Alaska Walmart Shopping Trip With A GoPro Camera

This will be truly boring for most folks unless you're interested in Walmart and/or GoPro Camera quality. If nothing else you can see some prices from an Anchorage Alaska Walmart. I used my GoPro 2 HD Hero camera on a chest mount with a 1080p 30fps setting.

When I miss America this video makes me feel happy. Thank you for posting it.

[@CptSchmidt]

14:49... I used to work in retail and couldn't stand it when people messed up a shelf and wouldn't take that two seconds to put something back the way they found it.

[@nathantweddle6480]

Wish we had something as big as that in the UK

[@Sam-sp3nc]

Id live there

[@biskeetreos2850]

In the U.S.A there is walmarts way bigger than that

[@biskeetreos2850]

And packed with people

[@jaykayidaho404]

The U.K. can't be that bad right?

[@ellagoldie9686]

You can spend easy two hours in there browsing lol. It's fun 😄

[@Maddawwg45]

cool to see your prices aren't much different then here in Oklahoma were I live I suppose it would be more depending on were ya live ic a lot of comments on how produce is cheaper then in the town they live in were itws packaged but it might be the same reason we pay 40 cents more for gasoline then further up north and my town has a big refinery in it and theres another not 35 miles from us so go figure lol any ways thanks for the video its very interesting

[@barbaraanderson384]

The Walmart in South Anchorage, nice store Marty Howard was the person in charge of that Store and the person who trained me was Named Emily.

[@AlaskaJohn]

Ok, thanks for the info. Take care.

[@9965paul]

Nice camera. Excellent picture quality!

[@jfree1998]

NOTE to all you lower 48ers, ANCHORAGE prices do not reflect the majority of Alaska, unless you live in Anchorage you are paying about twice the price because all shipments go to Anchorage then to final destinations. Also the only produce that is cheaper is from foreign countries that may use harmful pesticides.

[@AlaskaJohn]

Which part of California? Just about all of our produce had to be shipped up, surprised we have cheaper prices on some items.

[@tomas6451]

We live in Calif, most of your prices were the same and some produce was cheaper than here.

[@mrmohammedali4974]

good work mate keep it up i enjoy waching

[@AlaskaJohn]

Thanks.

[@shel12711]

Is this the Walmart at the Dimond Mall? I enjoyed your video, i lived in Anchorage in 2011/2012, its a great place, i shopped at the Dimond Walmart many times. Thanks for posting this video.

[@AlaskaJohn]

shel12711 You're right, it's the Walmart near Old Seward & Dimond. I live not too far from there. There is also the Walmart in midtown and a new one near Muldoon & Debarr. Thanks for the comment and take care.

[@sebastianurbas7699]

This Walmart store looks nearly completely the same like the ones we had in Germany from 1997 - 2006. Even the shelves and how they are stocked looked the same. The Walmart stores in Germany were a little bit smaller. But what is great on this place? The stores looks like a shoddy warehouse. Nothing is neatly decorated, Everything looks so plain. I have once bought freezer bags from their store brand Great Value. They were the crappiest freezer bags I have ever seen, so flimsy. Walmart in Germany was a completely disaster. After the 9 years they left Germany. It's estimated that they have made 3 billions Euro's loss during this time. I can't understand why Walmart is so successful in the U.S.

[@MatchCard]

Sebastian Urbas Well I don't speak for all Americans but generally I would say we don't care about how nice a store looks as long as we can get cheap prices. There are a lot more people in the US and we need things quick, cheap, and in bulk to feed all the people.

[@italoeliasvernizi9906]

Great job!!

[@JarrodArencibia]

I watch a lot of these videos I done some myself but the GoPro is on the head strap.

[@themacz1671]

💪💪💪💪💪thats awesome being able to have store for yourselves sweeeet

[@cdfgh1111]

Thank G-- for the women in our lives that are willing to over look the geek in many of us and sometimes even grow fond if not amused .

[@seanrichey3500]

how do prices compare to Fairbanks walmart?

[@tomas6451]

When was this filmed? If its winter then our prices will be high since the growers move their operations to Arizona. You may also have Mexican produce which is much cheaper than ours. Was cool to see though.

[@groofoot]

OMG it is so quiet and serene!! Holy moses. At Walmart here in Illinois, I can get a jar of Ragu for $1.68 ... and a box of Creamette spaghetti for 99 cents .... a box of Frosted Krispies is $2.86 ... how does that compare to Anchorage? Please respond. :)

[@ellagoldie9686]

Lol...u practically have the store to yourself. What hour did you shop?

[@tomas6451]

I'm in salinas, which is the lettuce and broccoli capital of the world. All major salads and strawberries too are packaged here. So was odd when I saw your prices.

[@RayVal53]

Hey John, question... What is that piñata looking thing at the bottom right hand at 10:43? Were just wondering.

