In france, the sour cream is called crème fraîche ... I did my food shopping today for the next 2 weeks, it's amazing how the prices went up again. For Xmas and new year we have a korean BBQ which is less expensive that the traditional meals you eat here ( a turkey of 4 pounds costs about 40 euros here, a capon nearly 50 euros ). I was amazed when I saw 800 gr of ground beef at 11 euros. Be blessed and big hugs from france

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Sounds so amazing

[@beverlygiroux2824]

Hi Jessica and Kodie, I would say you both had a wonderful day of shopping. It’s so fun when there are two of you. I feel the same way when Patty accompanies me. One to push the buggy, and the other to pick up the item. I don’t use sour cream, have never had it. Our weather report for the upcoming Christmas weekend has changed! It was reported that we would get f-f-freezing temps and bad snowfall. For 2 evening reports, they are saying lots of rain and low 50 degrees! Boy, I’ll take it. My electric bill hiked up $60 this past bill….yikes! Another hit to my budget. I guessed $350 on your groceries….only because I follow a couple other families in Alaska, and have watched them at Costco. Today I hit Walmart, got choc. And white chips, choc. And white bark, peppermint candies…..yup, am going to make peppermint bark. Patty. Made the pretzels and Rolos the other day. She doesn’t care for walnuts, so omitted them. Actually she left them in oven too long and Rolos got runny. Boy, they are hard now, but now problem chowing them down. Tomorrow (Tuesday) I will be cooking most of day. Hope I can get lots done. Had to quit around 4 today, knees just couldn’t hold me up any longer. It’s 12:41 a.m., EST, and my knees are still throbbing. It will be awhile before I sleep tonight. Hope all is well with you….I pray for your health, my friend. Much love sent your way, BEV IN MAINE

Hi Bev. Sounds like you have a busy few days baking ahead of you. I hope all your tasty treats turn out really well. 🎅🍬🎄📯👍 I have passed information on to others who may benefit from it as it helped me. For years I have used a magnetic copper bracelet and also taken glucosamine supplements (2000 mg) to ease knee pain. You don't have to use both, but you can, and I do,....as long as you don't have a pacemaker and your doctor says its OK. In the UK both are easily found in health food shops and drug stores... you can order online in the US, I'm sure. The copper bracelets can be researched online...there are many health benefits to wearing them (our great grand parents wore them in Europe). Its cost effective, nonsurgical, homeopathic remedies...try for 2-3 months....if it works, GREAT, but with all things homeopathic, it doesn't always work for everyone. I will always try to share this info to help someone who is living with pain. Have a wonderful Christmas , Happy Holidays 🎄 😊 ❤ God Bless and take care. Paula 🇬🇧 PS . If I can help with any questions please ask and I'll do all I can to answer for you. 💖

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh Bev stay safe for me!!! Hope you and your daughter have a beautiful safe warm Christmas

[@mikalasimpson7789]

In the UK we don't get as much in our packages of food, but pay the same price as you. I bought 4 chillies that cost £1.70. I could not afford to buy as much as you bought. Your advice has me stocked up still for another month. Thank you so much, your a darling.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh no that’s no good. Thank you for watching

I did not know to check for salt and sugar content in the frozen vegetables packages. So good to know!!!

Merry Christmas shopping to you! That was fun! Due to physical limitations, beyond my control, these days I am shopping from my home, even groceries. But I still get’er done!! So being out in the hustle and bustle with you was appreciated by this old goat! Today is the day I call it done…..even if it isn’t!! After our housekeeper leaves tomorrow, I want only soft Christmas music playing through the house and the smell of mulled wine coming from a crockpot!! Fingers crossed, we are expecting a Christmas storm starting 12-23! We are celebrating with our children and grandchildren that day, 2 hours away!! My motto is: if it doesn’t kill us, it will just make us stronger!! Love you and see you in our next visit!! 😘❤️🎄🤶 Momma G

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh I’m with you! I finished yesterday! No more leaving the house until after Christmas if I can help it! Many blessing much love and a great big bear hug to you!!!

