 They are famous even here in the States.
We call them road trains 😉🇦🇺
Great haul. All your splurging is well deserved. You do an amazing job for your family every single meal and dessert so treats at home still end up being cheaper. ❤
Split the persimmon seeds and you will see a fork, spoon or knife shape. Folk lure says certain shapes indicate the weather for the year.
Great video as always.
Oooh, that would be fun heh, I'll get the kids to have to look it up and then they can do it as schoolwork one day :D
I’m jealous that yall are in winter. I can’t stand the summer heat, and I’m waiting for the 20-30°F temps.
I must admit I prefer winter, especially our winter! Cold when it’s dark and some really chilly days, but most of the time the day time temps are still mid teens (celcius) even if it’s negative temps overnight!
I just found your channel from your last grocery haul in August. I am watching in Corinth Vermont USA a town of 1200 9/9/2024. I like your channel.
Welcome! That’s a small town, I like the lack of people but we’re close enough to main cities if needed :)
The cheaper baking powder may contain aluminium. Here in Canada it's $2.95 and the non-aluminium is $6.50. Enjoyed seeing what is available in your country.
That is a point! I will have to check. I do make my own when I do my bulk order, but I only have tiny tubs of cream of tartar atm and the kids use it to make playdough heh
Nyssa, I love how you do a breakdown of your grocery bill. I feel for you and your family on the cost of the groceries that are through the roof! Families are suffering everywhere trying to feed their families. Maybe the way you shop will help others shop and save money. Loved how the Guinea’s gathered for a feeding and kept up with you 😅😂TFS!!!❤
There's definitely been a lot of price increases, I think i'm luckier than most though, the stuff I buy on the regular, most of it doesn't increase much, all the steady basics, like flour and plain crackers and pasta etc, it only goes up very minutely!
Great haul.Great to see you are doing well financially and able to buy extras. Feel like you have been stressed after your consistent job was made redundant.
Oh my goodness, just finished watching your HUGE HAUL... OMG NYSSA... wow , it will be so interesting and exciting the next few video's.. Yeah !!! Yipee !!!!
Nyssa you are allowed to buy a few indulgent items every shop for yourself Daryl and the kids..
You dont go out , no weekly takeaways etc... I hope you enjoy them.. just wondering are you worn out after that shopping expedition 😅....well done , thankgod for the thermo!!!! For the grating.. 👏👏
Hi Nessa as always a brilliant job I used to blanc my veg I don't anymore as like you I found it went mushy I just clean it and put in in a freezer bag and freeze it loving you're channel 🥰🌹
That’s all I’ve done this month, so we shall see! :)
@@OurSmallFootprint your welcome 🌹🥰
Love seeing all your videos including your grocery Hauls. Thank you for sharing!!
So impressed with all your efforts in your planning and shopping. I struggle to be this good on a weekly basis.
I absolutely love watching your hauls! WoW!
If you like the persimmons, try planting the seeds.
I spend almost as much as you feeding 3 of us! But I do have a bad habit of going to the grocery store daily and it's hard to buy stuff in bulk because I don't have much storage space . Weirdly (or not) I found it easier to feed 5 when all the kids were home although things were cheaper 7 years ago too. You are an absolute marvel when it comes to feeding the fam!
USA popping in, I make pineapple jam with the really ripe pineapple, it's super easy & a great treat. The sweet potato are great sliced, drizzle or plain baked with salt
Oooh I might look up pineapple jam, because we have plenty of pizza pineapple on the shelf atm!
I have issues with the texture of sweet potato, its silly I know, I don't like pumpkin either... But I will endeavour to use at least some of them for D and the Kids :D
You are amazing Nyssa. I hate cooking but just love watching your grocery hauls & seeing the beautiful food that you make with it. ❤
Love it! Your so organised but as you say you have to be! I agree stock up on that chocolate you deserve it! Your in the middle of nowhere! LOL
Definitely have to be, otherwise it will just cost us more :D
Hehe, no chance of getting the fancy flavours locally out here! :D
You are so organized love it
I wish I could live off grid like that but now I am getting older I can't kids are grown and grand children . Love your videos
I really admire you the way you cook everything from scratch theres not many people that do that anymore its all ready meals, and as for making your chocolate last the 6weeks id eat it once i opened it😂😂 best wishes great video have a great week❤
Wow, what a haul! I really wish I was as organized as you to do two month shops. I can't even get a monthly shop done. Working on it though. Thanks for the inspiration.
