Trip To Anchorage, Alaska
 

Hi I'm just wondering how much money I should plan on spending for lunch and dinner for 4 weeks. I plan on buying groceries for the most part to save money. However, I can't seem to find much information on how much stuff costs there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Jonathan

Get yourself a Carrs (Safeway) card. Here's the weekly ad.

There is also a Walmart Super Center as well.
With 4 weeks you'll want to explore some of Alaska other than Anchorage.

Hard to generalize, but I'd say maybe 10% - 20% higher than comparable places on the west coast, maybe less. There's no sales tax, however, so the walk-away price won't be terribly different.

So do you actually mean the city of Anchorage because you'll be in the city for 4 weeks; or are you having an AK vacation and won't actually be in/near Anchorage much of the time?

Thanks for the response guys. Also I can see your point about spending 4 weeks in Anchorage. Thanks for the responses they have really helped. :)

Keep in mind the large grocery stores in places like Soldotna and Anchorage offer cheaper lunch options than restaurants. You can buy salads and prepared sandwiches.
