Grocery hauls seem to be really popular on youtube but yours is the most interesting of all where you go such long periods in between shops. Great job just don't get ill from over doing.
They definitely seem to draw in a bit of a new audience, I wouldn’t purposely do them for more views, but if I’m already doing it I’m happy to share lol, I very much film what I’m doing, I don’t have time to do things to make content hehe, so it works well for me! :) I try very hard not to push myself excessively, I know I’ve still got a lot of work to do once I get home geh

I am amazed, in todays' world, that no one tries to steal thing off the back of your truck while you're at your mum's or in stores.
Hehe, yes, and far far more clutter in my place than hers :D Definitely, Keep them there as long as possible and layby'd as well, so that way I can pick them up last shopping trip hehe :D. I try and have most of the stuff covered when its parked, in the esky's or the toolboxes or in the back of the car, but it is always a bit of a risk!
@@OurSmallFootprint I forgot to say that at this time of year I would be making my favorite holiday ice cream....peppermint. I buy about 6-7 quarts of it when it comes out and savor it throughout the year. So refreshing.
Yay!! Thank you for filming in the stress and the heat! So funny to see everything piled up around you! The ice cream machine will be so worth it especially with all the fruit!! Can’t wait to see the haul!
Great job! You definitely do not suck at these videos. Do what feels comfortable and leave the rest. Enjoy some ice cream in between processing all that beautiful fruit!
Hehe, its so frustrating, but I have to keep reminding myself that we wear at a minimum 8 pairs of socks and 8 pairs of underwear a day, and therefore things wear out and go missing easier!
@@jenniferr2057 Hehe, I think most of our lost socks are in the paddock/property somewhere, the boys are forever going out of the yard in just socks, then they'll do something like go in the chook pen or stand in a puddle, the socks will get yuck, so they strip them off and just leave them where they are and then go get new ones when they're back inside! and then in the horrible sun we have here, even if its 24 hours they're out by the time they come back in to be washed they're all brittle *sigh* lol.
Thank you :D. I enjoy having the time to shower and wash it in the morning (we do night time showers here because it is more efficient!) and let it air dry heh :D Though it's getting a bit hot to wear it down now! :D
One of those things excited to go fill up the pantry then wore out and ready for a day of nothing. I go once a month we live in the middle of no where it's an hour drive to the city,and I enjoy the hunt but glad it's only once a month.
Great haul! You are going to love having that icecream maker😊. The weather has been really hot here as well...im in broken hill nsw. Love watching grocery haul the most x
Great haul , it's always hard filming in public when there are people around and your like me a million thoughts in your head that you think oh i should explain this but oh i'll do it later and suddenly - it's the next day ... LOL
Your so organised! 99% of the time I go into town, I take my dogs with me. I'm rushing in and out of shops as fast as possible! Will have to change that over summer! My husband says he will do the shopping, but he always forgets so much or buys things we don't need!
i totally agree with you regarding socks and underpants, my grandson who lives with me, must be eating them too,,i cant find them for love nor money ,and as for shoes ,ive just had to buy another pair, as he keeps having growth spurts, 3rd pair in less than 6 months lol xx
Food juggling act indeed in the car. Hard enough on a pleasant day let alone a hot one. Ice cream maker whoopee. Getting another freezer? lol. At least you managed without a trailer in tow. Your hair has the loveliest wavy curls. Nice fruit scores.
We’re really contemplating it lol, not just for the ice cream ;). There’s a rebate atm on buying 4* + appliances and it’s a really good one but I still have to buy it first, I’d love another hybrid and we can run one as a fridge, one as a freezer, but Urgh, I dunno if I can stretch it lol! It’s always so nice when I can wash and let it air dry at mums heh
wow i love a shopping haul❤ i do feel sorry for you shopping in that heat and i believe summer has only just started? stay cool with extra icecream😂😂❤🇬🇧
@@OurSmallFootprint more expense eh😭 cant wait to see the icecream as ive just sat here and eaten a tub to myself watching your video🤣yep i had icecream for breakfast🤣🤣
Another fantastic video Nyssa - you are a very hard working person. Don't have any worries about what "new" viewers may think of your intro / chat etc, remember that all your regulars who love you were once first time viewers - the new ones will love you too!! I don't know how you have the energy for that long drive home after the enormous effort you put into the shopping. Do you listen to music or something on podcast during the drive?
I put Spotify on my phone and hook it to the stereo, we have a little Bluetooth thing that plugs into the lighter port! The radio cuts out not far past Costco hehe, so have to have something
Nyssa as usual you amaze me what you manage to do in such a short time😊😊 Hope your Mum feeling better ❤ Well the haul medal of achievement goes to you 👏👏👏👏👏 As usual a pleasure to watch, thank you for sharing, girl worn out just watching you in that heat ❤❤ Love from the UK x
Hey Nyssa🥰 Wow I was worried about the ice cream maker right near your head 😳 I think it was a great decision buying it this time, it will get used loads!!! Especially in the temps it gets to at your place. Bummer the utes air con. doesn’t work, does it just need regasing? Love seeing everyone pitch in & help unpack the Ute when you get home 🥰
I had it wedged in there, but it wasn’t ideal! There’s a switch broken behind the control panel, I have to replace the whole panel because it’s all one piece, I have to source one and I’ve been slack lol. It’s been a couple of years now!
