I gotta admit I love these shopping in far away area videos, gives me a good cost perspective XD
I'm a doctor living in the UK and have travelled extensively. Only been to USA twice
Remote places always excite me. Even just shopping prices are so interesting to hear about.
Other 48 States: Groceries are expensive
Alaska: Hold my watermelon
Which is the 50th state then?
This is mostly just in remote towns off the road system. Things are much more reasonable in the developed parts of the state.
Im in North Carolina literally everything is half that price or even a little less
Btw this is pretty good video it desrves more views👍
WHY DO YOU EVEN BOTHER TO TELL US ABOUT NC, THIS IS ALASKA FOOL
3:46 uhhh.....might have been a little prophetic there!
Love this. I thought shipping costs to NZ for things online was insane... And then watch these and soo interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing
How I imagine stores in Nome, Alaska:
Shovels: $2
Salt for snow: 10 pounds for $1
Snow mobile: $35
Gallon of milk: $75
Fresh Pineapple: $100
This is why my family from Kake used to come down and do a huge shopping trip, and send it up on a boat.
did she just say " yellow squursh"....lol
I'm from Unalaska/Dutch Harbor, AK and while it's pretty expensive living out here, it's not as bad as Nome (it's $4.44 a gallon for gasoline). Getting out here is expensive though, it's $500-$600 for a one-way ticket to or from Anchorage.
Sean Peters could you explain to me how the roads and highways work in AK, how far do the highways go?
@@V8trickshot where I am, it's on an island and we probably have a total of 30 miles of road, 10 of which is paved (just an estimate). In some parts of Alaska, the highways extend into Canada, and people can drive to the lower 48. Some parts of the mainland (including Juneau) are not connected by any road system, and the only way in and out is by boat or plane (just like Dutch Harbor). It's inconvenient, but well worth it. :)
Sean Peters is there a road connection none to Anchorage?
@@V8trickshot there is a road connection to Anchorage. I know people who have driven the "Al-Can" from Anchorage to the lower 48, and in the summer time you can drive as far north as Prudhoe Bay. Barrow is not accessible by roads though.
Sean Peters wow thank you for the information! Could you Imagine what it was like when the first prospectors went up there, truly is the last frontier. I wanna take a stab at living in the bush up there
THEY HEARD YOU BOTH COMING TO DO A VIDEO ON PRICES AND LOWERED THEM JUST IN TIME
Pretty hit and miss compared to the matsu valley and kenai peninsula. It seems that everything is about the same or 2 to 3 times as expensive as the kenai peninsula. I hope you folks are all staying safe out there.
I am in shock. THOSE prices are unbelievable, WOW!! And I thought Hawaii was bad. I am in San Diego 🌴and the cost of living is high..Stay Warm!
South Lake tahoe prices are about the same as the parts of Alaska that are on the road system. Take a tahoe vacation if you want a taste of Alaska in price, environment and infrastructure.
I live in NYC, and everything here isn't even as expensive as some people would say. Everything here is a bit cheaper.😑😑
This is just the regular pricing in Canada lol.
Yellow skwirsh... lol!
that was so cute
very cool!
I live in SF bay area and i thought we were expensive lol. But it's the cost of bringing stuff there that makes it so expensive
When all is said and done, even bad neighborhoods in SF are more expensive than the fanciest parts of Alaska. The shelf prices in Alaska can be high in some places, but it's more than made up for in almost every other aspect of life here.
"Goddamnit, the Tourists are filming cost videos again..."
Now I see why so many people hunt for food up there
It costs the same here in Arizona (almost).. The junk food is like twice as expensive
Dang some of the prices are outrageous compared to prices in Texas were I live. Avocado here are about .99 each
What was the hot summer temperature in Alaska?
Wow and people complaint about the dreyes ice cream being 3.99$ 😱😱😱. Chips are 2.99$ here in Texas . Lol people need to stop complaining. How do people make it out there??? Great video as well.
I have seen prices around that high by Morman Lake, except for that watermelon. Plus at PIR (Phoenix International Raceway) $4-$6 per 24 oz can of Bud Wieser or Bud Light, $4-$6 per 24 oz soda. The movie theater prices are high also of course.
