Coffee is also great at absorbing smell. Whenever we moved, when we were young, lol, we were told to tie coffee in the refrigerator and freezer. They were always fresh as a daisy when we were ready to use them in our new home.

A fisherman friend said to put pure vanilla on a paper towel and rub it all over. It removes even the worst fish smells.

[@nicolettedorfling9788]

White vinegar is also a good item to use for bad smells🎈

[@arcticblessingfarmalaska7118]

I second the vanilla..I had a freezer go out and moose meat went bad..rubbed vanilla all over .let it sit..99.9 percent of odor was gone

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

@Deb57c & @ArcticBlessingFarmAlaska Thank you for the suggestion. I have been trying all sorts of remedies on the other cooler. Trying to find solutions other than the newspaper, just for the sake of what can I use if I don't have newsprint on hand??? So I will give this a try. I tried a banana as I had heard leaving a banana in there for a couple of days would work. It did at first, and then on day three it smelled of an old worn gym sock! 🤢

[@bettypecoraro8104]

[@brandi1719]

Wow, newspaper worked. I was about to say charcoal might work. My first cash car was 84 Subaru. It smelt like an ashtray. I put some charcoal inside the car, and it got that smell out. I'll keep that newspaper trick in mind.❤

[@johnarizona3820]

The smell is probably in the seal, at least in part. Bleach is about the best way to rid mold. Other natural elements like zinc can help kill and prevent mold. Zinc anodes are available for evaporative coolers which I have used.

[@PungoPrairie]

Wow Alone! That’s quite a hike to the grocery store! It’s only 14 miles for me. I certainly admire your ability to plan ahead for half a year and more. You truly are a modern day Pioneer Woman! Love it!

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Hi Bill! I would never have thought that I would drive hundreds of miles just to save a buck! 😂 I used to tease my friends for shopping at multiple stores each week just to the sale items. And those stores were just across the street from each other. Now look at me!!! 😳 Kharma! 🤣 Thank goodness I know what I like to eat, or I would have a pantry full of random things that never look appetizing. Too bad the "Pioneer Woman" has been trademarked, or I would have probably chosen that for my channel name. 😉 💛

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

best thing for removing smell is calcium blocks coming like hockey pucks I had I had left the burner on with pasta in it Forgot all about it Come home after the coffee shop whole bus with black the smoke burning pasta on a propane burning stove so wash down the bus the best I could got all the black off but it's still stunk really bad Put in four calcium blocks to every smell of the burnt right out of the bus never thought it would ever smell clean again But it did based

[@MyAlaska12]

I was hoping for some live action video of shopping but was disappointed. ha ha ha just kidding. That is pretty cool the news paper worked for you.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I know that would have just been so riveting! Too much for KZbin so I decided to tame it down a bit! 🤣 The newspaper thing was a total shock! Glad it worked too, or the Yeti was doomed! 😉

[@shawneeb3771]

Your prices are a little higher than here in Florida, but not as different as I thought they would be. I don't know how I would fair in Alaska I am a fresh vegetable person and I do eat meat, but not a lot. You are amazing living there alone and you do very well. Thank you for sharing all your advice and tips.

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Awesome ! we all have to eat and learn to budget so we don't have so much waste, I love the way you explain everything with detail & yes it don't matter where you live or what you buy you just have to shop around, or learn how to grow it and preserve it, Your videos are always enjoyable :)

[@cindycarroll104]

Hi Alone you live like the Amish people. I love it, its very beautiful and its how you want to live. Once again my parents had two hugh freezers as well plus one bedroom that my daddy built racks to hold alot of can foods. Plus they bought a pallet of water. As they would say stock up always because you never know what can happen down the road. To me your doing great Alone. God bless 🙏 and keep your videos coming. Take care 🙂 ❤

[@judithbutler9695]

I find your life brave and fascinating 🌟👊🏻

[@josefaortiz1728]

The carbon in the newsprint ink i believe absorbs the odors. Love,the flowers. Great grocery haul. Beautiful scenery while driving. Until next time stay safe healthy warm. Great neighbors.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Hi Josefa! I think you might be correct about why the newsprint worked so well. I tried some other methods in the other cooler and the effects did not last as long. For only having a small portion of space available to me for this haul, I was pleasantly surprised by everything that I was able to get. More to come in a couple of weeks. 🤗💛

