- Hey everyone!
This months hamper from Aberdeen Pantry Services! :D
Enjoy!
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 :)

Those hampers are awesome value. I enjoy your squirreling off onto other subjects...it feels like a normal conversation and not just someone talking to a camera. You always make your meal prep sound and look so easy and delicious..a testament to your cooking and organisational skills 👌 😊
It was a very well filled hamper this month!
Thank you! :)
Hope this helps towards improvements. You deserve much more than you have. Love the show. Janice, Yorkshire, England. 😊
Thank you so much Janice!
Hi. I absolutely love your videos. I love the ramblings. I talk the same way. My mind goes in 20 different directions. Never be sorry for how you talk. At least I love it. Have a great day.
So appreciate your videos and the length you go to, to bring everyone into your homestead life. I’ve never been to Australia but it’s a dream of mine to visit.
Very good hamper
And a great squirrel off on the build project. 😊
Fantastic value for your money in this month's hamper Nyssa👍😊
A very generous hamper this month! :D
Pressure cooked chicken is amazing! So is a big chuck roast for shredded beef on hand for lots of different meals. They aren’t dry compared to oven cooked 👏
Hi Nyssa, that was a good haul. Those are so worth it for the money. I hope the new building will go easy for you and your finances.Things will work themselves out. Money here is very tight for us. Trying to help our kids here there when we can. Great video to today! TFS!❤
Building starts this morning, hopeful that we have everything we need!
Money is tight for everyone atm, the price of everything has gotten so high and most people have debt that they have to pay, I sympathise with everyone atm!
Love your gorgeous smile and your videos of course. Thanks Nissa💕😁
Those rolled turkey breasts are good here in the USA. Depending on if it's just the boneless breast rolled or if it's processed turkey, the "processed" ones have more of the lunchmeat texture. Flavor is generally good on both. When my boys were little they were cheap. I'd slice them, serve over mashed potatoes with gravy.
Definitely had a grain to it that seemed like meat, it fell apart across that grain, we defrosted one and used it, very tasty, has a stuffing in the middle but just a small bit, which was pleasant to the taste too! We had that one cold in various dishes, but I think I'll try heating the other one as more like a roast and serving warm over veg like you said :D
Thats is what you do Nyssa , ramble and your viewers love it ❤..
I am sure you will make ends meet regarding your finances because you certainly know how to save on food etc..The food hamper was fantastic this month for $50.00..😊
I definitely budget hard and we make it work! But it is always stressful having the extra expenses we don't expect hehe. :D
This I so understand. ... all will work out Nyssa...
I love seeing what you get in the hampers. This one looked really worth way more than $50. Also, I had a stove top pressure cooker for years and they are so handy. Good luck with the buildings and thanks for sharing your life with us.
I think it will come in super handy! I have birria on the menu over the next couple of days and then I'm going to try one of those whole chickens hehe :D
Great hamper. Lots of great meat. Hope the kids like "turkey". I liked your ramble about your building project. Glad you got the gift of the pressure cooker.
I'm sure they will like it lol, I've got one roll in the fridge defrosting for them to try! They love chicken loaf so I can't see why they won't like this one :D
So very grateful that people are inclined to gift me things, when I know how money is tight for everyone, it is very very appreciated!
Off grid over 40 years. You’re doing great. I know borrowing money is not something we like to do. But, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. You’ll figure it out as you go.
We'll make it work! It would have been nicer not to have to do it, but with the kids aging up we just ran out of time to try and do it without borrowing.
Holy, moley! That’s some great food for 50.00!! Our pantries don’t charge for food but we don’t get anywhere near as much fresh as you do! You probably wouldn’t get three chickens, either. (Although, with large families i’m not so sure.) Superb!! So much goodness!❤
This one was very abundant, super grateful! Sometimes they're a bit lacklustre, but they're always valued at more than the $50 that we pay so that's ok! :D
that was a great value hamper this time , no tiny sample packs but lot chicken ,well worth it
Definitely! Some are definitely better value than others, but they're still worth more than the $50 we pay, so it's worth buying! :D
I love when you squirrel talking it’s hilarious and you’re so funny
My brain and my mouth just don't seem to go the same speed lol
Great hamper and I enjoyed the update on the build
I so appreciate you and your family. You give me hope. My daughter and I enjoy watching your videos. You make us smile. We love your ramblings. Just keep being true to you. You are beautiful and wonderful.
Thank you so much! :D
Hi Nyssa, good hamper this month, with much more meat. Looking forward to what you do with it. I also want to say how lovely you looked in your lilac top. The colour really suits you. Hope building improvements continue well. x
Very full hamper this month! super good :D
Nyssa i do love all of your videos i can tell you my favourites are the meal prepping
Grocery hauls and you hampers
All of them are a pleasure to watch but those ones are my favourite
Take care
I think some of the in between videos are for me rather than my viewers hehe everyone watches but the good ones are definitely the ones people watch most! Which is lucky, because I spend a lot of time in the kitchen lol!
