ALASKAN COSTCO HAUL | FOOD STORAGE | LIMITING ITEMS? | Somers In Alaska 

I'm all about The Costco Runs. Hope to see more around Thanksgiving and Christmas too. Wow, those Happy People moved there from Hawaii. Talk about a change in Weather

I just love when hubby does the grocery shopping. He spends much more than I do and buys multiples. He panic shops and everywhere is well stocked. Lol

It was fun seeing Audrey coming home from ballet, and introducing her friend. She really seems to be enjoying it. Groceries are so high now. It’s almost unbelievable the prices they want.

I love how Evelyn give it some serious thought before she agreed that she would let Garrett get the cheese balls. 😂

Captain Crunch Berries...oh the childhood memories

I wish I could afford to stock up for my family like this. Everything you hear on the news says to prepare for bare shelves this winter. It would feel like such a relief to know you could get my for a couple of weeks anyway!

Love the couple you ran into! Thank you for serving our country!

We don't have a Costco where we live but we do have a Sam's Club that I frequently shop at. It is getting harder to find certain things and also they've started rationing toilet paper and paper towels again. Have a safe and fun weekend! Blessings!

I swear when I see y'alls notification come across my screen it makes my whole day! Wish I could of met you guys before I left AK. God bless 💕

I love how honest your daughter is and admits she would get the big tub-o-cheeses. No limits on items in the stores we have been too. I have noticed the price of things are up a couple things have doubled in price.

That’s more than affordable. Here in Nova Scotia Canada you don’t tend to leave Costco with a bill under 700. We actually call it the 700 club lol

I love Costco. Having extra canned goods is wonderful. I also drink coffee a lot, so having a BIG container actually saves me money in the long run. Praying for your extended family members. Hopefully the things get cleared up soon. Love from Florida where the temperature dropped to 68° last night. Had to turn off the AC.

Hello! Hope Y'all have a great weekend. Blessings for health and happiness to the Somers Fam. And Happy Peoples.🥰🤗

Hi I'm from South Africa. Our town is about 200km from the Botswana and Namibian border. We don't have a Cosco or Walmart and for us everything is expensive. We shop at our local stores. A loaf of bread costs R12 and no name peanut butter R26.(the R stands for rand) The exchange rate is our price times 14. I you come to SA you are rich!! My town is in the driest parts of SA . Our winters are not long and also not very cold...never ever snow!! Your garden did very well!! Keep warm!! Love from SA.

Hello from Sydney, Australia! Love these vlogs. We are excited as we have a Costco is opening up the road from us (about an hour away). The next closest Costco to us is about 2 hours drive south so its not something we get to do very often. We are still in a "lockdown' situation here until we have 80% double dose vaccination rate. This means that we are limited on only supermarket shopping and the occasional trip to the hardware house but its not recommended to just 'browse'. Prices on toot paper here - for a reasonably cheap/supermarket brand (20 rolls) is $10 and our storage shopping (canned goods etc) would be around $200AUD for basic essentials. We experienced limited items including toot paper when Covid first arrived on our shores. We know how challenging that is and I think we are all cautious about essential item shortages. Shop shelves are often bare and the beautiful supermarket workers are working extremely hard to keep up with the demand. Lots of people are not working here in this lockdown which has been since 26 June. Its hard. We have faith that we will get through this and be able to return to some kind of normal in the next few weeks. It is nice to be able to see Alaska, welcomed into your family life and be able to relax. Thank you guys! Take care.

So I'm a new subscriber. I live in California and I want to move to Alaska. I retired from working at Costco, for 32 1/2 years. Prices are high here also. 3 ribeye steaks at the grocery store were $60.00! Needless to say, no steak for me this month! Costco item limits are the same everywhere. It's set by corporate.