Great vlog ,Thank you for sharing. A Lot of people go overboard-crazy buying things for christmas, Things that they dont really need or dont use through out the year .People over fill there shopping trolleys -shopping carts with stuff that will just get thrown in the bin - Trash, Stay safe , stay well

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you. We try and stay on a very tight Christmas budget. We have done it for a long time. This year was the first time in over 10 years we increased the budget. Only because I couldn’t get a basic one item for the old budget. The kids truly just get 1 pajamas, 1 bigger item and a few things in the stocking. That’s it. I get Aaron 1 thing and he gets me 1 thing. That’s all.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

By bigger item it had to be $100 usd or less!

[@gillgallon9631]

@@modernhomesteadalaska Hey girl, i bet they love and Appreciate everything, they know how expensive things are and know just how hard you and Aaron work to bring to everything to the table..Just by you doing your youtube channel is hard work, because you have to think of Content and keep the views coming in Even if it was a Stick of candy they would be thankful they know all the money in the world cannot Buy the love you and Aaron give them It`s priceless ❤

Hi Jessica, Kodie and sweet family! I know how crazy it is shopping right now. I went today and I’m taking my brother tomorrow. My brother is disabled. I wish I could go shopping with my momma again, she is 82 and just not able to go much anymore. I figured about $350.00 for Costco, everything is so expensive anymore. I’m glad you and Kodie had a wonderful ladies dinner together. Olive Garden is my youngest daughter’s favorite restaurant. We go for the delicious soup too. I hope you all have a blessed night and day tomorrow!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh wonderful happy shopping! Love the soup!

Our Costco bill is generally about $250. In Alberta Canada . But we are done shopping and baking for Christmas . For myself everything is gluten free and sugar free. My son arrives tomorrow from BC for Christmas have not seen for over two years . So excited . It was wonderful shopping with you . As my husband does our shopping . Too hard for me . Have a great day 🙏🕊🙏☃️🎄❄️✨🔔🇨🇦

Good deal on the goat cheese 🧀 it’s $4.99 for 1/2 the size of one of the sticks you got here in NC at food lion!! It’s sold in the deli with the fancy cheeses! 😮

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh great good to know!

[@anciskold541]

Sourcream is gräddfil in Swedish. Often we use Creme Fraiche instead of gräddfil. But for christmas I always use gräddfil when I'm making Senapssill. That's "mustard herring" in translation. It's a pickled herring in a sauce/dressing with gräddfil, mustard, sugar, white vine vinegar, oil, dill (greens not seeds) and finely chopped pickled cucumber. It's my grandma's recipe and it was the only thing me and my ex husband fought about at the divorce. I refused for several years to give him the recipe - but I made him and his new woman a large batch of Senapssill each christmas. 😂 After some years I gave him the recipe and this year we'll spend christmas eve (that's when we celebrate christmas in Sweden) together. We have been blessed with our first grandchild and all of us grandparents will be where Helmer is. His maternal grandparents are also divorced so it might get interesting. 😂 And I'll am tasked to bring...tadaaa... Senapssill! 😂 With gräddfil!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

I love that you shared all of this with me! Thank you!

Awesomeness. You got it for cheap! That’s how much it costs here. There were two or three items (Milk) that was more. The eggs 🥚 were cheaper. Prayers said for y’all as you start to win this battle. Hugs

Those Greek breads are amazing 🤩

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Yummy!

[@sheilabutcher776]

I may sound strange but when on holiday I make sure I go to local supermarkets . It is a great way of not only comparing prices but cultural food choices. I have to say we are are going through a real issue with inflation here in the UK but our prices are way below what you guys are paying. Our inflation rates is currently 10.5% this year. 😍

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh my goodness it’s so high I wonder if it will ever come back down

[@KimClark61]

That is not strange! When I travel I too go to the local supermarkets. My favorite was in France.

