On the road shopping list
Just wondering what to shop for that might be hard to get or expensive in Canada or AK. First big trip we need to travel light.

One thing you CAN get at Fred Meyer's (at least in Eagle River/Anchorage) is local produce from the Mat-Su Valley. They sell carrots, potatoes, cabbage, and I *think* the cauliflower and broccoli are local, too. This is all IN SEASON - not necessarily year-round. IIRC, they did a pretty good job of labeling them locally grown. The difference in taste is unreal - the carrots especially. They are like sugar candy, and never, ever have that nasty woody center. And they are humongous, too.
