I glad you managed to get so much of your shopping done and sent home, and Bonnie's bed is absolutely gorgeous it must be a relief to you both to have a big store of supplies in. I do hope someone has looked after your veg garden for you while you were away. I can't wait to see you all enjoying a bike ride. It was lovely to see so much of Bonnie, and hear her beautiful giggles. Sending love and best wishes to you all 💞
Your daughter will have the best of two worlds living an island life and time spent in the more populated city. The key to success is as you have said relationships helping one another. I love your channel and someday hope to visit Alaska
You guys stay busy, but it doesn’t look like it stresses you out. It’s great motivation for your viewers. Welcome back! I’m glad you had a great vacation with friends and family. What a beautiful array of house plants you have.
you guys are very nice to go shopping for others. i shop for 4 houses every 4 months....it's a BIG haul....nothing like your shopping for a full year...but it's a lot of work!! bless your family for your kindness!!
I am so impressed with how prepared you are! I work hard to shop once a month with a meal plan and household stock up list. Doing it once a year is so hard! Great video!
Your daughter is so adorable. I love watching these grocery hauls. We just bought a cabin in the mountains and the closet Costco/target etc is over 120 miles away. It’s going to be a huge change and I’m going to have to learn how to shop differently. Would love to see how you go about planning for the year!
You are the second person who has asked that. I am afraid it would not be a very good video. My family has been shopping this way as long as I can remember. So its a lot of going off of instinct. I will think more about it though!
I saw your dryer sheet and had an idea. If you still get baby wipes you can get the plastic wipe container and put dryer sheets in it. Keeps them fresh longer...💜
We never really had those plastic containers, but I think someone gave us something in one. I will have to see if we still have any and try it out :) thanks for the idea.
I am enjoying you videos and your family life. Very different from my life as a young mother. We live in Toronto , Ontario. I am now retired and love watching young family’s. Sending hugs and love….keep up the great work!💕
Sounds like you have a really great neighborhood friendship 🥰 I love how community comes together, from shopping for each other to helping getting the package home 🥰 Thank you for sharing and very interesting! You are a beautiful family 😊 Love from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴 (yes I read that Norway was on your bucket list for traveling and some parts are more like rual Alaska, and have more dark winters and light summer, and others are more "regular" places. Anyhow I think you will enjoy the nature here, we have a lot of beautiful nature, just like Alaska 🥰)
People in Kake are so good at helping each other out, its so wonderful. It seems like Norway would be very similar to Alaska. We love to learn about other cultures.
Wow so much work for groceries! Guess I shouldn’t complain about having to go so far for mine 16 miles. Also, Bonnie is a little cutie, hope she enjoys her new bed
I'm working on getting to the point of once a year shopping. I need to get a little better about figuring out how much I use with lots of stuff so that I can do that. Y'all did amazing!!
I loved seeing all your adventures this summer with family in Seattle and your travels back home to Alaska. It was definitely interesting to see how things get from the lower 48 all the way to Alaska and then to your home in Kake. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Lewis fam-welcome home. I was shocked to see all the food and supplies you have in your house. But that means less grocery store visits, which I loathe. I order most of mine on the store app and then do store pick up. What does Bonnie think about being home now? Love Bonnie cam at the end. Take care, hope to see more soon.
Always fun watching how things work regarding all of your groceries, etc. Knowing the work and cost involved is interesting. And, thanks for showing us where/how you store everything. You are fortunate to be in a large home. I'm sure it's hard to remember what you all have at home and what you all need especially when you need to buy so far in advance.
Looks like y'all are pretty much stocked for a year. How often do you go shop for fresh fruits, vegetables & dairy? Also where do you go get it? Your daughter has grown so much! She's adorable! Do you live in your child home? 5K really isn't bad considering all you & your husband bought & had shipped. It's nice that you help out your friends/family & visa versa. You help out each other and that's great! Thank you for sharing you life. I find it very interesting and it goes to just how spoiled I am having access to the grocery store and other stores whenever I need to go. Much respect! You & your husband make a great team! Stay safe! 🙏🏻
We get fresh food. Once a month usually or every month in a half. We have the fresh stuff sent on the plane from Juneau. We do live in Chelseas childhood home ❤️
I have to say I applude you guys cos that's amazing for a years full of shopping for 3 of you, yes I know that you haven't got fresh goods but you got boxes, a bed, bikes etc amgost your food shopping YES guys some of you may say wow that's alot but remember this family shopping for a year and they have to pay to ship it home so it's not easy for these guys so bear that mind everyone!! I do so enjoy your shopping hauls, I go Costco here in the UK and we don't have as many nice goodies as you guys 😩, I wish we did Lisa UK xxxx 👏👏
Very interesting. You do a good job of storing and organizing. I was laughing to myself though because I have 3 teenagers and what you bought for a year would last us a month. :-D
U are so pretty.. OMG ur daughter is a cutie pie and very smart. I love the way u and ur husband shop. I'm a new subscriber looking forward to doing some binge watching😊 to catch up!