I live on my own, but bought a Foodsaver ($5 at the thrift store!) so I can get meats and veggies in bulk, shop the sales, and freeze them. Love to make from-scratch soups and stews, as well as bread. Autumn is holding on here in Colorado - usually by now we would have several frosty mornings, but none so far.

you guys are helping young people understand how much it costs to have a family you have helped me understand budget and running a family thank you guys for doing your videos sending love from Liverpool UK I will do a video on my channel going to Cosco show the prices everything is over Here xx

Love seeing the kids running around the store helping. Do you not feel a more expensive shop is inevitable when you take your kids shopping with you. Never seen such a huge tube of crisps. 😂 ox

Thank you for sharing the meeting with the couple from Hawaii!! The winter will be very tough but your preparation videos have helped so many!

Do you think you could please make a Spotify playlist of the songs you use in vlogs? They are the perfect study/ chill music

Great job Bert and children for helping mom out with the chores. We all need to help out to keep it going. Great team work. 💕💜❤️

I think I would have gone right back in to grab some more water and TP since it is already limited! Good job Bert, Evelyn, and Garrett! 👍👍👍😇😇😇🤗🤗🤗

I really loved seeing Audrey having fun with her friend. Nice that they are in ballet together. Nice haul at COSTCO. We only have SAMS CLUB here in our rural area. Enjoyed how you met some Happy People in COSTCO! They seemed like an awesome Air Force couple. I want to thank them for their service. I am partial to The Air Force since my daughter and son in law are an Air Force couple stationed in the Las Vegas area.

I showed my wife you guys and she said now she knows why i like yall so much!!

Greetings from Slovakia, Europe! I love your videos, guys. I have been to many states of the US but Alaska seems to be really the most expensive one when it comes to grocery shopping. In Slovakia or most of the EU countries the price for what you bought today would be like half or even a little less. Keep on posting new videos! I hope I will visit this amazing place one time.

You really said “Wisconsin” like a true Midwesterner and I say that with pure admiration.

Hello Happy Family. Prices are up some in South Carolina too. Wishing all of you a glorious day full of sunshine and love.

We don't have a store like Cosco in Germany. But fruit and veg prices are going through the roof, paper product prices increased, but there is no limitation. The price for detergents doubled since last year. I love to see your grocery shopping videos and all the family adventures. God bless you.

I'm in Northern Illinois.. was at Costco on Friday..only limit we saw was on Papertowels and toliet paper. But may I make a suggestion...you buy bottled water..have uz looked into a Berkey..they are a bit pricey, but you use your tap water and the Berkey removes all nastiness out of it. Saves on buying bottle water. I've had mine for 3 years. Omg. Would not ever be without it. Many blessings to all of you 🙏

It was crazy when we had a tropical storm right before I went on vacation. Water and bread went out of stock fairly quickly. But anyway, seeing different prices is always interesting

Hello from San Antonio, wish we had some of your cold weather. We love your channel

I saw a video that showed ships sitting off shore waiting to unload. There is a huge backup because the ports are full. I think there is a shortage of truck drivers. Ok, so now people are going to start freaking out again!

I haven't checked out one of these videos in a good while. I see you are still shopping. It's almost a full time job, and for most of the United States. Shopping, shopping, shopping.

Your Costco Hauls are my favourite videos to watch

It is so fun to watch random people come up to you and say they watch your channel😊 I have been to 48 states but I have high hopes to make it to Hawaii and Alaska someday and then I will come to North Pole and say Hi! 🍀

Hello all .. just did a Costco run last week and did not see any limited items . Pretty well stocked but our local stores Walmart and Stater Bros are out of things and prices have gone up !! I'm in So Cal desert around the Palm Springs area. If you dont already I have a peanutbutter tip ... store the jars upside down it keeps the oils from settling on top of the jar. 💛🙏🌻

Your videos bring peace when I feel like I may fall apart. Thank you so much.

Nice! If you can get in and out of Costco that quickly with kids you are winning ❤️

We have BJ here, bought a little more than you, cost me $400. Regular grocery store a lot of shelves were empty for a few weeks, apparently no truckers and prices went up especially beef. Prayers sent for those in need. Blessings to all. 😊🇱🇷🙏

It's the weekend!!!! Hi happy people from Oregon 🍁

Holy cow, the prices are not much more than here in N.J.. That's how much we spend in a month but it's just me and hubby now that no kids live here anymore. It's like gasoline in that it changes when you look at other states. Keep warm and dry, much love and respect. God bless you and yours, peace.

