    Safeway was sold of toMorrisons in the UK, and in Northern Ireland where I am it was bought by ASDA, which is quite reasonable

      Hey Kim! Acme, that's one I have never heard of for Safeway. I was really surprised when I walked in, if it had been an independent store I am sure the prices would have been much higher. I also wonder if the prices go up in the winter when it is ski season. Anyways... thanks for watching I'm always happy to see your comments!

      Hello Kay! There seem to be a few places, PA , Hawaii, and New Jersey, that have similar prices. Milk does tend to be a bit higher when you get away from the big cities here in Alaska, I think because they are so big and bulky to ship. Hope you have a wonderful weekend Kay!

    I live in Washington state and we do have Safeway . One of the most expensive around me. The prices at this store are higher than mine for the most part. But, it’s nice that there are small stores so you don’t have to travel for a few things. Having s’mores from there would be very expensive! It’s like our convince stores.

    • @ThisAlaskaLife

    Hi Friends👋The boys did so great at the Skate Park!! We have Safeway in Australia (rebranded to Woolworths) along with Aldi, Coles and IGA as our grocery chains. Notice the products for sale are always large/bulk quantities this is something not very common in Australia, l guess the US slogan "more is more" applies we buy laundry detergents in 1kg packages or 1 litre for liquid as an example. The waterfall was magical and so close to town, so many beautiful scenes in Alaska. Thankyou for sharing 👍

    • @ThisAlaskaLife

      Hello!! I will pass on the kind words to the boys about their scootering, they sure love it! That is so interesting about product size. I would have a hard time buying small quantities. Guess I am just so used to the bigger is better?? And yes, when we first went to the waterfall I was so shocked because of how easy it was to access. Have a wonderful weekend!
