You are awesome! Thanks so much. My husband has been unemployed for a couple of months. He was IT contracting to support our family of 8! He has just landed a permanent job (less money but regular pay). Your video is a goldmine for us. I have watched quite a few of yours. Thankyou so much for taking the time to make it!
Oh thanks so much - that gives me warm fuzzies lol. I know what it's like so be without the main wage so yeah been there and know how hard it is ... glad to be of help!
My daughter use to work at a chicken egg farm. Little tip she learnt to get the chickens laying was mix a little bit of chilli flakes to their pellets 😊
Oh yeah I've heard that - I think it helps to keep mites away too. Although heading into winter now so will probably give up on them until it starts getting warmer again and up their protein - might try the chilli trick too!
I just came across your channel and have to say I'm so glad I did. Your videos are just excellent!! Super informative, inspiring and a pleasure to watch :) Thank you for sharing.
Just yesterday I had failed yoghurt (different method than yours) which I started to tip out before noticing it was still a little bit thick. So I decided to keep it to make scrolls - that was before I watched this video! I always enjoy your videos. Thanks!
Gosh, you're inspiring! We try so hard to keep on budget and slowly finding more things to save on but still don't know how to make a lot of stuff and don't always have the time. Definitely going to try make more stuff this year. Thank you from a fellow kiwi ❤
Thanks for the comment ... I certainly haven't always been able to make all this myself but slowly finding more and more things I can make myself and save money on, it all adds up! 👍
Amazing! What a fantastic video- such awesome examples😊Chicken memorandum 😅😅😅hope the girls start laying! Sarah- do you have a video for your lasagne sheets, I would love to try that...but I don't have a pasta machine. Doable?Thanks so much this marathon video is FANTASTIC!
Thanks so much! I have a video on making pasta (both with and without egg), I'll paste the link here, the recipe is exactly the same just rolled into sheets instead of spaghetti ... you could do it without a pasta roller as long as you're happy to get busy with a rolling pin 😀 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c4j90Yu4sMg.html
@@allynz27 it's hard to say ... a few years ago I did this video which detailed the price comparison of baking vs store-bought, but suspect these days it'd be even more! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LGUoP4VIfao.html
@@CheaperWaysNZ I will watch, thanks for sharing. My husband and I have been binge watching your videos and we are going to try the crumpet recipe tomorrow. We love crumpets but buying 2 packs of 6 for $6 and more is getting a little pricy so hoping we can save some money. Also going to try your bread and rolls recipe so we are excited. We really need to get our grocery budget down
I've got links to all the recipes mentioned in the video description, but here's the bread one (it's super easy!) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d9hmVd0TJ0k.html
haha yep a trick I learned from my mother-in-law! I'm experimenting with different types of fruit wine - I make feijoa quite often and have some plum on the go too 😀
Hi Sarah 😊 thank you so much for this ans all the recipes its extremely helpful.. i just wanted to ask what things do your children eat as snacks etc? I have 3 Children and i find buying snack type food is just so expensive. I do bake but i think they are getting a bit sick of that stuff🥴🤣🤦.. thank you 😊
Thanks for the feedback and good question! The kids generally snack on home baking or fruit, sometimes they make their own smoothies with fruit & yoghurt etc, I've got a couple of different cracker recipes they like too or sometimes they make popcorn. I've also got videos on "microwave pizza" they can make themselves that's a quick filling snack or lunch option :) This video might be of some inspiration - a school holiday snack guide :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FZw9nF92Ca8.html
@@CheaperWaysNZ Thank you so much ☺️ we just seem to buy so many pre made things, I don't mind chippies and crackers but there's just so much stuff we kind of fall in to buying and it all adds up very very quickly. The kids love donuts but they aren't cheap, by the time each child has one they are pretty much gone 😬...I think I need to look into a baked donut recipe lol🤣..maybe I need to be a wee bit more tuffer with the pre packed stuff cos to be completely honest it's all just absolute rubbish.
@@BobBob-bx3vi it's so hard when they're used to it, and they see other kids having it! I've never tried making donuts myself but I have a recipe for Samoan Panikekes which are kind of donut-like that could be something different too!
Wow that's good buying I have a budget of around $60 a week but when I end up buying the basics milk bread butter coffee just for the basics in near on $40 I used to buy mince I used to cook alot but now I will buy the odd pack of sausages because they go further I'm just buying for myself but I eat porridge cereal and crumpets and beans are there any other tips or advice you could give Sarah as what's cheap and more healthier to eat I'm just feeding myself but I'm stuck for ideas I now have come to realise pak n save is not that much cheaper then woolworths
It depends a lot on your area, Woolworths are pretty much all priced the same but Pak'n Saves can vary a lot store-to-store! Always worth checking out butchers (sometimes cheaper sometimes not), Bin Inn or Indian Grocers and also fruit & veges from local markets, they sometimes have things cheaper than the main supermarket chains
It was straight away for me, but that was a few years ago and I've heard people are on a lengthy waiting list now (someone told me they'd been waiting over a year to get in!)
I make plum jam every year with little cherry plums which aren't that good for eating, also blackberry jam and I sometimes bottle apples ... never had much luck bottling my stone fruit so I usually just freeze it for baking etc. I've made jam with blackboy peaches as well but wasn't as keen on it (although the kids ate it so can't have been that bad lol). I also experiment with making fruit wine if I have enough of it 🙂
No problem 🙂 ... if you Google Countdown Bunch Club it should come up, although there's a bit of a waiting list to join now I think - basically when you join they give you the odd freebie that you have to go and pick up in exchange for reviews on the products.
@@CheaperWaysNZ Thank you. Its good I found your channel. I have been customer of Countdown and now Woolworths for many years but did not know about this. Cheers!
