    Glad he is ok. My husband said one thing that struck me as funny. He has the same truck (Dodge ram 1500) "The first time I got stuck, I too was a Princess. It cost $400 to tow it out. Then I realized I have a truck, and I freaking pinned it, back and forth, and I got out!" To me, he isn't all that stuck. With time, he will learn what his truck can do and the fact that he needs some weight in the box over the back wheels at all times during the winter. My little Ford Focus did this one day. Being embarrassed was how I managed to get myself out of it. Grabbed the floor mats, put them under my front tires and managed to get out of it after 3 tries. Then I drove to the auto store and bought new floor mats as mine were trashed! haha

    • @ShoppinginAlaska
      @ShoppinginAlaska  Місяць тому +3

      Oh my you were creative!!! I love the floor mat idea... brilliant. Yes he knows he needs more weight in the back for sure. He has considered doing a flat bed on that truck ...who knows in the end what he will choose.
      400 bucks for a tow is expensive!!
      Well hopefully lesson learned for Brady... Snow tires would help too
      More weight in the back also
      Thanks for watching us!!! I loved learning about the mats too, great idea in a pinch.
      I will remember that for sure

    I live in Michigan, and I have always been fascinated with Alaska. We barely hear anything on the news about what's going on in Alaska. Thats why I watch a lot on videos as much as I can about it and the people there. I hope to visit someday. I really enjoyed your video dear. Stay safe out there in the wild😊🌲🌲

    • @ShoppinginAlaska
      @ShoppinginAlaska  Місяць тому +1

      Well I can tell you I used to be fascinated too with Alaska while I lived in Oregon.
      I always had this strange "pull" towards this state for many years. My family used to watch Alaska shows all the time from 2010- 2016
      We moved up here in 2016 and of course no need to watch any more shows on it!
      We absolutely love it here. The cold gets old here for sure...but we haven't left yet!
      Thanks for watching us!!!

      Yes the cost of groceries here is crazy. The best deals on food are at Anchorage Costco. That's a 4-5 hour round trip for us. So more of a once a month deal... depending on the road conditions

    • @ShoppinginAlaska

      Oh they are awful with the " sibling energy" escalation as you saw.
      Lily is much easier to shop with ....
      Funny with your brother, yes I saw the energy at the farmers market with you guys.
      He scooped you up no problem and I could tell you guys had a great sibling bond...!!
      It's too bad he doesn't live here.

    • @TheAdventuresOfKimberJessica

    ❤ nice shopping trip. Oatmeal is the way to go for breakfast.

    • @ShoppinginAlaska
      @ShoppinginAlaska  Місяць тому +1

      Yes. I feel like most cereal now has awful stuff in it. Sure it's a pretty color but wait - how is it colored and why is it colored??? It's crazy
      We do lots of eggs and sausage too
      Eggs have lots of good stuff in them
      We used to raise hogs and we did lots of bacon, that was the best breakfast. It would stick with you when it was very cold outside

    • @Justsomeguy99012
      @Justsomeguy99012 Місяць тому

      @ I eat the same thing for breakfast everyday. Oatmeal with raisins and chopped dates and a little cinnamon…. Okay a lot of cinnamon.
      I am super boring.

    • @ShoppinginAlaska
      @ShoppinginAlaska  Місяць тому +1

      well you are at least getting your fiber, that's great!

    • @Justsomeguy99012
      @Justsomeguy99012 Місяць тому

      @ I am a runner and I like the way that oatmeal keeps my blood sugar level for a long time- so I can go longer before lunch without having my blood sugar drop. I have a tendency to turn into a jerk when I need food. I can run 10 miles and go home to a big chocolate milk and some oatmeal with dried fruit and a banana and I’m great into dinner if I have to wait.

    When I work as a nurse & was about a hour 1/2 from home I would all was carry food water other drinks warm clothes socks boots hats to keep my head warm & blankets & pillows & plastic because you can bundle up and then wrap yourself up in the plastic if your car broke down somewhere & you had to wait on someone to get to you. Plus all was have a full battery backup for your Phone because all phone will call 911 what ever your Emergency number is

    • @ShoppinginAlaska
      @ShoppinginAlaska  Місяць тому +2

      Those are great tips. I love the plastic tip too. Smart. Yep when it gets super cold here we always say it's " kill a man cold" and it's for real
      No joke. That's why when possible we travel in pairs or 2 cars.

Oh, I can’t do cottage cheese in lasagna. Hudson like cider? Our electric bill is anywhere from 180.00 - 210.00 monthly. 2.99 gas here. And just a tad under 4.00 for milk. See you next time!

      Oh wow!!! That's so great you have all of that right there ...talk about " fresh" ... Neat
      Yes the prices here can be outrageous.
      Some things are fine, but other prices can be frustrating. Of course we prefer to have tons and tons of fruit but that's not happening at those prices....oh well.
      At least we are enjoying our potatoes we harvested this summer...they are wonderful

    During construction of the ALCAN Highway, government hunters were tasked with providing meat to the workers. The moose population in the area was decimated within the first year. Today, 95% of all food consumed in Alaska has to be imported by land, water, or air.
    Alaska has more residents on welfare, per capita, than any other state in the nation, according to figures released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
    An updated tally of state-by-state public assistance rates shows 6 percent to 7 percent of Alaska families receive government help to pay their bills. That's more than twice the national average.

    • @ShoppinginAlaska
      @ShoppinginAlaska  28 днів тому

      Interesting facts. Yes Alaska does import most of the food. Most of the land here is difficult to farm on. We are hoping to have a bigger garden next year. It saves on food cost plus you are involved in growing your own food
      Growing food yourself or buying from a local farmer seems safer than the food at the stores.
      That's just my opinion though...

    I have trouble buy what I need on the prices here.
    I'm 71 years old and am retired.
    I live on my Social Security which is actually below the poverty level.
    I thank God that I am able to get what I need and even do winter stock up.
    I've been working on my winter stock up since August.
    I've been able to stock up my pantry and freezers by purchasing in bulk and using my seal-a-meal to break everything down to my size of meals.
    I also go to Dollar Tree and purchase large containers to put my rice, dried beans, flour, sugar, and such in.
    God has over blessed me by being able to do this.

    An Italian vlogger said Mutti marinara is closest to Italian if Costco has it there. I read Alaska has the smallest Costco's, you should have either bigger or more Costco's there. I live a couple miles from Seattle where Costco started. I think the Shoreline store is small but probably big compared to Alaska's.

    So glad your Son is fine and not got hurt. I´m from germany and I have an lactose interolerance so I am not buying milk and most of the milkproducts. Well i´m fine with butter and cheese over 40% fett, cause there is no lactose in it. So I don´t know how much milk cost at the moment. In germany we do not have this huge milk bottels. We have milk in a 1 liter pack ( = 0,264172 gallon). So what I buy instead of cowmilk / goatmilk is oakmilk and I go shopping for this at Lidl. It is a discounter like ALDI. 1 Liter cost at the moment 1,09 EUR = 1,05 USD when it is not on sale. On sale it will cost me withe the pointcard/ app 0,75 EUR.
