SHOPPING FOR A COLD WEATHER STORM IN ALASKA| COSTCO HAUL| VLOGMAS DAY 20|Somers In Alaska

[@heatherw.4561]

"Everybody and their mother's at Costco!" *Sees background* haha, there's like nobody! - try a Costco in Charlotte, NC. You can't move.

[@h4l03rul3z]

Imagine gate keeping the busyness of a store lol

[@TheSmbrown]

Eugene, Oregon is the same way, you're lucky to even find a parking spot, and if you do, and make it inside, you can barely move through the store lol.

[@Ethelseaborn]

Maybe the -18 makes people run. Lol idk

[@corianne2099]

Bert is such a good husband! You both are an excellent example of a good solid marriage, working together to make everything happen

[@charlotteanddavestorey6553]

120 dollars, that’s £92 British pound sterling , not bad . I’m writing this at 06:20 am British time on Saturday morning so that means after today we are gaining daylight again , the sun rises at 08:20 am and sets at 15:50 pm today here in stoke on Trent . Can’t wait watch some of the clips around alaska on the shortest day .

[@heathermoulton3221]

I love that Bert offers his services for free to local churches! My church in IL had similar ministries, once a month they offered free car care to single mom’s and those less fortunate. They also offer minor home repairs for single moms, retirees.

[@juliamihajlovich]

It’s September and I CANNOT wait for Chicago area to get snow this winter! Praying for a fun and safe winter for us all!

[@jamesball1136]

For the next week here in the part of Kentucky I'm from its going to be in the 60's so no snow this year for Christmas but I am happy my sister is going to be home for Christmas and not in the hospital like originally her appendix busted before thanksgiving anyways just want to say merry Christmas to everyone and may you all have safe travels God bless you all

[@jennc7111]

Hello from Kentucky!!!!!!!!!

[@jamesball1136]

@@jennc7111 hello back to you

[@kristy8731]

I’m also in Kentucky and happy for the 60s! Merry Christmas to you

[@joansommerfield8419]

Good job, Bert. I would get bread and.cheese for toasted cheese and cinnamon toast. Lots of good soups, salads stuff, chicken, loads of almond milk and whipped cream for hot chocolate. And make sure I had plenty of good books. O, and some chocolates or yummy cookies. OK, now that I have all the supplies....Let it Snow!

[@gettygets872]

Got my hoodies today ! Thank you Bert, Jessica, Nana, Audrey, Evelyn and Buddy ! Merry Christmas to you guys !

[@theresameske7594]

Somers family. Thank you, I know you truly care about your subscribers. Months ago there was a vlog that you had requested us to keep a family in our prayers. I had said that I do that without request and I was waiting for an area of my life to improve. IT HAS!!!!! In the last month things have turned towards the good. So many wonderful things have happened. I watch EVERY SINGLE vlog. Your family is such an inspiration to me. Hope you got the Christmas card from us. Hope you have the best Christmas ever. Much love and appreciation from Chicago💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@maryannkalnin4739]

JESSICA, On a different topic. I have to tell you that your blogs absolutely show all the hard work you put into them. They are different from so many other vlogs I watch. You incorporate music, family and are so down to earth. You are doing a great job....MERRY CHRISTMAS...🎅🏻🤶🎄❤️

[@SomersInAlaska]

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for your encouragement and kind words!

[@sherryd339]

Looks like we are going to have 67 degrees here for Christmas! Unusually warm for us! Blessings from Oklahoma! ❤️

[@RockSimmer-gal4God]

I’ve donated books before, but I don’t read books anymore as I read ebooks.its cool to see Burt shopping.

[@mamarobyn]

I do book fairies when I'm done with books 📚📚

[@jillygirl2024]

Years past , to honor my Grandmother, my Great Aunt, Mom and Dad on their birthdays, other holidays I have purchased inexpensive children's books and donated them to the local public library. I have the honor of writing a dedication which is then transferred to a fancy label and adhered to the inside of the book cover. Readers will never know who these wonderful people were but they will have the opportunity to see their names in print, all the while enjoying a good book. Giving is a joy

[@dianncrossman8437]

Great job Bert and without a shopping list! Bless you for your free advice to the local church.

[@amandanewtown4390]

I have about 100 things to wrap still! I’ve been sick all week long and haven’t been able to do much besides rest. I’m hoping to feel week enough to get some wrapped up tonight!

[@greywolfwalking6359]

Stay warm get double firewood in the garage.. Bring extra to a spot just outside the door incases you run low in other stock piles.. Good supply list, bread for p b j???Happy Holiday! 👍👍🎅👍👍!

