I totally understand the obsession with cucumbers in salads, marinated or not. Even though my kids are adults and don't live with me, my marinated cucumbers are still one of their favorite things.
Good night Lauren and Mark and family and thank you for sharing your beautiful day
Binge watching.
I don't have to explain how hot it gets here in Florida! 🥵🌞
AC is a must! I've even turned it on in the Winter when need be.
Seems like we go from Winter straight into Summer and back to Winter! Skips Summer & Fall!
We'll have heat until at least October possibly Winter. I wear shorts & sandals pretty much all year round here. It's been known to get to 80° in December! I'm not complaining! 😂
I don't like cold weather! 🥶
Nice haul! Have a great vacation! 🥰
That is such a different experience than up here. Sounds like the perfect place if you don't like the cold! Thanks for being here.
l use that bacon crumble for breakfast wraps
YUM!!
I live in South Louisiana and our heat wave starts in June thru September. The humidity & the dew point really makes a difference. Costco is about a thirty minute drive from where I live but Sam's Club is a ten minute drive 🚗 so I go there once every two weeks. The prices are about two dollars cheaper. I am so happy you showed the prices, thanks. I also follow Happy Girl Alaska on CZcams.
Hello and welcome. Our heat wave lasted about 5 days, not 4 months like you! I grew up in Texas and remember the heat and humidity. Costco is about a 20’minute drive for us. I absolutely love Sams club but they closed down in Alaska 3 years ago and I am still sad about it. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day!
I love watching grocery shopping at Costco....
Yay for Costco Lovers! Thanks for being here!
Yesss...the beacon is really good in homemade biscuits with cheddar cheese...💜
YUM!!!
I live in the uk when its really hot its very hot and I melt it
Its good to kno how prices vary in different countries and peoples life styles because maybe I can incorporate them to my life style this year im trying to eat healthy and lose weight so watching these videos is a step in the right direction for me
It is so fun to connect with people around the world. I am working on eating healthier as well, I need to share an update soon.
@@ThisAlaskaLife that would be lovely
because im constantly ill
That pasta looked so good!!!
So good! Thanks for watching!
Love this 😅🎉😂❤
You have left me very hungry and craving a big Greek salad! 😁 I love the bacon crumbles for salads and omelets and bagels make great sandwiches! Hope you guys have a blast on your trip!
We had a great time. Lots of work and lots of fun. The videos are coming soon, I am working through all the footage now. And yes, we just had a big Greek salad again tonight, I am OBSESSED! Have a great weekend Myra.
If u buy green unripe pears put them on counter in brown paper bag for a couple days. They’ll ripen fine works good for peaches too
Thank you so much! That has been a game changer for us, someone else suggested it too! Thank you!
You have to try the a coconut Keto cluster ....we call it “Costco Crack “ because they are so addicting . They are clusters of nuts , pumpkins seeds , coconut and sweetener . Keto friendly .
Thanks for the tip! I'll have to try them. Have a great weekend!
Just joined and I really enjoy your day and life living in Alaska. Very enjoyable and interesting. Aloha from California 🤙
Welcome! I am so glad you found us! We love living here in Alaska and are having a fun time sharing a bit of our life. Hope you have an amazing week!
Hi i just found your video. You madee me soo hungry whoching your great video. Lol. Greetings from Uk London.
Hello Corinne! I am so glad you found us! I get hungry editing my videos as well! Have a wonderful week over there in London!
Going on trips are fun. Getting ready for them not so much. Looking forward to seeing some of your float trip.
It should be out tomorrow morning. Hope you enjoy it. And...cleaning up after a trip, even more work!! 😂
You seem like such a genuinely kind person. Had fun watching your haul video
Thank you so much 🙂 I am glad you enjoyed it. I am grateful to have people watching, thanks for being here Melody!
Enjoyed the video 😊
I live in the midlands, England and love watching things like this. The prices are so expensive, it blows my mind!! Thank you for the insight and lovely way to present it 🤍✌🏻
Hello Amy! Thank you so much for watching. It is always eye opening to see how things are priced in different areas and I love that we can connect from around the world! Have a wonderful weekend!