Great hamper.
So worth getting the hamper! That’s great!😊
Very good value!
Looks like a great hamper this time.
a very generous one! :D
Wow Nysa that was certainly a good value hamper. I enjoy the squirrelling.
a very generous one this month, always grateful! :D
That hamper is fantastic value
Turkey rolls are my favourite meat
I've got one in the fridge defrosting, so we'll give it a go once it has! :D
In Canada boneless skinless chicken thighs are $14.99 a kilo with bone in skin on is $8.99. I told a clerk for a savings of $6 a kilo i will remove bone and skin myself. And i don't like thigh meat but i am trying to expand my meat choices. I detest wings, when i got chickens from the farm i would part it out with all the wings going in a bag to freeze. Then when i went to potlucks i cooked the wings up and people were thrilled!
I used to never be a fan of thighs, but I have grown to appreciate them over the years, cutting that bone out is so simple, but even the bone in ones here were quite expensive (9.50kg bone in, 11.49kg bone out!) not a huge price difference!
I actually used to not be a fan of wings/legs, any bone in chicken, I have decided that certain ways that I cook them appeal to me more than others and have sort of gotten a taste for them, I don't like the pointy bit of the wings though and they are a great food for the dogs, so they enjoy them! :D
Exciting weeks ahead. I agree with you in getting it all done at the same time, done and dusted.
If you don’t just power through sometimes it never gets finished!
That’s a lot of food! Fantastic!!!
Definitely a great prop up to our food for the month!
Great pantry this month.
A very generous one!
Pomelos are amazing, like a milder grapefruit. The children might like slices or wedges like an orange. Or a fresh fruit salsa? Sending some coffees for your project. 💜
And I think they would last for weeks in the fridge.
Love your rambles, keep being yourself!
Hi Nyssa! Amazing hamper that you received :) ALDI have whole chickens for only $3.99 a kilo all of the time. They are somewhat smaller than the Coles or Woolies ones, but they do make excellent chicken stock :)
Someone else mentioned that! I haven't looked tbh because I tend to not buy meat from coles/aldi because I go there on the Thurs and don't leave till the Friday, so need to walk them up to mums fridges and then back down to the esky's and they sit in the esky's all day etc, but that is actually fine, the esky's are rated for that and I stick ice packs in them in the morning, it is just another 'step' to think about heh :D
Wow! What a great hamper! Well worth the £50.
I live off grid with my family on the mid north coast NSW. At the moment we are enjoying exploiting lamb and pork from Coles, at $8 a kilo that's cheap especially for lamb. A 3 kilo lamb leg roast @approx $30 ish for our whole family is good eating. My husband enjoys cold roast meat sandwiches for lunch at work the next day. Great value especially in the current economic climate. Have a nice day 😊
I don't really look at the price of meat at coles generally! because I go there the day before I leave, I tend to not buy it because I'd have to bring it up to mums fridge and back down to the esky's the next day and the travel etc, but maybe I need to take a better look, it seems like Coles has brought a lot of their meat prices down, I checked online after discussing the chook prices and I was right, they were $5.50kg in December, then $4.50kg in January but on sale for $3.50kg so things must be getting easier to get for them. I will definitely make a point of checking this month.
Yay! A pressure cooker. I'm not a fan of the texture of pressure cooked chicken, but I do use mine mostly for broth, does a brilliant job in an hour. The same as if I had been using the slow cooker for 12+ hours.
Our coles have been doing whole chickens for $5 each at the end of the month for about the last week since November last year. I’d say it was an Xmas thing but they had them again in January so I’ll be keeping an eye out this month also
Ooh, I'll have to have a look, I do miss buying whole chickens.
@@OurSmallFootprint yes do. I feel that it’s something even if your mum grabbed them and stuck them in the freezer if your not down when they go on sale at that price. Totally worth it. We bought two for Xmas and had enough for three days of eating with the sides and such.
Great hamper. My aunt was an expert with her pressure cooker. She always worked so this pot allowed for hit meals in a reasonable amount of time
We had an electric one way back when and I loved the quick meals! I look forward to adding it to the rotation of meals, especially in winter, pot roasts and stews etc!
My mother had a stove top pressure cooker. She could put the best roast beef dinner on the table in no time flat. It all goes on at one time and comes out at one time. Sooo good! I also have one. It's so nice for the busy life and schedules .
I had an instant pot many many years back when we lived more metro and it was great when the kids were tiny and I could do things quick! I will definitely have to be a bit more mindful with using this one, but I think it will be well used!