Well that was a fat 6 weeks…great haul…I’m sure it’s not always easy to sum up how much of what is needed as we too go In ebbs and flows..as to what we consume more or less of…Seasons play a big part I guess…but gosh you did well with the fruits…you have a good supplier and that’s good for you and your pocket…time is sure flying by fast😬…looking forward to the haul video..always thanks for sharing 👍…
We definitely eat differently depending on the weather, but we also school full time except normally December, normally that's when we take a break sort of, we do lots of Christmas crafting etc, which isn't necessarily not educational, but less structured schooling, enjoy summer/christmas/the garden etc!
Hehe, I hope so, I hope its not one of those things that will sit in a cupboard, but I can't see that with all these kids, and we have some great books on ice cream too!
My Goodness you are inspiring! Respect! I wish you had more help but it is what it is huh? Question: You obviously adore/love your family. Do you enjoy the time by yourself when you have to leave & shop? Like a little quite "you" time?
It's definitely nice when mum comes along, but sometimes its just quicker to do it myself hehe. I very much enjoy those couple of days at mums every 6 weeks, I wouldn't want to do it too often, but sitting on mums couch watching mindless television with no demands is quite lovely hehe :D
Do you have an Amazon wishlist that you could share for those of us that would like to send you a gift? I know you may feel “weird” about that, however sometimes we just like to surprise you :)
I'm curious, I know you buy for your kids for Christmas, birthdays etc, but do they choose Christmas gifts either for you as parents or for their siblings? If so, how do you make this work?
Darryl tends to take them into town or the city depending what else needs doing and they get the opportunity to buy something small if they want, but we don’t really make it a big thing as yet, we don’t really do pocket money or anything, if they want something in particular they do something extra to earn it (cleaned the car out the other day for $5 worth of robux or whatever they’re called each heh) I tend to buy for D from all of us and I don’t really receive gifts much because I’m always the organiser, but it doesn’t worry me. It might all change as they get older, Surreal is starting to earn some of her own money but the next oldest is only 12.
Thanks for responding!! I do similar with my son, I was just curious as to how you make it work!! Trust us mums to be happy with going without lol, but tbh, the crap his dad buys me I'd rather go without!! My new partner is so thoughtful though and actually makes an effort.
@@TheLifeOfAliInAustralia as they get older I think we’ll instigate it a bit more and they can use online shopping etc. but I enjoy doing what I do and we don’t need more ‘stuff’ so by being the primary gift buyer I can control what comes into the house as well! :). I buy what I want/need at the time hehe and most of it is kitchen stuff anyway!
Hello it's nice to c what u buy . I'm nosey an I like to c what's in Evryones pantry an fridge... Not much in mine a few veggies an some meat in the freezer some side dishes in the cupboard an some snacks on the shelf❤😂.... An the batteries r always dead.... 😂 Heeheehee . I love ur long curly hair it's so pretty ❤
I know you have lots of help unloading the groceries, but was wondering if you had anyone to help you, when you have to rearrange everything to get a better fit? You have so much to do as it is, you need a " spa" day while there.
No, I normally pull an esky down and use that as a step so I can get up on the back of the ute and rearrange/move stuff, its why I tend to do it at the Costco carpark though there is heaps of room if I park down the back, no cars around me etc hehe, is hot though! and I do wish they had covered parking hehe. If mum comes to costco with me, she gives me a bit of a hand as much as she can, but I'm pretty used to getting up and down off the back of the ute (even if I look like I can't :D). I definitely have some relaxation while I'm down there, I come back to mums by 5/6pm every night and we just veg out and watch TV, sometimes we uber in food and sometimes I've bought something to throw in the air fryer :D
No sunburn this trip :). Lots of sunscreen and a hat, prob just look red cause I’m always filming while puffed! Heh. The mole on my nose gets checked regularly but it’s basically the same as it has been my whole adult life :) Thankyou! :)
I’m truly exhausted watching you doing this food haul knowing how hard it is mentally and physically as I, myself did it ALL for over 25 yrs all by myself with no help ..but..I did my shop weekly ..lol..
Heh, sometimes I wonder if it would be easier closer together but then I remember by doing it this way it’s all done and over with for the next 4-6 weeks and that makes me happy! Lol
Nyssa, that would stress me out trying to buy everything you need for six weeks. WELL mostly* everything you need. But still its just my hubby and I and I am a food hoarder. We have food everywhere kinda like you :) hes the meat eater, I could care less.