I’ll
Cccc
Ccccooooooooo
83 degrees? Wow!! It’s been like 95 with a feels like 110 in Connecticut. I think I would love it if 83 was hot. I hope you had fun on your trip.
Yep, we would be hosed at 95 degrees. My kids can barely stand 75. Thanks for watching, we had a wonderful time on the trip.
I bought some of those Women’s Danskins leggings last year. Loved them so much just bought those same camo ones you got. I’m up to 4 pairs now😂. I can’t help it they’re so soft, have pockets, inexpensive and wash up great.
I love them too! I bought another pair when they went on sale. I needed new workout pants and I agree, you can't pass these ones up, they are just too good of a deal! Thanks for watching Melisa, I always look forward to your comments.
$92 in gas at $3.25/ gallon.
Most stations here near me in Northern Ohio are around $3.09, Sam's Club was $2.67!! So I filled up, and I do it first thing too. Not because I will drive off after, but because the price has gone up while inside before, and I am not taking that chance. Lines were so long for the $2.67 gas, it took forever to get to a pump.
I bet, that is a good deal @ $2.67. Fill up before they realize it’s a glitch or something , right. Thanks for watching Rachel!
Greetings from the English Lake District. Another great video.
Hello Norman! Thanks for watching. I appreciated your e-mail the other day. Nice to know who is enjoying our videos on the other end!
Hi Friends,
Someone needed a snack box from Australia BEFORE the float trip!! We have that ice cream party box at our Costco but neither of us are that in to Ice cream to be worth buying, but it looks so much fun. The meal you made was delicious that meat wow lucky cousins👍
The yummy box arrived in time for Mark and Hunter to go in their Caribou hunting trip and they said the snacks made them so happy after their long hike! The meat was amazing and everyone really enjoyed it.
I work at this Costco and was looking for myself! Lol Great video by the way. 👍
Thanks! I'm there every week, say hi if you see me with my camera!
@@ThisAlaskaLife For sure! 👍😀
You are a brave brave woman!!! I shop with a list but typically I go through the store thinking I can remember all that is on the list. When I get to the back of the store I check my list and as I wander back I pick up all the things I missed. Lol Have a great trip. Can’t wait to see the pictures, I’m sure they will be beautiful as always!!
The trip was amazing, trying to sift through all the footage! Hopefully I can share it in a few days. Thanks for watching Tina! - Lauren
Wow that dinner looked 🤩🤤
Love seeing ur Costco hauls. Don’t even get me started on Fred Meyer the other day I went JUST for a few produce items and I ended up spending $80 😱. And it’s funny u mention the cucumbers because I actually bought an English cucumber at Fred Meyer ended up costing me $4.99!!! For only one 😩
Hey Michele! Thanks for coming along. The FM kills me, I never feel like I am buying anything and it is so expensive. I think I grabbed one of those $4.99 ones earlier this summer too. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, are you going to be going to the fair?
@@ThisAlaskaLife hahaha yes always I especially keep an eye out for what u show on ur videos and that helps me make my list before I head to the Anchorage Costco cuz it is quite a drive from Wasilla 😆. But yes I mean the closest grocery near me is Fred Meyer or Walmart so that’s a bummer. We are for sure gonna try to visit the Fair how about y’all?
@@micheleramirez I am obsessed with the fair. Hoping the weather will be good and I can take the kids one day.
About 80 with a nice ocean breeze here in Ventura County, Ca. Gas? About $4.50
Hello Thomas! Thanks for watching. 80 with a nice ocean breeze sounds just about perfect. The gas prices in CA seem to be the highest of anywhere!
I did not think it got that hot in Alaska 83° wow
Hello! Yes, we can get a little heat spell every once in a while. thanks for watching!
I have to laugh…just bought a bunch of those dividers for my fridge and kitchen. We bought those goggles and that bunk bed but ended up not needing it. And don’t even get me started about Greek salad…it’s my daily go to!
We must be sisters or something. LOL
I have the same crates!
