Glad to hear there are some who get to live in such h a wonderful place.

[@IMOM123]

You (and your husband) are so amazing. BTW, you are beautiful!!! I love vicariously through you. A+ viewing.

[@pd2772]

I don't see the same light. I hope you are happy.

[@susanstricker3739]

Oh ! Here’s a good spot! Park in the drive!

[@larrybarrett5810]

Just a suggestion: buy an air tag and place it inside your car . So you will never loose your location of your car in a parking lot

[@Starsk25]

I wish I could afford to buy groceries. 😭 I'm trying to eat as cheaply as possible.

[@marystein2579]

Love watching your videos but can I make a request? When you put in comment boxes in the videos can you keep the ones that are a little more wordier (if that’s a real word) up a little longer. Half of them I had to stop the video and go back. I just finally gave up and just watched the video. Just a suggestion. Love the Costco hauls!!!!

[@Isaidwhatisaid500]

Yeah they flash fast, and I read slow.

[@lucindasutt7365]

You did not say where your Grandfather is from from, or your message was too long. Love the scenery always.

[@sherrypuckett6686]

Yes please that would be wonderful . 😅

[@Starsk25]

I see what you mean.

[@kellypowell1483]

Make the font a little smaller so sentences don’t get cut off. Where is your grandfather from? That’s one that got cut off. What type of AK native is your great grandmother? Curious because I’m part AK native too.

[@debbeasher-k4764]

Wow. Groceries are tough enough to afford without the freight. Ouch😮 They’d got to be tough!😢 Glad you are able to get what you need!❤❤🎉😊

[@justrayena526]

Love all of the footage from the plane and the landing was cool as well!! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@ketoauntie7301]

A money saving tip on the berries 🍓 . I buy the frozen big bags from Costco, usually organic & it’s just as good & will last you a long time with no worries of spoiling. They have strawberry o, blueberry, mixed berry, I think mango as well. I didn’t know you can freeze 🥛, good to know 😊👍.

[@heatherj9029]

When they come out of the freezer and yo put them on something.... Are the soggy or are the like fresh berries?

[@ШатуноваЛюбовь-ы7с]

You can pick wilde blueberries up in summer and freeze it. Lots of them in Alaska :)

[@LAactor]

​@@heatherj9029they are hard and meant for like smoothies or you can blend into a sorbet. If you thaw them, they are like any thawed fruit or veggie bags. Soft.

[@ketoauntie7301]

@@heatherj9029 They will not be a solid "fresh picked-looking" berry once thawed. However, the thawed berry produces a delicious sugary-fruit syrup. I usually take out 1/2 cup & thaw overnight to serve over a quality Greek Plain Yougurt the next dat, add unsweet almond butter, flax meal & a fresh picked mint leaf. I like it as a treat, as berries are low on the glycemic index scale for diabetics & those wanting to lose or maintain their weight on a Ketogenic or Low-Carb lifestyle.

[@mimi0424]

​@ketoauntie7301 I do the same thing bc usually they go bad before I can enjoy them. Besides they are picked freshed & frozen immediately. My daughter started doing this as well. Great tip

[@steamygrave]

I stared at the large crack in the airplane windshield the whole time lol

[@LAactor]

I saw that too lol. Here and the other stuff she put out. Shorts I think they were. Good thing these planes aren't pressurized. General aviation anyway. Minus PJs.

[@Scorpiobw]

I just want to say I love your vids. So many of them have brought me peace the last couple of years while going thru a hard time. 💜

[@LAactor]

I'm going through a hard time too. This presidency has caused myself and my colleagues to lose our livelihoods, many have lost their homes and many have been shut out of our careers because we didn't fall for the mandates. I want it back to five years ago when the country was amazing

[@catherinebrown7299]

Hi from North CarolinaI love the history of you and your family, stories told. I guess it's true that there are more pilots in Alaska than in any other state!!!!!!!! I wish your video's are longer

[@jademaldonado9247]

When you asked your husband if he’d eat asparagus and he said “I mean I’ll eat one little stalk” 😭😭😭😭😂😂💀💀

[@LAactor]

And she's like just for that your pee is gonna smell for weeks now 😅 why didn't he just say potatoes??!!

