Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Join us for a huge Costco haul in Anchorage Alaska! We also shop at Lowes and a local grocery store after our Costco haul.
We show many new items and prices at Costco in Anchorage.
Living off grid in remote Alaska means making our trips count.
We hit 3 stores in one day and fill up my van with supplies.
Thank you for joining us on our adventures!
Join me on my other NEW channel! ❤

Great Alaska scenery and good video!!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
You should have went to Anchorage lowes and the grocery store in Anchorage as there isn't any sells tax in Anchorage
Ah ha! I did not know that! Thank you for sharing...any amount of savings is great on the pocketbook with our family of 6!
@@Alaskan6pack my Alaska that’s bill he has a great channel
I am new viewer to your channel and your new channel.I have a question for you how do you keep your frozen and perishables cold when you do your shopping since you go to different stores at the same time
Welcome and thank you Susan!! To be honest it's so cold here we don't have to worry much. It has been freezing in the mornings. Sometimes we will cover our groceries with a blanket between pit stops. Good question. We used to live in Oregon and I would bring ice chests for shopping trips in that state...too hot even in the mornings.
Different environments... hopefully that makes sense,!
i should have said the bakery section the first time i`m sorry
No worries, we looked but no go!! ... Bummer we will check the Costco business center when we go there!
Lily is a great helper! She has the right attitude. I'm subscriber #24 on your other channel. Beautiful scenery. I'm glad it's not that cold yet here in Minnesota, not ready for winter but you have to prepare alot before it comes. Not an easy task but teamwork is necessary in your case. Have a great weekend!!
Oh yeah thank you Sue!!! Yes Lily is great. She doesn't want me lifting heavy things either...very cute.
Great video!! It’s always fun to see the scenery, it’s gorgeous!!
Oh thank you. Lily and I always have fun. Sometimes we are filming and we get the giggles... it's always fun though!
Your daughter is good help. Costco has a lot of great buys we don’t have one here. The closest is in Colorado Springs I live in 70 miles away. My vehicle wouldn’t make that drive. We live in Colorado. Have a blessed day.
Oh thank you! Yes she is prescious.
She doesn't like me lifting too much weight so she will insist she does it.
Yes Costco is great. My white van is old and trust me it's hard on it to drive to Anchorage! It has almost 300K miles on it.... thanks for watching 😊
Hi guys, great haul. Prayers you're having a great week. Be blessed.
Oh thank you Carol...
You are nice. Lily and I have lots of fun together too. Sometimes we are trying to film and we start getting the giggles together. It's a good time

I'm gonna send Lilly something.
Egg nog! We were in Walmart the other day and they had none. My son wants a sectional in his room i stead of a bed.😮 Wow! That’s a lot of snowblowers. Even in NY the stores’ inventory wasn’t close to that amount. Mother nature is trying to tell you something. A contractor we know uses those buckets from buying paint and we’ll grab some from him if needed. My wife loves Ryobi so for Christmas I’ll see what new attachments are out there. Did I see 30.00 for a flannel shirt? Pet food isn’t cheap. We have cats. Thanks for taking us. The hurricane hit the Big Bend and Panhandle. We were safe on the east coast. Just some tornado watches and a warning. Nothing happened. What’s your new channel? Till next time Sarah.😊
Hey there! New shopping channel
@ShoppinginAlaska
We love Ryobi too. We have lots of small portable fans. The batteries charge up fast and last a long time. Yep flannel shirts expensive at that store. Hope you guys stay safe ..some crazy weather out there.... Have another homestead video coming out today later
Woke up to freezing temps this morning
Your daughter is a great helper. I’m subscribed to your other channel. Have a great weekend.
Yeah!!! Yes she is. She doesn't like me to help her most of the time, she is very independent!
Thanks for watching
Great video ladies. ❤. Lilly such a great helper and such a beautiful soul!! ❤. I did not know you had another channel. Will check it out. Hope all is well.
Well thank you. We do have fun. She is funny ..she doesn't want me to pick up the heavy items ..so she does. So sweet.
Thanks for watching us. Yes, my other channel should be fun. I love shopping so I figured why not do a channel on it...fun times
Hi Sarah, I enjoy your hauls. Subscribed to the new one 😊
Yeah Debbie!!! Thank you... We will have another homestead video out hopefully tomorrow
I thought you had a second channel but it’s in the same channel I thought it was a different channel winter is coming in Alaska bye bye summer I will be sharing this on my Facebook page publicly have a great weekend homestead living Alaska here from Ontario Canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦😎
We here in Ontario Canada probably won’t get snow until January but I will definitely let you know when we get snow
Mike, you are so supportive to our family.
Thank you for the extra steps you take for us.
We should hopefully have another homestead video out tomorrow too! Been a busy week here
You take care and thank you!!!!
@@Alaskan6pack I will always support your other channel too you are most welcome I love supporting great people ❤️❤️❤️❤️you are my family on UA-cam well I move into my new house in one week it’s huge in ground pool it’s beautiful and it looks out to Lake Ontario more room three bedrooms three bedrooms the house is only six years old all the appliances come with the house everything is brand new.