You guys have some awesome friends. I enjoyed you taking us through your pantries. Letting us be nosy 👀. Bonnie's bed is super cute. $5k average out isn't bad, especially since things just cost more now.
A few years back I bought a cupboard from IKEA. It was missing a part, they said I could only get a replacement part if I returned to store. That was 120miles away, can you imagine if that happened to you!!
Have you guys ever thought of getting buckets instead of those bags? Then you can get those screw tops to put all your perishables in there like flour and stuff not perishables but you know what I meant
I’m soo jealous!!! I don’t know how Bethel continued to survive long enough for me to end up here. It’s sooo expensive and inaccessible . So few options. You guys are blesses. I hope something happens in my future so I can end up somewhere where I can do what you guys do .
I live in Denver where I can go to the store any time and my house looks packed the same as yours. I also have the same size family so I’m shocked at myself but I buy in bulk to save money.
Could you walk us through how you determine what you pick out (and quantity) when you do your dry grocery haul? I’m curious to see how this is done as I’m soon going to be living the farm life, and going into town for “more spaghetti” will not be as easy of a trip as it is now
I am not sure I am organized enough to explain it lol. I have watched my parents do it my whole life and kind of just go from what I know. Ill think about it some more though. That is very exciting. If we did not live in Alaska, we would probably live on a little farm :)
Wow a lot of work but so worth it in the end. Just found your channel. May I ask where you get your face masks? We did a cruise and Juneau was one of our ports. When we were younger we had really contemplated moving to Alaska but now we’re heading middle to almost 80 for the hubby so we’ll just enjoy other’s life experiences so I subbed your channel see you next time!
Hey guys glad to see you made it back home safely 💞 Bonnie is getting so big so cute adorable love the hair I have red hair too 😁 just wondering when does school start they are 🙄 do you have anyone staying in your house while you're gone like maybe a brother or something just wondering so the pipes don't freeze 🙄so everybody be safe and I see you on the next video 💞💜💙💚❤️🧡💚✌️
School started on Augusts 18th. I think. In the summer we do not have to have anyone stay at our place. Just someone to come water plants every once in a while. In the winter we definitely have to think about that!
Thanks for watching! Honestly we don’t really have a budget. We are fortunate enough to have a good savings built up at this time and that makes doing things like this much easier.
Hi I just found you guys today….I bonded quickly with y’all…it might be the red hair lol 😂 I enjoyed this shopping vlog. I’m from Texas and I find it interesting how y’all shop for the year or most of the year at one time.I look forward to whatever else your channel offers. Stay safe & Stay well 💗🍁🍂🐿🎃💀🌬🍎
Hiya! Very interesting shopping trip. This is the second one of yours I've stumbled across. I'm really into minimalism ( haha just watching not really practicing) but I have some questions/suggestions. Have you thought of a bidet to help you with the TP situation? People were going nuts here when we had shortages! Also maybe powdered detergent is more economical to buy since it isn't filled up with water like the liquid jugs are. Heavier but might last longer?! Do you blanch and freeze your fresh produce to make it last? Does everyone do their shopping like this up there? How do single people manage their shopping? Have you ever done communal shopping and ordered a barge for the village / island?
We have not considered a bidet. Maybe in the future, but for now we like toilet paper. My mom used to get powered detergent, but its seems pretty similar in price and loads. We have blanched and frozen our garden vegetables, but we go through our fresh stuff fast enough that we don’t need to do that. A lot of people shop like this if they have the ability to. The single people I know still shop in bulk and just don’t have to get quite as much and it lasts longer. Some of them also don’t mind shopping in Kake, since its just them. People a long time ago did order as a group, but its the same cost now on aml if your one person or a big group. It used to be a better shipping deal in the past with larger quantities, but not now.