Enjoyed as always Manchester England xx
Hello you should try and get to town on the 31st of a month. get 10% off that day and then go back the next day for your top up shops and get the other 10% off for the next month. Seeing you only go once every 2nd month you are missing out on your discounts. hope that makes sense 🙂
Yes, or try and do a shop online and sent to mums in the off month, I need to figure out a way to make the most of it :D
Amazing. I Hope people are liking, subscribing and sharing your channel. You deserve any recompense for all you do and share
I love your hauls and weekly meals. I always watch but never comment.
Persimmons- modern varieties you eat when they’re crunchy, like an apple. Only the old astringent varieties have to be really really soft.
ahh! I did some quick reading, while I was waiting in the fruit store, but there was a lot of info out there hehe.
4,300 Australian Dollar equals
2,881.09 United States
Awesome. So a 281 usa is 430 aussie. Or 6.7 usa vs 1 aussie. Their veg and fruit is much cheaper than usa. But they do alot of name brands mfg in Australia. But the locals love their store brands which are much cheaper. Similar to other countries. Such a team effort that the world keeps turning and not broke when you get back. Some fathers aren't as organized as yours. Or as dependable on keeping the ship from sinking. Lol.
Wow well done 👍👍👍 Always amazed at how you work out what you need and all the time spent on pricing 👏👏👏👏👏👏 some extra treats are always welcome 😊😊😊😊 As always a pleasure to watch 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Love from the UK x
Splurging is very important
We have several persimmon trees in our yard and there are two different kinds. It looks to me that the ones you got are for baking and may be good for your ninja creamy but not good to eat. The ones for eating off the trees are more firm. Always fun to watch 👍
I was googling them in store and saw there were two diff types, I wasn't sure exactly which ones were which, but the Lady at the F&V said these ones are right at eating when they're kinda squishy! The kids tried one, I don't think any of them were super enamoured, but someone said they like them with vanilla ice cream, so they might be nice in that yes! :D
These shopping hauls are incredible. Very well done . So much good food, fantastic prices on many (that garlic and ginger paste!) And most of all , the organisational skills you have are amazing! The filming of all those loaded tables is huge, then editing and breaking it down to teach how. 😮Thank you for sharing lovely 🥰🥰P.s. goonbag 😂😂
I reckon I'm going to have to recan or freeze some of that paste, but what a great price!!
Nyssa, it sounds a lot but as you said you had to replace stuff in your pantry and shelves, at the end of the day if it’s being used it’s just a normal expense, so glad you were able to get extra rice milk and other things cause you struggle to get some things some months, enjoy your extras and experiments in the creamy. Take care Snookums 😊
I'm having a hard time finding banana chips! I still have goals to get to this point. I know storage will be a huge hurdle but hopefully at some point!
I'm new here but I'm glad I came to your channel I'm in Sydney what a mission but great job 😮
Welcome! :)
Another awesome haul❤
A lengthy one hehe :D
thanks Nyssa for another amazing haul, all your hard work definately pays off
I used to roast sweet potato cubes with garlic powder, salt, pepper and paprika until they’re kind of crispy on the outside and soft in the middle and then put bolognese sauce on them, delicious!
I am a bit funny about the texture, I don’t eat pumpkin either lol, weird I know!
@@OurSmallFootprint ahh fair, maybe make it extra crunchy, like chips
i am always amazed at the amount of food you buy and how you use it for how little you actually spend. I only spend less on food because we are a smaller family our per meal per person numbers are a bit smaller when i change it to US$ to not really be a difference. you are just amazing though in doing 8-9 weeks. i only do 5
i,m in awe i dont know how you do it,,i panic getting a weeks worth home for just me and my grandson lol,amazing haul and some excess that we all need incase of emergencies xxx
An amazing vegan Caribbean dessert with sweet potato: peel and blend potatoes with coconut milk add sugar (sweetener) to taste (remember it tastes sweeter after baking). It has to be on the runny side. i add ginger nutmeg and cinnamon. But you can use whatever you like or nothing at all. Bake until it looks like a runny pudding and it looks really dark. Around 2 hrs! It firms up in the fridge but i like it hot. I usually add butter to the top half way through the baking but you can use ghee, it gives it a soft shiny top. You would love it.