Great hamper this month 👍👍👍👍 As always a pleasure to watch ❤❤ Love from the UK x 🎉🎉
Very good hamper
Nice hamper
So happy to see your videos! Looking forward to seeing your new project!!!
Always enjoy your videos.
The whole chickens is a great addition! Your pricing seems to be the same as ours lately for whole chickens. They used to be the cheapest way to get meat!
So cheap, I remember almost exclusively buying them! I dunno why they've gone up so much. The breasts and thighs have gone up as well, but they don't seem to have increased as much as the whole birds. But they have come down again, which will be good if it stays that way! :D
Another great hamper! That's so awesome you got a pressure cooker! Love being able to put a frozen chicken in it, has ssved me when I've forgotten to thaw any meat out!! Hope it works well for you!
I’m definitely going to try it this week! Would save me defrosting one in the fridge for a day etc!
Very good hamper this month.
Awesome haul appreciate you❤
Woah what great value for what you get.
I’m very grateful we have access to the service!
great meat hamper xx
Chicken wings at our Walmart run from $2-$5 per pound.
I just looked em up and they're running at $3.75 a kg at Coles atm, (2 x bags of 2kg for $15) which I think, if my mathing works, ends up being 1.11USD per lb. I have cooked them up previously, but I find there's a lot of wastage, though the leftovers make good stock! because my kids just don't strip the bones enough, whereas its good for the dogs teeth and means less bought food for them too :D
Here in the US, chicken wings are really expensive, especially now for Super Bowl, like $5 bucks per pound, and you feed them to the dogs. LOL.
Hehe, I find them really fiddly, there's just not much meat on them, and its really good for the dogs teeth to eat the raw wings! They do make great stock though as well :D - I just looked em up, can get them for $3.75 a kg here atm!
This month's hamper was amazing!!!!
It was a very high value one this month!
I’ve heard that Costco rotisserie chickens are super cheap…… next time I’m there I’m going to have a look. Just a thought but if they are then I will be buying a few and taking off the meat for wraps, currries, chicken pasta bakes etc and using the carcass for stock. You might have more idea than I have if they are cheap enough to do that with? I often buy whole chickens from Woolies when they are $4.50 per kg and butcher them up ( cheaper that $10 per kg for meat) and freeze the carcass for later use/ broth etc.
We bought a bunch I think trip before last, the $ per kg of meat was very good, I think I got a full kg of meat off each bird plus had the carcass! However, they’re very tasteless, pros and cons, but no seasoning on the skin or in the meat.
Since I’ve watching your videos I feel like I use my food better and only buy what I have plans for 👍
I'm so glad that you find watching them useful! I know I learn more every time I shop and learn more about how we eat and what we eat as a family seasonally just by being mindful, and I think that's all it is, mindfully shopping for food and deciding what is worth the extra time vs the extra cost etc! :D
You can pass some of the wings my way so I can make butter and garlic wings...yum! Also, as usual, I'm drooling over the watermelon. Few more months and it will be in season here. 💓💓💓🍉🍉
Hehe, we end up with what I feel is a lot of wastage with wings, because the kids just don't clean the bones well... but I may have to cook up a bag after all the input! :D
Nyssa, I always buy the whole chickens from Coles especially when they are that price! With a family of 7 I find these are a much cheaper protein option for dinner.
They were so much more expensive for a while there, I stopped buying them! But it looks like prices have dropped on them again, must have better supply once more :)
That's a fantastic Food Hamper, lots of meat and good fruit and veggies and snacks, you can make some coffee ice cream too with that instant coffee. Lots of good meals and even turkey lol 😂 how ironic ❤
Hehe, definitely a good one this month!
Wow! I think thats your best hamper! Im sure you all will enjoy it! Hows the jackery going?
I used it tonight for the air fryer heh. We’ll get some good use out of it when we put the new buildings up! The compressor for the nail gun etc
Those bags of chicken wings are at least 20 dollars here a bag. The turkey rolls probably 25-30 dollars each and the chickens about 15 dollars each. You got a good deal with that plus the other meat and all of the other items! I am on the east coast of Canada.
A lot of Canadian/American people have been commenting on the wings! I think because they aren't a specialty here they just aren't expensive, I worked it out and the equate to about $1.11usd/lb if I was to break down the cost of purchasing them at their current pricing at Coles!
I tend not to cook them for the kids because I find there's a lot of wastage, they just aren't likely to strip the bones and there's not a lot of meat, the leftovers make great stock though! But the dogs benefit from the raw bones too, really good for their teeth!
Hello Nyssa this hamper had lots of meat that will be very helpful! Great haul take care and stay safe! Oh I got 12 pounds of chicken thighs for $15 at aldi that was my good deal for the week.
Definitely a very useful hamper this month!
Woot! what a great deal!
