Our channel is focused on making quality content for adults. However, we aim to always create family-friendly content that is safe for the entire family to watch together.
In light of World Events going on right now; it is calming to see a SomersinAlaska video. I just have to take a short break and have some normal in my life...
I was thinking the same thing
This ♡
Couldn’t of been said better
Amen....I know that our prices have gone up. As 1 person , I do not shop at Costco, but I love the store .
We shop at Sam’s Club, much closer but prices are going up daily. Very sad what is going on in Ukraine . Biden too weak to do anything.
I would love to see a video where you show us the meals you make. Just like your top 10 go to meals for different times. From daily quick and easy to what you would make if you were low on things and getting into you long-term supplies. Love y'all as always great video. I hope you have a wonderful day.😊
⁰moo no no
This video reminds me of my wife and me going on "shopping dates" when our 3 boys were early teenagers. With 3 boys, we had 3 refrigerators and 3 freezers as well as a dry stock pantry that we kept stocked. We also were foster parents and we usually had a total of 4 or 5 kids but as high as 9. Now, in our 60's we look back and say it was the best of times.
Thank you for opening your home to foster kids in the past! It can be hard, but it is so needed 💛 My husband and I go on shopping dates too, two refrigerators and three deep freezers to keep stocked!
That is so sweet! I can’t wait to make memories like that with my boyfriend❤️
Thanks for making people happy in this sad and anxious world we live in .
I agree I just love the happy family🥰
Yes, that is good to point out. I did ever so much enjoy watching today. Yesterday I watched the news and it was hard emotionally. It’s hard but their videos are fun rays of sunshine:) I can’t wait for the next Alaskan Apparel launch.
It is funny that you mentioned and seemed surprised that Costco was stocked. In Alabama and I went to Sams Club today and I told my husband that I couldn’t believe how well stocked they were. I asked what’s wrong with me? I freaked out earlier because they weren’t stocked and today I freaked out wondering what was wrong because they were stocked. 🤪😂😂
Yes Exactly me too!But I know all it takes is a few hours and it can be all gone!Thats what scares me!
I told my hubby the exact same thing! I went to Sam’s yesterday and got nervous Bc stock was good but prices…not good!
I went to my local Sams in Alabama and was shocked. I was expecting them to be low or out…
Everything has gotten more expensive. Our weekly grocery bill went from $125-$150 to $150-$200.. I haven't seen any shortages recently in New Jersey. Jessica and Bert thank you for brightening our day. Your family and videos are a beacon in the dark. Praying for peace.
Where I live in NJ there have been shortages. Pasta, canned goods, dairy and chicken are always in some sort of lack of products.
It’s been the same here in the state of Georgia. I went to the grocery store yesterday with my mom and she pretty much bought the same amount that she always does and it was at least $50 more. It’s getting ridiculous.
I’m also in New Jersey (outside Philadelphia) and have noticed stores are pretty well stocked on everything, but prices sure have gone UP!!!
I'm also in NJ (South Jersey about an hour away from Philly) I have notice my grocery bill going up just a little but not as bad since I shopping at Aldi instead of ShopRite (only go to ShopRite for drinks) and storages there's plenty of them..
@@blueangels8103 I'm in Atlantic county also. BJs, Aldi and rarely EHT Shop Rite. prices are up all over.
We use Sams club because we don’t have Costco. They do pickup orders 24ish hour notice and they will shop and have it ready for you. But, you do not have to spend a certain amount to do it.
It looked like you ran a red light lol. Our stores in South Texas have shortages for something’s. Also we still have limits on how much chicken you can buy. Just so long as I can get my corn beef later for St. Patrick’s Day.
Hey hey beauty, it’s so nice to see some refreshing of happiness after everything going on around the world makes me so sad but to sit and turn on a video takes me away from all the nasty and brings a lot of joy to our home thank you so much 😊 we hope you staying safe and warm from our family
To yours
Went to my local Aldi today. (Zanesville, Ohio) They said we have a shortage of cream cheese. Saltine crackers are also scarce.
@@stunrut Napanee Ontario, we have been short for awhile here as a lot of stock and trucks can’t get across the borders right now
I was a box boy in high school 1969 to 1971 and the biggest order I ever loaded out was $80 and I made $1.25 an hour.
Costco tends to be a little higher cost than Sam's Club, but comparing the prices in Fairbanks to Louisville, KY they are not much different. I have also been slowly relocating to Anchorage/Wasilla area and I believe Alaska has to be one of the most welcoming and friendliest States. There must be rude people as well but I have yet to run into one. I was told that ever since UPS located a hub in Anchorage, it has helped curb high cost because of the many flights in and out of the airport.
