Thanks for all the comments. Definitely some food for thought for sure. Thanks again.
I would pay those prices any day. The vegetables looks really good bright and vibrant.
+DrakkinXAI We have good choices in Anchorage compared to most other places in the state. Thanks for the comment and take care.
the produce looks very fresh and lovely, thanks for taking the time to show me around
some of the veg/fruit look expensive but I guess your so isolated it would be.
Living in London UK I like to armchair travel
Thanks for the nice comment. Many of my in laws live in the UK. We visited a few years ago and had a nice time. take care.
Depends on time of year for produce. Always cheaper in the fall and this vid was done in October of 2012. Prices are usually highest in the winter. But still reasonable. Impressed with produce section; well stocked and very clean.
+Tarn Sand Good point about the cost of product during different parts of the year. Thanks for the comment and take care.
i work in produce and all i can say is some of the greens are cheeper and fruit as well....but im surprised that pumkin are cheap in alaska over here in nj/nyc is like 5 bucks each or if its on sale is like 2 for $10
+Vector Anttii Thanks for the comment and information. Take care.
Beautiful thing, all those lovely fresh fruits and vegetables.
Best food.
I agree, Nature's bounty.
Price is not that bad now compare to a decade or 2 ago. A little more expensive than most inland states but most of them are "okay" price tags. How about the price in seafood, salmons in particular (my favorite)? Competition is what drive the price down a bit. How is other living expenses in Anchorage AK (rent, housing price, clothing, tax, etc)? How much do you make an hour on average working in say McDonald? Thanks
It's a large mega retail in Mi., Indiana and Kentucky.
Ok, thanks for the information. Take care.
Very nice
I agree. Anchorage probably has the closest lower 48 (rest of the US not including Hawaii) prices in Alaska. Much higher in the southeast and interior. Extremely high in the remote villages.
Where they locate very nice 👍
The prices are close to Jacksonville Florida... the greens (Swiss chard, etc you showed) was cheaper than the greens available in Publix here and the ones that are usually available are NOT ORGANIC. The ones that you showed were organic. I hate Florida. lol
Thanks for the comment and information. Every winter I start looking at warmer places to live and Florida is on the list. It might be a bit too crowded for me though. After living in Alaska for a while I'm not a big fan of the larger cities/states. Thanks again and take care.
Tasty Drinks Florida is not a shit hole there is a lot of amazing beaches and springs here and some of the best fishing in the world you must live in the ghetto
@@gonefishing9023 be honest , many parts , country parts too are awful. if you compare it to alaska, but it also has its good points. I live near Milton fla, a 5th rate mess but growing with no plans or coordinated intelligence, so its an awful mess but it is much cheaper for taxes and for now, you can pretty much build anything if you have an architect and if i could afford it which i cant right now, i would build an earth sheltered home, it is very wooded with some rolling not quite hills but we do what we can. but if the wealth of a country is in its people, well, its meth land , all corrupt, recent mayor recently arrested for stealing nearly a million from United way over a few years, etc. and mostly less than average intelligence resulting in ciggie butts everywhere and no refreshing alaska type people to have any sort on convo with. I cant handle cold so this is my compromise and it will lhave to do.
Everyone says how the prices are so much higher in Alaska, but truthfully, most of what you showed, I paid the same in Maine. The apples were a bit higher, corn was just a tiny bit higher, but the potatoes were way cheaper...which is crazy cause Maine has potato farms. Store looks a lot nicer than many stores in Maine, so that's nice to see. Course, I looked at prices in Barrow just to see....holy cripes...how do people eat in Barrow?!?!
+SerenityGamesToo I haven't been to Barrow but I know just about everything (rent, utilities, food, etc.) is expensive. People see the good paying jobs in the remote areas but don't realize how expensive it is to live there.
if you think about it though, states in the upper part of the U.S are expensive which explains why Maine, New York, Alaska (etc) are expensive and can relate to each other..
What are some of the furniture stores in Alaska. Where are the best places to shop?🤷♀️🤷♀️
Baileys and Ashleys are two of the bigger stores. Costco has some good prices on items but of course not as wide of a selection. I was just in Costco today and they had several furniture items.
The store is beautiful
Thank you for video.
You are welcome, I appreciate the comment and take care.
It's Frederick Meijers....in Alaska?
Guess I don't get the joke.
I wonder if all the vegetables and fruits are sold out?
Not sure, we don't buy much ice with being in Alaska. I'll check next time I go to the store and let you know.
Most of these prices aren't really out of the ordinary. I'm guessing Anchorage is pretty temperate in it's pricing.
The store looks very clean and well stocked. The prices are not bad at all, for being in Alaska. I know most everything cost more there. I don't know what time of day this is in the video. The store seems very empty, compared to other Walmarts I have been in. I don't see all the trash types I see in much of the USA.
+brazil5657 The prices in Anchorage are usually the cheapest in the state as we have air, land and water transportation. If you go into the remote villages then of course the prices sky rocket. As I recall the video was done in the early morning so that's why there aren't many people. Thanks for the comment and take care.
Good prices very reasonable ...
Vegetables prices when not on sale are much much higher here in Québec Canada!
How much for a bag of ice?
Damn, those bananas are about a 100% markup, compared to where I live.
Prices are a little higher on some items than the lower 48; but no where near as bad as I would have expected. I lived in the Fairbanks are in the mid to late 1970s, and at that time the difference in prices with other places in the U S was shocking.
Thanks for the comment. Anchorage prices are probably the cheapest in Alaska with most of the stuff being shipped on barges. Prices were probably higher in Fairbanks because of the oil pipeline boom in the 1970s. Take care.
the prices are better then maine
Pineapples 2 for three dollars is pretty good?
jedediahbc That sounds good to me.
