When I used a chest freezer I kept a white board with what I put in it, how much of each item, and the date. This helped me keep from losing things in the freezer. Erase each item as you use them.
That’s exactly what I do. I also put the items in baskets so that I can lift out baskets to see what is underneath, rather than having to move lots of individual items.
I moved away from fairbanks/north pole cause I hated it and I dont have kids. Yet I find so much comfort in watching these videos haha. It makes me nostalgic.
Hate chest freezers, before downsizing we had the largest upright we could find. Loved it, each shelf had it's own label. One for beef, one for pork, one for chicken and fish, drawer for vegetables and small drawer for fruit. Seeing that minus zero and the fireplace on gives me shivers. It's 10:17 pm and still 76 degrees. We have the air-conditioning on.
@@sandyseibelhager7131 my aunt and uncle live in Omaha,you guys got way more snow tho I think then my town of Norfolk,this is 2nd day of no school for my 2 teens as they go to school in Stanton,stay warm and stay safe if you have to drive
Great healthy haul...I guessed 460.00. Burt is such a character...trying to sneak in a lil "mask kiss". I liked what Audrey said about grandma's house 🤗. Stay safe and keep the vlogs coming. blessings to you and your family 🙏
Yes. I’ll buy something, go to the deep freezer n move stuff around and see 3 more of the same. Definitely make a list. And cosco here in Fairbanks is always busy on the weekends.
Just FYI if you both have your Costco cards on you the numbers are different so Bert can get a toilet paper and a paper towel on his account separately if you need to get more than one each next time ! Trucks r anywhere from 5-20 days behind deliveries right now and getting slower just to let you know ! Sorry guys we are doing r best to get what we can as fast as possible in the months to come ! Stay safe -glad ur home and covid free! By the way it snowed here in Scottsdale Arizona and surrounding areas of town ! The mountains r blanketed in white ! So beautiful!
They probably know that but want to leave some for their neighbors. My son and his roommates live in a small town in UP MI. One house. They could triple up on stuff but they won't unless someone asks them to, like a large family with kids that need milk or something. Everyone is cool like that. Unlike most places people just grab more than they need whether they need it or not.
I appreciate your system, but I am just so spontaneous, that I have seldom planned a meal in advance. It’s usually what I want the day of! That’s city living for you!
I have a chest freezer. I tape a sheet of paper and hot glued a magnet to a pen that always stays on top of it. I write down any time I put something in and cross it out when I take it out. That way I always know what’s in there without having to mess around inside it.
In Jan of 2019 I visited Fairbanks and North Pole. I loved it! People were so nice! I keep thinking of going back soon, maybe for the Fall of 2021 or Spring of 2022.
In NY we are still experiencing shortages. Random items, makes bulk shopping a pain. I find myself shopping at two or three stores to get everything I need. If you are brand loyal it can be an inconvenience as well. I find some brands just not available but plenty of generics. Just depends on the week and grocery store.
I bought a new chest freezer just last month and really like having it! I went to Costco the first week I had the freezer and stocked up! Fun, fun, fun!
No shame over Christmas still being up.. we still have ours up too... the world has just been so crazy and we’re stuck at home more so we decided to keep it up longer and just enjoy it. Honestly the glow of the tree in the evenings adds a very peaceful vibe.
We're almost doing the same thing. Our tree is still up, but the only things on it are the lights and a red bow on top. My husband is one of those people who wants to pack it all away, but I am still clinging to the tree. We had another one in another room, but he took it all down.
Well if you saw where they where filling orders to go out to the outer village's, that could have been why your Fairbank's Costco was low on many items. As they can only get items sent out on the ICE ROADS this time of the year, so I'm sure that is a big reason for your shortages there.
Thanks for showing us your home, we live down under in Australia 🦘 and we also have Snow but in mountain s far away normally Sydney warm and dry, love to see each and every time. Stay warm 💞
Midwest USA. We still have grocery limits. Chicken is plentiful and they always have some on clearance. Bacon has doubled in price. Single parent Neighbor used to buy Chili Mac in the cans for his son however they at still not available. Sugar has doubled in price. But we are lucky to have lots of choices as to which grocery store to go shop.