I've asked so many questions (I'm sorry!) but could you also do a hair tutorial? I love the way your hair looks when it's in a bun, and I can never get mine to look decent 😒
Man, if I only knew. We are working on becoming better at keeping a budget, but its a work in progress. At this point, we do not know. 🤭 thanks for watching!
We live on a remote island in Alaska. We have a store, but it is very expensive. Food is shipped to the store the same way we sent our stuff home. We do not have a doctor. We have a high level nurse, but no doctor.
I just found you guys and was impressed with your haul, is it that there is no local supermarket at all in Kake or is it just really expensive and so much more affordable for you to do the bulk shop, the bike and microwave I am guessing you would class as special items and just not have the shops there that sell them, interested to know what your local facilities are like and does everyone do their bulk shopping like you guys

This is the 1st time I have ever seen you. I will be watching you from now on.
Awe, thank you ❤️
I love how wonderful your friends are and how good you are to each other. Life in rural Alaska must be easier with a strong community.
It makes a huge difference when you have a close group of friends. Its necessary for longevity.
There is NOTHING in this world sweeter then a little one's giggle!
🥰
I glad you managed to get so much of your shopping done and sent home, and Bonnie's bed is absolutely gorgeous it must be a relief to you both to have a big store of supplies in. I do hope someone has looked after your veg garden for you while you were away. I can't wait to see you all enjoying a bike ride. It was lovely to see so much of Bonnie, and hear her beautiful giggles. Sending love and best wishes to you all 💞
Sadly our garden was over taken by weeds when we got home. We will share more of that in the upcoming vlogs!
I love your guys videos. It always relaxes me and I find life in Alaska very intriguing
Awe, thank you so much.
Your daughter will have the best of two worlds living an island life and time spent in the more populated city.
The key to success is as you have said relationships helping one another. I love your channel and someday hope to visit Alaska
This is how Chelsea grew up, and she loved it. Awe, thank you so much. Hopefully you can visit sometime soon!
It's amazing how Bonnie wears her little mask! Glad you guys had such a great summer! Hugs from Missouri 🤗
We are so glad she doesn’t fight the mask very much. Its kind of a scary world right now.
My lamb.Lil Miss Bonnie is growing so quickly.We love your family friendly videos.May The Universe bless your family.
Its wild, she just wont slow down. Thanks for watching!
Cute. She reminds me when I sleep during traveling.
Hi! Have A Great Day! Much Love!
Bonnie is SUCH a cutie! What a lovely family! I'm so glad I found your channel today :)
We are so glad you found us! Welcome to our UA-cam Family!
You guys stay busy, but it doesn’t look like it stresses you out. It’s great motivation for your viewers. Welcome back! I’m glad you had a great vacation with friends and family. What a beautiful array of house plants you have.
Thank you. We inherited most of the plants from Chelseas mom. Only a couple have died in 4 years. So we are doing pretty good.
you guys are very nice to go shopping for others. i shop for 4 houses every 4 months....it's a BIG haul....nothing like your shopping for a full year...but it's a lot of work!! bless your family for your kindness!!
That is very kind of you. I am sure that is a lot of work. I am also sure that the people really appreciate it.
What an awesome bed being able to grow as she is, great idea.
Yes, it has been great. Glad we found it.
The process of getting all your shopping items shipped to Kake is kinda neat to watch. Thanks for sharing. 👍
All of that wonderful space and everything is just thrown together
I love your life! Thanks for sharing.
Awe, thank you so much. Very sweet. Thanks for watching!
Little Miss Bonnie has grown so much this summer. THANKS FOR SHARING HER WITH US..
GOD BLESS from Julie West Central IN Farmland ✝️🇺🇸🥰🚜
Awe, We where just talking about that. Glad she can bring happiness to people’s days. I know she is always brightening our day.
Are you near Stronghurst?
I am so impressed with how prepared you are! I work hard to shop once a month with a meal plan and household stock up list. Doing it once a year is so hard! Great video!
Thank you!
That shopping haul is such a big chore. Wow! I love Bonnie’s new bed, it is really sweet.
keep sharing!!!
Your daughter is so adorable. I love watching these grocery hauls. We just bought a cabin in the mountains and the closet Costco/target etc is over 120 miles away. It’s going to be a huge change and I’m going to have to learn how to shop differently. Would love to see how you go about planning for the year!