That’s a lot of food for $50, that’s great👍🏻
A very generous hamper this month! :D. Super grateful
Good stuff
Hey Nyssa 🥰
Wow!!!! Great hamper!!! So much meat this time.
Heaps! very generous this month!
wow thats a lot of food
Super grateful for access to it!
Sounds like a fun time ahead Nyssa
A challenge but it will be so worth it!
So so worth it.
❤❤❤
You've probably eaten the pomelos already, but when I lived in Singapore, we would just peel them and share segments (much like oranges/mandarines), but the segments are huge. Very much tastes like a sweeter grapefruit, not quite as bitter. Although yours are green so I'm not sure.
The kids just cut one up like an orange and shared it! I haven’t tried yet but we’ve got quite a few!
Very nice selection of
Hello Nyssa.
I always like the community 📦 hamper. Lovely bananas and pomelos, yummy😊
Managed to complete the note before any interruptions 👍
Good video-keep cool.
Hehe, it was a very generous hamper this month!
❤
Hey Nyssa , you should try one of those Fibre one brownie bars. They're cake and they're well nice 🙂👍 . You got a lot of meat in this hamper. That's great. I hope you're good 🐈⬛🖤
I'll give one a go if the kids haven't already gotten to them :D
@@OurSmallFootprint Good luck with that. If they're anything like mine were they'll already be gone haha
I have now made your lasagne soup recipe 3 times Nyssa, I haven't been well for a while and it's helped me a lot so thank you for that 🙂. I'm about to attempt a Sourdough starter again, wish me luck haha 🤞
@@punkyfish1977 I so look forward to cooler weather for soups! They’re so comforting! I hope things improve for you soon! Good luck with the starter!
Thanks
Thank you! :D
Wow! 3.50/k asd is an amazing price for a whole chicken! I just love whole chickens!
I just checked, because I'm sure they were more expensive which is why I stopped buying them, so apparenlty they were $5.50/kg in December, and are now $4.50/kg at Coles (though they must have been on special at the $3.50 which was why I was so tempted last month!). Hopefully they have specials like that regularly again.
Oh, and at Woolworths, they are still $5.50/kg and $7-7.50/kg, so that definitely seems like they went up!
The pressure cooker you will find so useful.
I think so too! :D
Ezogelin is a Turkish soup
Thank you!, I haven't looked it up yet, I keep on forgetting, it got tucked in with the other spice packets etc I get hehe :D. I'm sure I'll use them all one day!
It always amazes me how much you get for such a great price. Meat just seems so expensive these days.
It’s a wonderful service we’re able to access, very grateful for it!
Sounds like thanksgiving - turkey with turkey gravy, sausage and cornbread stuffing, sweet potato casserole, veg of choice and apple pie with ice cream!
I really need to make some more ice cream now we’ve chased off the goanna and have eggs again heh!

Great value..well past $50 worth..
Definitely, very grateful to have access to it!
would Aldi fresh chickens be any good for you? they’re very meaty… Between six and seven dollars usually 😊
I don’t think I’ve checked tbh! Because I do Aldi/coles the day before I go home I don’t normally buy much cold stuff from there, it just means carting it up the stairs to mums fridge for the night and then back down to the esky’s the next day! But I’ll have to check them out next trip :)
You give your chicken wings to your dogs?! 🤕 Here in the American South, the WINGS are the best part!!! Put some Nando's Peri-Peri sauce on, and bake at 425-F. Mmm....best snack ever for sports events ⚽️🏈🏀
A lot of people have been saying that! :D. I wonder if the wings are slightly different too, like these have the tips attached, there's not a lot to eat on them, I find there ends up being a fair bit of wastage because my kids just aren't that into stripping the bones! The leftovers make great stock though! But the dogs need some raw bones for their teeth and they love wings, they just chomp through them as a treat. From what people are saying they're a lot cheaper cut here than there, probably because they aren't as popular, I worked out that at the moment they're about the equivalent of $1.11usd/lb.
@@OurSmallFootprint Yes, chicken wings, the small drumsticks, and beef brisket have gone up dramatically in the past few years because people love cooking them so much for sports events and family get togethers. Lamb, too, but mostly because half of it is imported from NZ.
Hey Nyssa have u ever thought about growing out some meat chickens we have just done some here in Mackay and they were huge at 8 weeks just a thought!
For the moment, I think we're just going to stick with hatching and culling our excess hens/roosters. I think it works well to do that and do smaller batches 2/3 times a year than to do a run of meat chickens, there is a place I know that is only an hourish away that does sell them though, so they are an option!
I would love to send y'all a box of American treats to try. Do you know if I would be able to send those type things internationally?
Hrmm, I don't see why not, I order some American/other nationality foods via Amazon US if I can't get them here!
I regularly do care package swaps with family in The States. You cannot send meats, fresh produce or honey and honey products.
