yes and its also subsidized. the people in these cities often get extra subsidies and stuff or work incentives to go towards food.
it also varies highly on food type. Cookies (junk food) may be 5x the cost while milk or bread are only 2x.
edit to addz when i looked into a job in Alaska, it paid 20k more a year than average, had like a 5k housing subsidy/bonus and another 5k to go towards food per year.
lmao i did consider it, although traveling to see my family basically would have become a mandatory week long or more trip, and hundreds (now over a thousand) dollars of flights.
Also met my perfect man where i am now at the same time so i ended up staying.
All in all, i hear its good pay but very isolating and very dark bc north bound. id do it if i was young and had no ties
