I just happened to come across a news story about food prices rising in the north and they mentioned Kuglugtuk specifically. It's crazy how much things cost there. $11.99 for a jug of milk. $21 for 750 g of Cracker Barrel cheese. $50 for a case of pop. Most of the people there rely on land and sea to provide for them, so groceries are somewhat of a luxury I guess.
Tuktoyuktuk might not be as bad as it is more of a hub town. I'd definitely heed the advice of bringing as much food with you as possible though.