You are the second person who has asked that. I am afraid it would not be a very good video. My family has been shopping this way as long as I can remember. So its a lot of going off of instinct. I will think more about it though!
I wondered the same thing. I do monthly but i can still go for fresh if needed. The planning would be crazy
Love your videos! It’s like things I never knew that I wanted to know! LOL. So interesting!
I live for uour videos, you guys are amazing.
Im from Ireland and we really take for granted having grocery stores so close to us xx
Awe, so glad you enjoy our content. ❤️
Wow!!! It’s amazing what u store and how it’s organised.
Thank you!
I have to say - such a cute family... really enjoyed watching you all.
I saw your dryer sheet and had an idea. If you still get baby wipes you can get the plastic wipe container and put dryer sheets in it. Keeps them fresh longer...💜
We never really had those plastic containers, but I think someone gave us something in one. I will have to see if we still have any and try it out :) thanks for the idea.
Yay! I've been waiting for this for 2 weeks! Love your family ♥️
Lol, it was a lot of editing to get through. Thanks for your patience!
So sweet. 💝🙏💝 you have a beautiful family. 💝🙏💝 prayers and congratulations to you guys enjoy each other.
Love seeing how you plan and shop and make it all work!! :)
Thank you! It is always an adventure lol.
Thank you for the video!
I found lids today! I’ve looked forever. Glad you found some.
Oh man, so glad you got some. I think we lucked out on timing of them.
Y’all make me want to visit Alaska ☺️
Me too 👍🏻
Me three!! Lol - I’ve always wanted to go but this and Somers in Alaska channel is making it worse 🙏🏻🌻
Great video.
Luv Bonnie's bed, wish I had all that pantry space 💜
I am enjoying you videos and your family life. Very different from my life as a young mother. We live in Toronto , Ontario.
I am now retired and love watching young family’s. Sending hugs and love….keep up the great work!💕
Thanks for watching! Hugs from AK
Thanks for sharing your shopping trip and haul wow.Hope Bonnie love her big girl bed.I think it is a beautiful princess bed .👍🥰

Awe, thank you ❤️
GOD BLESS you all! You're such. a beautiful family. Bonnie is so darling!*
Love the yearly hault !
It’s really nice of you to help out .

I order most of mine on the store app and then do store pick up. What does Bonnie think about being home now? Love Bonnie cam at the end. Take care, hope to see more soon.
There is a lot of stuff for sure! Bonnie is very happy to be home, but missing her Nana and all the family time.
I believe many are going to be short when the shortages begin again. Some are not preparing but the Lewis’ are way ahead of the game.
Always fun watching how things work regarding all of your groceries, etc. Knowing the work and cost involved is interesting. And, thanks for showing us where/how you store everything. You are fortunate to be in a large home. I'm sure it's hard to remember what you all have at home and what you all need especially when you need to buy so far in advance.
Very true. Sometimes we buy more then we need because we forgot and sometimes we buy too little.
That's fun your busy just to go shopping you have to go thru a lot.
Bonnie love your big girl bed you are growing so fast. Thank you for bring us along ♥️ love from London ♥️
Hi 👋 I’m a new subscriber from England 🏴 nice to meet you 👍👋🌸
Hi! Welcome to our UA-cam Family!
You all did wonderful job
New subscriber and I already love your video/vlogs….Cute family🙏🏼❤️
Welcome to our UA-cam family! ❤️
Bonnie saying "barge" was the most precious thing ever
Right! She keeps talking about it. So cute 🥰
You all have the most beautiful hair. Love the color.
Awe, thank you!
You are the cuties GINGER FAMILY.
You guys are very cool. So peaceful. I really like your channel. 😊
Awe, thank you so much.
Looks like y'all are pretty much stocked for a year.
How often do you go shop for fresh fruits, vegetables & dairy?
Also where do you go get it?
Your daughter has grown so much! She's adorable!
Do you live in your child home?
5K really isn't bad considering all you & your husband bought & had shipped.
It's nice that you help out your friends/family & visa versa. You help out each other and that's great!
Thank you for sharing you life.
I find it very interesting and it goes to just how spoiled I am having access to the grocery store and other stores whenever I need to go. Much respect!
