Hi Lauren!!! Thanks for collaborating with me. And yes to all the scissors… no matter how many you have, they always seem to go missing!

Megan is how I found you!! Enjoy watching you both. Makes me feel so much better about my life, that is falling apart!! Much appreciation to you both!!

[@annettebooher-malcolm4174]

I love watching you shop at Costco...showing us items (new & old) & prices...BUT I certainly do miss my wonderful little guy Everett...the KING OF COSTCO SHOPPERS!!!

[@AdaLover]

Blessed morning ❤

[@annahoover5296]

I watch her all the time,love watching her and her dad shop.

[@ParticularlyKat]

I love Planting Birches (Megans) channel! So excited to hear you guys collaborating. She just uploaded her grocery haul so I look forward to seeing the price differences!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thanks Kat! So glad to have you here! Meghan is great, glad you can enjoy both!

The Bundaberg ginger beer is made in Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia . I am from Australia and when I was in Queensland, I went to Bundaberg and I went to the factory where they make the ginger beer

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

How fun!! We really like it! Thanks for watching!

[@berniceb2636]

Hi Lauren This Alaska Life! I enjoyed this video! Happy Holidays! Great video!

[@meganross]

We mix our eggnog with Vernors ginger ale here in Michigan!!! So delicious. It cuts the richness and adds some bubbles!

[@lesliemonty31]

Our family likes this combo too. Very refreshing.

[@reneeholbrook410]

So cute in his robe!

[@lesareek5376]

Yes all decorated over three weeks

[@ginabusby9958]

He is soo handsome in his robe! All the prices are pretty comparable in nevada, except our waters are 3.49. I was shocked to see them at 7.99!

[@soniaibarra1926]

My husband went shopping today and the prices are also going up in the middle of Michigan. Onions $1.29 a pound, butter $24.36 for 4 pounds and cod $9.99 a pound.

[@karlaruter3221]

Hi from Australia! those Bundaberg ginger beers are delicious and made in queensland. We always have them for your xmas because its so hot here on christmas day

[@brilliantbutblue]

Dunno about Christmas Day but damn it's been hot here in Melbourne this weekend 34o at 9pm 🙃

[@samhouston1979]

[@jacquelineanderson5011]

Got tree up and presents under it all done.

Wonderful! Merry Christmas 🎄

How cute, Everett lost a tooth. I enjoyed shopping at Cosco with you. Enjoy the rest of your evening & weekend. Love you folks too!

[@christinakilkelly5821]

Hi Lauren I’m watching from Christchurch New Zealand it is Sunday morning I love watching you do your groceries. Food is very expensive in New Zealand.

[@memawnugget9839]

My granddaughter who is six customized her own American Doll and it was 234.00 $. Lol. So that price was a good deal to me. She loves it and it looks like her so it was worth it to this old Memaw.

[@shannonearhart]

New follower from Minnesota! I love watching your videos :)

[@LL-xb3xv]

Wow it was great to see Bundaberg ginger beer, that’s made just up the road from me in Queensland, Australia, we love it

[@justagirlturning.5070]

Tree went up last evening and is partially decorated! Love your channel.

[@amandaraisor2516]

Yay I love both of your channels. Yes I’ve decorated for Christmas. Enjoy your weekend.

[@beautifulflorida]

Great choices! Amazing store! Thank you for sharing!

[@nancyarnold8374]

Use green gobbler from Walmart. It's one a month really works great .

[@shellypasqualetto2742]

Yes all decorated for Christmas my best friend Sandy did it for me as I cannot how wonderful it is to have a friend that can do things for you and loves to decorate. It is absolutely beautiful. I do miss Everett on your Ventures to Costco but I bet you it is getting in and out a lot quicker. Also loved your Hawaiian vacation videos take care God bless

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I am so glad you had a friend to do that for you!! Merry Christmas!

[@LoboLady2007]

Salad kits are great all around in general as everything you need is included. You don’t have to go get a bunch of separate different items like salad dressing that might not get used up. Than just add some protein and make a meal out of the salad kit!!!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I’m obsessed with salad kits. Great way to get out of my salad rut!