[@tracymorrison1584]

charcoal works well for removing the nasty smells; place it on newspaper in cooler and close the lid. Works awesome

[@MicheleJefferyMurphy]

And if you had gone just a tad further to Anchorage we don't have any sales tax

[@summerbreeze1955]

Wow amazing that you are a lone ranger with your lovely pooch in the wilderness. It takes some stoicism to be in that terrain, spectacular scenery. I am an ethical Vegan UK Hedgewitch live in semi rural area, but amenities are near by, I love animals and nature and love vegan cookery. Plant foods for me never spoil and go on forever. I guess if you have a power failure you could cobble up a freezer for your stuff outside? luv n light x ps TIP - once those rose petals drop off you can infuse them in distilled water for 2 months strain off and you have a lovely beauty rose water toner!

[@MountainMariner]

MaryKate On & Off Hull & Bottom Cleaner will remove the stains on your Yeti cooler. (Oxalic acid)

Eggs in Glennallen were crazy. Whenever I think about stocking up and food that preserves easy, as well as health food I think of rice.😊

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I have so much rice and dried beans that I won't have to buy any for quite some time! But yeah those egg prices in Glennallen would be enough to convince anyone to raise their own chickens!! 😳

[@RaisedinAlaska]

@@AloneinRemoteAlaska Is that a plan of yours: chickens.?

[@linannskillings5050]

I seriously love your bloopers please make a video of them,,no not making fun of you personally,but bloopers r funny, TY wow i thought my state of maine was food expensive, tou beat us..

[@joanplavier486]

HI Alone. I guess it pays off to road trip with a neighbor outside of your local area, but still so expensive. Thank you for the newspaper tip! Other use for ginger ale; 1) you can soak a ham in ginger ale for 4 hours before baking to draw out salt or 2) depending on the size of your ham, a half to 3/4 cup poured over the ham mid-baking time adds a touch of sweetness and draw out salt. Latter is something my Mom did and I still do. Hope all is well, hugs for Kenai!

[@sorij3560]

How nice to have a friend to travel along with.

[@barbraallbritton4222]

Love to get that recipe for the Roquefort salad dressing! My Mother made a great one I’ve been trying to duplicate. Great grocery haul and those roses really are beautiful. Thank you to the person who sent those pedal extenders. Blessings and much Aloha from Oregon❤

[@nancyshrout-wankowski7147]

For the next cooler, trying crumpling the newspaper into balls, baseball sized, throwing them in and then closing the lid for about a week. You can use the newspaper inserts/ads along with the newspaper balls, as long as they are not glossy paper.

[@curmudgeinnak]

Our first trip to Costco we thought we spent more than we did. Walking up to the register we started taking bets in how much went spent. We both went wayyyy over what we actually paid. We tend to go to Wasilla before going to Anchorage. The savings in fuel over comes the cost of the food. Great Video.

[@curmudgeinnak]

@My Cancer Journey I will check out your channel. What or how are they treating the cancer?

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

I think the comment was deleted by KZbin as spam, even though her story is real. But the comment was posted multiple times on the video.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Hi Rob & Sarah! Last fall, I had it planned out in advance what I thought it was going to cost me. I was just slightly over budget. Wasilla is definitely the best option for me. Others have suggested that I go to Anchorage so I don't pay tax, but last I checked there isn't tax on groceries, unless you are buying prepared items, like a rotisserie chicken or deli dishes. And while fuel to get to Wasilla/Palmer is a bit costly, I always make sure to hit as many errands on my list as possible when I go. 🤗💛

[@denisescull4227]

Those roses were absolutely gorgeous, what a way to brighten up the cabin. Girl, those grocery prices gave me heart palpitations. In a suburb of Dallas, we pay $2.49 for that same butter when it goes on sale about once a month or so. The price differences in the different towns were shocking too and I would jump at the chance to go with a neighbor to save on costs. The creepy camera equipment that follows you around has really been an upgrade and makes a big difference. Only kind of kidding about the camera being creepy. Thanks for taking us on a beautiful ride and sharing so many tips and tricks. Who knew that newspaper would work in the cooler. I thought about the charcoal, but now you can save it for a bbq. Sending good vibes for the job hunt and thanks again!

