EMERGENCY FOOD STORAGE SHOPPING | COSTCO FAIRBANKS ALASKA| Somers In Alaska

[@KatyWatson173]

When my dad would buy things not on my mom’s grocery list she called them unauthorized purchases. Usually for my dad it was a pudding cake,he loved those so much,makes me tear up when I see them in the store now. 🙂💖🐈‍⬛🐈🌈

[@cherylperkins7538]

Was she a horrible person ??

[@KatyWatson173]

@@cherylperkins7538 no my mom was wonderful and I miss her dreadfully. My parents were married for 68 years, she said that to my dad in jest, it was a running joke in our family.

[@sarahoftheshire]

Little tip, the notes app has a check box, so you don’t need to delete things! Helps me with groceries.

[@bettyloewen9390]

I love the Notes app 🙂

[@TheFluffyPeacock]

I guessed between $700-$800 @ Costco. Things are so high where I live in the south, so I figure they are even more for you guys in Alaska. Merry Christmas to my favorite KZbin family!

[@JanePenn]

Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family❤❤❤❤

[@pusik86]

You are one of my happy people from Alaska i really love to watch. Makes my day a little better. I wish you all a happy new year ❤

[@caroljane75]

It’s been awhile since you did a grocery haul. I’ve done the same. Used what I have. Need to do a little restocking myself. It was nice not to have to for awhile. Love to see what all you make for meals. (I need inspiration) have a Merry Christmas!🎄🎁

[@michael7054]

Great video! I really enjoyed watching!

[@laughingalltheway8399]

Combat shopping! haha! I'm going to work that into my vocabulary!

[@beckystewart4423]

I first said $600 then changed to $700. after the clothing purchase. Wow!!! Love your channel. Blessings to each of you always!

[@Apairoffluffysocks]

I love watching The Chosen.

[@ZXX984]

Thanks for sharing. I know Alaskans always have to have an emergency supply storage ready for a possible extended period of time. Here in Florida now, hurricane season is over but we can get some severe weather like we did this past weekend that worked its way up the coast. We stock up on few things when hurricane season starts but more if a warning is issued. We just don’t have lots of storage room since we have zero basements. But we manage. That’s when our Costco has a tendency to run out or go low on stock. Bert, I guessing 650.00 for that haul.

[@jillwalls9330]

How cute Olivia loved her little dress. 😊

[@ColleenBalliet-po4ki]

It gives me joy watching you!! Merry Christmas!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@Chronicallythrivingwithshadae]

In Wisconsin were having an el nino winter, havent even had snow yet and were sitting at 40 degrees!

[@Dashbshots]

Now if you go on a normal grocery trip, try to also restock what you have used from the crawl space. Maybe adding a few extra items each time. And as you said, rotating it. We mark the date purchased on the containers so we can keep track of what needs to be eaten first. Knowing that AK prices are often much higher, I didn't even try to guess at a price. But it was higher than anticipated. Do you also store water? I'm not sure if you have your own water well or get water deliveries. How about backup systems just in case the power goes out for an extended period of time? For example, showers. 1. Showers with generator, 2. possibly a propane on demand camping style shower, 3. a type of tank used with cement work or for fruit trees can be used for showers by adding a spray head to the hose and then pump up the pressure right down to 4. gallon jug showers. It's the two is one and one is none thing. Water for drinking, cooking, for pets, for washing and for flushing the toilet? You are doing great.

[@Mudd_1969]

We live in the Midwest and we have had a very mild winter. No snow except for one dusting. 40-50 degrees.

[@lydiagross4018]

Merry Christmas to you too all the best in the New year ❤❤

[@Miss_Cali]

Hello happy peoples. Bush’s baked beans are seasonal at Costco I learned the hard way. Stock up when you see them because they don’t always have them

[@MoeClark-y2x]

29° in South East Georgia this morning!!! "Brrrrr"☃️🥶

[@mihaelaiancovici7029]

Crăciun Fericit !🎇🎆🎄🎁👏✨️

[@Emeraldwitch30]

Thats the first thing about buying in bulk for storage and hard times. Only store what youre really going to eat and use and always use and rotate. In deep winter we do a bit of microgreens and sprouts Nd i have 2 small rails of hydroponics i bought LED grow lights and i also have LED 5500 shop lights. The shop light grow beautiful microgreens. And 6 LED lights end up(i use timers)using less electricity than my old fluorescent grow tubes. Lettuce and green onion and broccoli microgreens all go crazy in hydroponics. Quite a few of the seeds i use for microgreens i grow outside. At end of season the broccoli and giant red mustard give more seed then you need. Onion sprouts are really good too. I do like my costco trips a little too much 😮😅 Just in case you want to stretch your taste buds in winter. I grow grass for the chickens and kittens.

