grocery prices how much does food cost Alaska food shortages covid19 coronavirus pandemic lockdown
food short supply shortages hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper today I did a quick trip to my
local grocery store which is Carrs which is part of Safeway Alaska grocery store I picked up a few
fresh food items none of this is for long-term food storage but I thought I would share with
you what are some of the local food grocery prices in Alaska for the foods that we buy on an everyday
basis I try to find things food when they're on sale but it isn't always possible so this was
the price of what I paid today for these food items at Carrs grocery store which is Safeway
in Alaska price of food groceries Alaska how much does food cost first I chose some fresh fruits I
bought six bananas for 2.29 raspberries were 6.99 blueberries were 6.49 three apples were 3.61 cents
I bought grapes were 4.99 a pound and this bag of grapes was 12.33 it's hard to get fresh produce in
Alaska any time of year and whenever I do look at the fruit and vegetables I always make sure
if they're already pre-packaged like berries I pick it up I look it over
and I smell it because sometimes they're already moldy inside just simply because it takes so long
for food to be shipped to Alaska to get here and it seems like a crime to pay something like 6.99
for a box of berries get it home and open it and in the middle they're spoiled wherever you
live give your fruits and vegetables the little sniff test make sure you're actually getting fresh
produce save money on food even when you can't see down into the middle of the fruit packaging when I
buy fresh berries I like to give them a vinegar rinse to help them last longer here's a blast
from the past video on how to make a vinegar rinse for produce berries the first food I have are some
blueberries and then I'm going to use my salad spinner to wash and rinse food because I have a
basket and then I have a bowl and they fit nicely together so find some kind of colander or bowl
and put about a quart of water in it the next thing you're going to do is add one cup of white
vinegar you just pour it in and the vinegar is going to kill any of the mold or mildewy
things that get onto your berries produce now you simply take your berries and you dump them
in the vinegar rinse and you swirl them around now rinse your container to get any residue
of mildew or mold off of your container now put a clean dry paper towel into the bottom
shake out your berries
and pour them back into their container now you can place the fruit berries produce straight
into the refrigerator and they're going to last several days longer than they would have without
a vinegar rinse price of food groceries Alaska food shortages I picked up some sausages I bought
some breakfast sausage links for 2.99 and two packages of Italian sausages which are my favorite
at 6.98 each I bought Marie Callender chicken pot pie they're really delicious
and they were on special for 3.37 cents I got some tater tots for 3.99
hot dog buns for 3.49 and a package of ritz crackers that were on sale for 3.99
the Carr's Safeway grocery store in Alaska wasn't busy this morning and there were lots of employees
busy stocking the shelves because a lot of the shelves were emptying out it seems like there's
still plenty of food available even if some of us have been concerned about food shortages

in Alaska and pick up a few fresh foods to enjoy along the way long term food storage if you liked
