- Welcome to Nome, Alaska
Join us as we explore how much a small grocery run to Hansen Trading Company cost.
You probably won't be surprised and none of these are really specialty items -- just a general haul.
Thanks for visiting us in Alaska!

Very interesting!
Glad you think so!
Nice, run all the stop signs. Like driving a boat?
Like driving an ATV in Nome
I wanted to ask the cst is better in there or not ?
Im nt livin in us thts why I asked ...
Generally Nome is more expensive than the rest of the US.
Wow I paid 4$ for a case of Mountain Dew . The cucumbers 🤦♂️ their 79cents here in pa
Pretty crazy, huh?
Do you have things shipped by USPS in the prepaid box where weight doesn't matter, probably be cheaper for things like brei, let me know and Ill but together a package for you.
Yeah, some stuff we have sent to us via Amazon, sometimes it come in USPS and sometimes direct to the door. Other times we have to go to one of the airlines processing place out by the airport. There is no direct to door mail, but UPS does that.
Never done a pre-paid box -- never heard of it.
Something to look in to.
Came back again, how warm or cold is it there? Because I live in Missouri and tomorrow it’s supposed to be 104 degrees 🥵 haven’t had rain in 2 months.
Been in the 40s and fifties and rainy this week....
@@ToNomeAndBeyond Lucky man, 😫 we Missourians need the rain and cool weather so bad, it’s 102 degrees out right now 🥵
Ground beef here is 3 bucks JESUS also I live in America but not Alaska, I live in Hollister Missouri, also a very very old town.
Yeah....everything is super spendy here.
lol 😂! I remember getting the weekly Nome Nugget, mostly for the coupons!
Ha!!!
😎 👍
🤟
Where can I order the hand cream
Um....not sure I remember what you're talking about.
are they any sport clubs or groups in Nome
HS Basketball is big here. And if you're into motory type sports, snow machine racing, and there's dog mushing. One person is looking into starting a ju jitsu group up.
Wow...how do you survive with those prices?? In summer months, I can get a 12 pack cans of soda just like you bought for 1.88, mostly around summer holidays like 4th of july. If you are paying 5 or 6 times prices for food, I would assume the wages in your area are 5 or 6 times higher??? If not, how do you survive...
Idk...we just kinda do....I think a lot of people go without some stuff that we are ok paying for....
In Texas all that would have cost under $40 at my local HEB.
Yeah....I wish I has paid more attention t to what I paid for stuff back in Minnesota, probably a quarter to half of what I spend per trip.
Those are shockingly high food costs. It should never be that way. God bless.
It's the cost of getting food here....has to be flown in....thus heavier and bulkier thing cost WAY more than in lower 48 and things in general more expensive across the state, juat more so in remote areas.
To Nome n beyond.... shipping obv is the obstacle to food affordability....however from this small sample MTN dew at 26. Bucks def a luxury...over 25% of money spent...tbh the actual fd prices are not alot higher than small town ont Canada tourist trap stores..
@@stevewight1409 oh for sure, the soda was the MOST expensive part. But prices are considerably higher than they were in Minnesota.
Are there any places to tent camp, I know some people shack up on the beach but that seems a little sketch
I am sure there are. I know people do it on the west beach. The miner's do. Check out the Nome Visitor's Center -- they might have some more specific info on that -- and I'll see what I can find out.
My research is showing me that hotels and rental vehicles are high up there too. At least tourist might not stick around too long.
Hotels and vehicle rentals can be expensive, particularly at certain times of year.
@@ToNomeAndBeyond there may not be enough for the tourists to stay there for more than a couple of days.
No reason to stick around, the ones that do are the Birders, the rest come and look and leave. Either to someplace else remote, or back to civilization. Also you can get care package from elsewhere to take the sting out of buying stuff. We had my friends parents for that.
Just wondering wouldn't it be cheaper to order through the mail?
For things sure, but the tortillas for example, when they finally get here, they are crushed and then on something shipping costs are just dumb....:)
@@ToNomeAndBeyond That really sucks. What's really stupid is our government could find a way to make it cheaper like spending some of those billions of taxpayers money sending weapons to another country to help fight a war that isn't even close to being are fight Not to mention leaving hundreds of millions in military equipment over seas to the enemy when they could instead take that money and figure out how they could make it cheaper for all of you clear up in Nome Alaska.
