What should I stock up on?
Alaska-bound later this month and wonder what household/grocery items to stock up on before I cross the Canadian border from NE WA. I will be driving up the AlCan and down the Cassiar. In other word...

We overstocked with food, canned goods, etc. We didn't eat out a lot because DH has salt restrictions. We didn't come near eating everything I had taken, so next time, I would probably go a little lighter. Milk could be very expensive, $8 a gallon in Dawson City, but we use very little of it. I took powdered milk and evaporated which can be reconstituted. Didn't use any of that. I took dried sliced potatoes and didn't use them either. Food was expensive, but I took way more than we would need. While not eating out much, we do enjoy buying and preparing foods/fish we wouldn't otherwise have. And our fisherman neighbors in Ketchikan gave us fresh salmon and halibut daily. Loved those guys!
Eating out was way more expensive than preparing ourselves and we found that many times everything (especially along the cruise line route) was fried in order to serve the masses. We just don't do fried.
I still want to go back.
