[@judyshoemaker9681]

[@tammyhaeske2016]

Love New freezer

[@alinelson2]

Hi sweet one! Yay...I am so glad you found what you wanted! hugs and many blessings!

[@Mel-vu9ss]

Such a neat freezer idea. I’ve never seen one before. It’s nice to have dedicated freezers.

[@lisanorris6518]

Hey that's a great freezer! I'm going to check this out in my area. I enjoyed going with you to shop. We have Sam's Club. I've never been to a Costco. I can't wait till you get a moose. See you next time.

[@lesleyweller4518]

Jessica a trick I have found with avacados is that I cut & mash them then use a small ice cream scoop & put scoops on parchment paper & freeze. I can then put them in bags in the freezer & they last for momths. I even have a bag of sliced, frozen on parchment then bagged. No more turning brown! Doesn't take longto thaw.

[@sharonmckee2403]

I enjoyed the trip to Costco!

[@tawnyschlienz9063]

I'm thankful for my family. My parents came. The 7 of us all piled in their van and went to see my son whose an hour away. Went out for dinner then home again. Even though our visit with him wasn't long it's still nice to spend time with him. My adopted son, whose lives in Ohio, said he finally wants to come home in a couple weeks, so I'm excited about that. Our "Zoo" is getting bigger. Lol. We'll have 6 humans, 3 dogs, and 2 cats in the house. Ohh boy. Lol. Blessed to have a wonderful family.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Love it!

[@pamfrey6785]

I love those cards!

[@joannathesinger770]

I love that freezer with drawer compartments!!!

[@angiegranberry3366]

I shopped for groceries today, too! I feel blessed 🥰

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

I love grocery hauls. Ty for sharing.

[@joycelipe4293]

Love your videos.

[@db33400]

That freezer is super cool. I want one!!! 😀

[@johnmichelleschlicher3787]

I had no idea they even made upright freezers with drawers. How nice!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

I just learned it too!

[@melodyspoor3127]

Aaron has such a great sense of humor.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

lol I think so too

[@carolyngregory9354]

I love that freezer. I’ve never seen one like that.

[@randievans8803]

Definitely my preference is an upright. We have one of each. I can organize our upright so much better. I put all the same items in our chest freezer, i.e. all our home grown chickens after I have frozen them in the upright🤪

[@barryknickerbocker2286]

Jessica, I love love love your show. I wanted to share this tip with you. If you put your lettuce in a ball jar then vacuum seal it and then refrigerate it the lettuce last a lot longer time.

[@gloriadavidson8599]

Great having a freezer just for fruit and vegetables 😍😍 well done 👍👍👍👍 Love from the UK x

[@elaineparker6986]

Jessica thank you, you were busy today shopping and organising, i also need a new freezer, but i only need a table top one! lol

[@texasproud8822]

That’s a really great freezer setup.

[@blue_eyez21]

I saw on another channel they used "the freezer max system " for their chest freezer and it looks awesome!

[@elizabethblanch5871]

Nice I’m next Hubby has VA Dr apt tomorrow but after that I’m starting in the kitchen and working my way around the house. Just love your husband he cracks me up. Hi I love that freezer that would be great for veggies & fruits. And. My milk I freeze.oh don’t forget your list.

[@beverlygiroux2824]

Golly, that is so awesome. My only freezer is an upright.....and, it drives me crazy, as everything falls out, if it is not organized properly. So glad you were able to get one with drawers. What a luxury item it is for you. Your basement is filling up......CAn't wait til Aaron gets your stairs done. Love and hugs......Oh, it is snowing here, got another 8 inches today. All fluffy! Bev

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

You and me both!

[@anitawells3705]

😊😊😊😊

[@beverlygiroux2824]

It’s Monday night, I am in bed, it’s 10:38 p.m……..guess what! We got another healthy FOOT of snow today, in addition to the snow of a day or so ago…..and a predicted 8-12 inches due Wednesday night. Finally, winter is here!! I’m loving it. Wednesday morning is going to be grocery day…and pet food day! Hugs, Bev

[@beverlygiroux2824]

Glad to hear that dear Kaleb was home for weekend. Where are other two offspring? They are scarce these days, I miss them!

[@kathiekesterson9635]

Such a healthy grocery haul!!

[@mariezafonte6473]

Love the freezer. Haven't seen an upright at my Costco yet.

[@kittmiller2212]

Jessica, Alaska is so Pretty! I love that freezer!!!

[@cathyrobinson8667]

I love that freezer with the drawers. I’ve never seen one like that before. It’s such a good feeling to have things all organized.

[@susanwilliams1881]

Love the new freezer

[@ghc7400]

This is actually the first upright freezer I have seen from an American KZbin channel that has drawers. A very good choice. 👍

[@smallspaceswithGloria]

Love the freezer 😊

[@carolynmills513]

Cool design on freezer.

[@margaretmckenna5590]

I have a upright freezer and love it love your channel and being part of your KZbin family x

[@jackieburnett6881]

Love the freezer!!