[@AlaskaJohn]

RayVal53 At the extreme right are some stuffed animals. Those are pinatas just to the left of the stuffed animals. It was in the party section where they sell birthday decorations, etc.

[@AlaskaJohn]

Prices are probably comparable here in Anchorage. Anchorage has the cheapest prices in Alaska being the biggest city and on the coast.

[@airforce262able]

so many guns on that rack CX that's awsome here in Cali🌴 shits on lock down Lol lucky you

[@talashk615]

ASDA is better than walmart in many ways. Prices are cheap and more variety. Walmart looks like a food pantry, things are less organized and strewn everywhere.

[@AlaskaJohn]

I haven't heard of ASDA before. I'll have to google it.

[@sebastianurbas7699]

greenwormsoup ASDA is a grocery chain in the UK, but it's owned by Walmart.

[@HassanAli-hh9qm]

I am in love with alaska

[@AlaskaJohn]

+Hassan Ali Alaska is a nice place indeed. Take care.

[@540serginho]

Realy, realy nice !!

[@AlaskaJohn]

+Sergio Jose Da Silva Thanks.

[@SuperBlobsterMan]

The Walmart on dimond just put in a self check-out. It's faster but I feel bad for the cashiers because its a tougher job managing self checkout and many of them may lose their jobs.

[@TheMugiwara007]

this place is huge !!

[@AlaskaJohn]

+Diogo Rabelo Yes, surprisingly though not big compared to many stores I've been in. Thanks for the comment and take care.

[@robynwest7537]

Where is everyone? What time was this? Mine is a mad house unless you go early.

[@AlaskaJohn]

This was early in the morning, around 8 am. It's the only time I'll go because of the crowds.

[@luhzaum]

I like it, even distant, we live a similar life, me from brazil, this is a prove, all are brothers !

[@AlaskaJohn]

Luan Tunes I agree, we all are different but still the same in many ways regardless of where we live, our religion, culture, etc. Take care and thanks for the nice comment.

[@poche660]

Very funny, when I lived in Oregon we went to Walmart for entertainment. Nothing else to do (exagerating).

[@AlaskaJohn]

Sounds like winter time here. When it's extremely cold Walmart can be some good cheap entertainment. Fellow customers usually provide most of the fun with people watching.

[@kimgrigsby450]

poche12651 Z

[@ellaams9280]

did you pick a bad walmart cart, because it looks like it's going up and down with bad wheels..

[@AlaskaJohn]

I always pick the worst cart, my luck I guess.

[@drsysop]

Thought Alaska prices would be higher looks to be same as lower 48.

[@AlaskaJohn]

Keep in mind these prices are in Anchorage. Probably the cheapest in the state. If you go to more remote communities then of course the prices go up sharply. Take care.

[@drsysop]

Thanks :)

[@jouster100]

Looks like it's Halloween, or is the spooky stuff available all year round?

[@AlaskaJohn]

Gareth .Adcock Good eye, it was just before Halloween. Thanks for the comment.

[@Ferda1964]

why not ? interesting video

[@AlaskaJohn]

Thanks for the comment. The Gopro is nice although sometimes the fish eye lens is not the best. Take care.

[@AlaskaJohn]

Filmed the end of October 2012.

[@Max_tax07]

After watching this video I got a headache LoL ^__^

[@narmor52]

Un video narrado por favor please yes

[@JarrodArencibia]

I like this.

[@AlaskaJohn]

Jarrod Arencibia Thanks for the comment. Take care.

[@JarrodArencibia]

your welcome fell free to subscribe,

[@wolfmanred1]

Another great video, John! Its 11:30 0n June 2, so in 30 minutes I'll be 59. Due to this fact, I'll be receiving checks from various family members, and w/ that added income I'm going to see if I can purchase a GoPro of my own, and start making my own vids. Prices are a bit higher in AK, but that won't deter me; I still wanna live there.

[@AlaskaJohn]

Happy belated birthday. Gopros are fun, I've enjoyed mine. Keep me updated about your plans to move up here. Take care.

[@josejuanperezramos]

Walmart México is a happy place, but in Alaska is a sad place...

[@AlaskaJohn]

+josé juan pérez ramos Interesting comment, thanks.

[@MactarJr]

+josé juan pérez ramos vote for donald trump

[@raulbass8792]

as big as any other walmart even there are few people living in alaska..interenting

[@AlaskaJohn]

Anchorage has roughly half of the population for the state so there are enough customers to support a larger walmart. Only thing they don't have is an auto service department. Thansk for the comment and take care.

[@abdulrhmanalshammary3837]

alothaim markets is very good ..you can see☺ in saudi arabia

[@AlaskaJohn]

+‫ابو مصعب‬‎ Thanks for the comment. Take care.

[@abdulrhmanalshammary3837]

+Alaska John good look 🌷🌷👍

[@asieduketeke1254]

*you can get $100 gift cards and coupons to use at Walmart* twitter.com/CouponsAuctions/status/708922454606028800

[@AlaskaJohn]

Very good point! Thanks for the comment and clarification. Take care.