[@WaconiaPrepper]

Captain Morgan and Diet coke! That's how we do it Minnesota!

[@vikki4now]

I regularly donate books to our library's resale shop. I did get my Christmas treats out to disabled neighbors on the day you suggested even though it was already planned for that day. Great minds think alike. Fantastic shopping Bert.

[@bnelson5378]

Upper 40s, I believe, for Iowa. No snow. I wish we had snow, it always feels more Christmassy.

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

Happy Holidays, y’all.🎄 Stay safe and stay warm. The temperatures have reached 30 below. Be careful, and have a safe Christmas.🎄

[@SomersInAlaska]

Merry Christmas Tyreese! It hit -40 at our house today:) I think we are in a low spot!

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

SomersInAlaska 😲😲😲😲be careful on 40 below weathers, too. I have experienced that kind of weather many times when I was in Fairbanks, Alaska. As a former Fairbanks, Alaska local resident in my own right, I dedicate my life to Alaska to stay safe on these 30 below and 40 below temperatures. Have a nice, safe Christmas, y’all. I ♥️ your joy and giving ♥️ to everybody.🎄

[@heatheranderson6716]

Jessica I'm REALLY bad about wrapping gifts. I'm the person wrapping like a crazy person on Christmas eve. Your not alone.

[@dahveed284]

That Costco was so empty. Mine was packed with people a week before Christmas. The prices seemed a little higher, but not as much as you would think.

[@kjevans68]

We are going to be 60 degrees on Christmas day in Kansas City, Mo so it's getting hard to keep the Christmas spirit

[@SomersInAlaska]

Hang in there!! Love peace and joy to you and yours:)

[@ryanwhitley8570]

I, too, have not wrapped a thing...and I still have a few people to shop for 😬

[@19Melissa85]

Ryan me too

[@wendydickason9206]

I still need to buy 3 gifts and wrap a few presents.

[@pamm2230]

When shopping for wife right before a storm it might be wise to give her a call just to double check the shopping necessities. Saves having to go back out in the cold.

[@DDee-oi6kn]

We will be in 50s next week - no white Christmas for us (although we have snow on the ground now). Bet you guys will be glad when vlogmas is over and you can get your lives back to normal - but you have been doing such an awesome job!

[@4evDreamer]

I work at Costco and can confirm that the prices are indeed very similar to the lower 48. And I just shopped there today lol. Much love for Costco!

[@shiobhankelly5007]

I have to share what happened to me today. I worked all day, then ran some errands. Traffic from noon on was horrendous, but you just power through. Needed to send a card to my niece and realized I had the wrong purse with me, the other one had my stamps and address book in it. Oh boy, I get yo the post office in just the nick of time. I was a little stressed from all the craziness of the day but what did I encounter....a mom and her kiddos in the post office passing out candy canes. It made me pause, and give thanks for all the Blessings. What a nice gesture and it was so appreciated. Christmas Blessings to you all.

[@SomersInAlaska]

Wow! I just goose bumps:) Thank you so much for sharing that!! Merry Christmas:)

[@Apairoffluffysocks]

Cool video. I’m catching up in your older videos. It seems odd now watching videos of people in supermarkets not wearing a mask. How times have changed.

[@dustindent7829]

Bert getting his Costco on, good job. -30 is, I couldn't even imagine those temperatures....

[@LStottmann]

Walking into Costco with no gloves, a t-shirt, and light jacket in -18 degrees!! I am from Kentucky and we bundle up in LOTS of snow gear, three layers, and hand warmers in 30 degree weather! You guys are tough 😊

[@crazyk8e1]

I haven’t even had energy to shop for my family. Working retail this time of year has been more draining than usual. I know my presence is the best gift but I always try to find something cute and meaningful to let them know I’ve been thinking of them. Christmas this year is hard, my sister just had a baby (super excited to be an aunt to the most gorgeous niece!) but they aren’t traveling this year.

[@terriemartinez9989]

Yuppers, your Hubby Honey did an awesome job of Storm Shopping...I am excited about gaining minutes of sunshine too...stay warm....

[@connieahrens1439]

Thank you so much for sharing your lives with all of us. I love your channel and want to wish you all a blessed Christmas and a very happy new year.

[@cagedtigersteve]

I would be so cool to see a shot from above the Arctic Circle at 4pm. It would also be cool to see shots from those elsewhere in the world, especially in the Southern hemisphere where it is the longest day of the year.

[@jot4336]

I haven't donated books before but I think about leaving some at the little neighborhood library boxes that are located just off the sidewalk. I've never done that before. I think I'll pick out a book and add 1 tomorrow. Happy solstice! Can't wait to stay adding daylight agavin Sunday!