I hate to say this but you may want to do what we just did with the limits and go everyday or every other day and keep stocking until your back stock is supplied. We brought everything up in July and August so now my parents and I with my girls are now stocking the pantry and back stock as well as our cabinets in the kitchens. Good luck on stocking up and with COVID still around as well as Norovirus I would stock up with enough supplies for the remainder of Winter until the end of June.

Love your family and your adventures. Our son always wanted to go to Alaska. So I feel close to him watching your vlogs. He passed away in 2013 from h1n1 influenza A.

In Maryland our Costco is putting limits on toilet paper. One per household. Chicken nuggets and chicken tenders are getting hard to find. Pudding is hard to find in Maryland. Gatorade is almost wiped out at my local grocery store. We are getting what we can when we can.

just a little note that I was told near Christmas time we will be seeing less stock on shelfs , along with parts to repair things.

People do forget how to drive in snow! Love your family and your Costco special guests were great. :-)

Its just me, so I don't do Costco anymore, but what you bought could last a few years, lol Drive safe when the snow comes, here in So. California, any rain at all is a panic and all that will be on the news is Storm Alert and far too many people act as if driving with some water on the road is a foreign concept. You are going a great job, prayers out to our family!

Our grocery prices and gas prices continue you grow. Gas right now is $3.16 a gallon . From a small town in the Missouri bootheel. Love you show. ♥️

Central AZ- Costco- limit one TP & has not had water for a month or so. Other stores … stocked fairly well. Choices are dwindling and prices are rising/ packaging shrinking. Definitely planning on a large garden next year. Going to try to grow lettuce indoor with LED full spectrum light from Home Depot.

Garrett's milk run was adorbs...best parent award there! :)

Lots of love coming from my little island of Jamaica 🇯🇲. I swear you guys are my favorite youtuber.🥰🥰🥰🥰

Us Albertans will send you stuff! We're locked down, again, but our shelves are always full. No changes there.

Here in Syracuse, NY (central NY) our Costco is limiting paper towels, tp, and water. It’s been hit or miss in the stores for chicken and Walmart is always out of a lot of things but our other local stores have been ok. The items we have noticed are very limited in stores is Winter outdoor clothing our local Dick’s sporting goods had next to none yesterday which in upstate, NY is rare. The snow can fly early here and last, lol! Ammo for the approaching hunting season has been hard to find as well according to my hubby.

Yes the Costco TP has for sure gone up along with everything else

About 2-1/2” of snow on the ground here off Chena Pump Rd. Chicken wing family packs $4.99 per lb at Fred Meyer. Whole chicken $0.99 per lb.

Wow! The one price that really caught my eye was the price of butter. We think we are getting a great deal when we get it for $3.00/lb. Your price was $2.48/lb. We are in Northern Ontario, Canada.

In So Cal. Placed a Sams online order and when I went to checkout they had deleted 7 items including water. Can’t find white vinegar anywhere, no water or limiting. Certain chicken hard to find. Everyone needs to watch expiration dates. We are noticing many things that have long expiration dates normally are expiring much sooner. Our milk has been going bad days before it expires, third time it’s happened recently. Hundreds of cargo ships off our coast for months that aren’t moving.

I'm in NJ, I work at a grocery store many items are out due to manufacture issues but no set limits on items but there 3 items many are having a hard time finding lunch ables hazelnut uncrustables and Capri Sun juice boxes and if you do find them no many are in stock. Right now our weather is still feels like summer some days and other it feels like spring, but the time it feels like fall it will be winter. Here we only have 2 seasons summer and winter, we skip over falls and spring. We don't see snow or bitter cold until Jan sometime early like end of Nov beginning of December.

Interesting to see the price difference, I'm doing a stock up shop on Thursday at Costco here in Ontario, Canada. The roasts are always on the list. Can't beat the price and we have never had a bad one from there.