I got the 30 pack of KS Bath tissue at $16,99 this last weekend in Azusa, CA. I just remembered I should’ve stocked up on the bacon, the cost will be going up soon. Overall, the pricing is good at Costco compared to the local grocery stores, there you really see the impact of inflation, prices skyrocketed and packaging is getting smaller.
You guys are a really cool family! I'm in Michigan, so I can relate to the cold winters. I've always been fascinated by Alaska and being in healthcare I've heard of the many incentives for nurses to move to Alaska
Honestly, I’m in VA and prices were very comparable. I thought the total price was excellent for what you purchased. I will spend more than that at Sam’s and not have as much as you got, in my opinion.
@@kathleenross9814 sams is a little bit higher than Costco on most things. I’ve shopped at both Cisco and Sams. I would agree prices are very comparable from here and there in Alaska. I’m in California but are prices are higher here then most other states.
Being a crafty person I'd love to see your local yarn shops & craft stores...big box like hobby lobby & local owned. I couldn't imagine not having yarn on hand!
Costco is the best just bought from them today i go through instacart because im unable to go out as much as i want too because i have 5 autoimmune diseases . So i shop online n watch your videos Which makes me so happy n forget that im stuck in the house so i say a special thank you very much hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy n soon enough this pandemic calms down
I've got an upright freezer and I still lose things all the time. My kids have set up a program of every 5 months to empty my freezer and use the oldest stuff first. This started when I found product in my pantry with an expiry date of over 6 years. the sort out included the freezer and now continues on a regular bases
Interesting! Here in Vancouver, WA those prices are essentially the exact same. Seems like cost of goods really depends on the retailer, which is good since it motivates me more to move there!
Plus I have a small garden on the side of my house. Lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, leeks, and a few heads of red cabbage. Love that with a rad of bacon and apples. It's a German thing.
I know what your talking about when you have a chest freezer, things get covered up by all the other items one buys, then you just do not know what is really down in the bottom!! So I would say to NEVER buy a chest freezer, buy only a front door freezer, as when you open that door, one can see just about ALL Items that are in ones freezer for sure!! Take Care!!
Wow, much respect to you and your family. Its amazing in Alaska but I cant do the cold. I live upstate NY and I am still to this day, a big baby when it comes to our winters.
What happens at grandma's house stays at grandma's house. I second that from a full grown grandma's boy, even though she's gone the love is always there.
Yes I have chest freezer yes stuff get buried for sure. We have 3 freezes due to having 10 kids and 9 kids eat but one is only about turn 2 months . But you have to be prepared for sure cotsco is our favourite place too . Our Costco is fully stocked surprising due to them going crazy last month .
I feel spoiled at my Costco now. A few items I want to say had similar pricing for the most part but even your TP and paper towel were $5-$6 more then here. Produce in my area is very cheap but I am in farmland Florida. Also I have a chest freezer and the amount of "hidden" stuff I've found still amazes me.
We got those stuffed parmesean chicken bacon wrapped things. They are SOOOOOO yummy. My family loves them. Perfect with some veggies and mashed potatoes. Yum yum yum.
I am just outside of Washington DC, high cost of living area, our Costco prices are very close to yours. What I find most amazing is how few people are in your store! We have to wait in line to even get in because of covid restrictions and it is still so crowded inside.
I just found your channel. What a treat to see a great family in Alaska. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Your channel will be one that we will really enjoy.
When ur ready, ur ready. When my daughter was battling cancer a few years back. She said, “mommy I want to keep up the tree”. I kept that decorated 🌲 up until June 2017, and had no shame!!!👍🏾
Costco bell peppers freeze really well! To cook and keep them from going soggy, just toss in a pan on med/high heat once the water has evaporated, add some butter/oil & use how you please
Enjoyed your day in the life! Also, so funny you spoke with a family (with the baby) that I know. My coworkers daughter who just moved there in November. Small world! Also, your home is beautiful. .