My husband and father in law are in Alaska right now on a big trip. They just visited Homer today and I know Kodiak is on the itinerary. I have agoraphobia and do not travel, but I found myself envious of the cooler weather that they are in right now. Summers in the Willamette Valley ( Oregon) are a miserable nightmare. I get sick from the heat, I'd much rather be cold.
The Costco prices you shared seem pretty close to the prices I saw last time we went for groceries there in late July.
Hello Rebekah! I am sorry you cannot travel but I hope you enjoy these adventures on our channel so you can feel like you are here. We are not good in heat either, my kids can do rain and snow and wind but when it gets hot they all lose it. Thanks for watching and have a great week. Hope your husband and father have an amazing Alaska adventure and keep dry, it is quite rainy right now.
Yum, I want to eat at your house 😀
Come one over 😉 always making something tasty!
Ohio is starting to cool off also. I find myself grabbing either a sweater or sweatshirt in evenings now. I've never had moose does it taste similar to deer? I mix cucumbers with tomatoes in a Italian dressing, it makes a easy simple lunch.
Moose is better than deer in my opinion. It doesn’t taste like much if you process it correctly, pretty much like extra lean beef. Moose is our favorite. This video was filmed in July and now we are really starting to cool off!
I drive away too!!!
Glad I'm not the only one to totally forget! Thanks for watching Dana. - Lauren
Your heat wave, is MUCH different than ours. 😂 Our heat wave is 95+ and with the heat index it feels lover 100+ it's hot here. I am a winter person. I miss my fall and winter days.
Also I just wanted to confirm that you received my email for the monthly winner Alaskan gift basket. I forgot to tell you I emailed you my address. If you didn't receive it let me know!
I didn’t find the email. I kept checking. Can you try emailing me at laur.hamm@gmail.com
Does it get really hot there? Our summers get miserable here. We get 80s and 90s sometimes triple digit with heat index and humidity is awful. Last couple years June, July and August push 90-100 degrees pretty much everyday. It was 60s and 70s here last month in the middle of Deer hunting season. I was cursing mother nature everyday all day.
We sit in the 70s and lower for most of the summer. It gets hotter in the interior of Alaska. We will get a few days in the 80s and 90s and also some cool days in the 50s
@@ThisAlaskaLife That's not bad at all.
I will be in Fairbanks in a few weeks to visit my daughter. She is having baby #2. Im super excited to see them and visit AK for the first time ! Any advice for packing ?
Hi Laura! That is so exciting, congratulations. Yes, I have some suggestions... think layers. A fleece sweatshirt or jacket is really the best thing. You will most likely need a raincoat and some boots that are waterproof. Wool socks, even cheap Costco ones are a year round staple for us. Those are my main suggestions, let me know if you need more. Proper clothing = a good time no matter the weather!
49 cent for a cucumber 🥒 in Southern Ireland
Do your boys sleep in bunk beds we had two set for our four boys
Nope, we have them all is their own beds for now. Bunk beds would be nice though
@@ThisAlaskaLife there nice but a pain to make
Wow veggies in Alaska are expensive
Hi Coleen! Yes, veggies are very expensive and a lot of them are often bad by the time they get here. Thank you so much for watching. ❤️
You would absolutely die if you saw some of the prices in northern Canada!!!
We need one of those tower fans and they don't have them here.
Oh no! I hate it when you can't find what you see at someone else's Costco. Hopefully you are cooling off with some rain! Have a wonderful weekend!
We found them! Went today and picked up a few.
@@adamhutchings2446 oh good! Glad they had some.
hi im from omaha ne but im in bellevue now i have had deermeat before but what does moosemeat taste likeis it good??
i bet salmon is tasty
Salmon and moose are both wonderful. We eat well out of our freezer. We are going to do a taste test video this winter of all our meat and try to explain the taste of each. Thanks for watching Debbie! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Sure glad I don't have to pay your grocery bill.
Hi Donna! It really is a lot but I am so used to it by now that we just budget for it and live our life. Alaska is expensive all around but we don't want to be anywhere else so we will just keep sharing the adventure with all of you! Have a great week!
8 love your show
This is Tammy Jeffries I do not go buy a list either if I did go buy a list I wouldn't get what I so I don't do it
