    Hey everyone!
    Everyone likes to watch these 'shop with me' videos, even though I kinda suck at them lol.
    So enjoy while I get the actual grocery haul edited!
    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 :)

    Hi Nyssa, another great video and I am blown away once again by everything you do. Do you know what a remarkable woman you are . I really admire your strength and energy and the way you take care of your
    family . I am 70 years old now and in poor health but even when I was young and healthy I could not have kept up with you. You are really something else. Please take care of yourself and do not overdo it. ❤💙💛💚

    Wow an early video. I had to think what day it was. Sounds like most things are ticked of your list for the kids. Great that things were put away on lay by for next month. Making a Coles shop to your mums while your there - what a game changer. Had a giggle at the produce sampling by a few of the unpacking helpers. Couldn’t not see the growth in the kids. Yeah the cost of storage bins has definitely gone up. I did, hopefully, the last on line order for Xmas bits and pieces. I have a lot of papers to go through and shred or recycle. I am hoping I can gain a few bins from getting rid of papers rather than buy anymore. I have got some bins in the Reject shop not in the bin section but in the kitchen area. I use them to store medicines and bathroom items in them.

    • @OurSmallFootprint
      @OurSmallFootprint  8 месяцев назад +2

      I've got to sit down and check my lists, but I think nearly everything is sorted for Christmas, just have to see what we go through in the first half of the month food wise that we might need, I always make seafood salad and I did forget the frozen 'seafood mix' so need to make sure to get that!
      Lol, Those cherry tomatoes were half eaten before they even made it inside, and quite a few apples got eaten too! :D
      I have been thinking about what I want for bathroom stuff etc, we put some shelves in the bathrooms and I want some bins for all the soap and toothpaste, deoderant etc! I only keep a few extra of each, but the kids always mess them up when I just have them lined up lol.
