I love seasoning blends, and I never saw so many coffee flavorings! Thanks for taking us to Three Bears!

[@berniceb2636]

Hi Lauren This Alaska Life! I enjoyed watching this Shop with Me at Alask's Mini Costco | 3 Bears Alaska! The food looks very fresh and delicious to eat as always! Another great video!

[@cherylmcconnell3167]

Nice store, very unique and fun to see……thanks for taking us along with you 😃 . I agree….I try to buy as much locally grown produce and other local products as possible 🌻

[@andreabryant1131]

hey Lauren!! love you and fam!! wished we had a mini store around here!! I probably wouldn't be coming out for awhile!! lol!!! thank you for showing us around!! we love you so much!!!❤❤❤ kisses and hugs❤❤❤❤

[@bethchilds3354]

WE shopped at The Three Bears store near Eagle River in 2019 while visiting granddaughter. Probably that same store!

[@karen9540]

Love it when we shopped there!! They have Iowa based beef jerky!! We live not far from where it is made!! Loved the look on the cashers face when we told her we live close to the factory..

[@susangantzler7786]

I loved that store . It was very interesting I really loved all of the spices .

[@barbthomas4492]

I really like your shopping videos.

[@elizabethwickwire2304]

Thanks for taking us along, that can of corn was very big, we would get that big a can at Costco, we would use at church suppers or seniors luncheons.

[@zefcha4670]

showing us good variety of stores! the arts & crafts store was good and the 3 bears store was excellent!

[@shannonbuschman9593]

At least the isles are quiet, that's the best time to shop. Wish I was there...........................................

[@cryssbou7864]

Nice store.. I chuckled when we walked past the potting soil mix, just cause being in Canada and I bought three of those big cubes of soil last week to start our garden starts for the year

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Awesome! We are still a month off from thinking about starts! Can't plant till 2nd week in May.

[@jackiea3222]

That was interesting and original. Thank you.

Reminds me for your neighbors to your South east in the Yukon , Superstores In northern BC and the Yukon are similar to three bears.

I wish we had a store like this on Kauai. Bulk is good on some items but this store is great for non bulk items. Thank you for the tour. Aloha!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Aloha! It really is great for such a variety of items! Thank you so much for watching!!

[@annacummings5841]

It's bizarre how I live on the southside near Dimond and our Fred Meyers and Walmart have tons of empty shelves and the price of meat is getting ridiculous and yet just 30 minutes from us is Three Bears in Chugiak and the shelves were pretty full and the price of meat was good. What the heck is going on? I am definitely going to head out there asap. It's totally worth the gas to actually get what I need instead of going five minutes down the road to have most of what I want out of stock. Thank you for this video, I always though Three Bears was only out in the valley and had no idea it was so close. ❤️

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Glad you saw this! Walmart relies mostly on trucks so they are struggling with the Canada mandates. This store was so well stocked! Isn't it crazy!! Thank you so much for watching!

[@elizabethgreen6770]

Loved the store, which they had something like this in the states.

[@kathyhanson509]

I'm loving the new stores you are showing us. I would shop here over Costco every time

[@amandawilder7353]

A good rule of thumb, ive heard, is dont buy scallops if their liquid is milky like.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Good to know!

[@kimbradbury9107]

Hi Lauren, that is a cool store. I would definitely shop there thank you for showing us this store. Have a wonderful week

[@leekorten1791]

That was a really nice place to shop, the different varieties and sizes was definitely impressive. I love the Costco shopping trips, but I also love the smaller places especially when they have home grown and locally made. 💞

[@kaydublin5164]

Loving that 3 Bears store, their prices are pretty darn good, enjoyed the shopping. Thank you.

[@carolfuller7123]

Our kids have one of these just down the road from their home in Chugiak. Great little store!

This is that store!! This is the Chugiak store! Great place to shop.

[@carolfuller7123]

@@ThisAlaskaLife how awesome is that!!! I’ve been there several times!

[@mommyandme2017]

Love your shopping trips. I never realized how much more expensive things are in Alaska. Generally things were a good 15-20% higher than they are here in Maryland. Our prices are going up and up… but wow, yours were way more. 😔🥰 Also, I LOVE that you share what you spent. So many people do these hauls then hide what they spent. I’m like, why is this a secret? You’re doing a grocery haul!

[@patwright8331]

Hi hope your well, was nice to look around, it really amazes me how expensive Walmart is 😳, I love a good shopping video 😊👍😊👍

[@susanpontow-lopez2800]

That 25lb bag of sugar is a great buy! If I had storage I would snatch that up!

