The large peanut butter is also $7.99 in St.Louis, Missouri. It definitely pays off to bake your own treats in Alaska, but I understand that doesn't work in your situation. I have no doubt you'll be able to save quite a bit of money when you settle into one place. Stability is a very good thing. I couldn't live the way you do, not knowing where you'll be all the time. I'd never feel secure. But I thoroughly love watching your channel!
@danamissouri my brother told me that a 12 can of Dr Pepper in Virginia is a dollar more than it is here, but he also said 90% of the time it's on sale in the grocery store for half price which makes it cheaper then here haha I guess some things are going to be similar to the lower States and some things are going to be more..... I actually bought a air fryer toaster oven hamburgers to brownies, it's much easier to clean than the kitchen and actually if I want to scramble eggs I just use the hot plate. But since the air fryer is not huge sometimes I have to cook my main dish and then when I'm eating that I cook my side dish haha...... believe it or not I've never moved around this much my whole life in such short periods of time. I'm used to moving but I'm not used to having a new place every 6 months, and I wouldn't say I enjoy it but in a way it's kind of interesting, but at the same time I probably prefer not to do this for the next 2 years or 5 years. I think it's going to take quite a while to find something I can get for myself that I can afford but I definitely will try to find a place I can stay in year-round until then. Fernando I just try my best to enjoy moving around because I know it won't last forever 🙂 also even though I've only been here now for about 6 months I'm starting to learn how it works for example the more people you get to know little by little the less you have to worry about where you're going to live in 6 months. For example if I can't stay in the lodge through the winter, which I don't expect I will be able to, I've already made arrangements with the lady who I rented the summer cabin from that I can move right into that this summer, and I'm meeting a few more people every week or two and they give me names of people who rent stuff so I have quite a few options I still have to look into before May 1st rolls around. But in short the longer that I'm here the more secure I feel that I am in having a place to rent 5 months later. People who rent to you really want you to come back to them because they've already dealt with you and they know you don't cause problems for them.
I was considering a bread and water diet until i saw the price on that loaf of bread. I guess if you wanted to splurge on a fancy date, the texas toast might make sense.
@OldSchoolAlaska haha I think I'm really really lucky that I'm not familiar with the prices for food in the lower states. Every time I think something is a good deal, someone I know from Virginia or New Jersey tell me the price of what it caused by them. I always enjoy buying the cheaper bread here because I always felt like I was getting a good deal lol I guess I still am compared to the rest of the prices.
@WonderlandAlps haha I don't even mind about the high prices because honestly I can accept they charge much more because it's remote, but really because as long as they still offer cheaper products then I have nothing to complain about. If I had to pay $5 for a loaf of bread and I didn't have any option to pay $2.89 for a loaf of bread, then I wouldn't like it. But I've been here now long enough I know exactly where to go to get the cheaper things and it's not that hard to stay under your budget even if it's not high.
@dudeistpriest2496 lol I try to use other people's wallets but then I have to deal with the police and then there's bribing involved and then there's a few free donuts demanded on the side and it just becomes more expensive than using my own wallet 😇
I'm thinking it would pay off for a Costco or Sams membership. Sams is around $60 a year. Buy cheaper and the food will last a lot longer due to the size of items.
@SirTrollerDerby what I did was when I was in Fairbanks in September I check what I needed to buy and compared prices from Amazon to Walmart, and most of the things I could get for almost the same price in Fairbanks with the exception of just four or five items, so I bought like $500 worth of groceries when I was in Walmart for the winter( which would have cost about roughly $800 here)... I've spent more time looking at Amazon and next winter I can probably buy 15% or 20% of the foods on Amazon and the rest at Walmart in Fairbanks.
@danamissouri if you look at how I replied to Sir trolley, I can add to that next summer when I'm in Fairbanks I'll compare the Costco cost to Walmart prices. I don't believe I will be able to buy enough at Costco to make it worth it, because most of the stuff I can't keep fresh for a long time like bread and stuff like that. But I'll know more next summer 🙂
Why such a huge disparity in prices? For example the hot chocolate and the coffee? At what stage are prices raised and why? Do you know? Maybe that’s a video in itself though it might be a research project for you.
@dawnjohnson8739 none of it makes sense to me and I even asked the guy working there one time why is this loaf of bread five dollars more than that loaf of bread when it's from the same company and the only differences when is white bread and I think the other one was 50% white bread and 50% wheat bread. Weeds don't make bread prices go up by $5 lol they don't even know why..... even before I got here I heard that things that are heavier are going to cost more but that's not true, there's some things that are very heavy that are very cheap... the best guess I am after looking around in the grocery stores is that the larger an item is, bad item is typically overpriced. I'm guessing because it just takes up more space in the delivery trucks.... I don't think there's a lot of logic to the prices that normal consumers can ever find out, baby the things that sell better and are obviously in more demand are marked higher than normal by the corporate offices, maybe that's where they make their money. Is there certainly not making their money selling a loaf of bread for $2.89 which is what I always buy because it's the cheapest.

And I always thought that they would only rip us off with exorbitant prices here in Austria. 😶🌫

Cheerios $10?! That’s obscene! That crap probably costs .20 cents with the box being .50 cents.
@dawnjohnson8739 lol good thing I never liked Cheerios haha
Those prices make my wallet hurt... LOL

How are product transported to AK? What method of transportation?
@@dawnjohnson8739 mostly on ships.
Can you save any money on groceries by ordering them through Amazon?