[@lauragroux4444]

Thank you for doing my leg work!! We need to buy a new deep freeze, our old girl has advanced age and still needs a manual defrosting. You have selected the one of my hopes and dreams! Who knew they made one with all drawers?! Take care of you and hugs all around. Until our next visit…❤Momma G

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Love it thank you!

[@dj12451]

Love the freezer ❤❤😊

[@debbiecoonse980]

With the prices of food n Alaska I couldn't afford to live there. I bought chocked on my coffee when you said the price of cabbage, I thought.99 a pound was outrageous lol. Love the new freezer, I'd rather have a stand up than the chest

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

It’s crazy

[@sarahschlosser1203]

Love the freezer

[@kathyconger2188]

Great grocery haul. I’ve never seen a freezer with just drawers before. I have a big chest freezer like yours. Mine is old though. But it still works great. Thanks for taking us along on your Costco adventure!👍🏻😉

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

I like your new freezer.

[@wendyGteH]

We have a small upright freezer and an extra fridge with 3 freezer drawers. Now the last one I do not trust his freezing capabilities lately BUT our sons will move out in a year or two (me think) so then we only would need one upright freezer (for the two of us) the size of your new one. And a small (beer:-) fridge extra. I think I will look for a temp second hand one. They have become quite expensive in Europe so.....

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Love it!

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Jessica, Aaron and sweet family! Aaron has a wonderful sense of humor. I love an upright freezer. I had always had chest types and it’s really hard to keep organized. Your children are all very considerate and helpful. I hope you and the family have a blessed night!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you so much!

[@margotkoopmans1186]

What a great freezer perfect for two people 😂 don’t know if they have them in Canada . Beautiful sunshine here in Calgary Alberta .🙏🕊🙏💞🥰🇨🇦

[@MyAlaska12]

I like that upright freezer. Next time I'm at Costco, i'll have to look at getting one of them.

[@tinafry6769]

Love that new freezer❤

[@taneriapollins9225]

This is why I have a half cow coming next month. Those prices are crazy

[@belleve5709]

Love your new freezer ! I'm going to have to get one! Your frozen food haul making me hungry you guys look so happy just love your life style

[@mikalasimpson7789]

I can't believe at the cafe you had to eat your meal with plastic cutlery. Loving the new freezer larder, brilliant idea. I have separate freezers 1 is like your new one the other is for quorn, meals and some convenients. It's great knowing where everything is. And I've now sorted out my herbs & spices, I did it with you the other day.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

It’s very common here.

[@cindysandhu7281]

Hello Jessica 👋 I love your new freezer! Thats the kind of freezer I would like. Awesome haul from Costco. Have a safe and wonderful week ❤️

[@drusillayoung9552]

I love that freezer might have to try and con my hubby into getting one 😂😂😂. We have 2 one more won’t hurt.❤

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

That’s my motto!

[@sharonbrown2352]

I was surprised that your fruits and veggies at Costco weren't a whole lot more than what we pay. The pineapple was high, but the rest was similar. We have a greenhouse and we are getting beautiful tomatoes and peppers right now. I was worried that the single digits had killed the tomatoes, but with the heaters they survived. It's always fun to see other prices in the country.

[@amyreid9649]

Love new freezer, never knew they made with drawers only. Please do a follow up on your thoughts of it. Wondering how durable the drawers will be.

[@angelmiller3224]

Like the freezer never seen one like that

[@lynsmith2698]

Nice freezer. We are up to three freezers now for the two of us. One of our uprights is full of fruit and veg and overflow of moose. The other one is all meat and then the little one is milk butter grains and nuts and misc. I love how organized it has become so I know and understand your excitement. Great video cheers ❄️❤️❄️

[@tracersburkett6294]

Freezer looks nice but kinda small. It could be an illusion though on the video. I’ll have to check our local cosco for size reference lol. Thanks for sharing your trip. These are always fun to watch.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

It is a bit small. It’s silly, but I do better with smaller freezer that are categories.

[@gaynellhilton3004]

Oh my goodness! I love your new freezer. I have honestly never seen one like that and sadly don't have a Costco near me to see if they have them in stock. Love it....thanks for sharing.

[@riddle8062]

Okay, I love that standing freezer with the drawers!! What do you make with the riced cauliflower?

[@heathere.6557]

I love the shopping videos! Would love more what you eat in a day/week!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Good I’m working on a week of whole 30 dinners we made. But a few days away from being finished.

[@denisescull4227]

I've had my eye on that freezer, so please let us know how you like it! Thanks for bringing us along

[@marilynclayton3430]

I got that same dog food last time and my dogs got sick. And that freezer💚

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Nasty! I made my dog sick too.

[@judylee1170]

I Love mine

[@mariebocca7673]

I hope u brought back the dog food to Costco there return policy is one of the best especially if it’s there own brand.Love your videos 💕

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Great idea!