Another fine 'splainer. Thank you @Jack.
im so proud to see you both return your shopping carts. as a cart pusher i really respect that
Most costco goers return their shopping cart compare to other stores like walmart or target
Love getting to see the nature of alaska at the beginning of your videos, love your videos and family but the snownon the tall trees so calming❣️
I love your videos :-) it fills me with peace to know that there are good people out there in the you are so wholesome and kind. Thanks for having this channel and filling UA-cam with wonderful contact. You guys are awesome
Love when you and Bert go shopping together. You make it very fun and exciting.
Love seeing Costco runs! So glad you were not limited, so that you could get what you needed, and replenish your emergency foods.
Happy Thursday, SOMERS. I hope you’re have a good, safe day. I see that you’re doing more shopping at Costco. I love these shopping haul videos. Costco is a good place to shop. I hope you SOMERS have a good day. Continue on your road on getting the giant gold play button.
GREAT shopping haul... HUGS & BLESSINGS of Peace & Saftey during this very scary time we all are living in...
Your Vlogs MANY times have helped uplift me through unrest whether it be a Life threatening bout of a Pandemic or Civil unrest... I ALWAYS look forward to your Fun, Loving & Compassionate VLOGS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH Somers Happy Peoples.
GBY ALL 🙏❤💙💖💖💙🤗✝️
You two are definitely the definition of power shoppers. Love how you work together and have fun doing it. ❤❤
Always love watching your shopping videos!!! 😃 They are so fascinating to watch 😃
I love this family!! God bless you all always!! 🙏🙏💖💖
I LOL’d at ‘hair up in a bun cos it got real’…this is me at every shopping ‘adventure’ 🤣🤣👏👏
It’s been a while since I watched your videos, but this channel always brings me such peace. Thank you for your videos!
Went to that Costco about two weeks ago and I was super happy with how well stocked they are keeping it.
I haven't been in store shopping since covid started getting bad. I do on line shopping and have it delivered. I have noticed a lot of stock is not available and my shopping bill keeps getting higher. Keep safe from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
gas prices r crazy I put 62 liters o f gas in my suv today and about fell over it was $98 I have never in my life paid that for gas then went to the grocery store and spent $60 on a bag and a half of groceries I also live in Toronto and stores r well stocked right now maybe because more people can't afford it
Ontario, Canada here. We were having a lot of issues with fruits, some vegetables and mostly ground meats and chicken. Everything seems to be better now, besides the hike in prices.
Yes, in Southern AZ, its like a hit and miss now when it comes to grocery shopping
Me too! Your videos are refreshing. Thank you.
My husband and I say we are going on a road trip when we go to Costco !! We love Costco !! Y’all are too cute !! 😀😀
I switched to Sam’s but only because it’s closer to where I live in Hawaii, but yes, prices have gone up and seem to keep going up every 1-2 weeks here. I’m sure it’s all over too. Keep being AWESOME! Sending warm Sunny thoughts and love 🏝Aloha❣️
My fiancé and I love grocery shopping together. It's actually how we fell in love! Going grocery shopping 🤣❤🤗 now it's our thing to do together. It's pretty sweet and brings my heart much joy ❤
Your family is so cute. I live in Colorado and I thought maybe 500 when you said 900 I almost fell out of my chair. Try to stay warm. and well.
I was close😊 I guessed $850! I don’t go into stores as I have a compromised immune system and with Covid I either do click list or for Costco I use Instacart. It’s so easy to shop online and let others shop for you. I have no impulse buys and I know how much I’m spending before I hit the buy button just in case I want to adjust my list.
It was a nice break from current events to see your video. Thank you
Our local stores, Safeway and Walmart, are very low on stock but some things are still available but prices have skyrocketed. I will be going to Costco in Reno, 100 miles away, tomorrow as well as a Walmart so that should be interesting. Fuel prices on Tuesday were $5.10 and today, Thursday, the price is $5.17.
California? Thank you very much! In Boston here, I help out my mom with the groceries there. This is the kind of thing that she would stubbornly avoid complaining about.
My ballpark guesstimate is $3000. Take care you beautiful, original Happy "Somers" Peoples. Spring and tons of daylight is just around the corner. Your vlogs are so uplifting, and I absolutely love that are faith based. Thank you!
