Indie Alaska is an original video series produced by Alaska Public Media in partnership with PBS Digital Studios. The weekly series captures the diverse and colorful lifestyles of everyday Alaskans at work and at play. Together, these videos present a fresh and authentic look at living in Alaska.
In this episode, we meet the crafty Natasha Price. From knit hats to family dinners, homemade is kind of her thing.
One reason for Price's DIY attitude, she says, is because living in Alaska is expensive enough without going out to eat every night. So after realizing that her family's monthly grocery bill was topping $600, she went on a quest to feed her family on $75 a week -- not an easy task in a state where nearly all food is shipped thousands of miles before reaching consumers.