Happy Friday, SOMERS. I hope you are having a good day. Word on the street is that Fairbanks and North Pole are having snow. Oh my. As a former Fairbanks Alaska resident in my own right, I have experienced snow in late September. That happened six years ago. And now, the snow is coming back again, and once again, the snow comes down early on late September. Much prayers and love to you SOMERS. I hope you stay safe. Continue on your road on getting the giant gold play button. Oh, BTW, I always love these shopping hauls. Someday, I’ll shop at Costco.

I'm excited my husband and I are going to try to make it to Anchorage for the marathon next June! We've never been to AK before.

The stores here just finally got caught up on cleaning n paper products but have no faith it will last.When we had all our kids at home I found doing a meal menu for the entire month and I shopped off that meal plan it cut our bill in half and the kids loved it. They helped make the menu and then would choose what they wanted for that night . Once the meal was selected you cross it off the menu. That way you always had the proper items to make the dinner and it was always a great way to get the kids involved in meal planning and prep.

Water was limited at the Costco near me but one thing they were out of was any chicken, beef or seafood and the price tags were gone too which was interesting

In Alabama TP is $20 for a pack like the one you bought and the rolls are smaller than they were this time last year. I noticed the roast were $7.00 and some change per pound and it’s the same here. The Mac and cheese you bought was about $3 higher than here and the canned goods were about $3 higher per container. Right now we don’t have a limit on anything.

Saw that it was snowing in Anchorage today....gotta love that

The closest Walmart to me here in Southern Idaho does not have any of my favorite toilet paper, but I was able to order it online for delivery to my home! About $20 for 18 mega, 3-ply rolls. About the same price as usual. Last time I was actually in the store, there were no canning supplies at all. I needed several flats and rings, but I was able to get them online for delivery, too! Don't remember the price but it seemed to be reasonable so I ordered some extra. Love delivery service since the store is a 50-mile round trip and there's lots and lots of covid around here right now. May all of you stay well!!!

No limits yet , some store just have late delivery or substitute but prices are raising and I did see it won't s th stop , it was projected in August that by November it wouldn't be a surprise for items to have reached about 60 percent, I been trying to get needed items and canning before it's gone. Buying organic , secondhand or needed basics also giving what I don't need or use to neighbors or churches. I am thankful for prayer keep them coming thank happy people 😄❤

Love love your Costco hauls. Have a great weekend.

What an amazing for me! Hope it was for you too! Can't wait for another Costco haul video!! 😁

You know how I handle limited items? I take the limited amount, bring to the car, then go back in and get more, if I really need it.

Have a good weekend Here in the uk it’s chaos as supposedly we don’t have enough lorry drivers so random holes in supermarkets no limitation if you can find it you can have it Fuel is in utter madness yesterday we queue for 40 minutes to get petrol and on average prices a rising quicker than wages 😂😂

Hahahaha, forgetting how to drive in the winter time! Yep, here too in SE Michigan. I stay off the roads during the first storm for self preservation from other drivers!

Hello Sommers family hopefully your having a wonderful day today TGIF as far as Costco pricing here in BC Canada approximately 14hrs south of North Pole fortunately we do not have the restriction of 1 T P per customer seeing that we also produce the TP here in BC for Costco and water your price is slightly different from ours we pay 3.77 per 35 bottle's also add deposit and taxes on water that we bottle for every store seems crazy this 4th wave of covid hit BC Canada really hard plants shut down now lumber costs recalibrated from 12.98 per board foot now it's worth 3.98 lumber fell 9.00 per board foot so lumber mills are shut down for now to much stock on hand in my town we have 11 Mills 2 pulp mills 1 plywood plant I really appreciate the Information that your channel shares after all we are close enough to Alaska I love when you enlighten us on the weather we got a dusting of well I don't want to jinks you I'm sure you can figure out what we got long range forecast is for more sunny days ahead please keep the awesome vlogs coming thanks.

I'm watching this video knowing that you guys now have snow! I'm so jealous

Your family is so beautiful. Love the kids

Beef is really high right now everywhere. We are sticking to chicken, pork and turkey. Most of the rest of the items were basically the same here in Oklahoma. Burt you are a super shopper. Stay warm!!

