Where's the Beef?

My new hire packet contained an ad for the AC store. I thought everyone should see this. Yes, I understand that the cost of living is greater. It isn't that bad because teachers have been living up there for a very long time. There were several teachers that have been with the school district for 20 plus years. 

Remember to smile when you view these!


This is the complete ad that was sent to me. 



Value pack seems to have some good stuff in it. I can use the ham bone for stew and there's some variety to it. 




Get out the grill for this one. We don't eat lots of steaks and spare ribs in this house. 



Super Value Pack might be for us. The Sampler Pack might be a good start for our freezer. 



Boat Pack? I guess for the fisherman going out to sea for a bit. It does contain lots of the meat the girls and Toby enjoy. 



Ah, no. We gotta have more than just cow in our freezer!





We gotta have more than just Porky in the freezer!



I like the Economy pack. I'm not sure what to do with an beef oxtail. 



Don't get upset with me or complain about I'm spending too much money. I haven't made a decision on how we are going to get meat. We are going to take coolers with us on the plane. Coolers with lots of meat and fresh produce. We will not starve.

Stores in Barrow

The internet has been very helpful in researching Barrow. There are two stores in Barrow. One is a locally owned and the other is the AC store. Its like a large NEX/PX for the military people out there. I looked online at the ads for the AC Store. Prices are higher than what I pay now. I plan to only shop at these stores for little things and do the majority online with Amazon or other free shippers. I thought everyone might get a kick out of the ads so I posted them.