[@carolm7828]

💁🏻‍♀️I guessed about $800. Bert, you sure picked out some really Beautiful dresses for Olivia!😁 ❄️is definitely settling in! I’m prepared!😁👍🏼

[@linda6561]

Just wanted to wish your beautiful family a very merry Christmas 🤶 🎄 and I pray 🙏 yall have a wonderful new year ❤️ ❤

[@cinqcolours]

We did our pre-Christmas Costco run on Monday and I couldn’t believe the bill. $700 CAD for a full cart of groceries, which is a lot for us here in southern Manitoba. Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

[@thomasg5968]

38° this morning on Hilton Head Is. Chilly but nothing like AK. Really enjoy your channel! You are blessed with your ability to help! ❤

Went to Costco yesterday and $500 later. Got quite a bit of fresh fruit , frozen fruit and veggies.

[@Klaudyacampos]

The impulse buys made me cry 😭🥹 how stinking cute !!!!!

[@jayhawkgirl6289]

It’s been in the 50s here in Kansas and it’s supposed to be in the 60s next week. Kansas weather is so unpredictable. One minute it’s warm and sunny the next it’s snowing and freezing.

[@mariabolt3881]

Laundry! Finally did last load before Christmas. No dryer, so we use maiden/clothes horse? Will be dry come Friday/Saturday. Everything cleared away for Christmas Eve and Day. Then back to normal on Boxing Day, 26th Dec', St Stephen's Day. My last day of Shopping for Veg/Cheeses ect will be Saturday at my local out door market. Merry Christmas for when it comes!

[@deannavanlannen3248]

Merry Christmas 🎄 thank you for sharing life! My guess was $800 for Costco. 🎉

[@priscillabohn4621]

In the Red Sea cargo ships were shot at with missles so it is a good thing to stock up

[@timsmith3389]

29th view haha watching from the tv 😂😂😂

[@vallovesnature8449]

I guessed $600. I’d be good with spam, ramen, Mac N cheese, black olives, & rotisserie chicken😂. Have an awesome day Happy People!!!❤️

[@cathyreed6180]

Honestly, the weather is abnormal all over the planet.

[@UserHunca]

Our weather is just fine.

[@vikki4now]

We are loving our cold ...60s...weather in Orlando. Nice change. Not calling it abnormal though.

[@ashleychurchill9779]

It’s unusually warm in Colorado it’s 60 today that’s October or and April weather usually it’s normally 40 degrees to 30 degrees.

[@MarieEnglish]

This morning I woke in South Carolina to 27 degrees and currently it’s 32 degrees tonight

[@rebeccalathrop7802]

It's cold in Alabama.

[@vmcgriff]

My guess was $700! Prices keep going up we are all going to all be eating Spam! 😂❤ Sweetest family ever!! Love your Random Acts of Kindness!! 🎄👼🏻🎄

[@hollyfink6168]

Spam is expensive too!

[@Ashley-mk7sx]

You are the Best Alaska, you tubers!

[@robertwest187]

I guessed $720. I spent 2 years at Murphy Dome Air Force station- up past U of A and 1 year at Campion AFS, 9 miles from Galena. I know how expensive it was back then so I know it has to be bad now.. Always enjoy videos about or from Alaska..

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Merry Christmas 🎄

[@louiserobinson8363]

If you have an iPhone you don’t need to write a list and then remove that item. Start a new note and then go to the bottom of the page and find the icon with list on it. It creates check boxes. Just tick the box when you have what you need and it goes to the bottom of the page. Then you can reuse your list in future.

[@edenaugustine3481]

Happy New Year!🎆🎊

[@gabbiesmeemee]

Hey guys, I love in Kansas. We've had 3ft of snow in 2 weeks and it is just now starting to reach freezing here °32. If ya don't like the weather, stock around cause it will change in 15 minutes lol

[@janedavies7768]

Loving daily vlogs there's a couple on you tube what have got the same Christmas music when you was going to cosco there called the lodge guys ❤🙏🇬🇧

[@nadinekore6308]

You guys eat a lot of Ketchup! I can't wait to go shopping at Costco. I live in France and there's only 1... 1 Costco in the country... near Paris! So my plan is to go shop there when I move back to Paris. Paris to me is miserable to live in so, Costco will bring joy to my life 🤣 Your son isn't wearing socks... I know the boots are fluffy and comfy but the snow! How?! 😅 Livy's dresses? 😭 Love your content!

[@DonnaRocheLull]

I'm surprised Garrett didn't get 2 of the spam!!!!!

[@3810-dj4qz]

Yes during the pandemic everyone was buying toilet paper like crazy! As if people have forgotten how to wash their booties. 😅 We have a toilet sprayer and wash cloths. Never went through that hype.

[@philipmiller2618]

You have a F4U Corsair on your shirt, when you were at Costco, Burt. I love WW2 aircraft.

[@terrysimpson3092]

[@kelliepineda9822]

[@SuperLittleTyke]

I save money by buying store own brands wherever possible and providing the product is good. For example, SPAM. I don't buy actual SPAM any more, I buy chopped pork and ham. It's packed in a tin exactly like SPAM, and tastes exactly the same. But it's only ⅔ the price.

[@sherryrease3139]

Merry Christmas and happy new year to y'all