[@doloreslee9330]

Good Morning Lauren. I love your hauls. I can’t imagine-14 degrees. 😢

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Hello!! Thanks for spending time with us, we are so grateful.

[@kaycuneio7226]

Put the tree up day after Thanksgiving, but it usually goes up a week or two before. Our Pastors family decorates at the end of October! Loved your Hawaii video.

[@ginagina9720]

I have a lot of Pyrex casserole 🥘 dishes and also a air fryer but I use my casserole 🥘 dishes for my stews and casseroles! I love ❤️ watching your shopping 🛒 hauls from the uk 🇬🇧

[@quirkylittlefox8333]

My tree is up, but my two cats have decided that half of the ornaments belong on the floor. I was hoping they outgrew trying to climb it (they're two now), but no such luck hahaha

[@patymattoon8598]

We used to use Charmin but switched to the Kirkland toilet paper and since we did that 2 years ago we stopped having issues with the septic system(toilet paper backing up the tubes) 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Glad you found something that works for you!

[@Jaywahoo810]

Just watched Planting Birch's channel. New subscriber here

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Welcome! So happy to have you here!

[@loismcvey8846]

Yes, my tree is up

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

The cranberry jalapeño dip is delicious. I bought it myself because they were sampling it and I went back for a 2nd. I am sure homemade would be even better, but I highly recommend the Costco product

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

P.s. our prices in western Washington are a little lower, but not by much and we have to pay tax so I think it’s comparable in the end. Plus we don’t have the Alaska resident rebates to make it a little more bearable.

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

I buy the madras lentils and the quinoa and brown rice packets. Microwave them for 90 seconds and eat together with a lot of Cholula hot sauce. It’s a tasty dupe for red beans and rice and only takes 90 seconds to make.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thanks for the heads up! I think I will grab it when we are having a Christmas gathering. Thanks!!

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

@@ThisAlaskaLife I hope you enjoy it!

Completely decorated. We start the day after Thanksgiving.

Awesome! That is usually when I start but this year we did a little excursion that day, so I am just now getting around to it!

Welcome! So grateful you're here. Hope you enjoy watching!

[@marystevens6245]

I just watch Megan at planting Birches and she told to watch your channel which i already do because I loved watching Everett. I also was anxious to see the difference in the prices. .

[@lynsmith2698]

Hi ya. We live in a remote area in northern BC and our Costco is in Prince George about two hours away. You prices are similar to ours. Some of ours is more expensive, lie, choc chips are about 15.00. I only go to town every two months but getting my list ready for our next trip before Christmas on the 12th. Great video, thanks 💕🇨🇦

Thanks for another Costco haul. As you show them, I call out to Alexa and add things I'd like to look for at our Costo in Chesapeake, VA. LOL! Wow, that halibut would sit on the shelf at that price. Our tree is not up yet because we are transitioning households. My adult niece is moving out this week but next week it all comes out!

YUMM!! We really enjoy it!

[@audreysimpson6049]

@@ThisAlaskaLife There are a variety of flavours available. For Christmas there is a spiced drink that is delicious

[@audreysimpson6049]

I find it interesting seeing the similarities in prices and item’s availability between Alaska and Australia. On the flip side I get jealous with items not available in Australia 😊

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I am glad you enjoy it! I know what you mean, I see people on instagram talk about things I cannot find in Alaska and I feel a bit left out! Probably for the better that I have less shopping options!

[@AlaskaBoys]

What kind of things do you see on the videos that you can’t get in Australia?

[@audreysimpson6049]

@@AlaskaBoys the bacon and pineapple sausages. The different types of bread and cheese

Good Morning Hamm Family ❤️ Those AK prices still give me sticker shock 😲 Thank you for sharing your shopping hauls. It makes me feel just a wee bit better after one of mine 🙂 Mr Toofless looks adorable in his new robe. When Bry was little we bought matching pjs and robes for him and Mark... adorable Dad with his little mini-me 😍 At first I thought the snow pants were for Everett, but then Weston went straight for them. Cutie 😊 I love eggnog. My 3 favs are: Original, Pumpkin Spice and Vanilla Spice. I always look forward to it this time of year. Yum 😋 Have a Blessed day/Sabbath. Yah's Blessings ❤️