+jedediahbc Here in Ny state you pay 3 bucks just for one pineapple
I used to live in Hawaii. Those pinapples look pretty small and green to me.
In my home town you will get a pair for 50 cents only.
There are a very big pumpkins:)) Today is Pumpkin's day 31-10-2012. it is interesting how much is the price for such big pumpkins? With best regards Dmitriy
Yea,those are anchorage prices,not representative of the whole state!
جميل
Some of the produce is cheaper in Alaska then what I pay in Nevada.
We're fortunate in Anchorage there are several grocery stores that compete and help to keep some prices down. Take care.
The prices aren't really that bad. Its more like shopping at Whole Foods Market, where prices are insane.
Anchorage benefits from being on the barge route and having competition among several stores. Thanks for the comment and take care.
Baby its cold out there!!
Fred Meyers isn't really a supermarket, its literally like a Walmart, or raileys....
almost the same in New York city
some prices are similar to NY
Alot of that stuff is actually cheaper up there than in south Carolina. I'm rather shocked. I've always heard horror stories of milk and food prices.
Travis Britt Anchorage is probably the exception with being the largest city and getting a lot of stuff via barge. Interior communities do see the higher prices.
not bad
Lol apples appear to be expensive though.
Ohh and pineapples and orangages can easily be grown inside :D
I thought its was prices it cost more in albert to buy those items
jeff sands Yes you never know. Could be the time of year here as well. I plan to record some more videos of summer produce prices in the next couple of weeks. Take care.
After seeing the prices in Barrow and Inuvik, everything in Anchorage seems like a freaking bargain.
Ha! You should see our watermelons! 10 BUCKS per watermelon!
Wish my supermarket was this empty of people, where i come from you cant even walk down an aisle without bumping into someone
Our apples in Tennessee right now is .99 cents a pound, your only twice as much as we are at the moment!
jedediahbc If we get twice the pay I guess it might equal out. I'm originally from Missouri and remember cheaper prices there as well. Thanks for the comment.
Me muero de yegar en alaska,,,,uuufff Que pena
Damn it even Alaska has a better variety than me.
back in the 70's they made/built that oil Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. we have modern tech now plus modern tunnel boring machines and so on .....
put those Unimogs to work. ship everything hydraulic there. put people to work IN AMERICA.
Prices there aren't much more then here in Washington from the looks of it. I know it is much worse in other areas up there.
Thanks for the comment. Anchorage has the lowest prices in Alaska but still interesting to see the difference or lack there of compared to other locales. Take care.
Look at the amount ppl there none. Wow...
+ray bon Part of the reason is I recorded this in the early morning. It can get pretty busy in the afternoon/evening and especially the weekend. Thanks for the comment and take care.
things are so expensive bcoz of Transportation...
they need more ma & pa small family general store businesses in Alaska , = they need more industries there to diversify there state economy and not so much import things from the continuous 48 states. make as much as you can there.
I don't see anything wrong with them prices. Come to Bucks County PA. and you will run back to them prices. Damm, Alaskas got me thinking......
corporations are taking advantage of Alaskans. they could drop the prices of everything shipped to Alaska. use everything alternative/renewables energy.
looks like inside a Walmart.
and 1 lb is more than 1 kg, so its much more cheap.
Good to hear some things are cheaper here. We get used to paying higher prices for most everything.
2.2lbs to 1kg actually
Alaska looks like a great place to live but I'm thanking god I live where all this stuff grows
+Mike Waisnor Very good point. Alaska has been good for my family but I think I'll look somewhere else (warmer) for retirement. Thanks for the comment and take care.
Mike Waisnor -cold most of the year, long periods of darkness, isolation. Can't swim in the lakes, walk the trails and watch out for bears. Yeah nice place to live. Oh yes, cost of living sky high
Its cheaper than Long Island lol
Mic GG Glad to hear some things are cheaper up here. Thanks for the comment and take care.
Мда... химия. Есть это нельзя...
Walmartio
ЦЕНЫ МЕНЬШЕ ЧЕМ В МАРКЕТАХ МОСКВЫ
тут цены за фунт веса ,а не за килограм
Генно модифицированные продукты одни
И гмо к тому же
made me dizzy watching this crap plus the prices aren't much different than in Alabama on the veggies its mostly imported like every thing else.....oh its also dec 2017 every thing has gone up an the industries are now starving people because the damn foods are outrageously priced.........thanks trump........
Thanks for the comment.
Do your research. ...trump has nothing to do with the profit margine of stores
We practically got the same prices here in the Netherlands but then in Euro, so this store is actually cheaper then a supermarket here in Europe, so stop bitching.
Prices are all relative right? So stop bitching.
Super cheap
Cheap compared to?
Alaska John, compared to where I'm from island of Guam
Produce here compared to those prices where your at. That's considered cheap.
Guam is probably like Hawaii where lots of things have to be flown in. How expensive is housing costs there?
Alaska John, it depends on the area one is looking into, alot of condos have been built and areaa of million dollar units basic rentals here fir 2 bedrooms run 800 and up home rentals average 1100. Depending again on the area. I heard though Hawaii is more pricey than Guam.
ha ha in australia banana 7 doller per kg
Wow, those are some expensive bananas. I'd expect them to be cheaper. Thanks for the comment and take care.
no need for high prices! build a world infrastructure : freeways, freight trains modern commercial ports connecting ALL OF ALASKA. That should drop the prices down so the common person would be able to afford.
They should use to state oil money/fund to build all of this - this is plain stupid = in America? Germany would have done this 100 years ago. do not say it is not possible. they built the primitive Al-Can highway.
agent -wacko