Yes we have pick up available at our Costco and Sam’s Clubs in New Jersey. They do the shopping and you pick up just like the regular grocery stores here except there is no minimum dollar amount you have to spend like your Costco in Alaska ($500.00). 😊
I shop at Walmart online. Member of Walmart+ for 100 dollars a year so I have it delivered for free. So convenient and definitely worth it. But I will say the prices are definitely going up across the board.
Enjoyed the video! Wow! Almost $900? Yikes! Looked like you got some great deals! Glad you stocked up. Uncertain times. Stay safe & well! ~ Chris from NJ
Thank you for sharing your life and home
We have been watching your lovely family since we were stationed in Hawaii a few years ago and before we moved to Anchorage. I’m glad that you all are able to stock up a bit. We are planning on doing that this coming week as well.
Look at the ingredients on your pam. Mine had silicone propane in it. I was able to find and olive oil spray that didn't have those 2 ingredients.
Avocado spray for high heat! Pam is horrid…
I also buy the avocado spray, and Kirkland olive oil. So much healthier.
The prices will never go up on YOUR shelves! :) Good haul! Greetings from Tennessee!
Hello from Anchorage, Ak!! It’s so amazing to finally see an Alaskan UA-camr! You guys are amazing. Definitely have seen a lot of shortages in Anchorage and prices have been rising.
😲Wow....that’s a lot of snow!❄️. Jessica, that was so cute and funny😂🤣you riding on the cart🛒in the store and Bert running right behind you!😁. It’s Good to be Joyful!🥰. I had guessed around $515. or $530. Oh my Goodness.. $800 and something!😳. Yeah, we’re seeing some shortages and prices going up! I’m Glad y’all are doing so much Better!🥰. Have a Wonderful weekend!💖
That was about 200.00 more than I had guessed when you cashed out. I have watched a lot of your hauls. I definately think it reflects the increase we are all dealing with in the stores.
I love watching your grocery hauls, im in the UK and the nearest costco is 3hour drive ☹️ as for your milk being out of date i never take notice of that we never had dates as children,😅 so if it doesnt smell bad its fine, stay safe look forward to the next video love from UK🇬🇧🇬🇧 ❤️❤️
I agree, many people throw out perfectly good items because of the date on the package. If it smells bad, it’s bad.
I am also in the UK & think there fresh produce is very expensive. The price of cucumbers & corn on the cobs 😯
Yup I so agree! Extra dairy goes in the freezer, everything freezes well with the exception of cottage cheese and sour cream..cream is ok if you dont mind lumpy lol.
Prices in Indiana have increased. 2 years ago my grocery budget was around$75 a month (single person and 1 dog household). Now I expect my monthly groceries to be around $250. So comparable.
If you have an extra budget with the world as it is, I would go back and double what you bought, just to be safe and prepared. I just did my monthly pickup last week and I am currently making out a stock up order to pickup next week.
Always a blessing for me to have one of your videos come my way. Sending you prayers for all you may need prayers for.
In my area,in Florida( central) the 3 biggies here are Publix,Aldis,Walmart...n dollar stores: Dollar General,Family Dollar, and Dollar Tree! That said, all of 'em are stocked...n many buy 1 get 1..sales! At the moment..we are good 👍!
My weekly grocery was $70 now it is $120. Crazy how it almost doubled! And I buy less than I did when things were cheaper!
Wow! So crazy where do you live? I like in California. I buy dinner for two weeks and it went from about 200 to 330$ this month. Very sad.
I just went to the grocery store this week and I spent almost $130 and that was just for one person! I about fell out! 🤯
I hardly had anything in the cart! 🤯
There have been a few shortages where I live in Florida. But not too bad.
For some reason cream cheese is hard to find. 🤔
I can relate to that, I'm on a fixed income and it kills me to buy groceries anymore. I watch every penny.
I'm in Kansas & go to aldi for most of my stuff, which is cheaper for me & yeah they were out of cream cheese for awhile!
We have cream cheese in MS but not can biscuits 🤷🏻♀️
Yup spent $130 at Trader Joe’s. My husband was in disbelief! He was like “what did you even get?!?!” Lol it’s scary times. I think we should start stocking up.
We were out of cream cheese for quite awhile, but now it is cheeses
i always enjoyed your vlogs and i look for them all the time specially when times are not to good i live in Mississippi and our stores are well stocked too great to know your doing well 😊
Winter chores are never ending
I literally choked on my water at that total. My guess was around 500. Holy moly. I live in Seattle and we can order delivery from Costco via instacart
I like using instacart from Costco in a pinch previously, but I can buy a few more items with the markup if I go to the store myself which I have been doing.
