    Hi Lauren, we don’t get that variety over here in Oz or those cheaper prices for similar items. We don’t get autumn specific items either. Enjoy your trip. ❤❤❤❤ the kumatoes are delicious. They last for ages in the fridge. The Saturn peaches are called donut peaches here,when you can get them. They’re the best peaches ever. Juicy and sweet. The plucots are plum crossed with apricot. Again delicious. We call them pluots. Just saying I love your channel because you’re so precise when you speak. No ands and buts etc. keep up the great job. We love you and the family. Go Bennett. Great job.

      Vicki I am also amazed at all the different autumn items available. Of course as you know our Autumn is earlier in the year. The prices are in USD so to get a better idea of the price comparison find out the exchange rate and they dont seem that much cheaper. I did that when someone who bought a large punnet of blueberries andit it translated to $15 AUD.

They have a good selection of lo carb or keto meals. Im in No Cal and the price's there are pretty good too.

    Have never gotten how people will spend 40 dollars on a cup when you can buy the same thing for half the price just to prove they have a name brand. The only person I need to impress is myself and I love when I can buy secondhand or very cheap. Would not know a brand name if I tripped over it.

    Just curious, buy why is food shopping in the US so expensive? I live in the UK and must admit our prices have gone sky high - but no way near as expensive as the states. In a way I understand why the prices are higher in Alaska (as they need to ship all the products much further away) but as a whole your supermarkets are so expensive compared to ours here in the UK.

    Hi Lauren glad you had fun. Just an FYI, Trader Joe’s and Aldi’s are brother stores. Two bothers each went their separate ways and open a store where they sell very similar items just different price points, would be interesting to see a similar items taste test maybe if you go to those stores again. Thanks for sharing and I love the ending when you thank everyone and your gentle tone. Hugs 🤗

    I recently was in the USA and we dont have Aldi or Trader joes either. Except the blessing of being in alaska versus canada... you dont have any dollar limit to bring anything home from stores you go to. I was not impressed with Aldi. I had seen so many videos on it and they had some things, but it was okay. Trader joes I feel like it depends on the location. Ive seen good trader joes and I've been to not so good trader joes.