[@jacquesouanounou6906]

Greetings from Montreal, Canada where it also gets cold. Around -20 below, before the windchill. You guys are a great family.

[@Kbuzmin99]

Bert did a great job shopping. 👍 I love watching all the different families closing out your videos. Warms my heart 💓❤️💓. You guys are awesome!! Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎄

[@mikeforeman1446]

No wrapping done here... I think because Thanksgiving was so late... there just ISN'T ENOUGH TIME!

[@mamarobyn]

Notorious for wrapping on Christmas Eve lol....

[@debbief2882]

I think Bert did an awesome job shopping!

[@tonjiacooper9781]

Husband did great with costco shopping. lol and yes prices match lower 48 NYC .

[@sharon22669]

I think Costco is similar to our Costco in NJ. Jessica I just started wrapping today. My busy body granddaughter got into her gifts so I started wrapping before she finds the rest LoL.

[@melissakimmel2551]

Love this channel! So wholesome!😙❤❤

[@traceynewman2308]

It's so pretty there 😩 I've been watching your vids for over a year and still amazed by Alaskas beauty 💙 while Bert was talking in your yard all I was focused on was the dreamy trees and snow 😄 We're in drought here, extreme high temperatures and bush fires 😔 literally polar opposites down here in Australia. Love your vlogmas content 🎄

[@pew9277]

That was a good shopping job. You did great on prices. Love your videos. Merry Christmas. ❄❄❄⛄⛄⛄🎄🎄🎄

[@AngelllBabyyyy]

That roast looks so good. We always use an onion and herb soup mix right on top of ours and we love that!

[@walkingthroughashes8982]

I feel like a whimp complaining about the cold here in Texas! Then again, I guess the oppsite is true for you in summer.

[@jackytoska1471]

Dude! I'm from Texas also. I went up to Alaska for a two weeks in July when I was 14. It never once got above 40°! All the kids were telling me "it almost got up to 80° a few weeks ago. It was so hot!" And i was like.... It's 110° back home.... And they didn't believe me.

[@AmyHenley]

I just started wrapping gifts. I hate wrapping and put it off every year.

[@heatherwells81]

Ahhh. She loved watching this one. She was amazed that y’all received her video. Merry Christmas y’all from Mississippi

[@lauramcfee5533]

It would be nice to hear from some animal families to hear how they take care of their animals in Alaska.

[@IndiAcres]

Those endings from the viewers have been really cool. I've enjoyed them. It was a very nice idea :)

[@matthewjbauer1990]

Going to Costco to prepare to be stuck in for a week + doesn't sound fun, but to Alaskans, it is normal. I remember when I was a kid (probably 2003) that it was so cold in KY at my parents' house that the region shut down. It got so cold the door locks froze locked (and if you could unlock the door, it was either frozen shut or the locks froze open before you could lock the door). That was the only time I remember being stuck in the house for over a week Also, prices at the Costco are prices I would pay for most of the items from the trip.

[@rznhvr1]

Wrapping gifts tomorrow, lets do this ❤️🎄

[@RoseLoveCo]

i was looking at vacationing videos in Alaska and came across your channel and absolutely love your videos keep em up 🙌🏼👍🏼 Happy New Year & God bless.. also the Costco prices are just a tad bit more than they are hear in SoCal (Los Angeles Area) but not to far off lol

[@SomersInAlaska]

Hi Rose! Thank you so much for joining our KZbin family :-) happy new year!

[@Priscilla-us1ph]

My wrapping was done last night!!! Shew! I wrap once ot twice a week. I put on some Christmas music, grab my hot Cocoa and enjoy a little of the Christmas season. It also help with allowing me the time to decorate the gift. 😍😍😍

[@jimmoore7725]

We don’t have a Costco near us. We have a Sam’s wholesale club and a BJ’s wholesale club. We do a lot of shopping at BJ’s. I think Bert did great. 🎁🎄

[@rockyzman]

I went to the Costco website and changed the zip code to the Fairbanks zip . Now I didn't spend much time on there but the prices on the few things I checked was the same as Cleveland, Ohio Costco. I don't shop at Costco,Sam's or BJ's wholesale club stores anymore. I go to Walmart and Aldi. If you have a Aldi there give it a try it's usually about 40% less than Walmart.

[@kristinecharlton6719]

The blueberries and peanut butter were the exact price here in mo.......everything else was close but the bacon.....dang now that was a steal!

[@yog2u2]

Happy Friday, Somer’s family! Got the hoodie today too - thank you, my wife loves it!❄️🙏🏼🎅🏻❄️

[@SomersInAlaska]

Awe yay!!! So happy she loves it!!