[@leahd70]

Thank you for your videos. I think you are a really sweet down-to-earth couple. I hope you are not too bothered by negative or judgy comments. Your videos and you guys are perfect just as you are!

[@bg5827]

When I flew in from Texas to Anchorage I refused to drive in the snow. Took Lyft everywhere. To be fair when it rains people here don’t know how to drive. When it snows everything shuts down and it took them some time to figure out the power grid. 😂

[@psychlover42]

Where do you stay when you visit Anchorage? Do you have family there, or do you stay in a hotel?

[@breezeh1127]

The best part of the video is the flower picking part. It was so stinking cute❤

[@rp1740]

Thank you for this video! and all the stats! What an interesting and exciting life you have living in God's country! Not sure that I could handle the cold but the view is absolutely breathtaking!! 🥰

[@debralavoie9095]

❤ I'm from Maine orginally and have seen storms where two feet of snow dropped in one storm. It's awful but pretty. Love your videos.

[@K3mama]

First ❤ I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ! thank you for sharing this with us

[@butterflydreamz299]

Not sure if I missed it.. how do you have a vehicle on the main land and does it stay there all the time?

[@Deadcntr]

The sour cream in those squeeze tubes will keep for a very long time.

[@bobo102458]

It really does and I don’t know why I’m the only person that eats it in my house and it never goes bad. ❤

[@sueperez21]

Great video ❤❤❤ Jared is lying 🤥🙄about spinach 😂😅😂 Lol I love the chicken apple sausage 😋

[@bfn6ghh]

So if you don’t fly back until tomorrow where do you sleep? Where do you go to eat? How come you can’t carry some of the groceries on your plane? Like some light weight stuff?

[@LAactor]

Salinaaa!😂 I LOVED this sm! It made my imagination go wild. I daydreamed meeting you and telling you to not let the meanies get to you. They just are ignorant of worldly thibgs and not all people dont live like they do. And tell you about an ex i had fallen for from Ohio and she needed the extra insulation because its warmer to be fluffy in cold places. She was just as pretty andbyou remind me of her some. Down to the teasing. I dreamt of taking a film crew there. Negotiating a rate with you guys thta makes sense of the project. Since YT stole my partbership away because i had low numbers and they changed the rules, and id fund it myself, I wouldn't have free money to spend on it. Especially bow that this president has ruined this country and with all the restrictions, my career as well, i wouldn't be able to. But oh to dream. We'd bring in our own planes and of course get the landing fees negotiated. Our own snow machines. Id hope to get in on a day he was on call and we could go tinker onnmechanic stuff because i have dabbled into that now some. And film that. People love car shows on here. I loved that you added in the popups that people keep asking and i answer from time to time. Glad i got it right! Of course my line of work is to fix things so its right be the end and so dont take offense but i can let you know for next times? The audio for the music montages is a little loud and the talking is a little low. DJI makes some good inexpensive wireless microphones. Protect your man and give less of him to your lady viewers and have him less on camera. Its a little distracting to go back and forth between him and you. I'm spoiled woth beubg able to focus on you for the other videos you make. But still love the costco and shopping haul videos. I actually slo mo'd the landing sequence andnit was really beautiful. I like seeing all the stuff on the runway. I had thought of being a pilot but plans for training fell through. My funding was revoked and i nevwr got to do it. And finally you know but some of the pop-up bubbles cut you off but i loved every one of them and all the work you put into this. It would be amazing if you could get access to a drone and add in local shots I think. Obviously not near the airport but just generally out and about. Thank you for sharing your life with us. If you read this far, im curious even though you dotb read these, if you knew the whole time working with him that you wanted to keep him forever. Sometimes i wonder if some pretty girl thinks of me like that and i don't know it because I'm being as aloof as he seems haha. Did you ask him on the first date? Hehe, maybe asked him will you accept this rose 🌹😂 like the Bachelorette

[@kathyforgues6994]

I can so relate to you and shopping with your husband. My husband would change words of thingstoo😊

[@connielowe1111]

you guys are just the cutest newlyweds!