@@bryanjjones4163 we had quite a bit of snow over the weekend, it’s now just frozen solid on the ground , it’s about 3,or 4 inches deep in some places , other places haven’t had much snow at all .
@@LifeWithMrsB we’re the same in Stoke-on-Trent some parts are really deep and the roads are awful but then drive 10-15 mins away and there’s hardly anything. We have hardly anything now it’s just lying on the grass and the paths.
I love this.. first time viewing.. so interesting to see what life is like in Alaska! I'm in Southern California.. The prices are a little bit higher but I"m sure that's due to shipping and what not to get goods to Alaska.
Watching you shop gave me heart palpitations because I swear could hear my mother from the grave grumbling about how you put stuff in the cart😳. She was a jenga master with the cart and shopping for 8.
You need a vacuum sealer. Soft stuff like corn dogs are best sealed frozen. It keeps for a long time. I have stuff a year later that looks like the day I sealed it. I buy bulk and on sale. Love my sealer. A lot less waste.
We have a chest freezer. We go through it every so often and find all kinds of stuff that we didn’t know we had. The mask kiss was so funny! Laughed so hard! 😂 😂
Awesome video. Total I thought was going to be higher but a steal of a deal for the amount of groceries you gotten. Yes some things are organic which tends to cost slightly more. My buddy and I had a chest freezer one time and loved it. We could bulk up/ having it well organized and plan out meals for a couple weeks at a time.
Our Costco in South Carolina has been out of a few things also. Plus limits on items, Really thought y'all would have spent more !! Enjoy watching y'all !!
Happy Monday, Somers. I hope you’re having a good day. I see you’re right back into the ‘shop with me’ video. I love it. I hope you Somers stay safe and warm during the cold, cold weather. Continue on your road on getting that Giant Gold Play Button
Hello miss you guys I loved everything your sharing your family and my daughter and l are totally rocking our hoodies and yes loved love my hat so warm 😊 and as far as your christmas stuff l think it brings some joy we still have our lights up outside it brings us joy while walking our furbaby at night but we're taking them down soon have a bless one God bless
I guessed $425. I was pretty close. Enjoyed your Cotsco haul. I haven’t been to Cotsco in a while due to the Covid. I am getting my 2nd vaccine in 8 days, so I plan on going there soon. I’ve been going to my local grocery store.
As a grandma and just became a great grandma.... what grandma says goes.😎. Glad to see you home and first thing..... grocery haul. Love from the island of Guam USA🌴🌴
So happy to see your family living the traditional life, parents loving children, children respecting their elders. And grandparents are part of the family. Great job there. ❤️👌🙏
I can not believe how stinking sweet Audrey is. Evelyn is too, but gosh! She’s just so happy & so humble. I pray when I have a daughter she’ll be as well rounded & sweet as Your girls are!
Costco seems to be the most similar as far as prices in across states, I've seen several different alaska vlogers shopping haul videos and places like kroger, safeway etc seem to be way different, most things at costco are the same as here in oregon or within a dollar or so...
I’m in British Columbia and Costco in Alaska is cheaper than here in most cases which is mind blowing! I don’t even live up north where it should be more expensive! I’m On the south coast
Audrey was hilarious! 🤣 What happens at Grandma's stays at Grandma's! Spread throughout the grandkids and many generations to come! 🤣 Love it!! My grandmother had treats waiting for me when I would go and visit! Loved going to her house! Great memories! I miss my grandmother! She passed a long time ago.
I shop @ Sam’s and a week ago the had disinfectant wipes! I got a 5 pack of Clorox wipes. They haven’t had those since April 2020. They have a few brands of paper products but not fully stocked and meats tonight were pretty stocked
Love watching your Costco videos. Our local Costco is probably 65 minutes away. We lived in a small town in Southeastern Indiana. But I go with my friend whom have a membership once a while. Love it! It saves me a lot of money and value with the paper products
I live in a tropical climate and I found it so funny that icecream is still very common there! We see it as a "super hot day" treat lol. Not so common to eat icecream when its colder here.