And I thought Upstate NY is expensive!
Can you guys do a video now after the inflation?
I remember seeing you guys in Nome
First of all how do you guys have Mountain Dew live wire up there???? I haven’t seen live wire where I’m from in a while lol
In new Mexico prices are about 20 percent of that
Why was there Kirkland signature milk? Isn’t that label Costco exclusive?
Double the price up there. Saving money and staying warm in Florida.
IN NOME I'M MAKING 77K FOR THE SAME JOB IN TEXAS AND FLORIDA WHICH PAY AROUND 38K...SAME JOB......JUST EAT EGGS AND NOODLE CUS THAT'S REGULAR PRICE IN NOME...THINK SMART, DONT BUY EVERYTHING IN THE AISLE
Hunting and fishing definitely a way of life
NOPE YOURE WRONG
If you are referring to offsetting shelf prices, hunting and fishing is a fairly small part of the equation. Lack of smog, almost no licensing or inspection requirements, subsistence farming, wood heating and the overall freedom to do whatever you need to make things happen (providing you are not being distuptive) makes alaska a potentially very affordable place to live. My cost of living is about 1/3 what it was in the lower 48. And i don't hunt or fish.
@Dr. Pyssinshytz Alaskans will give you free salmon and act like you are doing them a favor.
If you have grit and smarts, you can move to Alaska with what it takes to get here. The real question is whether or not you have it in you to stay. Right now you can get small (half acre to acre) land lots for $5k with owner financing which means you can pay $400 per month and have it paid off within a year. But these lots are basically ditches on the sides of the road that you will need to completely build from scratch on. After a while it gets pretty comfortable but early on it's very tough and not everyone has it in them. When i did it everyone was surprised to see me go throughout a winter and not be afraid to tackle the 2nd. Everyone is used to people trying it, deciding it's too much and bailing.
If that's what you want to do and you are prepared to make it work, you can probably get off to a reasonable start with $5k. $10k if you want to buy your land outright and have a comfortable first winter.
Just be prepared for the most physically trying year of your life.
@Dr. Pyssinshytz btw. Alaskans are usually very warm hearted family friendly folks. But no more than a handful will warm up to you until they see you go into your second winter. Once you go through a winter, know what to expect and still stick around for your 2nd, the locals will recognize that you're here to stay and will warm up to you.
@Dr. Pyssinshytz that's kenai peninsula prices. I am not sure about else's. In general the more $ you have at your disposal, the more comfortable moving up here will be. But it's possible to get started with very little if you are willing to endure.
As for me. I am from Alaska. So i had a good idea what i was getting into. I researched everything in as fine detail as i could before i left. My mom bought me some guidebook for traveling to Alaska through Canada. I wound up not needing it.
If you travel through Canada, the culture shock will happen when you enter Canada as west Canadians and Alaskans have very similar manners. The geographic and weather shock will happen about a day into Canada. If you've ever been to british Columbia, climate wise you've been to south Alaska.
In terms of layout, population density, and infrastructure, it's actually very similar to the Florida panhandle.
Word of advice. If you are a liberal, you probably won't get along here. Alaska is a very libertarian place and people consciously and actively defend that principle.
If you are someone who just wants to keep to yourself and fade into obscurity, Alaska is great for that.
I strongly believe there is a serial killer in nome.
There's been over 33 disappearance in that town since the 90s. That's roughly 1 per year.
This fits the profile of a serial killer. He'd be getting old now but people are still disappearing.
Have you guys considered doing a series on this topic?
Honestly I hate old people
During the 90s there was a corrupt police force murdering natives for some reason. Those police were put in prison.
Disappearances in Alaska typically come down to one of 3 things. 1, someone did something stupid. 2, someone got drunk and then did something stupid. 3, someone did something extremely awful and someone in the community made them disappear for the welfare of the community.
In remote parts of Alaska, there is also human trafficking.
Do people in alaska make more money to compensate? I would almost starve on those prices
I remember reading something about how the staples in groceries were fairly cheap but the nonessential foods were a little more pricey
Sounds like it cost twice as much than here in Tampa.
