prices of food (Anchorage, Ketchikan, Butte: relocating, health, house)

[chatter5]

my brother says that if we moved to Alaska that a Mcdonald kids happy meal cost around 15.00 and I beg to differ as my family is thinking of relocating there in the summer. also how much does a gallon milk, dozen eggs, pound of butter and loaf of bread cost. we live in Montana and I am checking prices.

Fred Meyer's in Anchorage has the following prices in their current circular:

Gallon Milk: 2 for $7
Dozen Eggs: 2 for $4
1lb Butter: not listed
Loaf of Bread: not listed

Here's a link to the circular. 99504 is the zip code I used.

I doubt that McD's "Happy Meals" cost that, but why put that crap into your children in the first place? Get a fishing license and feed them decent healthy food and forget about the cost of poisonous crap.

A loaf of bread, a gallon of milk, and a stick of butter

(old Sesame Street skit)

bread is around 2.15
soda is 5 to 7 a 12 pack.

happy meals are NOT $15. Most fast food prices are competative with stateside plus about 50 cents.

"fast-food" is a bit more expensive because of the transportation cost of getting it here. The only brand I'm familiar with is Subway, a foot long roast beef will run you $8.25. McD's I refuse to step foot in.
Metla's right, learn to eat normal, eat healthy. You'll live longer.

I like McDonalds in Ketchikan cause of the free WIFI. If you sit in the booth closest to the mall doors.....

yea, I think we would eat more fish that is for sure. I was just trying to prove a point to my brother. we do love fish and I know if we lived there , we would get a fishing license and fish for our food as I loved to fish with my dad when i was younger. thanks for the info

Costco & some of the other warehouse clubs may have better prices.