Talked to my Aunt In CA. Costco is limiting water and toilet paper where she lives. Enjoy every video, God watch over the Somers Family!

I love the grocery haul run it gives me ideas for healthy foods and new things to try

We have a lot of problems finding items now but a lot of our stores are still closed because of damage from Hurricane Ida. Lately having to go a couple towns over to find what you need. So many homes totally destroyed and in places people are living in camping tents on their property cause they have no where to go.

I love watching y'all's videos. I haven't been to Costco in awhile but my Father went the other day in Hillsboro, Oregon and they were completely out of all brands of Paper Towels! That Costco magician was awesome!! Lol. Oh and those cheese balls are AMAZE BALLS!!!! 😋

In Wisconsin grocery prices are on the rise, we see limitations on items like TP and water at the big box stores. The mom and pop grocery stores don't have limits but have increased prices instead. We concentrate on buying the necessities, cooking at home and cutting out treats from the grocery budget. Hope you all have a blessed day 💕

In the 1960’s my parents shopped at a place called where house market. There were no UPC codes on the goods they needed to write on everything they bought. The cashier needed to punch in every number without mistakes for the final amount.

Nice thing about Costco (if you didn’t know this) if it goes on sale after you purchase it you can go back and get the difference that you spent reversed. They have a record of all things purchased on your card so receipts aren’t necessarily.

Our Sams ( which is like a costco) has a limit to 1 paper towel and toilet paper. I own a restaurant and I’ve run into shortages on different things. One week it’s available, the next week it isn’t. Totally random things are completely unavailable like Onion Rings. We haven’t had in several weeks. Lol it’s just a crazy time! But God is Good and our families are healthy so that’s what’s most important❤️❤️

Love that Burt caved in on Giant tub of cheeseballs Garrett wanted, haven't seen too many rationing items but give it time weather always plays a part in grocery store demands !!

In New Zealand grocery stores are pretty normal. We have a few limits in place on and off but usually on the things on special and or some times because of shortages but yeah it's all pretty normal and open and easy to buy what we need.

We call Costco our 300 dollar club, we never get out of there for under that. However, the to is going up! It was 27 a couple of months ago here.

Thanks for being amazing, God bless you all,and see you in the next video.

This is very interesting. I don't think I could live there but it's fun to see what it's like!

It just got down in the 60’s here and we’ve been freezing. Saw on your Instagram that you all got some snow! ❄️

Northern Michigan here and can confirm 1st snow creates memory loss when it comes to driving 🙈😅

Love your guys channel price are going up every where.hope you enjoy weekend.god bless.💜

Love the truck as always Bert! Blessings!

There are delays on a lot of things here in Jacksonville Florida but you can never tell months down the line change and a heart we're still running at full speed but things change week to week

Haha. Every winter here in northern michigan, everyone has to relearn how to drive in the snow. That made me laugh and cringe at the same time...its coming.

Yes in New Jersey where I live both Costco and Sam’s Club have put now limits on all paper products and water again ( this is within the last two weeks).

the shortages at the costco i work in are mostly because of a truck driver shortage. we have orders in and they are supposedly loaded and on the way, but they just can't seem to get here. i'm sure some of that is drivers are getting vacations in before the big christmas rush. as far as pricing is concerned, you're not wrong about that. most of the prices went up this monday. currently we only have limits on paper products of one per member per day, although we're considering limits on gatorade next so if that's something you buy stock up now.

In my local Costco Green Beans have disappeared. I asked a red vest person and they said the problem is the truck slow down and the port slow down. There is a limit on how much TP, water, paper towels you can buy. This started a few weeks ago. I have also noticed empty shelves at the grocery store. Grocery prices are way up and I am spending more on a weekly basis. It is up $20-$40 per week so when I see a sale I stock up. Yes all prices are going up due to the inflation we are experiencing at this time due to things our government has been doing.

My roommate and I drove there a few years ago back when it was a Sam's Club. It was packed with people buying everything on clearance because it was closing down and this one dude had a cart with 5 mini-fridges (god only knows what for). Then I went here a few weeks before I left Alaska. It's really nostalgic watching your videos. Thanks for making them. :)
