Good afternoon Lauren and Mark and family and thank you for sharing your beautiful day 🌞

[@christiecathey2833]

Sam’s Club’s scan-n-go is the best thing ever. No lines.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I imagine that is the way to go! If I go again I will have to try it out.

[@belindaroberts3090]

I need that egg spinner. That's cool.

[@leekorten1791]

It's lovely that you get to see your parents, with hot weather and a Sams all thrown in. I can't understand why they closed down your one because despite having a Costco they would surely do a good amount of trade. It was wonderful to see Everett out shopping with you, and all the big hugs he gave you. I hope you and the boys have a fantastic time 💞

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

They closed down because of shipping costs to Alaska. I miss it but I can understand why because they were never very busy. Got some amazing deals when they shut down but I get sad whenever I see the empty building.

[@Judy.LoveandLightAlways]

Amazing Store Lauren and Everett, some of those item's are cheaper than here. Everett sending you big hug's for being such a Wonderful Helper To your Beautiful Mum. Have a Wonderful Time with your Family Lauren. Love to you all Hamm Family. It Felt like I was there. Such a Great Video. Kindest Thoughts from Australia x 🐨🦘💗😘

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thanks Judy! We're so glad you enjoyed coming shopping with us. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Enjoy all the fresh fruit! 🍇🍓🍎🍑🍌🍅

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

We really did enjoy it!

[@kimbradbury9107]

Hey Lauren, what a culture shock going from freezing 🥶 cold to hot 🥵 weather. I’ve had that chicken salad & it’s really good I’m glad you went down the snack aisle it seems to never stop. Enjoy this nice weather & visiting your parents. 💜

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

It is quite a change getting everyone in swimming suits, sun screen, and shorts! The chicken salad was a good choice, everyone loved it! The snacks were never ending, I had to show restraint or we would just be snacking the whole trip!

[@nataliemccance3337]

What a treat! We don’t have ANY Sam’s club here in Canada! And jealous of your shorts and sandals!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

The shorts and sandals have been a nice change, I am so excited for spring at home but it still feels so far away! Thank you so much for watching!

[@croc009]

The egg spinning thing. I wonder if you could use fresh eggs and have scrambled eggs in the shell? But maybe it doesn't spin fast enough.

[@cindycarroll104]

Its always a treat to see you all once again and of course visiting your wonderful parents. Yes Sams Club & Costco is the best overall, and fill your basket up with hugh bulks of everything. I love the egg decorations your getting to enjoy with your sons. Thank you 😊 💕 Lauren for all your videos and you sharing. Enjoy your warm Arizona with your parents and family.

[@annettewalter2273]

Everett could entertain us for hours. 😊

The egg spinner looks so neat! And the eggs come out beautiful! Gas jumped 40 cents literally overnight! Yesterday it was 3.69 and this morning it is at 4.10! Crazy And ridiculous!

I’d say 5x the snack selection of Costco! It went on forever! Thanks for watching!

[@marcellahicks3984]

That Eggmazing kit was so cool. We loved seeing Sam's Club in Arizona. I love the restaurant supplies at Sam's Club too. I particularly love the big Aluminum Foil and Plastic wrap. I haven't been there in a while. Looks like your having a nice warm time

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

The egg kits are really cool! So much less mess than dying the eggs. So much to look at, I really could have made a 2 hour video if my shopping buddy was up for it. Alas, he needed more snacks! Thanks for watching, hope you have a wonderful weekend.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed coming along. I miss the Sams club every time I drive by, it was my happy place when Hunter and Bennett were little. Everett wanted to start an "egg stand" outside grandma's apartment and sell his beautiful eggs!! He is so proud of them, it is so cute. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[@meka5815]

Very to see you in Sams. I love Sams, it is or was our go to until I started watching Costco videos, then got a Costco membership last year. That egg thingy is actually pretty cool.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

It was my go to before as well. I have learned to love Costco, now that it is my only option. The egg spinner has been so amazing, glad I grabbed it!

[@shirleedanis-lp7pm]

I order from the Walmart in Kentucky. They have more different items for home and food. So I order on line. FedEx deliver

[@robyn7287]

Watching fuel prices here in Australia as well. Currently $2 a litre, that’s nearly $8 a gallon. This increase is pushing up prices for everything especially fresh food. Plus Australia is still recovering from its second major flooding this year, which ruined not only homes but farms. We however are very lucky that we don’t have the winter temperature extremes that you have in Alaska so keeping warm is so much easier. It’s really interesting to see the difference between your food prices and ours so thank you for the tours.

I lived in Mesa for 2 years I miss Trader Joes,Whole Foods and In-N-Out burger.

Ours is up to $7.72 now.. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

We come with empty bags to be able to bring things home but they have to be a reasonable size. With Alaska Airlines we get 2 free bags each and with all 6 of us that means a lot of bags! Only problem is fitting it all in the car with us!! HAHA thank you so much for watching!

[@heiditaylor5896]

You may be able to find them at a local farmers market cheaper. Here in Washington we can only find them at Costco or our local farmers market but everytime i see they have them i stop and get some because they are so delicious. We like them frozen also. Oh man so good!! I highly recommend them. Especially if you haven't tried them

[@heiditaylor5896]

They never last more than 2 days in our home lol

[@drift4647]

Recently moved to the Pacific Northwest and they don’t have a Sam’s Club here like back home down in the South. Sams club caters to the folks who has the little corner stores, vending machines, and restaurants. They don’t have the organic stuff like Costco.

@@ThisAlaskaLife enjoy the trip❤️ it must be hot for you but the weather here is so fickle

[@brilliantbutblue]

I have never seen inside a Sam's Club before so had no idea what it is like, it's very similar to a Costco with the bulk buys, do you need a membership to shop there? Petrol has gone up the world over, for us that was occurring prior to the current events so we cannot blame the War as we had been warned about it since January. The egg spinning kit looked great, the kids did a beautiful job on decorating the eggs. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Yes you have to have a membership for Sams club, just the same as Costco. They have a lot of similar items but often have really good sale and clearance items ( that is what I miss the most). They also have a much larger snack/candy selection. I would say 5x larger. I didn’t really show that since Everett was aching for his snack. Sams club is owned by Walmart. Hope you have a wonderful day!
