Outdoor Fridge

We made a quick stop at the grocery store during our lunch break and get this... WE LEFT THE GROCERIES IN THE CAR ALL AFTERNOON!! Yep. Our groceries included all the perishable stuff like milk, yogurt, ground beef, lunch meat etc, but when you live in a place that is 5 degrees, your car might as well be the fridge.   Just another one of the perks of living in Alaska :) You get sunlight and I get an outdoor fridge.

Sadly, we left our favorite grocery store chain behind when we left Texas. Goodbye HEB. We will miss you greatly.  Up here, the major chains are Fred Meyers and Carrs, which is owned by Safeway. Overall, we've been pleasantly surprised at the selection-- peppers AND tomatillos! But the prices make me wanna scream--every time I'm at the checkout. Hopefully, it will get easier to pay $6 for a 10 oz box of cereal. Right? $3 for a gallon of milk? No? What about $8 for some asparagus? I'm starting to get the message...
