How much is that again?

[Tabitha]

That is CRAZY! Unreal!

[jenlively49]

I imagine it would be more difficult to get products up there, so it makes sense that it's so expensive. That's too bad. But it's cheaper to live up there right?

No, no cheaper a bachalor apt is at least 1000.00 a month

$100 for diapers? OMW. Cloth would look very appealing there. What store is this?

Looks like this is the NorthMart in Iqaluit

[jenlively49]

Yeah, I had to ask if I was reading that right too. My cousin lived in Iqualuit NWT for a good portion of career. She recently went back for a visit and took this snap. Also (not pictured), one big bag of Old Dutch chips is $5.99.

what was you cousin doing as a career up there? I was there for a while a couple years ago, the community is only small, I probably knew her if it was the same time

That's just nuts!!! And most of us complain everyday about the prices we have to pay that is just sad and unreal.

It is a store called Arctic Ventures.

She was a teacher there for a long time. She moved to ON several years ago, you might have missed her.

[orchidgirl]

WOW.....nuts...

[burkeyswife]

OMG!!! That is absolutely insane! Who wants to pay $100 for diapers???

[Lynnie]

Ooo from the replies it seems expensive. How much is the average price for 176 Huggies diapers normally? Sorry, I have NO clue about baby stuff...

My Uncle used to be an inuit art dealer and he lived in NWT for quite awhile. I remember my parents putting together HUGE boxes with things like toilet paper and detergent and shampoo and stuff like that. The shipping was atrocious, but still made it way cheaper than up there!

There was only 2... I had a 50/50 chance, but I can see that now that you say it.

I worked at one of the hotel restaurants, you should mention the Frob to her and see if she knew any of the waitress'

[jenlively49]

Yeah, a bag of dog food was easily 100.00, Cheapest Laundry Soap, like Purex 29.99, (it goes on sale at shoppers for 2.99)

There is no liquor stores there either, we used to call Post Office, "our Liqour Store" that was if you were lucky enough to get a post office box, that is all they had and the waiting list was at least 6 months.

It was a wonderful experience thou, I loved every minute of it

Just wondering...Do the wages in Iqualuit NWT coincide with the prices they pay in stores?