[@Justbeingme13]

Your husband said he was ready to plan a family after eating the Nutella in the last video and in this video he said he would finish the Nutella tonight. Hahaha will we be hearing a family update soon😊

[@amye4087]

Would love to see how something like that snowmobile gets on that plane. Nice view of the town.

[@Victoria-OneLove4AllPeople]

Have a Blessed Day 🤗 ♥️

[@williamhilinsky1327]

Do y’all keep a car in Anchorage for family to use? Is there a plane your family owns for these trips back and forth bc it seems like it’d be worth it w all the trips > the cost to ship the groceries.

[@ellagnoix2276]

I don't have a green thumb. I have a black thumb😂

[@angelalaforest8631]

Does your husband always act like a jerk lol

[@susangartman5252]

What do you do with your car when you fly back?

[@PrismaticPixie]

It’s ok I can’t keep any plants alive either.

[@Thekuskus777]

Are there foods sample there at Costco?

[@chickaletta55]

Not trying to be rude, but Jared always looks extremely irritated and annoying when I see him in your videos. Kinda crappy. It was nice to hear a little about your family history in Alaska in this video!

[@mucber2000]

Leave him alone , heaven thanks not every person is like the other . Maybe he is uncomfortable with camera around him , this dosen´t make him annoying ..think you guys are rude

[@carolynturk-hu7je]

Greek yogurt can be used in baking too.😊❤

[@donnaklohn725]

Thank you for your video. I am planning on moving to Anchorage, AK in 2028 from TX. Will not be as remote as you but I love seeing the state and how yall survive.

[@Skatejock21]

I think a lot of people forget with winter parking that a flow must be made because you actually cannot see stalls. So its a follow the leader. The lead being the person who parked before you. We get the same in canada. They follow a flow because they have too. The truck sticking out was probably stuck out because another car was ahead. A flow has to be created. Unfortunately cant have it all. There are consequences for living in a wintery place. Great video though.

[@rohashimoto2774]

I just met someone from Anchorage. He's in Hawaii for business.

[@EpinyOfStormrage]

Hmm a huge crack in the airplanes window does not look safe.

[@jcj1942]

Great ending. I loved the song and the views! The crack in the windshield! 😱

[@DM_21]

Wow, shopping in your village is truly a two person job! 😂! God bless you and your beautiful family!!!! Oh yeah, I would be driving 10 or 15 mph on those snow covered roads. Jared is quite the confident driver!

[@angssi4068]

They aren't in their village - they fly 165 miles away to Anchorage, which is a city of approximately 280,000 people as of 2022

[@missycitty9478]

Were my eyes playing tricks on me or did it look like the windshield on the plane is cracked? 😮

[@builtontherockhomestead9390]

Research magnesium. There are many different types that have different benefits. The stores sell the kind with the least benefits and absorption. There some excellent videos on YT explaining the differences.

[@annaschmidt2]

Beecher's Flagship is our family's absolute favorite cheese! You can't go wrong with it.

[@darlynsamson4970]

Live in Upper Michigan. Snow this year almost nothing. When I was a kid, it would go to 45 below with wind chill and 12 to 24 inches of snow at a time with yearly totals 120 to 200 inches. So those snowy roads look normal to me. In fact my father owned a fleet of wreckers and I pulled duck vehicles out of snow banks.

[@Savannah200D]

With asparagus look for the skinny ones and than wash and snap the bottom off where they naturally snap and toss with olive oil s&p and roast in a 350 oven for 5-10 min depending on the crunchiness u desire. Makes them kind of sweeter and more like chips

[@MM-sn1rx]

Smarty pants & vit c chewables have changed my life!! Love, love, love!!

