    Can't wait to watch what next year brings for you and your family! Merry Christmas Nyssa!!

    Wow! I learned so much from this video. I kept googling things because I had never heard of them. We have lifesavers but never heard of fruit tingles. Pavlova was new. And, I couldn't find anything about li cheese? (spelling). I adore cashews, hazelnuts and pistachios. Too expensive anymore to buy but in the last 3 months at the food pantry I have received 6 one pound bags of pistachios and 3 two pound bags of hazelnuts.

But I live in the US in a valley where a lot of food is grown. I am hearing your prices....and I am in awe. Thank you for sharing. I love learning how others live across the globe

I am still amazed that you loaded all those food items. Now I have some ideas. Glad you got a pork belly. I love watching your process making bacon. I believe your smoker broke. I will stay tuned to see how you do it. Merry Christmas. Always OK in my mind to get extras. I love you and Darryl get each other little things for each other and for yourselves.

    Big haul. Please let me know how what you think of the laundry liquid washing ability. I have heard reviews that weren't great but would like to buy if OK in the future. The fruit - always impressed. We have a new f&v store open up. Only found it after I'd already shopped. Prices looked good. Hopefully the pricing continues and it's not just opening up prices for short time. Bummer forgetting the beef trim. The new freezer will be full before you know it lol.

    This was an eye opener for me. I live in the U.S. and also have 8 children. My 3 eldest are adults, but I was comparing what I use to spend on groceries. Wow! It is so much more in Australia. And yet it is clear you make a lot from scratch. Also it seems you have some dietary constraints as well. Well done!

    • @OurSmallFootprint
      @OurSmallFootprint  11 месяцев назад

      Food is definitely costly here, though some things when you convert lbs to kg isn't too bad, though we don't seem to have the kind of specials that you guys do, when things are on special its packaged stuff, the meats and stuff don't get discounted much!

Made Tiramisu last year after watching this, think might do it again this year, adding less Amaretto, was a bit too boozy last year for everyone.

    QLD has hard water and front loaders need more borax here. Hard water prevents laundry detergent from working as it should leaving your clothes gray and dingy. Since borax contains sodium4, adding one-half cup per load helps to soften the wash water. Works wonders. Borax is a natural chemical so is safe.

    • @OurSmallFootprint
      @OurSmallFootprint  11 месяцев назад +1

I don't bake or make yummy desserts, I just do basics. However my 20 year old and 12 year old love making desserts, so I let them at it and then I cry at the state of my kitchen afterwards.
      Plus Mum and other family peeps do bake/make naughty goodness so I provide them with the orders to make things.

      Peaches are so tasty!
      Sausage rolls! that's what I use it a lot for, or quick apple turnovers, sometimes the top of pies and I do my own shortcrust for the bases, little danishes, or even little pizza scrolls, it has so many uses, I love to have some in the freezer to use whenever I think about it!

    Wow, your ginger is so cheap ours here in NE Vic is around $27.99kg, as I'm disabled I only do big shops about 3 times per year but this year I have been so worried as our power keeps going off for days at a time. I freeze meat, cheeses, bread crumbs, frozen veggies etc and I get so stressed when it happens so much

      It's so hard when you rely on the freezer for long term storage :S. I try super hard to get as much on the shelf as I can, but freezing is so convenient!
      I try and grab ginger whenever it is on special, I have a decent stash, but when I'm brewing ginger beer, I can go through it fairly quickly!

    Everytime I watch one of these its interesting. After adjusting for exchange rate, I am surprised what is markedly more expensive or markedly cheaper. Taking account, of course, climate and that we don't grow a pineapple within a half a continent of anywhere I live! In the US, chicken breast is the more expensive and comparable in price. Chx thighs... A fourth the cost here? Random, but interesting!

      Thighs used to be cheaper here and then they became ‘trendy’ with all the keto etc. it’s frustrating lol!
      Fruit is readily avail at this time of year it’s wonderful! And being in Queensland most of the year there’s a fruit of some kind that’s cost efficient because it’s warm most of the year in a lot of the state!

    I had a squirrel moment watching this - would your climate be good for planting a cherry tree? I know you’re in qld but being inland you get the cold temps needed for cherries. Do you reckon worth a try?

    I get so confused whenever you talk about cordial, so I looked it up. It's not something that is common here in the USA.