[@yog2u2]

SomersInAlaska that was super fast shipping and always 1000% support for all of you, always. You did an awesome job and the details are very cool. ❤️🙌🏼😊

[@carasmussen27]

my daughter has donated many of her old books over the years. But I have some that I am keeping because I never saved any of mine when I was a kid. She has always loved books and she reads every day. :-) Oh yeah I just found this channel

[@Glorydancer333]

Seems like a lot goes into living in Alaska and preparing for extreme weather. Digging out vehicles, storing and loading wood, boiler prep, etc. But I guess that's true of almost anywhere. I live in a hurricane area and a good deal of the summer and fall is focused on that. So every location has its weather related issues. Love the blog and stay warm!

[@courtneywillingham4409]

Just wanted to let you know the prices at your Costco are the same here in Oregon. Have a great new year.☕🎉

[@leecariker1452]

Well shoot!! I have watch a few of your videos that I came across and now I'm kinda hooked!!

[@itsmesteph8618]

I’m a new subbie I love your family everything about Alaska absolutely beautiful btw I had to goggle what Lower 48 meant 😂 love from New Jersey ❤️❤️❤️

[@pacluv]

Wow 😳 I thought everyone knew what that meant. Well I guess if you live in Alaska everyone there does. It just goes to show never assume anything. Well thanks to google, now you know.

[@robingregory3829]

I am with you. No presents wrapped yet. I have bought them, but haven't had time to wrap. Hopefully will do in the morning.

[@kylerogerspowers2935]

So I know this is old. I'm just watching and catching up on the Alaskan life. Bert for real no Red Bull for the wife. Wow. There for a minute you bought just about everything she does in the few i watched of her shop. As for prayer yes. I'm glad that the lord is blessing you and your family.

[@AmyLouiseYT]

Alaska looks so beautiful. Just....cold. 🥶 lol I’m in Ontario 🇨🇦 so right now we have the snow and cold. I’m not a fan of cold. Lol

[@peacefulwife5199]

Bert. Do your ears get cold? My parents never wrapped our gifts. Our gifts were in a big bag and my Father handed us one we looked at it played with it for a while then we were given another one out of the bag. We each got 4. The gifts did have our names on them with a little note from Father and Mother. Plus we each had a stocking usually filled with chocolate bells wrapped in foil a piece of fruit and maybe one small toy or one year I got a little bag with jax and a small ball in a cloth bag. Good memories.

[@forreal2398]

My guess is that what it looks like here in south central MN at 4:30 pm is about the same as what u will have up there. I live just a few miles north of a town called New Ulm, MN.

[@elenikarinou7414]

Ooh it's so cold there!!! I'm from Greece and we also have winter and the temperature is between 7-10 degrees!!! For us it's cold!!!!😅😅

[@BeccaBean2020]

Love your channel! Merry Christmas Somers! 🎅🎄🤶💕

[@jess_amaris7877]

Well were from Chicago but we live in the south for the time being & the 40 pack water at texas costco is my favorite because it's only 2.99!! Lol. We stock up & get 4 at a time since it's an hour 1/2 from us.

[@nancycolbert2703]

If I was shopping for extreme cold would include batteries, candles, bread, canned brown beans. Hydro could be effected......just easy protein sources. Glad to see the PB

[@musiicfreakk93]

I’m curious, what do clothing prices look like at your malls? I know brands like Victoria’s Secret have different prices in Canada so is it similar to that?

[@erinlyon1554]

I’m not even done shopping, I’m laid up in bed healing from surgery so hubby is helping with it all this year

[@peacefulwife5199]

Hope you feel better and get all healed up real soon. Merry Christmas 🎄✝️🎄

[@lisas2hands]

$120 from Costco is good. Well done Bert! 👍👍

[@SarahLizDoan]

Great job shopping, Bert! I absolutely love Costco!! So much! I miss it! Costco is the best! And $121 is fantastic! Now I want bacon and popcorn! Yum! We do grocery hauls before a heat wave in the summertime in Vegas; if it’s above 106*, I don’t go out. It’s just stifling. We shop at night a lot here during those heat waves. Anyway, stay safe & warm, Sommers Family!

[@sarahhensley4212]

I’m so ready to start gaining daylight (Kentucky)!! And Jessica, I love that sweater!!