I watched you for the first time around Christmas, thought well these seem like nice positive people so I subscribed today.I seen your video in Costco and knew I did the right thing .
Even us in remote Northern BC areas stock up lots too. We are about 2 hours from the closest city so at any given time the highway can be closed. We go to town/costco maybe every month or two. So our costco hauls are usually upwards of 500.00 each time. As far as i could see our prices are close to yours. I always enjoy watching your channel thanks.
And please don’t forget the truckers making those hauls from farm to shelf. This from a trucker’s daughter who, even though my dad has to retire, still gets chills when I think of the men and women away from their family and keeping it between the ditches. Thanks to all the farmers for their sacrifices also!
When I used a chest freezer I kept a white board with what I put in it, how much of each item, and the date. This helped me keep from losing things in the freezer. Erase each item as you use them.
That’s exactly what I do. I also put the items in baskets so that I can lift out baskets to see what is underneath, rather than having to move lots of individual items.
What a great idea! Thank you
I do this also and I keep one on my fridge for leftovers cause they can get lost in there and then up being thrown out.
I'll have to do this when I get my chest freezer! Thanks!!!
That is brilliant!
“What happens at Grandmas stays at Grandmas for all the generations to come”. How stinking cute is she. 😬♥️🤣
I have to say - I cannot get over how sweet and adorable she is! she's just the cutest thing ever!
What a magnetic personality she has! Totally a sweetheart ❤️

That was 10/10 adorable..everyone would love to be that age at grandmom's house again
I agree with Audrey. What happens at grandma and grandpa's house, stays at grandma and grandpa's house. I laughed when Burt did the mask kisses.
True love 😍😍😂😂
😹😹😹that was so funny 😂
Your oldest daughter always cracks me up...she talks like she is so much older. She is a ray of sunshine!!!
Audrey... so stinkin cute with the ice cream and grandma’s rules! 🥰
Grandma's rules trumps mommy's and daddy's rules. At least that's how it was when I was growing up. LOL
@@davevanhorn9741 that’s how it is with my grandkids! 😂

Yes girl we bought a chest freezer first time last year if I would have known I would of spent a little more and got a stand up freezer.
Lol!!
Yes. I’ll buy something, go to the deep freezer n move stuff around and see 3 more of the same.
Definitely make a list.
And cosco here in Fairbanks is always busy on the weekends.
"What happens at the grandparents, stays at the grandparents". Love it! We have a similar arrangement with our grandkids as well.

Organize the chest freezer in two halves, with older and newer separate and use up the older stuff before you get into the newer stuff.
You can get additional wire baskets, milk crates or even plywood for dividers to help keep things organized.

Aww you have to love it when you start hearing your parents words come out of your mouth 😂😂
I love how you both are so kind and gracious to your followers.
Watching you shop gave me heart palpitations because I swear could hear my mother from the grave grumbling about how you put stuff in the cart😳. She was a jenga master with the cart and shopping for 8.
You need a vacuum sealer. Soft stuff like corn dogs are best sealed frozen. It keeps for a long time. I have stuff a year later that looks like the day I sealed it. I buy bulk and on sale. Love my sealer. A lot less waste.
We have a chest freezer. We go through it every so often and find all kinds of stuff that we didn’t know we had. The mask kiss was so funny! Laughed so hard! 😂 😂
Awesome video. Total I thought was going to be higher but a steal of a deal for the amount of groceries you gotten. Yes some things are organic which tends to cost slightly more. My buddy and I had a chest freezer one time and loved it. We could bulk up/ having it well organized and plan out meals for a couple weeks at a time.
Love this! Moving to Fairbanks in a few months, I am SO ready to Costco haul!
Our Costco in South Carolina has been out of a few things also. Plus limits on items, Really thought y'all would have spent more !! Enjoy watching y'all !!
Have you noticed there's just a little more daylight sticking around?
Very wonderful family
I live in Illinois and it is not to bad but we don't have the snow like you do.