@@randallrobert332 yeah....infrastructure in Alaska is a big deal. But I think the tax base here and sparse populations over a SUPER MASSIVE area is hard justify a lot of spending on...right now post is really slow cuz it has to stop in Seattle then Anchorage, then it's a matter of passengers first on planes and then what the rest the plane can carry....so your heavy item might take longer to fit on a plane for delivery. Also, FedEx and USPS don't deliver to the door here....and a lot of places won't deliver to a PO box. So it's just hard.
So how much weight have you lost since moving to Nome?
about 10 lbs.
great video, i know its expansive up there. long time ago i always wanted to go there, but now its all just faded hopes and dreams now . married got kids it aint gonna happen anytime soon and now with the hole covid 19 bu**sh** we aint going nowhere. i did always wanted to write my name on a peace of paper standing next to the ( welkom to nome sign ). xp have fun up there trust me you are not missing anything down here.
Lol -- yeah -- sometimes i miss driving a real car -- versus our ATV, but it's not the end of the world. :) Well, Nome kinda is, but not driving a car isn't.
Actually, it may be safer there than rest of the world!
nome looks much bigger than id imagined
It's not huge, but its not small village...there are many much smaller.
Dollar store allergy tablets where i am from in nome 30 bucks wow
Stupid spendy!
So are you a miner and what are some other Nome jobs that people do that aren't mining.
I am not miner and I spoke some of the other jobs in town on my latest video.
2 cases of liquid sugar.
2 cases of liquid fake sugar.
$43 dollars in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 cartons of soft drink 🥤 $15 x30 pack milk 🥛 3 lt $3
Pretty crazy the cost addition for shipping stuff up here.
Target usually ship most of their groceries sir. I order most of our household stuff from there with free shipping.
Interesting....I will have to look into that....thank you!
Cost is not too bad. Am sure salaries are high too
Depends on the industry your in.
Ground beef here is 3 bucks JESUS
Ha!
No toilet paper oh my gord man? Lol would be interested in the price of cigarettes there??? here they are $28 + for a pkt of 20s Red omg. Thank you kindest thoughts to you and your family from Victoria Australia
I think smokes are around 10 bucks a pack....depending on brand.
Roughly double the cost of what I’m used to
Yeah....that's about right here, back in MN.
Wow I could get all that here for around $50.
Yeah....its pretty insane.
Dang, and I complain of those tortillas being $4.50 here in California huehue
Haha....and we are lucky they even in stock.
Lemme me move in witcha I'll help wit bills lol
Everyone in Nome should Slim and Fit LOL
Nah -- you can still get sugar stuff -- we were on keto at the time and not buying junkier foods.
He means the prices are to high to eat lol
Well, learn to like whale blubber, wild game, ptarmigan( willow grouse) fish. Grayling are abundant and great tasting fish. Dungeness crab are great.
So expensive!
Yup -- it is!
It seems expensive for alaska :(((((
Yeah -- it's spendier than Anchorage for sure.
You must make a large salary.
That's subjective.
That’s only 40 in the us I have to say I would never live out there I spend 400 an month in food that’s means I would pay1200 hell no
Well, TBH, some of what I bought wasn't budget conscious, I bought what I generally buy. I don't normally try to figure out the most economical trip. It was an average small trip FOR US...and doesn't reflect everyone's experience -- I am thinking about doing one that shows a more locally average trip, with things that aren't more fancy, like low-carb tortillas.
The prices are outrageous definitely not for me
Yeah....we knew going into it they were high, so we were prepared...
So most people in ak are on welfare or no? What industry is there to afford these prices I get it by the way everything needs trucked in.
Yes, there are more people in AK receiving assistance per capita than any other state (at least according to google in 2014). But you must keep in mind how very rural and remote most of the state is -- where it costs a lot of even to just get basic resources to those locations which are often really subsistence level areas and as such these locations are generally poorer and require assistance. Tribal organizations and gov't services provide assistance to a good number of people, sure.
@@ToNomeAndBeyond And they supplement it with hunting and fishing if they can...
Mostly government employees there