You & your husband make a great team! Stay safe! 🙏🏻
We get fresh food. Once a month usually or every month in a half. We have the fresh stuff sent on the plane from Juneau. We do live in Chelseas childhood home ❤️
I have to say I applude you guys cos that's amazing for a years full of shopping for 3 of you, yes I know that you haven't got fresh goods but you got boxes, a bed, bikes etc amgost your food shopping YES guys some of you may say wow that's alot but remember this family shopping for a year and they have to pay to ship it home so it's not easy for these guys so bear that mind everyone!!
I do so enjoy your shopping hauls, I go Costco here in the UK and we don't have as many nice goodies as you guys 😩, I wish we did
Lisa UK xxxx 👏👏
Very interesting. You do a good job of storing and organizing. I was laughing to myself though because I have 3 teenagers and what you bought for a year would last us a month. :-D
Very true. My sister was just saying, I don’t know how our parents feed us all when we where teenagers.
U are so pretty.. OMG ur daughter is a cutie pie and very smart. I love the way u and ur husband shop. I'm a new subscriber looking forward to doing some binge watching😊 to catch up!
Awe, that is so very sweet. Welcome to our UA-cam Family! So glad to have you join our adventure.
WOW,what a haul. Bonnie is too cute.
Thank you ❤️
Love, love your videos,
Love your support! ❤️
Aww I’m a new subscriber
Welcome to our UA-cam Family!
Bonnie’s hair is getting sooo long! It is an absolute pleasure watching your little miss grow up and your continuing family adventures! Love you guys!
Well I had to have a nose to see what you were buying.it's a hell of a trip just go get a bit of shopping.
You guys have some awesome friends. I enjoyed you taking us through your pantries. Letting us be nosy 👀. Bonnie's bed is super cute. $5k average out isn't bad, especially since things just cost more now.
Thanks for watching! I think 5K is pretty reasonable for where we live :)
Yooo I love this. Honestly I’d love to organise all of that! But then again I’m just obsessed with organising…
That would be amazing. I love to see it organized, but its hard to take the time and I get frustrated half way through lol
A few years back I bought a cupboard from IKEA. It was missing a part, they said I could only get a replacement part if I returned to store. That was 120miles away, can you imagine if that happened to you!!
Have you guys ever thought of getting buckets instead of those bags? Then you can get those screw tops to put all your perishables in there like flour and stuff not perishables but you know what I meant
I have never seen buckets of flour or rice at Costco. If they had them, we would probably buy them. We can always use a bucket!
Thank you for sharing..Im new and just love your vlogs..Im in Houston Texss.. Texas Angie
Welcome to our UA-cam Channel! So glad you found us.
Make sure to put flour and other grains in the freezer for a bit to kill any eggs of pests
I have not heard of that. Thanks for the advice.
$5000 seem pretty good for a full years worth of stuff
And the bed is adorable
Thats what we thought to!
Mmmmmm and I bet you know exactly where everything is 🤣🤣
Sure do lol. We all get used to our own messes, right :)
Fantastic job🌸
I can’t even imagine doing a yearly grocery haul! When I go to the store, it’s hard to find dry foods that aren’t expiring in under 2 months
I guess we don’t worry so much about expirations. Its just a made up number in our eyes.
I’m soo jealous!!! I don’t know how Bethel continued to survive long enough for me to end up here. It’s sooo expensive and inaccessible . So few options. You guys are blesses. I hope something happens in my future so I can end up somewhere where I can do what you guys do .
I hope so too!
have you tried the pink box of sure jell it uses less sugar to make jelly and jams
I have not heard of it. Whats it called? Pink box?
It is Sure Jell for Lower Sugar Recipes
I live in Denver where I can go to the store any time and my house looks packed the same as yours. I also have the same size family so I’m shocked at myself but I buy in bulk to save money.
I think we would probably be the same way even if we lived close to stores. We probably wouldn’t need quite as much stuff though. :)
I'd love to c how you do Christmas ☃️🎄 . So jealous id love to live in Alaska. Keep the vlogs coming we love them.
Here is a playlist of our Christmas adventures from last year. ua-cam.com/play/PLT7M9yeuRUrEH5qm4tkN5OPZsXJiL6yfN.html
So much fun watching all your vacation videos! Excited about Hawaii!
Us to!