[@tonjaprice9]

Congratulations on your new freezer. It truly is the little things in life that make us happy. Glad you got to spend time with Caleb. Is it too personal to ask about your other son? Where he lives and what he does?

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

He is in collage and plays a collage sport and is not wanting to be on social media. It’s not a secret. We just respect the kids desires. It’s not for everyone’s taste.

[@tonjaprice9]

@@modernhomesteadalaska Thank you. True. It's not for everyone. I was just curious. I figured he was in school or just lived/worked somewhere else.

[@robinfuller3721]

Just in case no one has told you, you look GREAT!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Goodness thank you making me blush!

[@bilakemrisner]

you look so pretty i can tell your face is slimmer

[@lenalyles2712]

We live in the Rio Grande Valley TX and they grow vegetables, citrus, fresh seafood and cattle. Seeing your prices gives me nightmares. Sat I bought tomatoes for$.88 a pound and got a big watermelon for $3. Just 2 miles from us is a frozen food factory and right now winter greens are being processed.

[@debbiecoonse980]

I live n Indiana n bought choked on my coffee when she showed the cabbage. I thought payin .99 a pound was outrageous.

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

I have been looking at that freezer for a year at my Costco because things just get buried in my chest freezers. I will get it but I want to first declutter my chest freezers and get down to 2 and that’s my motivation to actually do it, lol. I can’t get the one I want until I clean out the existing ones. 🤣

[@annahoover5296]

Hi Jessica and Aarron

[@nadiadenning2035]

I love that stand up freezer! I have a original deep freezer chest one. We live in a small home the chest ones take up alot of room in my tiny kitchen. I’m very curious as to know how you guys keep bears out of the food from garage

[@kimkerley4218]

Oh no… I’m in Tn and food is so much cheaper here. Pineapple is always $1.99 and bananas are always .59 a lb.

[@ritahall8653]

I would love to have one of those freezers but the one I got is not have full so I don’t guess I’ll go to Costco

[@Kristi_Jessee]

I just love thrifting for vintage and antique items here in North Carolina, just curious if you’re goodwill or thrift stores are good for finding treasure. Love spending time with y’all, it makes my days so much better

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Nooo lol because it’s still such a young state! But the best part of the goodwill is people donate winter gear that’s great.

[@Kristi_Jessee]

@@modernhomesteadalaska that’s great to able to find, I say it can get quite expensive to buy new. I love snow but we hardly get it anymore.

[@grammysue7355]

I think I need to look into this Whole 30! I do have a question though. Can I still do my AG1 greens drink every day while in Whole 30?

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

I have no idea. But I just always look it up abs often it will say Palio or whole 30 approved

[@hannahkayee831]

What is that new freezer called if you don't mind? I love that it has drawers.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

I hope this link works. I found it on Costco’s site www.costcobusinessdelivery.com/hamilton-beach-upright-freezer%2c-11-cu-ft%2c-white.product.100430955.html

[@christawright2685]

I will not complain about the produce prices in our area again 😳

[@LucyValean]

Jessica how far is wasilla from anchorage!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Depends Wasilla is a very large area or what’s considered Wasilla is large. But it can take between 30 and an hour to get there

[@mandybatey1105]

Is there a cat food shortage in Alaska?! I live in TN and it’s hard to find!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

No clue I’ll look next time. We don’t have a cat. So I have never looked

[@karenfalconer5616]

Did you get Aaron his velvetta?

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Lol Noooo it’s not whole 30 he was teasing me! We do have some in the pantry for an unhealthy who cares meal here abs there though.

[@karenwittfoth5380]

Did you get your Whole 30 information from your doctor or from a certain website? Very interested!!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

[@karenwittfoth5380]

@@modernhomesteadalaska Thank you!

[@eyeswide2833]

What kind of freezer is that? Also why does your your doctor prescribe you to eat five times a day fruits and vegetables? I just had bariatric surgery and I was wondering if it was because of something like that?

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

5 servings of fruits and veggies. Low sugar so on. I have liver issues, and due to past treatment gained weight, just trying to loose 10 pounds ever 3 months or so keep my blood pressure down and my liver healthy.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you so much for watching and asking.

[@eyeswide2833]

I've recently started overcoming a bunch of illnesses I got hit with in The Last 5 Years. It seemed like everyone I could get I did. But I kept the Happy Spirit went to church and started doing what it took to get my health back. So I will pray for you and your healthy endeavors and I will be going through my own. Bless you I wish you nothing but Good Vibes and thank you for sharing.🙏

[@christineayre796]

You may be able to take the dog food back

[@waldomiller]

how many cubic feet is the freezer i want one

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

No idea

[@BPCalaskaCARYN]

YOU SHOULD HAVE RETURNED THE DOG FOOD, COSTCO IS GOOD ABOUT THAT SAND WOULD HAVE TKEN IT BACK

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

I got it at three bears. So I’m not sure if they would take it back when I got it at the local store. None the less. Still struggling to find a brand they like from Costco.