[@barbarakuhl1721]

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

Your really good showing these prices in the store. I really like this store. The carrots were my favorite for 5lb bag.

[@vickicreasy9089]

I agree the Alaskan grown carrots are the best.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

They are soooo good. Pams carrots are the best but I will take any Alaska Grown!

Hey Lauren, Thanks for the look into Three Bears. Our family will be in Alaska for several weeks this summer, and we plan to hit both Three Bears and Costco pretty hard! 🙂

[@beautifuluproar]

I love 3 bears! I miss living in Alaska.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Such an awesome store! Where do you live now??

[@theworldasweliveit.7189]

We have 3 bears in Butte Montana. It is the only one in the lower 48.

[@marcellahicks3984]

That's cool. I live in Central Illinois not near a river. I would love a 3 Bears here. We have a Sam's club. But I don't need all the bulk . It is a happy medium. Do they sell local Montana stuff there.

[@debraharris8902]

That store looked awesome. Thank you for sharing. Love watching!!

[@Drocka69]

Shasta has been around since the 30’s when they came out with Ginger Ale!!! Honestly love their ginger ale and coke better than most name brands. Just hard to find near me. I also have been looking on Amazon for Alaskan Products like coffee ect.

[@jaybee608]

This store would be perfect for me if we're there. Living solo, you can do a one stop shopping. I love sharing things from my KZbinrs. People think I know lots of stuff!😆 I'll research where I may be able to buy candied salmon near me. I've never seen it. Now do you guys have any discount stores? I'm thinking no. Good Sunday pick -me -up video! Andiamo!

[@tarras3292]

I found shopping at Costco is alot better for your family and I agree with you and Thank you for sharing 🥰🥰🥰🛍🛍

[@cheryl8015]

I enjoyed seeing the 3 Bears store. Would love to have near me in CA. Missed seeing Everett.

[@judyewing3352]

Love this video. It’s so interesting seeing things you have compared to Florida and the prices. That store is fascinating, lol. So many things you never would see in a grocery store here in South Florida/Ft. Lauderdale area🥰🥰

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

How interesting that we have things you don’t. What stood out to you that was different??

[@judyewing3352]

@@ThisAlaskaLife in our stores except maybe one or two Walmart super centers you would never find fishing/camping, gun stuff other than maybe a BB gun. You would have to go to a specialty store. Our grocery stores are very basic, I wish we had something like that it’s convenient. We get no snow here, it’s extremely hot so most places sell fans, maybe that’s unusual compared to your area, oh and bathing suits pretty much year round 😂😂. I literally own maybe one sweater and no jacket 😂😂. Your prices are similar to here, most of your things are about $1 more… like cereal, soda etc. One thing we have here that I haven’t noticed that you have/don’t have. Are BOGO’s?? I love the buy one get ones. That’s the time to stock up on cereal, pasta, spaghetti sauce.. so many things. I will continue to watch your videos and any questions about Florida, let me know. Take care🥰🥰

[@verena8683]

🇧🇴🦙nice store!!

[@ChumStun]

I’m in DFW area and our prices aren’t that far off. It’s been crazy to watch a single 15oz can of corn go up by 30-40 cents over the last decade. If you’re lucky you can find a generic or store brand for about .75-.85 cents. Del monte runs about .95 on sale to $1.25 regular. The organic will easily cost $1.60 a can. Love seeing your store, kinda reminds me of Winco

[@nataliemccance3337]

I would be like a kid in a candy store in there! Lots of very unique items - surprised how low the meat prices were - very comparable (or cheaper) than here in Winnipeg CAN

[@MsWDWFAN1]

Nice local store. Would be good as a filler shop or like you said get items you might need that you can't get at Costco. The prices weren't too bad for being a local store. We have a store like that. Their meat is really good and yes, you're going to pay more but you pay for convenience. I was there a couple of weeks ago with my sister and she needed Campbell's tomato soup. A can was $1.99 and she needed two! I about choked! 😜But we had a cart full of meat and some other items so you do what you have to do. I wasn't going to drive miles to a Walmart for two cans of soup! Not with the gas prices these days! Have a great week! ❤️

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Hello friend! The prices are more local but it is so well stocked and I realize I much prefer it to Walmart! Hope you have a wonderful week and that your Gift Box arrives soon!

[@smallspaceswithGloria]

If I still lived there I would definitely be going to 3 bears, I left in 2000 and I was in kenai peninsula.

