Shopping on the North Slope is not like home. There is no mall with a few hundred stores. In fact, in Barrow there is only one large store callled the Stuaqpak. It has groceries, electronics, clothing, and automotive supplies. However, everything costs more...a lot more. Rob and Jeremy told me to bring my camera because I would be surprised. And surprised I was! Sometimes pictures say more than words...
Diet Pepsi...You have no choice. This is obligatory. Aren't you glad it's on sale?
The bananas are on sale too...$2.49 per lb.
Milk...it does a body good.
I love potatoes...almost as much as I love tomatoes!
Wonder Bread...$5.39 per loaf.
If you'd like to add some orange juice to your cart, it's on sale too.
Although they're not on sale, these apples look pretty nice. They're only $8.99 for 3 lbs.
We had to pack our food in boxes so we could put it on the plane to Atqasuk and now, we eat. My question to you is what can you buy with $50? Don't forget to add the additional $.80 per lb. charge to carry it on the plane to Atqasuk. At least you don't have to worry about sales tax because there is none in Alaska!