[@RichardGottshall]

I did not see much of anything that was not the same price it is here in NY.

[@AlaskaJohn]

+Richard Gottshall Good to hear the prices on in line with some other places in the lower 48 states. Take care and tanks for the comment.

[@AdamBuckmantechpad1642]

this reminds me of my local Kmart a lot its odd

[@AlaskaJohn]

Adam Buckman We had Kmarts years ago in Anchorage but they moved out. I know a lot of people don't like Walmart but it's my favorite place to go for most everything. I just go early in the morning to avoid the crowds.

[@beyondthestars4299]

I can't hear anything by far.

[@hamtalker2007]

wow not many shoppers

[@AlaskaJohn]

hamtalker2007 It was recorded early in the morning right after they first opened. I try not to go on weekends or after 5 pm to avoid the crowds.

[@allincamo]

shelves are not as full as our walmarts. But then again, I don't see any people.......wow. So ya have 3 walmarts...hummm. Guess Alaskas not so rural after all.

[@AlaskaJohn]

Jim Cash. I recorded this early in the morning just as the store opened. It get crowded in the evenings and weekends. We now have 4 walmarts in the municipality. They built another one on the east side of town not long ago. Take care.

[@allincamo]

Are they all in Anchorage. ?

[@AlaskaJohn]

Jim Cash. Well yes and no. The Municipality of Anchorage includes Eagle River about 10 or so miles to the north of Anchorage. Eagle River has its own Walmart so that makes 4 total including the 3 in the main part of Anchorage. There are also two Sam's Clubs in Anchorage as well.

[@leebarrett928]

I was expecting to see some Walmartians but was disappointed!

[@AlaskaJohn]

Lee Barrett Too early in the morning for those folks. You would see some characters if I did a video in the evening or weekends. Take care.

[@leebarrett8167]

greenwormsoup Thanks :)

[@JarrodArencibia]

Lee Barrett I like I done some videos with the head strap at walmart even the checkout cashier.

[@enanena6754]

Where are the people? There's nobody!

[@AlaskaJohn]

Ena Nena This was in the early morning when they had just opened. I should do another video on a Saturday afternoon to show the crowds. I try not to do any shopping with the crowds. Thanks for the comment and take care.

[@raymondsloan2148]

Our store in Columbia, Mo, looks like a dump. Very trashy and 1 skids in middle of asles food scattered all over the store, poor manament..

[@AlaskaJohn]

Hello fellow Missourian. I grew up just south of Lake of the Ozarks and went to college in Springfield. It's all relative I guess. We have Costco stores here that are always wells kept, etc. Take care.

[@rtudor7913]

I live in Columbia MO too. I agree with you if you're talking about Broadway walmart . piss poor management and always a piece of shit dump that store is.

[@Sam-sp3nc]

To be fair, look how big it is, you try and do that for idk how cheap

[@SerraphimAnarchy]

What's with all the MO people here? I'm in Springfield, MO!

[@AlaskaJohn]

Serra Knight Small world I guess. I was born in Springfield, grew up just north of there and went to college at MSU. I still have family in the area. I'm not sure I could live there again without the ocean and/or mountains that I have here in Alaska. Thanks for the comment and take care.

[@Anddosdd]

lol you didnt need a trolley

[@AlaskaJohn]

Thanks for the comment but not sure what the "trolley" refers to. Take care.

[@Anddosdd]

the metal thing you put your stuff in

[@AlaskaJohn]

Anddosdd Ok, I understand now. We call it a grocery cart or just a shopping cart. I was thinking of a street car trolley. Take care.

[@mauricerodriguez2138]

God, it has nothing in commun with the Montreal walmart.

[@AlaskaJohn]

Maurice Rodriguez What's the Montreal Walmart like?

[@mauricerodriguez2138]

Well, it's difficult to explain. It's way smaller, the prices are lower, there is less food but more electronics and that's pretty much it.

[@JarrodArencibia]

every Walmart is different I done some with the GoPro.

[@MH-up1xe]

Maurice Rodriguez There are 3 other walmarts in Anchorage.

[@evilllama1152]

+Maurice Rodriguez I remember living in Lake Placid, NY. We had to go to Plattsburg, NY, which they called Montreal's suburb. I heard more french in that wal mart than English. It was crazy crowed, Malone, NY Wal Mart is like the one John is in. Prices at Alaska John's Wally World is no different than in NY. I just moved to South Carolina and prices are on the rise, so it really is no different. The only cheap thing here is gas and cigarettes. The south is becoming as expensive as the north.

[@JarrodArencibia]

Sorry man for some reason youtube unsubscribed me from your channel I subscribed again I don't know why has that ever happened to you?

[@AlaskaJohn]

Jarrod Arencibia No worries, I'm not sure why that happened.

[@JarrodArencibia]