[@ShannonLivesey]

Hey Jessica! I love your excitement over your cards! I hope mine made it as it comes with a huge hug 🫂! Costco here doesn't have as much as yours does but I still manage to drop around 250-300 per visit..lol. we have sour cream here and it's amazing with so many dishes. 😋 I hope you two enjoyed your day and especially your lovely dinner at Olive garden. My mom, sis, daughter and I love the soup, salad and breadsticks, with a large side of Alfredo for dipping is the best girls day lunch. Produce is crazy priced right now. Costco green grapes.. 11.99 ! Yikes!! Ah well. Great vlog! Take good care. 🙏💜😊 Blessings ☃️🎄

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh so excited! I love the cards!

Hi sweet one! Of course, I want to shop with you and Kodie!!! I love to do to Costco. I find lots of clothes and gifts there...really nice! I see you got the zebra popcorn. I bought that last week and could NOT stop eating it! Bad for me, but it was delicious!!! Now I want to see the Pj's!!! Have a wonderful week, my friend! Big hugs and many blessings!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you oh my that popcorn is only out at Christmas! I seriously love it! You can’t stop once it’s done it’s done.

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

I got really close on my guess, too. I think yours is a little bit more expensive than here in western Washington, but we have sales tax so at the end of the day it’s very similar. I think your gasoline might be cheaper right now. Fun mother daughter shopping day! Happy upcoming Birthday to Caleb. Congratulations on last night to Wyatt! I know he was a little disappointed but second place at state as a junior sounds great me. He’s going to rule it next year!

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

P.s I am planning on splurging on crab, probably Dungeness, for my Christmas, too. 😀. Being alone, it doesn’t make sense to me to spend all day cooking a large meal that will be wasteful and I can spend less money and treat myself to crab instead. Traditional Hoppin’ John, greens, and cornbread for New Year’s, though 😀.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Good work! Thank you sooo very very much

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Amen to that

[@auntrowdy7392]

I can’t believe that butter is cheaper in Alaska Costco than it is in Texas. We pay $17.89 here. Although, Aldi had it on sale before thanksgiving for $2.49 a pound so I stocked up and bought 30 pounds.

I’m late in watching this. But, great grocery haul! I love grocery hauls. I just love seeing what others buy or hearing what they’re going to do with it. I think your total was pretty average for Costco. We don’t have any big box store near us. About 2 1/2 hrs away. But, if my sister comes down here from South Dakota she will stop & grab me some bulk items I can’t get in that quantity around here, except if I order from Amazon & pay more. Thanks for showing us your haul!😊

Your Costco prices are higher than Sam's Club in Dallas on some things, like the tortillas and bread but similar on others. I was shocked at the price you paid for pecans. They are much cheaper by a couple of dollars a pound there than here and they GROW here! Thanks for bringing us along!

When he opened them Christmas Day the bottoms were dirty.....Scott (my brother) had carefully pulled back the tape and had been wearing them everyday for two weeks! Christmas Eve he got up in the middle of the night and put the shoes back in the box. My mom was fit to be tied...she was cussing and a whole lot more on that Christmas morning...she told him she was going to take them back to the store....he smiled and said you can't- they've been worn...Kid never knew when to keep his mouth shut...He got an arse whooping that Christmas Day...lol

Oh yes I know in the us but in other countries I realized they don’t have what we have. They might have some thing similar only about 50% of those that watch are in the US

We don't have souer cream. The closest we have is cream franchise. I live in Denmark.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Nice I love learning what’s in other countries

[@SaraM86]

@@modernhomesteadalaska a lot of thing are difrents here. I saw you had whip cream in a can. We can get it here. But normally we whip our own. Without sugar. Something like cool whip we don't have. Ore I have never seen it. I was born near the German boarder and just the difrents between Denmark of Germany is great.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

@@SaraM86 that’s so cool I like it in the can only because that one has no sugar. Cool whip is oil. But it’s so good! Bad for you but good.

I feel like our Costco has comparable prices here in CA. $450 seems to be our normal price range sadly😂. I’m curious what your gas prices are like now? Ours has dropped down into the $3 range finally.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Could be I hear lots of Costco are similar no matter the location