[@SunshineValley121]

Mine ain't wrapped either. My nine year old likes to peek..so they dont go under the tree until the night before!! ✌🇨🇦💛

[@marietajalle391]

Not bad, Bert! You got it. Enjoying your vlogmas videos. Love from Guam 🌴 🌴 USA 🎄🎄

[@Mahomie_15]

It'll be a mid-60s kind of day for Christmas here in the Holy City of Charleston, South Carolina. Crazy enough, I live at 33°N 80°W and the shortest day for us will be Dec. 22, when the sun rises at 7:20 AM and sets at 5:18 PM. Most of my family think even that's crazy.

[@bighoss45hgaming91]

Costco employee here 391 Livonia Michigan prices seem pretty similar I think a case of water is 299 happy holidays everybody and New Year I'm a new subscriber keep up the nice work on the videos

[@celenmeme10]

Wow what time did u go to Costco??ITS A GHOST TOWN....NOBODY THERE!!! cuz the Costco's here in South Cali are ridiculously full like if they are giving everything free...forget the gasoline line its rush hr traffic bumper to bumper...i knw maybe its the snow...You did great in ur shopping at Costco👍

[@BrookeLee1130]

Just wanted to drop a comment to let you know that you and your family have inspired me to want to help others. I’ve recently opened up to others about how I am an attempted suicide survivor. I survived all 3 of my attempts which helped me grow into this person I am today. Because of your family I decided to try and be a crisis volunteer. I sent in my application and my reasoning as to why I’d like to be one and was accepted within the first 24 hours. I’ll start my 30hrs of training January 2, 2020. From there I will then be a text crisis counselor volunteer. So thank you. Thank you so much for making the videos that you do. Much love & respect.

[@SomersInAlaska]

Wow! What a story Brooke! I’m not sure how to respond other than saying that it is truly an honor to have you in our KZbin family!! It is so wonderful of you to focus on others even in the midst of your struggles. Many blessings to you and Merry Christmas:)

[@jillygirl2024]

Just love your vlogs so much, Somers Family! The section with Bert in Costco on his own with that background music...funny and sweet. LOL!

[@williamwalters9403]

I used to work for an hvac company and people just dont comprehend that when you replace an older unit with a new higher seer rating it actually pays for its self and you have a warranty!

[@KamboCan629]

Take the left over roast and add some vegtables and make some good wholesome homemade vegetable soup. With a Peanut Butter sandwich. Great for a cold day.

[@SomersInAlaska]

Great tip!!

[@rodneynottage1933]

I live in Australia & have never seen snow but I want to know about you buying drinking water. In Alaska I expected you would have lots of free pure water just from melting the ice & snow.

[@jennysintentionalbeginning7745]

Thank you for your hardworking on your daily Vlogs! I Sincerely appreciate & look forward to them! Ps. I received my (SOMMERS IN ALASKA) sweatshirt!!! Adore you all! Merry Happy Peoples Christmas 🎄

Recently i subscribed at your channel...you are a fantastic family!!l love from spain

[@destroyer4364]

The prices are pretty much the same as what we pay. We live in Alberta Canada.

[@pamweatherly1992]

Great video loved the Costco run. You did great!! I’m so loving Vlogmas I’m going to hate for it to end.

[@Dbusdriver71]

This is my favorite time of the year. This is Alaska at it's best. Now if you get the northern lights on a vlog everyone I know has not even started their Christmas yet.

[@carriemoore4380]

I'm really going to miss your Xmas into to your vlogs. I just love it 🎅🤶🌲🎀 We had a little snow fall in Spokane Washington but then it rained 😪 I'm hoping it's a white Xmas..

[@CeeCeeCrafts]

My hoodie arrived Friday in CT. Love it. Thank you. ❤️

[@peachyplanner4834]

My sweatshirt came today!! I normally wear medium and I have to say this one is a very slim cut medium. I may have to regift it 😢. Merry CHRISTmas!! Love your videos, it’s great to see wholesome content. 😀

[@shellymcdonough6876]

Having enough work to put to more people in a job is such a blessing that's truly wonderful

[@dancingforever63]

Just watched your Barrow shopping video and now I’m watching this one. The prices here seem great!! They are very similar to my Costco prices in Michigan!

[@kristypatton1737]

I just can't fathom living somewhere that temps get -20 or lower ~ Wheew!! Here in North Carolina we breeze down to 32 these days ;) I am sure that is a heat wave to you all lol ~~ Wishing you and your fabulous family a Glorious Christmas full of Peace & Love & all that is above!! ;)

[@missylouise321]

It hit the 40s here in Florida and I was complaining!! I just got back from Sam's Club and it appears that your Costco had very similar prices to my Sam's.

[@shellysmith1217]

Yes the prices are the same as my Costco I live in Southern Oregon Only the water was a little more but not much and we have a bottle deposit The cheese you bought is the same price I just bought some that other day ..