[@originalsixx]

Stunning scenic drive, wish my view to get groceries looked that awesome! 😂 Those prices tho, yikes. A lot more expensive there than here but I expected that. Looking forward to the blue cheese dressing recipe. Loved your roses too! 😉 Talk to ya on the next live. Tiff

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Hi Tiff! The drive to the Mat-Su valley never gets old. Yeah the cost of groceries here is shocking! At first I thought it was comparable to Colorado but things have become way more expensive in the last year. I will get the blue cheese recipe filmed and uploaded in the near future. I hope you enjoy it and will make some for yourself. If you do, let me know how you like it. The roses won me over with their amazing aroma as soon as I walked in the store. And really help to make it feel like spring in the cabin. 😊💛

I'm totally with you on the roses, fresh produce, which was so nice to see you get and the ginger ale. I definitely need carbonation or a ginger tea to help my crazy stomach issues. I'd love to see the blu cheese dressing recipe video. Also, I loved your dress and cardigan. 👍💖

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Hi Lauri! The prices in Alaska are all over the map! No pun intended. It is cheaper to shop in Valdez or even Fairbanks than it is in Glennallen, and when I saw things were less expensive in Barrow, which can only be reached by ship or plane, I was shocked! 😳 Those roses won me over as soon as I walked in the door! They are so fragrant and the colors just popped! My mom always had ginger ale or 7-Up on hand for when we got an upset stomach as a kid. I figured I should probably have some on hand too. You just never know when you might need it. I will get the blue cheese dressing recipe posted soon. Thanks for the compliment on the dress and cardigan. The dress is super comfy and I do love me a good sweater. 🤗💛

[@chipmirror7236]

I really enjoyed the views on you shopping trip. Amazed that the news paper trick worked, definitely going to remember that one.

[@laurier7460]

Still binge watching your vlogs from the beginning. :) But the blue cheese dressing recipe peeked my interest as we love it. Also, you should really try doing some shopping at Costco. I think price wise and to buy in bulk...its gotta be a bit cheaper. Both Fairbanks and Anchorage have a Costco. I do not live in Alaska but because i am so much like you and always wanted to live off grid in Alaska, we have settled for just visiting a few times a year. We are huge aurora fans also. Here in MN its much like Alaska accept our winters have been much warmer...and much less snow if any, which is odd. thanks for the vlogs..

Interesting price comparisons. Hadn’t heard of the newsprint trick, cool! 😮

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Who would have ever thought that Barrow would be less expensive than Glennallen! Super happy the newsprint worked on the cooler. I was afraid the Yeti was ruined. 😳

[@thelonemoose4718]

Howdy Allie!! Yeah, looking at those price comparisons, I think I'd be driving to Wasilla for my big grocery hauls! Except for me in Ninilchik it would be 3 Bears mini-store there, or go up to Soldotna (45 minutes) where there is a big 3 Bears, Fred Meyers, and Safeway. But then again, I'm just a driving fool... or maybe just a plain old fool!! lol.

[@AloneinRemoteAlaska]

Howdy Partner! Glennallen is too pricy for my moth ridden pocketbook! I love the 3 bears stores, whether it is the convenience store or their lager grocery stores. I did hear that they have taken on a corporate sponsor and that they have changed a bit since I have been in one but hoping that they still have a good selection and quality, not to mention that I hope they don't lose that small town store feel. You know what they say about fools, right? Takes one to know one! 😉

[@thelonemoose4718]

@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I get the weekly sales flier from 3 Bears via email. It's surprising to me that some of the advertised prices are so much lower than down here in south Texas! I hope nothing changes with 3 Bears as well, I like the mini-store in Ninilchik for quick stuff, and the main store in Soldotna for most of my other shopping (when I'm up there that is... lol), and get some stuff from Freddy's in Soldotna. I know Sean works for Safeway, but I've just never been a real fan of their stores or selection. I have gotten some really good feedback on the Alaska house plan, people are so eager and willing to share their thoughts and suggestions... it's NICE!! And what exactly are you saying regarding "takes one to know one"??? LOL!!! I know I'm one, so does that imply you too are a fool for knowing I'm one??? LOL...