Be safe
Thanks for sharing
I really like the costco shopping . Have great week
All you guys have great cheerful personalities. Stay blessed.
Happy Monday, Somers. I hope you’re having a good day. I see you’re right back into the ‘shop with me’ video. I love it. I hope you Somers stay safe and warm during the cold, cold weather. Continue on your road on getting that Giant Gold Play Button

I guessed $425. I was pretty close. Enjoyed your Cotsco haul. I haven’t been to Cotsco in a while due to the Covid. I am getting my 2nd vaccine in 8 days, so I plan on going there soon. I’ve been going to my local grocery store.
Congratulations 🎊 on getting your 2nd vaccination soon.
Have you done any research on that... might not make it to the store just saying
As a grandma and just became a great grandma.... what grandma says goes.😎. Glad to see you home and first thing..... grocery haul. Love from the island of Guam USA🌴🌴
So happy to see your family living the traditional life, parents loving children, children respecting their elders. And grandparents are part of the family. Great job there. ❤️👌🙏
I can not believe how stinking sweet Audrey is. Evelyn is too, but gosh! She’s just so happy & so humble. I pray when I have a daughter she’ll be as well rounded & sweet as Your girls are!
Costco seems to be the most similar as far as prices in across states, I've seen several different alaska vlogers shopping haul videos and places like kroger, safeway etc seem to be way different, most things at costco are the same as here in oregon or within a dollar or so...
I’m in British Columbia and Costco in Alaska is cheaper than here in most cases which is mind blowing! I don’t even live up north where it should be more expensive! I’m On the south coast
I went Friday. Huge store with large bottles or packages of everything. Wow....back to Aldi's for me.
I love aldi. But notice they also are having a supply issue with lots of items
Audrey was hilarious! 🤣
What happens at Grandma's stays at Grandma's! Spread throughout the grandkids and many generations to come! 🤣
Love it!! My grandmother had treats waiting for me when I would go and visit! Loved going to her house! Great memories!
I miss my grandmother! She passed a long time ago.
I shop @ Sam’s and a week ago the had disinfectant wipes! I got a 5 pack of Clorox wipes. They haven’t had those since April 2020. They have a few brands of paper products but not fully stocked and meats tonight were pretty stocked
Okay it’s official! I am applying to adopt the entire Somers family, including Bert and Jessica!! I won’t take no for an answer! 🤷🏻♀️🤣💖
Love watching your Costco videos.
Our local Costco is probably 65 minutes away. We lived in a small town in Southeastern Indiana. But I go with my friend whom have a membership once a while. Love it!
It saves me a lot of money and value with the paper products
I paid a little less than £11 yesterday for the toilet roll here in Scotland which is about $15. My chest freezer is also like a playground 😂😂
I live in a tropical climate and I found it so funny that icecream is still very common there! We see it as a "super hot day" treat lol. Not so common to eat icecream when its colder here.
I watched you for the first time around Christmas, thought well these seem like nice positive people so I subscribed today.I seen your video in Costco and knew I did the right thing .
Even us in remote Northern BC areas stock up lots too. We are about 2 hours from the closest city so at any given time the highway can be closed. We go to town/costco maybe every month or two. So our costco hauls are usually upwards of 500.00 each time. As far as i could see our prices are close to yours.
I always enjoy watching your channel thanks.
This episode brought to you by America’s hard working farmers and ranchers...
And please don’t forget the truckers making those hauls from farm to shelf. This from a trucker’s daughter who, even though my dad has to retire, still gets chills when I think of the men and women away from their family and keeping it between the ditches. Thanks to all the farmers for their sacrifices also!
👏🏾👏🏾🇺🇸👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 and a much grateful Thanks to ALL those Ranchers and Farmers !!
@@kelleygiambro7542 Everyone forgets about the truckers! Thanks for mentioning them! They keep rolling so we an have what we need!
Farm worker here. I am shocked the prices are so low.
@@kelleygiambro7542 I concur many Americans are so critically vitual to keeping american feed...
I love that you guys are still so in love with each other!! I pray to find a love like that one day!
