Idk about anyone else but $6.34 per DAY to feed your family of 8 is absolutely mind bending AMAZING!!! Especially with grocery prices..$40 for a box of bananas is bananas in my opinion but just LOOK at you including it to make the kiddos happy and still come out in budget.. just great, I love these videos... thank you so much for sharing!!!

Banana's are definitely something I tend to buy at stupid pricing, not excessive, but stupid pricing lol, it is such a great snack for the kids and it makes smoothies creamy and urgh lol. Now that I have the freezer though, I definitely need to make sure when they're really cheap to buy multiple boxes so I don't have to buy as many when they're expensive!

Hi Nyssa🥰 You are looking great, I’m hoping your tooth pain has settled down. Good shopping haul, the tower of rice milk will keep the kids going for a while. Yay!!! Keep to hear what you think of the air fryer & what meals you use it for. I still haven’t bought one but have been thinking about it lately. I’ll finally be able to get to the post office tomorrow so parcel coming soon. I love the kids munching on the grapes straight away. I imagine it would feel like Christmas every time you get back from the shopping trip. Rest well, awesome work 🤩

Mum has an air fryer and I cook us meals in it most of the time I'm there hehe, she buys in one night and then I grab stuff with my shopping and cook the other night or two hehe... it's wonderful, but a different use than for us as a family, can cook two peoples entire meal in it, but for me, I'm liking the idea of things like frozen potato chips, because they never work as well in an oven, and potaotes are something we regularly run out of by the end of the 6 weeks, so if I could have some bags of them in the freezer as sides for meals! But I think it might be good for quick lunches too, rather than long winded on the bbq! The tooth is still bothering me slightly but its pretty good now, still finishing off the second course of antibiotics atm

I've been really slack with making bread lately, those wraps will get well used while its so hot lol.

I love these shopping / budget breakdowns. There’s around two Aussie dollars to a pound sterling, so the idea that you are feeding everyone for a pound each per meal is amazing, particularly given the type and variety of food that you’re producing. I can see that forking out that sort of money all at once would be daunting for anyone! But when you break it down you can see exactly how much you are actually saving by shopping the way you do, and how much harder it would be on the budget if you did it any other way. You done good, girl!

It definitely wasn't doable on a more regular shopping cycle, it just didn't work out as cost efficient, only by dragging it out to these longer shopping trips could I bring the costs down, its weird isn't it, spending a big sum once every six weeks makes my overall shopping cheaper lol. It does make for an extremely expensive trip, but I think because I have a running cashflow I can see that the money isn't spent between shops so it makes it easier to tolerate! But its not something you can just start doing on a whim, definitely takes some planning!

There was a definite learning curve to it, figuring out the quantities to make sure it lasted with hopefully a bit of a surplus etc. But the big thing is a change in the way you consume too, most people say they just couldn't not have fresh fruit and veg each week, and whilst that would be ideal (and hopefully eventually the garden will provide better) its not 'necessary' to still have a well banalced diet

I’ve used the Ecos brand laundry soap for years. I do use less soap than most because I’ve heard different repair men say you don’t need as much as they recommend. They do this so use more/buy more. I do add a cap of bleach per load. I find it kills any odours/ disinfectant, especially in towels. I did use a non-bleach solution when my kids were younger and it worked well. Especially because I had young helpers then there were no bleach accidents. I love all grocery hauls. ❤

I'm a bit of a stingy user as well, but all the kids seem to be overusers lol, just a kid thing I'm sure, so we'll figure out a way for Surreal to know her portions, a pump bottle that needs two pumps or something, the cap has lines on it I think, but its such a big awkward bottle I don't think she's managing to stay in the line when she's pouring, if she's even using the cap lol.

​@OurSmallFootprint oh of course, I wasn't judging. We avoid using them to cook but sometimes buy crisps or crackers for treats that contain seed or palm oil. Everyone is doing what's best for their family I was just adding about the additional health issues as you said you were googling why they had a bad rep. 😊

I understood that canola oil is a genetically-modified type of rapeseed - it’s not rapeseed oil as we know it, at least here in the UK. I use cold-pressed British rapeseed oil for most of my cooking, given that EVOO is unsuitable for cooking and most “olive oil” (as opposed to EVOO) you can buy these days seems to be mixed with other stuff to make it cheaper. But it’s all a bit of a minefield, for sure.

@@frugalitystartsathome4889 most things in Australia if they are Australian are not GM, as far as I’m aware, we grow a lot of canola and most of it isn’t genetically modified and this one is cold pressed so no solvents used but who knows! lol, so much information it’s so hard to wade through it!

I feel like some stuff has come back down to a stable price or at least stopped rising, and other stuff still is, its a bit of a challenge working out pricing each month not knowing what I'm going to find when I go in, but I do feel like there's a few more specials avail again!

Hi from Canada, love your videos would love to see prices of things but I know that would be a lot of work.. question do you have kangaroos or koalas close to you ?
@OurSmallFootprint
@OurSmallFootprint 9 ай бұрын
I always think about trying to give prices for everything, but yeah, the work turns me off lol, I do spreadsheet it all though, so hopefully I can get it in some semblance to share, I like to see the increases in price between shops! We used to have a family of wallabies that came through every evening here, but the bushfires must have impacted some of their habitat so we don't see them anynmore, but in general, yes, we hear koalas sometimes at night and you see kangaroos all the time when driving at dusk :D

It's a powdered bouillon, I think its vegetarian, but it reminds me of chicken flavour, just a lot of powdered herbs and spices with salt and a little MSG. A shortcut hehe, its very cheap though for the quantity, I dunno if I could make the same mix myself with my herbs etc for the same price!

@@karenwittfoth5380 I know there are some varieties that are msg free and tbh I used to buy them, but msg does add some great flavour and nobody here seems to have an issue with it! So this one is very flavourful and cheap with good ingredients (if you can tolerate the msg) so I’ve been buying it every few months to have on hand :)