Ooooh, I'll have to give that a go! :D Thank you :D
Oh wow that’s quite a haul love but I guess it’s for a couple of months or so 😊the price of groceries is beyond ridiculous! I’ve started shopping at Aldi more often and have noticed quite a price difference to what I would spend at Coles or Woolies with an average saving of $15-$20 per week. I do buy a few bits and bobs from the duopoly that I can’t get at Aldi but there is a notable difference.
Thanks for sharing, that was really interesting love.
Catch you next time
Argh! I am at work & can't watch yet, haha. Something to look forward to later 😊 xx
Another fantastic supply run. Thx so much for taking the time w it, I do really enjoy watching.
I did my 7-day supply run yesterday. My 2 bags fitted on my front seat 😊 xx
I bought a cremi a couple of years ago, and I used it for about 6 months, then put it away and forgot to pull it out. Watching you get new ideas makes me want to pull mine back out
While it’s cold, I haven’t used it as much, but there’s a fire inside so hey! lol, but I reckon in summer it will get a massive workout, we’ll have plenty of eggs from the chooks and the kids can have lots of varied flavours!
Hi nessa...we love the hismile toothpaste as well, its a smaller tube, but you don't need as much. Ill never go back to the regular toothpaste. I love anything mango flavoured...the mango icerecream in the ninja sounds so good. Love your channel ❤
I was complaining about finding chicken at 2.99lb when I used to be able to get it for $1.69 but if I did the math right you're paying $5 lb! 😢 😮
Yeah, meat here is the big difference in cost (I think soft drink/coke/soda too, but I rarely buy that) we don’t really have specials on meat much, there might be one day specials at the butcher, that I miss, or discounted because they are short dated. But def not the kind of sales I see on US channels on meat!
What a great haul , you got so much and sometimes we need a few treats !
Love ur videos. I'm off school nowno more teaching duties so I'm going to binge watch ur videos. X
Before the tomatoes go off. You can blend them and put in a freezer bag and store in freezer. 😊
I run out of freezer space a lot hehe, but I love to just roast them in trays and can them :D and that is prob what will happen with the majority, or I turn them into salsa for the shelves too :D
All that broccoli, carrots and cauliflower has me thinking of my grandpas “leftover” soup. He takes fresh veggie odds and makes a creamy chowder like soup with it ands bread. Is delicious 🤤 I make it very garlicky. I bet it would be good with rice milk if you have extra.
Hi nyssa. Loved your video.after those couple of days you must be shattered. Love marilynx❤️🇬🇧
Always love watching these hauls, you’re incredible 🤩
What an exhausting few days! Persimmon are excellent in smoothies or as the sweet part of a savory sauce (like BBQ) I do not like them alone.
What a long grocery marathon! You deserve a mini vacation.
Btw there is a gas for the car savings when you go longer between shops.
Definitely, same fuel cost each time so the less I go the better :)
What a great haul, can't wait to see what you make with everything. ❤❤❤❤
Job well done 😮
Plus U could grow some starters to grow next year or now in your garden easy to grow...
I dont know how you manage to do it all, amazing xxx
Really looking forward to your planning video Nyssa.
The cheese burger pringles are my favorite lol you have spoiled us with all these new videos Nyssa!! Blessings!
Hey Nyssa (aka SuperMum), I did notice you had extra goodies this time. But it's winter & if we didn't have a little treat now and then, then life wouldn't be so yummy. Besides, you deserve it. Hope Darryl enjoys his steak ♥
when you said over 4000 dollars i could feel my wallet twitching has well has my eyes lol lol 😳, but it 9 weeks and good heathy food there and really breakfast -lunch and dinner and few treats so pretty good , going ,shopping in that heat must have been a mission
It was definitely a big spend! But when I break it down, I'm ok with it, its still so much money all at once! but because i KNOW that I will make it last, that makes it easier to bear :D