Wow! Very interesting and thanks for sharing!! From Montgomery al
Could you walk us through how you determine what you pick out (and quantity) when you do your dry grocery haul? I’m curious to see how this is done as I’m soon going to be living the farm life, and going into town for “more spaghetti” will not be as easy of a trip as it is now
I am not sure I am organized enough to explain it lol. I have watched my parents do it my whole life and kind of just go from what I know. Ill think about it some more though. That is very exciting. If we did not live in Alaska, we would probably live on a little farm :)
We are limited on TP and Paper Towels at out Costco. Did you notice if you all were as well?
It was not like that in July, but I think it is limited now.
Good job organizing! I'm impressed by y'all's energy. I'm afraid I would have collapsed the moment I walked in the door.
Lol, sometimes we wanted too. Thats for sure.
How many hours is the flight? Thank you for sharing.
Wow a lot of work but so worth it in the end. Just found your channel. May I ask where you get your face masks? We did a cruise and Juneau was one of our ports. When we were younger we had really contemplated moving to Alaska but now we’re heading middle to almost 80 for the hubby so we’ll just enjoy other’s life experiences so I subbed your channel see you next time!
Hey guys glad to see you made it back home safely 💞 Bonnie is getting so big so cute adorable love the hair I have red hair too 😁 just wondering when does school start they are 🙄 do you have anyone staying in your house while you're gone like maybe a brother or something just wondering so the pipes don't freeze 🙄so everybody be safe and I see you on the next video 💞💜💙💚❤️🧡💚✌️
School started on Augusts 18th. I think. In the summer we do not have to have anyone stay at our place. Just someone to come water plants every once in a while. In the winter we definitely have to think about that!
Thank you for sharing! This is so interesting to me! How do you budget for this type of shopping?
Thanks for watching! Honestly we don’t really have a budget. We are fortunate enough to have a good savings built up at this time and that makes doing things like this much easier.
Good day😊😊
Hi I just found you guys today….I bonded quickly with y’all…it might be the red hair lol 😂 I enjoyed this shopping vlog. I’m from Texas and I find it interesting how y’all shop for the year or most of the year at one time.I look forward to whatever else your channel offers. Stay safe & Stay well 💗🍁🍂🐿🎃💀🌬🍎
So glad you found us! Welcome to our UA-cam Family! Hopefully you are safe from the flooding in Texas ❤️
Hiya! Very interesting shopping trip. This is the second one of yours I've stumbled across. I'm really into minimalism ( haha just watching not really practicing) but I have some questions/suggestions. Have you thought of a bidet to help you with the TP situation? People were going nuts here when we had shortages! Also maybe powdered detergent is more economical to buy since it isn't filled up with water like the liquid jugs are. Heavier but might last longer?! Do you blanch and freeze your fresh produce to make it last? Does everyone do their shopping like this up there? How do single people manage their shopping? Have you ever done communal shopping and ordered a barge for the village / island?
Why a bidet- use a flannel
We have not considered a bidet. Maybe in the future, but for now we like toilet paper. My mom used to get powered detergent, but its seems pretty similar in price and loads.

another one!! :). yea!
I've asked so many questions (I'm sorry!) but could you also do a hair tutorial? I love the way your hair looks when it's in a bun, and I can never get mine to look decent 😒
Hahaha, maybe in the next Q&A ill do one. Ill have to think about how I do it lol.
If I may ask how much do you spend a year on food / supplies?
I love your vlogs 💖 God bless your beautiful family 👪 ❤ Bonnie is soooo adorable !!! 💖
Man, if I only knew. We are working on becoming better at keeping a budget, but its a work in progress. At this point, we do not know. 🤭 thanks for watching!
Bonnie , I love your big girl bed..😊
Love your channel. I am confused. Why do you ship your grocery. And is there life a doctors where you live.
We live on a remote island in Alaska. We have a store, but it is very expensive. Food is shipped to the store the same way we sent our stuff home. We do not have a doctor. We have a high level nurse, but no doctor.
Bonnie is So cute❤
How did your food not go bad?
We definitely eat food past expiration, but very rarely do we ever end up throwing food away. I don’t really remember ever throwing anything away.
I just found you guys and was impressed with your haul, is it that there is no local supermarket at all in Kake or is it just really expensive and so much more affordable for you to do the bulk shop, the bike and microwave I am guessing you would class as special items and just not have the shops there that sell them, interested to know what your local facilities are like and does everyone do their bulk shopping like you guys
We do have one general store in Kake, but it is very expensive.
