384 - Shop with me! 8 week supply run, 3 days, Costco, Kmart, Coles, Aldi, Bunnings ++ | Australia

[@daniellem2477]

I can't believe how much work goes into your shopping trips. I'm tired just watching it. I like these videos a lot. Can't wait to see the haul :)

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I do like that they're only every 6/8 weeks though lol, all over and done with!

[@kellyvandenmeiracker8951]

I shop fornightly and it's a big day! I can't imagine a 6 to 8 week shop

[@OurSmallFootprint]

@@kellyvandenmeiracker8951 it definitely needs the longer stay, I used to only do one night and most of it all in one day, that’s not feasible anymore

[@wannie9731]

Your videos are never useless, love each and every one of them

[@frugalitystartsathome4889]

Honestly, if I could give this one a dozen likes I would do so in a heartbeat. You really show what goes into doing your regular grocery shopping (unlike the US homesteaders spending thousands every month on their organic hauls, but then afterwards just popping to the store to pick up the special ingredient they need to batch-cook the family meals they’ve supposedly pre-planned…) and I know we all feel for you when we see what you need to do to make it work. These are rapidly becoming even more of a favourite than seeing the hauls themselves so please keep doing them - that jenga loading up of the ute and trailer was fascinating!

[@crazygrandmaweaz8942]

Lol you are so right about some other channels. Most of them have never learned the "use what you have" concept.

[@sharonburling2262]

You do an amazing job with the driving , taking the trailer, all the shopping and loading and unloading! It's exhausting just watching it! Your mum is a treasure!

[@ANNtique]

It exhausts me just watching your shopping trips. So much work and so many stores in such a short space of time but you have it down to a fine art!

[@debbiepower8780]

Don't apologise for not filming while shopping, I don't know how you manage to all your shopping done let alone taking the extra time it takes to film. If people don't like your 'talking head' bits then it's their choice to watch or not but they really don't need to make useless comments about it. Your channel popped up on my feed last week and I have been binge watching all your old videos, I'm amazed at how well you shop, prepare and use the food you buy and the wide variety of food you cook, on the equipment you have.

[@crazygrandmaweaz8942]

You are the abdolute best at organization and time management!!! Most folks can't get enough supplies and food in one trip to last a week without stopping off somewhere for another item. You do it for a 8 weeks! AND the kids are fed real nutrition not crap prepackaged garbage. You are a true inspiration.

[@forlostnfound]

Wow, Nyssa. Just wow. Another astounding video, you are SO good at what you do. The final shots of the packed/netted ute & trailer were jaw dropping. I'm telling you, I could not do what you do. Not even close. Hopefully you've been able to rest up a bit over the weekend. Also, I found myself excited for all the kids to get their new jammies & slippers. Yayyy! :))))

[@heatherbolichowski1910]

Really enjoyed this one with the snippets from each shop. It's such a mental load to keep track of everything and make sure you're getting what you need, I'm not surprised that you need to do it alone to concentrate. Very impressive! I would need to have SUCH a detailed list in order to not forget things. It didn't look like you got much from the butcher this trip, so I'll be watching the next video to see for sure!

[@OurSmallFootprint]

The butcher didn’t have a huge amount, I got most of my normal from Costco though :)

[@em......]

My birthday was on Anzac day. So a day before your mum? Happy birthday to her 😊🎈 I feel stressed for you when I watch these videos, but I love them. It's great you get to eat twisties and shapes on the way home. Yum. Those PJs for the kids all looked so nice and cosy. I love winter!

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Yop, she was the 26th :D. I walked her feet off in costco for her b'day lol. Do you know, because it was dark I barely snacked, concentrating too much on the driving lol.

[@em......]

@@OurSmallFootprint what a kind birthday treat for your mum haha. Oh I understand about not wanting to snack while driving in the dark. Especially if there is a chance of kangaroos jumping out in front of you! (Not sure if you would have that problem where you drive). That sort of thing freaks me out (one jumped on my mum's car once on her way home from work. It was so lucky she wasn't killed!)

Well you definitely had an adventure this time. Hard with the extra needed to cover longer periods of time. Not to mention getting hold of all the other bits and bobs to set up the new rooms. And it had to rain, blast! Well done. I bought a pair of those slipper socks from Woolworths after Mothers Day a few years back. One wash and they were no longer fitting and went all skewwiff. I’m sure they have improved since when I got a pair. Hot dogs another night, no dramas I’m sure. It gets dark so early now, it does my head in. The lack of light come 5.30 - 6.00 pm. I was thinking, I hope Nyssa has no car problems on the way home. What a drama with all that load it would be. Happy Birthday to your mum. Did you get to go out? I think I would’ve been too tired and ordered in instead. Phew!

Ok I’m pooped just watching all of this shopping! Thanks goodness for you, you only shop 6 to 8 weeks. Maybe call Aldi ahead of time and ask them to put a case or cases of what you need in those large quantities to save you running around to a few shops. You are amazing and I love watching from the comfort of my couch 🥰🇦🇺😂

I have asked Aldi previously, though not tried ringing ahead, but they don't seem to have stock available outside of whats on the shelves mostly! everytime I've asked about anything, they always go check and come back with, nope, everything we have is on the shelf!

Hi, I thought that this maybe helpful. Many years ago my mum used to trace around our feet onto a piece of cardboard when she wanted to get us shoes and we couldn't be there to try them on since we were in school. He did it for dads shoes as well. I just went to Kmart here in New Zealand to get myself slippers and pjs too. 😊

[@OurSmallFootprint]

A few people have suggested that! I'll have to give it a go, I even measured their feet and ordered shoes online recently and they still turned up and were too big lol.

[@judypherigo8902]

i just love watching you

[@needscoffee100]

I used to carry a paper cutout of my kid’s feet in my wallet, for when I was shopping without them. Hold them to the bottom of the shoe to pick the right general size and because they’re paper they slip into the shoe easily. Just slip your hand in and check it’s in all the way to the tip with a little wiggle room. Never had a purchase not fit.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I have had that suggested a lot, I'll have to give it a go! :D. I did measure everyones feet before I did the online order recently and they still ended up too large *sigh* lol

Oh wow Nyssa, did you have a HUGE HAUL this time... My goodness you need a bigger trailer.. You did find some bargins, though.. was wondering how the slipper socks will work on your flooring , will they get awfully dirty?? I hope you Mum had a great Birthday 🎉... I am sure your new rooms are going to look fantastic... Remember the extra money you spent was a necessity due to the new bedrooms, but I am positive you researched & hunted out the best price .. Well done, you need a medal.. 🏅...

[@OurSmallFootprint]

They will get pretty dirty, but it’s just sand/dust, we’ll just have to wash them regularly. And I kinda like that they’ll be taken off when going outside. They prob wouldn’t take the hard soled ones off and then trek more dirt inside!
