Going to an Alaska grocery store for the first time? Expect a little sticker shock.
Here is what it would cost to feed a family of four, with two children age 6 to 11, in 18 Alaska cities and towns.
For comparison, the same groceries would cost $94 in Portland, Ore., a commonly used comparison city where transportation costs are much lower.
In this chart, Anchorage includes Eagle River, Chugiak and Girdwood. Mat-Su includes Palmer, Wasilla, Talkeetna, Willow, Houston and other towns of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.
Location Weekly grocery bill
Anchorage Municipality $107
Bethel $187
Cordova $163
Delta $132
Dutch Harbor $167
Fairbanks $120
Haines $155
Homer $144
Juneau $124
Kenai-Soldotna $128
Ketchikan $116
Kodiak $142
Mat-Su $119
Naknek-King Salmon $214
Nome $173
Seward $132
Sitka $128
Tok $117

minimum wage is around the 7.00 range and everything is very expensive there but the best place to live unfortunately is archange as that is where all the businesses are at. so hope that helps do a google on alaska and you will find more of the info out on the area you want to live in.
