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...

If you have military commissary privileges, you can stock up on essentials when you are in Fairbanks/Anchorage. We found groceries to be very expensive in Canada and dining out was worse. There are Wal-Marts along the way and we found the produce to be very good. Do not plan on buying much in Tok, AK. We spent $12 for a loaf of bread and a small bag of cookies at the local grocery store. Fast Eddies in Tok is outstanding, especially the prime rib special on Friday nights. We generally eat at home because we find most restaurant food sub par. The best place we ate at in Alaska was Hometown Burgers in Valdez and their Southwest Burger was one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. It was $15 though. We really enjoyed our trip and will be returning in 2017.