Yya
Cho-Reetz-So 😂😂
So, in other words, don't travel to Nome unless your pockets are lined with gold. Gotch ya!
The same Tide detergent runs $12.00 in San Francisco.
But then again you're not paying $2600/mth for a studio~:)
Considering that I paid $5 pero gallon of gas las year in California, it seems that it's relatively cheap in Alaska
here we are in 2021, and the meat prices in FLORIDA are way higher than that now. Actually, everything's less expensive in this video than in the average supermarket now..
I wonder how to get there they said that you can't drive to there
How can people afford to live up there?
Free rent and utilities, also they get a check from the government. It balances out.
@No Name I'm not sure, I just know they get money from the state government for living there. I think it's a good amount though. Also children get a check as well I believe.
I was raised in one of these communities, just north of Nome. It helps a lot when we eat what we catch! Saves a lot of money.
@No Name I live well off the beaten path in Maine-- it's kind of like diet Alaska. It's funny that you say all you have to do is walk a few blocks for a change of scenery-- I find that to be mundane! To me, I love living in a town/small city and having the wilderness a mere 5 minutes away. Of course, it's also interesting to me to hear how city dwellers feel. :)
@No Name That's cool. I've pingponged around the Northeast US my whole life. Biggest thing I've learned is I am happier out in the sticks!
I would be hunting or farming as much food as I could if groceries were that high here.
Any openings for watermelon salesmen in Nome? At $48 a piece, I can start a new career. Actually, $5 a gallon for gasoline isn't bad, since 98.6% of your driving in Nome is probably just Nome. You're not going to go too far.
Those are crazy prices!
So its about twice the cost from California
These are just regular prices in CONUS now lmao
Holy crap stock up on the ramen
Thanks
That's an expensive watermelon bro
I could never live there. Best wishes to you.
That little bottle of propane in the lower 48, $1.50
San Francisco downtown area prices are about the same. 🤣😂🤣👍

Holly cow everything is really expensive out there 😵
is the third-least populous and the most sparsely populated state, but by far the continent's most populous territory located mostly north of the 60th parallel, with an estimated population of 738,432 as 2015-more than quadruple the combined populations of Northern Canada and Greenland.[4]

What are people making for minimum wage there?
Where the heck are people working in order to afford these prices?
damn. I agree. I'm not from USA.The average person would have to work one hour just to pay for a jar of coffee lol.
whew, and i thought groceries here in hawaii were expensive!! :0
I wish eggs are that cheap.
Sorry but if I live in Alaska, I would NEVER buy a freezer again.
I thought they would buy the food 🤔
50 bucks for a watermelon. How pissed would you be slice open and it's bad....😒
It's more expensive where i live in the islands
I wonder where the world's cheapest supermarket is
It's in an alley off of 3rd St. in Bakersfield California. There's a large dark grey van that parks there on Wednesday & Saturday mornings around 8:00ish.....and you can buy ANYTHING you want on the cheap~
Oh my 48 dollers for a watermelon costco is a better deal for my chips yes it about 7 dollers but its the big bag its a better price
😳
Ok. What’s The average salary?
Im applying for a job in Nome that would normally pay 15 an hour in Texas, but pays 30 an hour in Nome
It is alot more in 2022
Hey you the prices are so outrageous they are unbelievable now I just watched another video where someone went to a supermarket and they were expressing how their prices was high but they are not high as the other supermarkets I mean you have to maintain everything that you will be able to buy some food it is serious I had no idea of how expensive things were there thank you for sharing your video
Wow america is so expensive.
I wonder how much it is now. I live in NJ and most of the prices you're reading off are very similar to what we're paying here now in early 2024...lol! Bidenomics....😂
Squarsh
Well, if you don't like the prices, go somewhere else. Oh, yeah. Then starve I suppose 😁
These prices are cheap compared to Iqaluit Nunavut
These prices were also 3.5 years ago.
What a joke
Those are regular prices in Canada, soon to come to the u.s. because of Biden, but trump will be blamed.
absolutely INSANE