It took a while, but it kinda is a bit of a natural process now, I just know what we have and what we need and how much we use in a six week period etc, its just the norm now! heh :)
Once again I’m in awe of how much you plan, shop, load and pack.
It's become the norm now I think, it isn't as hard as it used to be because I do it regularly! :D
Grocery hauls seem to be really popular on youtube but yours is the most interesting of all where you go such long periods in between shops. Great job just don't get ill from over doing.
They definitely seem to draw in a bit of a new audience, I wouldn’t purposely do them for more views, but if I’m already doing it I’m happy to share lol, I very much film what I’m doing, I don’t have time to do things to make content hehe, so it works well for me! :)
I try very hard not to push myself excessively, I know I’ve still got a lot of work to do once I get home geh
Oh Nyssa, you are a wonderful content creator and you definately don't need to feel nervous doing any intro, you are automatically a natural🌻.
For the NEW viewers: When she says she's in a clean environment at her mum's, what she means is she has an outdoor kitchen and, therefore, there is a lot of dirt, sand and dust all over her items which are tightly covered in tubs until ready to use. Nyssa, I hope you keep Christmas gifts at your mum's. Good way to keep them safe and unable to find....LOL. Good haul! I am amazed, in todays' world, that no one tries to steal thing off the back of your truck while you're at your mum's or in stores.
Hehe, yes, and far far more clutter in my place than hers :D
Definitely, Keep them there as long as possible and layby'd as well, so that way I can pick them up last shopping trip hehe :D. I try and have most of the stuff covered when its parked, in the esky's or the toolboxes or in the back of the car, but it is always a bit of a risk!
@@OurSmallFootprint I forgot to say that at this time of year I would be making my favorite holiday ice cream....peppermint. I buy about 6-7 quarts of it when it comes out and savor it throughout the year. So refreshing.
Love your new amber necklaces ❤
I'm really happy with it, hehe, it took me a lot to spend on a second one, I just felt it was a bit of a luxury, but I really like it hehe :D
Yay!! Thank you for filming in the stress and the heat! So funny to see everything piled up around you! The ice cream machine will be so worth it especially with all the fruit!! Can’t wait to see the haul!
It's only going to get warmer urgh, I really need to get the air con fixed in the car lol.
You are always awesome Nyssa! Love how candid you are, all the information you share, and learn so much from your planning and cooking
Thankyou! :D
I hope you and your family stay safe with the fires!!
Great job! You definitely do not suck at these videos. Do what feels comfortable and leave the rest. Enjoy some ice cream in between processing all that beautiful fruit!
There is a Laundromat in ND, US called The Lost Sock. The struggle is real!
Hehe, its so frustrating, but I have to keep reminding myself that we wear at a minimum 8 pairs of socks and 8 pairs of underwear a day, and therefore things wear out and go missing easier!
😂😂
@@OurSmallFootprint but really, where DO they go? Some parallel universe? Lol?
@@jenniferr2057 Hehe, I think most of our lost socks are in the paddock/property somewhere, the boys are forever going out of the yard in just socks, then they'll do something like go in the chook pen or stand in a puddle, the socks will get yuck, so they strip them off and just leave them where they are and then go get new ones when they're back inside! and then in the horrible sun we have here, even if its 24 hours they're out by the time they come back in to be washed they're all brittle *sigh* lol.
What a brilliant name !
Hi Nyssa, you always make your shopping trips exciting. Happy shopping
hehe, you mean there's always something that goes wrong! :D
No it doesn't go wrong just sidelined
Good idea on getting the icecream maker it will be great for your hot summer! Great job as always can't wait to see the haul! Take care and stay safe!
So much work!! You rocked it though!!! Awesome price on the fruit! The ice cream thing looks fun!
Lots of really great fruit buys! I do love summer for that! :D
It seems that six weeks comes around so fast, probably more for you than us. Great job as usual.
It drags during the six weeks, but then seems to rush up on me as well sometimes! :D
I love when you do groceries , and your hair looked beautiful on this video
Thank you :D. I enjoy having the time to shower and wash it in the morning (we do night time showers here because it is more efficient!) and let it air dry heh :D Though it's getting a bit hot to wear it down now! :D

I do enjoy aspects of it, definitely, and I enjoy getting the food into the pantry etc, but I am definitely glad I don't have to go very often heh
Your hair is so pretty and curly. You put out lots of effort to pack the vehicle with the groceries.
Great video. Sorry you were so hot.
Thank you Sally, it always looks nicer when I’m at mums because I have the time to scrunch and air dry it heh

Heh, we’ve discussed D going instead but he’d have to have a very strict list and I buy so much on the fly depending on what’s avail etc!
So enjoy your shopping trips thank you for always sharing. The children are growing so fast. The best to you and your family
Can’t wait to see you make ice cream!
So many choices to make!
