~ How much does it cost? ~

The days when the cost of living in Alaska was significantly higher than the Lower 48 (that's a Sourdough term you'll hear often as you travel throughout Alaska and if you aren't a Sourdough you're a Cheechako) are gone.

True, the cost of fresh vegetables, milk, eating out and some speciality items remains higher. However, generally speaking you can most likely expect to pay the same or just a little more than you're used to paying when you're visiting larger cities.

Outside of the larger cities costs will be higher because of the cost of bringing in goods.

More specific pricing may be obtained in the Official State Vacation Planner.

Do you have comments or experiences you'd like to add on this subject after your visit to Alaska? Drop me a note and I'll add it here if it seems appropriate.