[@glendaadams9227]

Wow hun I loved that new to me store

[@pusik86]

Wow that shop 3 Bears is huge. I dont think we have so big here in norway, but we have some big in sweden

[@stevenpaultann25]

That was really interesting, and nice to see they cater for large and small families. You picked a good time to shop it was so quiet. I found it more interesting that Costco, but possibly more expensive? I would have found you going slower better, but realise you have a life😂 Thank you for a good vlog.❤️🇬🇧

[@dixiehuenink2533]

It was great to see the MiniCostco. So nice they can provide for shoppers with smaller needs, although the prices weren't all that great. Did Everett know you were going shopping without him? Didn't see any sample stands so he might not have been too imressed. I missed the way you you two interact anyway.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

This was while he was at preschool, we hit up costco later in the day. That video will come out soon!

[@maryfranklin7390]

Great little store but no sampies for Everett...lol

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

No samples!! That's why I stopped by while he was at preschool!

I’m from California and Shasta cola is what a lot of us drank growing up. Much better than name brand.

I started singing the Shasta commercial song when I saw the cans.. Don't give me that same old soda, I want a pop, pop, I want a Shasta

[@juliebrabyn3387]

Very different looking store than castco. Much more choice. I like seeing the grocery store's as I work in a countdown supermarket here in NZ. Produce Manager so great seeing the products. Would be nice to see polar bear gift shops. Went there every day (3) and got so much.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Polar bear gift shop?? Is that downtown Anchorage?? Thank you so much for watching, I am so glad you enjoyed it!

[@brilliantbutblue]

Oh this was fun, loved looking around 3 Bears it's a lovely store with a wide variety of stock. But guns for sale that's definitely unique to US! Thankyou for sharing 👍

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

That is so interesting because it is so common here for guns to be displayed and sold. Thank you so much for coming along!!

The last time I went to Burlington they had just opened a new one and it was pretty empty. I will go back sometime soon. Good luck with your move!

[@kaycuneio7226]

Loved Three Bears. That’s a store i would use. Just the right size for a family of two. We are members at Sams Club but hardly ever go there, plus it’s an hour away. We have a Super Walmart but we like our hometown Fricks Market. A store where you know the owners personally and the workers. Thkz for sharing the ‘small’ Costco store.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Yes, much better for a family of 2. Costco is just too much!! 3 Bears is Alaskan owned so I love that!

[@ColdInTheStudio]

Wow I'm so jealous, I wish we had a store like that where I live! It has EVERYTHING! It's like a Costco, Kroger, Murdoch's, and Sprouts all in one.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Yes, it is such a mixture of everything!

[@alaskafamilykitchen3203]

We shop at 3 bears since it’s minutes from our home, but I still shop at Costco for my bigger monthly stock ups. 3 bears prices are definitely on the higher end! 🌺 Jen

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

So nice to have options!! I love looking around every time I go in!

[@VickiMcCormick-jf5pe]

Thank you so much for taking us thru there. I would probably shop there all the time, because I'm a bear collector lol. It was just lovely.

[@kayalbright1023]

What a wonderful local store. Your prices are so much more expensive for things. Then my area but we are in Butler PA. If I can ask what kind of meat is in your stores. I know you eat a lot of moose meat which I believe you hunt. Can you buy it and we have a lot of beef chicken pork.

[@markhansen4258]

3 Bears is like an oasis. We visited the ones in Healy and in Tok, What a comfort to find lots of quality foods at excellent prices.

[@mandyhopkins9027]

I liked the store but i noticed a lot of stuff is a lot more expensive than costco. I dont think Everett would like it ( no samples) haha. Maybe it would benefit you to buy extra alaskan grown carrots, wash , slice and blanch them and freeze them, i freeze a lot of fresh vegetables and they still taste amazing. Thank you for sharing the video

[@AlaskanBearsVlogs]

Wow, I wonder if the one in Healy is that well stocked? It may be worth a regular stop, I see so many things I can't get up here in Fairbanks, like the torani and DaVinci syrups, you are lucky if you can get anything other than vanilla. I have to order them and they aren't that cheap.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

They had so many syrups! I found them a few years ago and was so happy to not have to order them. Stock up the next time you come through!

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Very nice but no Everett!!!!!! It did seem higher then cosco. Thanks Lauren.

Wow, the prices you pay!! I live in the Oklahoma City area, home of Crest Foods, rated the #1 grocery store chain in the U.S. by Consumer Reports. Nine locations, family owned, the lowest prices anywhere. People bring their RVs from around the state and fill them up every 6 months or a year. A spotless store. Occasional random items will have a big .99 cent sticker.