I guessed $1200 and was obviously way off. I was thinking with prices being more up there and then the price hikes - nope, I got this one way wrong. LoL
I Love Instance cart and it helps me from NOT spending so much...if I go in the store...I SEE so much more Lol!!
Our groceries have increased by approximately 30% over the last 6-8 weeks. Shortages are hit and miss. For example this week there might not be any paper plates/paper napkins and next week there will be plenty and no soup. You can’t really plan on what might be short. Today our gas prices increased to $4.059/gallon. We are in the extreme part of NY on the Canadian border. (Most NYers think we live in Canada - lol.). By the way, we are so remote where we live, we don’t even have a Costco. When you are on a fixed income and it normally cost you $40 to fill your car and now its $65, then add 30% to your grocery bill and we fear people will start to fall through the cracks.
Lets go Brandon, he did that;)
I paid $4.35/gallon yesterday at Costco in So. Calif. Up from $3.03/gal Jan 20, 2021. Ave. price in Calif earlier this week was $4.72/gallon.
YAY!! LOL! I NEVER knew how much I would enjoy grocery shopping videos until I found your channel like 2 weeks ago. While I have watched several of your other videos, I totally binged your grocery shopping videos...hahaha
I love you guys so much. You feel like family. God bless.
People just need to remember there's a difference in stocking up on essentials and hoarding/panic buying.
Does anyone else work on their shopping list while watching these hauls? 🙋♀️
I love these shopping vlogs.
Love shopping with y’all!!!
Yea, just did a huge haul myself. In Pennsylvania we're back to limited items etc. Freedom Convoy and Inflation. Thankfully I live in a rural area. Let's go Brandon!
Why do they say--let's go Brandon--i hear it a lot ??
I'm in Tempe Arizona and I was at Costco couple days ago. I guessed you spent 1k and I was dead on if you had tax. You definitely got your money's worth on that purchase FOR SURE,! P.S I LOOOVEE YOUR FAMILY!!!!
love the words of affirmations at the end for hubs!teamwork
In recent weeks our local grocery stores have removed the limit quantity signs. But a lot of things are out of stock. Costco has been well stocked every time I go. I plan on going to Costco next week to stock up once again. Great video.
*People will be kicking themselves in few weeks if they miss the opportunity to buy and invest in Crypto as it's retracing....BE WISE*
Crypto is the new gold
I wanted to trade Crypto but got discouraged by the fluctuations in price
@@kimberlycunningham4649 That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Andrew Mitchem
@@tomasbowater975 I heard that his strategies are really good!
@@kimberlycunningham4649 Yeah, My first investment With Mr Andrew Mitchem earned me profit of over $25,530 US dollars, and ever since then he has been delivering
Logan Utah , yes we have Walmart & Sams club pick up & they are free for us no matter how much you spend . I love doing pick up super easy & usually they are very good at picking your stuff 👏🏼
looks so peaceful 🌴
Hi Somers family, I love watching your videos. I watch them wheni am getting ready for work in the or winding down fir for the night. Very calming. Thank you Tricia from Michigan
Hello Somers family! Glad to see you are back.
Hi Somers Fam.. watching from the Philippines. In our local grocery we do have that bulk order thingy. The service fee here is quite expensive though. Although if u convert ur service fee, yours is expensive. Sometimes we also use Grab to do our shopping or pick up our order from that grocery store. I am really enjoying watching all ur videos. Stay safe and healthy.
I had to have some sunshine ( as in you all ) so ii came here to watch you all . To much gloom going on in the world and you all make me feel better ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🎈🎈🎈🎈 . GODBLESS you all
I was just at Fbks Costco this am and was pleasantly surprised at how stocked it was ! Lots of items on sale too ! I also purchased the Keto brownies, boy they are yummy ! I spent $442.00 but also purchased some Dungeness crab and a Pagoda card
Jessica, I live in Cincinnati, Ohio. Ever since Covid 19 began, I have walked in a grocery store 3 times. I am 67 years old and have Heart Disease and Diabetes. I watch my 3 year old grandson who has breathing issues. I do not want to pick anything (germs) up and bring it home to him. I do all my shopping online for gifts as well as groceries. I shop at Kroger and they have shortages all the time. I never get my full list of things I order. It is ridiculous. I am, however grateful for what I receive. I just have to rearrange my meal plan. It is what it is.
I just want to tell you and Bert, I enjoy your family vlogs. Your kids brighten my day when they talk to us on camera. Thanks for allowing us to see what your lives are about. Have a blessed day!