[@christinasmith9648]

omg girl those prices lol but it looks like you and your Hubby know your stuff. My Pastor used to Live in Anchorage his name is Pastor Adam Ziegler and he has a wife Lori and 2 teenagers. They recently moved to the east coast. We are all from Pennsylvania. Do you know of them?

[@wrennhaggard515]

I just noticed Jared shaved his beard lol

[@DM_21]

Why can't you just load the groceries on the plane with you and fly them back. You would save a lot of money. Sorry if someone asked that already. Love you guys.

[@nancymcgee4776]

Let us know how long it takes Jarred to eat 6 lbs of Nutella! 🤭 If my Mother could've got ahold of 6 lbs of Nutella, we'd know for sure, she died and went to heaven! 🙂

[@bobo102458]

Salina I love watching your videos and seeing Alaska I lived there for many years but now that I’m old I live in California cause I need warm weather. ❤❤ but you do make me miss it a little bit. 😂

[@jjs7721]

Your videos are always excellent to watch. Currently watching from a smallish town in England where its currently 1 in the morning and a very humbling -2°c 😂

[@theroxygirl731]

Can you please show the price signs??? I'm in Niagara Falls Canada, it amazes me that our prices are almost the same, if not yours are lower on some items. I know the US dollar is higher but still Alaska is a lot further away.

[@heleeneverson8256]

😢hoe I miss the snow. Grew up in part of south Africa where we used to get snow. Now I have been staying in another city with dreded heat.

[@melissakelley6176]

I take all of my vitamins in gummies. I usually get them on Amazon but Walgreen’s also has them. I get magnesium and vitamin d3 and it’s so much better than the pills. I’m also really not good at taking pills. 😂

[@debbiesmith8]

Love all your videos just to tag along and "hang out" is chill for me you and your family have a beautiful existance there. Cherish it 🤗

[@kimhill8475]

I grumble about shopping in Florida. I guess I should stop complaining. Lol.

[@shellheh9460]

Love watching your videos. You mentioned the food is flown by weight cost. Is it costly for the airplane transportation to go get the food? I am assuming you keep a car where you can use it for shopping.

[@TiffanyF-420]

Its me again....watching reruns bc I've watched all the new videos 😂

[@lonanewell5578]

Your roads look like Wyoming roads in the winter.

[@tamarawalther4524]

We pay around .40/lb. for bananas here in Bay City, MI

[@jeanninewakefield4630]

We park that way here in Minnesota too. The more cars the worse it gets. Not a problem this year though 3 smalls storms late in winter and the snow melted quick ( in my southern Mn area further North they had more but not the normal).

[@fondapassmore5256]

Bless you two! Wow prices of food and shipping you’re paying so much! I know your use to it. I know you’re happy and love your life in Alaska. Love seeing how your way of life is a little different than the warmer climate.,love you both! You’re an amazing couple. Your husband is a typical male when going shopping. Just wants to get in and out. LOL. The roses were beautiful but I’m a chocolate girl. Either way we are happy!! Looking forward to the next video. Stay safe❤

[@donnas9943]

The prices are so high. When you go to the lower states, do you stock up on some non perishables that are expensive in Alaska.

[@originalsixx]

Can you make a video about the heavy whipping cream- making butter, whipped cream and anything else you use it for?

[@alishab1853]

Why don’t you just freeze your milk? Then it could last longer

[@beckyryan407]

Put some food coloring in water then place the roses in it and in about 24 hours watch them the petals will change colors on the tips.

[@lynjones2461]

Hi guys juet found your channel not sure if you know you probably do but once you open a box of salad it actually doesnt last to the date on the package once air gets to it you've got about 2 days to eat it just be careful as there is a lot of bacteria that can grow in the boxes or bags its to do with how its prepared xx

[@patc1871]

You guys are so cute together. My hubby also has traditionally stuck to certain flowers but my favs are lilies. It took him many years to vary his choices once in awhile. So.sweet❤

[@theroxygirl731]

The Nutella 2 pack is $15.99 here in Niagara Falls.

