Alaska: packing the larder vs. ferry and border crossings

We periodically shop in Bellingham and find American customs much more stringent than ours although meat is a major concern. Getting Canadian bought food into Alaska might be an issue which is why we don't stock heavily on our way to the U.S. With our dollar dropping like a brick, you may find it cheaper to buy groceries here although some items like grits or grass fed beef will be hard to find. We like our steaks grain fed.