@@Alaskan6pack sometimes I wish I was from United States because you get to live in a beautiful country called Alaska all year round I have seen some videos on Anchorage Alaska don’t really like it there but I love it Here in willow Alaska totally different part of Alaska I sometimes wish I was younger like 30 years younger but I had a great Business to run
Good video!
Thank you bud!!
Hey....great video. I have just started my list for winter stock up, would like to get it done later in October. Thanks for sharing....🇨🇦🌷
Thanks for watching. I bet yours will be a long list! Do you guys have a channel?
@@Alaskan6pack no I don’t I would be terrible in front of a camera. Hahaha I started a blog on our new homestead we bought. I hope we can sell this place soon so we can move over there.
Oh cool, let me know your blog info when you want. Your life sounds interesting!!!
😊❤❤❤😊😊🎉
Thank you!!!! 👍
Thanks! This helps, so much! We’re headed up next week.
Yeah! Glad it could help
I am looking forward to shopping at the Anchorage business center soon!
@@Alaskan6pack I hope you’ll film that, too. We haven’t been, yet.
They have a large selection of drinks at the Costco Business Center. Waterloo too. Great vlog today!
Hoping to hit that store before the snow hits!!!
Stay tuned. It may be on my new shopping channel. Thanks for watching!
@@Alaskan6pack followed your new shopping channel! keep up the good work! 🙂
Yeah! That will be a fun channel. I already have some good ideas for next year. Thanks for watching us!
I thought if you were off grid you don't have electricity.
Background Music is so cool
Oh thank you so much! It's music from Epidemic Sound.
It's a subscription but they have wonderful music for videos....😊
Love it.
Alaska is certainly beautiful. Question, what does Harley like? Lily, what do you need for your parakeet to keep her cozy thru the winter. Hocking family what's on your wish list for Cristmas? I'm thinking Xmas flags!!!haha. Great video.
Harley likes bananas! Lily would love a cuddle hut for Coolant I am sure. Wish list for Christmas...hmmm..... I will think about that. Wool clothes are great and we still need to purchase winter gear too .
Thanks for watching us!
You should watch the nomadic movement who were saying that there's no organic coffee. It's false advertisement
Oh I will definitely do that. Thank you so much for the tip!! We try to eat non toxic and pesticide free as much as possible!
It's so sad that's hard to do these days..
Thanks again
I don't get why don't you buy more so less trips in?? I'm mom of 8 they are grown now but I shopped only 1x a month n sometimes went even longer it just hubby n I now n I still go shopping every 2 2.5 months but freezer alway kept full with meat
Wow a mom of 8, that's awesome...! Next trip will be more. This trip we just couldn't afford more. Self employed so income fluctuates... that's just how it goes
It's kinda funny when I was kid we had drive 4 hours one to get a month worth of food and there was no Costco or Sam's club or Walmart, we had a pick and pay and just regular food store very cool that thing are different now and I grew up in Montana not Alaska lol
Oh Montana, that's a beautiful state...
Aussie bites are in the regular bread aisle, where the dried fruit and stuff is too. Seems like most prices are comparable to my costco in Indiana. There are things here and there that are a few bucks more. Like our heavy cream is like a dollar less, the tortillas are same price
Ok cool I will look there next time! Thanks for the tip. Wow, comparable to Indiana surprises me. Well I guess shopping at Costco overall does save money though.! Thanks for sharing!
Loved this shopping trip 👏👏👏👏
Oh thank you!! We had fun. I am loving my new shop vac. So nice. After the excavator came in, it's been mud city around here. Once that dries it turns to dust and dirt in the cabin.
Hoping for another video out tomorrow, more on winter prep around here. Thank you!!!
@@Alaskan6pack should be in there now ❤️
@@Alaskan6pack in your PayPal account 🤦♀️I thought I sent this message 🤪
Oh wow thank you!!! That really helps us!! Thank you!! 👍
@@Alaskan6pack you and the family deserve it 🤗just glad I could help
Aussie bites is not on the bakery section. Probably with the bread area
Ok I will check next time....thank you!
Should have picked up a spare paper filter for the shop vac.
Ha. So very true... I will grab one next time I am in town. I am almost looking forward to the snow because it's cleaner than this dirt! Lol
Just a tip, I always get the bulky items last🤔
That's probably the right order to get stuff, especially when we have a couple of carts going...
I will do that next time. Great tip and thank you!
Thank you for watching us too!
Nice video, for the winter have you considered getting like a 50lb or 100lb bag of flour and a huge bag of pure cane sugar (I know not organic but pure cane is close). That would help because of logistics on getting bulky product to the cabin. You might be able to get white food buckets at bakeries (Walmart, Costco, Sam's or even 3bears) for storage.
Yes good idea. Do you have any thoughts on the best way to store lots of flour? I honestly just don't know. Any good ideas just let me know.
Yes, bulk storage. I can look at Azure products too.
@@Alaskan6pack I think flour will last a year if in dry sealed containers. Food grade five gallon pails.
You could also do rice and beans in bulk. Oatmeal too.
Yes. We have lots of rice. Need more flour though
The Aussie bites are never in the bakery. They are usually on an end cap like over by the bread section.
Oh ok! I will look next time...thanks for the tip. 😊👍
@@Alaskan6pack I have found a lot of employees will shoot an answer but they don’t really know unless they have a computer in front of them looking the actual item up.
The ausie bites are up near the snacks.
Ok awesome, I will look around there next time...!
coscto is not always the cheapest.
Yes you are correct. Up here in Alaska though it's a pretty good place with great prices
When we used to live in Oregon I would go to Trader Joes and WinCo...but they don't have those stores here. Only Walmart, Costco, Fred Meyer, Carrs, 3 Bears...
For Lilly
Oh thank you!!! I will let you know what she spends it on!...
@@Alaskan6pack do get all that money that people send the kids
Our viewers are so generous and nice. We usually put the money towards things we need
If money is meant for one specific person then of course they get it... It's always appreciated and used wisely
@@Alaskan6pack does it go right into your bank account
Just curious