[@carolzippel5021]

Unless you can keep the area around roses cool pick something else because they wont last.

[@christinebeck544]

WHAT ARE THE PRICES IN ALASKA, HOPE THEY ARE NOT TO HIGHT, KEEP WARM .🍟🥖🫓🫕🌮🍖🍗🍿

[@sherrypaproski9564]

Salina put your strawberries in a glass jar in the fridge they will last longer

[@PrismaticPixie]

How is it safe to be flying with a giant crack in the windshield of the plane?

[@terriefirmin3190]

You’re such a natural with being in front of the camera..keep up the good work ❤

[@peggycarnes-s8q]

Wow! Groceries are higher than here in Georgia. Even though things have gotten higher here.

[@chandraestrada9707]

Hello much love from South Carolina!

[@KarenBridenthal]

Too small and too fast for me to read. Very old phone. Sorry.

[@larrybarrett5810]

I know , you know windshield needs replacing, it has a major crack

[@numa.k]

A lot of times the Costco on Dimond has a bigger variety of selections. . . And as for the parking, you park as you pls🤣. I've seen some crazy parking in the Walmart, literally in the middle of the parking aisle...lol

[@bearpawz_]

I think you're right that Dimond tends to have a better selection (and for those who aren't in Alaska, we really do know how to spell diamond, but one of our main roads in Anchorage is "Dimond" 😄) ..I still go over to the one on DeBarr once in a while, but I'll wait till the spring to check out the new Costco Business Center. I'm glad they made a video of it!!

[@janicegilman7672]

The new building is gorgeous! I had the pleasure of checking it out when picking up friends coming from Pedro Bay.

[@AstarteRap]

Wow❤

[@Thelastlazy]

The loudest cart in history

[@JacobStiegel]

Do you guys have a FWD or AWD sienna?

[@71717]

Don't understand, you guys drove to the store, why don't you just drive home with the groceries, why do you do all that other stuff with your food ship it off don't get it 🤔🥴

[@flacachica1985]

They live in a village that is located 160+miles from Anchorage and there’s no roads connecting it. Everything comes in either by boat or plane.

[@donovanbullock1785]

You gotta love your husband, lol. He is such a "guy." I am the same way with my wife. 😊😅

[@angssi4068]

Really? Such a guy who rolls his eyes at his wife? Clearly gets easily irritated with her? A “newlywed” who certainly doesn’t act like one - if he really loved her, he wouldn’t act that way; it’s so obvious & I don’t think he’ll stick around for more than 5-10 years if even that long.

[@cynthiamateo9450]

Crack windshield yikes

[@jasonrichards5854]

oh wow, sooooo cool, I am the 1000th viewer............................

[@carolynturk-hu7je]

Try taking your pill with applesauce or creamy peanut butter. 😊❤

[@MrZzToOoFlyY]

You can’t crush some pills.

[@carolynturk-hu7je]

​@@MrZzToOoFlyYNo crushing! Did not say to crush the pill. Take whole with applesauce or creamy peanut butter. It is what my husband who had a hard time taking pills had to do when taking pills during cancer treatment. 😊

[@rudolphferdinand3634]

Here we have an Alaskan couple operating on two different levels,” Why am I doing this video thing the guy?” The wife is totally in but the husband isn't. That is some of our Alaskan temperament, and yes I know up here in the frozen North 45 years now. South Central Alaska resident.

[@kellyrosenthal2821]

Michigan girl here! Love your videos.❤ Question for Jarod!? Have you showed people's in Alaska how to play Euchre?? I've heard it's only a Michigan card game! Very fun tho.

[@michellekimbell6924]

Kinders is good

[@markylindyscrib2120]

❤😂Enjoyed your video! Watched some in the past. I like how you add captions, but could you leave them up longer please. You and your hubby are cute and fun!!

[@bradleyhasse5220]