I’ve been doing more at Sams lately here in MO. Here the prices haven’t gone up too bad except a couple things. We are using our stock more. I just go to Costco for some things I can only get there since they r quite a bit higher.
My local supermarket here in Australia has a few "temporary" shortages, so I've just tried other brands instead or gone without. Prices are rising though, I budget for $100/week. I go over, even buying cheaper home brands.
Good time for another Costco run. The prices down here in SoCal have been going up for the last few months. I can imagine that this Has this happened there in Fairbanks and North Pole. No noticeable shortages as of yet, only price increases. Mask mandates are being lifted IF you have proof of Vaccination. Hope all is well for you SomersInAlaska!
So far, our stores have been pretty stocked. Last month it was hard cause things were not in stock but lately, well stocked. Enjoyed the video. Love from the island of Guam 🌴💗🌴
Here in Canada our stores are stocked nicely. That Costco haul is like us because we go for a few months to last us. I've seen a few price hikes on everyday stuff.. When you need to eat you just buy it. Nice haul always nice to have help for sure
I love grocery shopping with you
Utah. Toilet paper limit of one or two, depending on which Costco you go to. Distilled water has been hard to find for over a month.
That cauliflower stir fry is amazing!
Ha my hubby calls it a date when we run errands together too. Really it is time together and that is why it’s fun
loved the music along with the joy and happiness in the video. I had guesses $820. In Wisconsin. Everything seems lot better stocked now then it was a couple months ago.
Yes, they have this in Tampa FL
Philadelphia Cream Cheese is so hard to find right now. I knew I was going to be using alot of cream cheese during the holidays, so I bought what I thought I would be needing for all my recipes, not overbuying so other people would be able to find cream cheese. I only use Philadelphia. Times are getting so hard and they are not going to get any easier with the way things are going. I am so glad to see your family on yt this morning, I sure needed an escape from the news. I used to not watch the news but the older I get, the more I get like my dad, but now you do not know what to believe. Wow, yall sure have alot of snow, I can not imagine getting that much snow. Thank you for posting, I enjoy your videos so much.
You 2 are so cute racing with the trolleys... Whoop whoop
Even here in British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 prices has gone up tremendously as well as cereal seems to be the hardest things to keep on the shelves in our grocery stores and toilet paper and milk are very high priced my grocery bill once a month went from 200 a month to now 280 plus a month as well as we have had floods and avalanches and mud slides wich delayed the trucks as well as other issues so glad your Costco is fully stocked
Wow great Grocery Haul!!👍🏻👍🏻Blessings from Texas and have a Wonderful Weekend!!🙏🙏❤❤
Shelves were pretty bare at Safeway on Abbott by where I live. Costco on Dimond was pretty well stocked. That was a couple of weeks ago
I freeze milk so it's usable and fresh way beyond the expiration date. Split the milk into smaller containers so it's easier to defrost.
Omg I use to work there when it was still a Sam's Club. I live in Fairbanks for 2 years, I really miss the people there.
You guys are awesome I really enjoy watching your show!!!
Texas here my hardest thing to find is chicken gatorade and we been having trouble with finding brownie mixes and pasta. For about 3 weeks there was no creamer. We just found some.
Aye! So happy to catch it before bed!!!!! Much love from NC it’s 10:23 pm here ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wilmington here!
We order online pickup, at Sam’s Club here in NC all the time. We don’t have an minimal order amount as you described that Costco imposes. My average drive up order is usually $60-$125. Supermarket prices are definitely on the rise here as well.
I always love watching the Costco trips because I hope I will see my family there. I haven't seen them yet though.
@somersinalaska....you need a “Berkey” it’s a water purification system. Two of my daughters have them and love it. Maybe your water there is purer but in the east it takes out added chemicals and if needed it even purifies river water.
I live in New York and they do have stuff at the store where they shop for you and they deliver it to your home it’s not a Costco but it’s at ShopRite stop and shop so all the big stores do have it out here. And there’s really a small limit I think $60 and up they deliver to your house and shop for you.
In Texas we have that pick up service for free at Walmart, Costco, Sam's club, small super markets, even pharmacies. Blessings.
We're in southern California and we haven't seen a shortage in our costco or grocery stores for awhile now. I did a huge costco trip a few weeks back where we easily spent $2k on supplies and such that the person at the register upgraded our membership but we don't have those bulk pick up orders available from costco . Although , I know instacart was doing costco for a bit, don't know if they still do.
I live down in Anchorage, and our Costco here is fully stocked as well! Fairbanks Costco seems to be a lot less busy than our two locations here in Anchorage! Every time I head to Costco here, it’s a mad house.
