![]() ![]() ![]() For the different flavours of Spam, you'll have to visit Safeway, Don Quixote or Foodland, as I don't seem to remember the ABC having any Spam other than original, if any at all.įor handmade items, you'll need to go to the ABC store, and you'll find some items. One thing that I did not note, since we were in and out like a flash as Beedoo noted above, was that I think they only have the regular and low sodium Spam available. The ABC Store online (which I have only discovered a bit of), does have very reasonable prices available, and that might just be a great solution to the issue of getting the gift sets. I know that, on occasion, you can find some Hawaiian Host mac nuts on the mainland, but it's only the Aloha Mac variety (milk chocolate covered whole macs) The post that Bedoo linked to is a great guide to some of the Hawaii-only products you'll likely see in the Costco you visit on island :) not in a box) were $2.49 when we were there a couple of weeks ago. With what you're looking for, you will save money at Costco, especially on the pineapples. ![]() ![]() The key, however, is that you do have access to a car while TheBus does go past at least the Iwilei location, it is a bit of a walk from the bus stop to the store, and a long ride back to your hotel. :)īeing said Costco member (who introduced Beedoo & her partner to the inside of one at Majura Park, Canberra.leading to them to become members in their own right )), I definitely think that at least a visit to Costco ~ possibly the one at Hawaii Kai or Kapolei, instead of Iwilei if you're not into the whole crowd thing is a good idea. All of us could probably be considered Costco fans not to mention Costco nerds, probably!ĪBC stores are a given, you will spend time in them regardless of whether you go to Costco or not - so only you can answer if you want to make a special trip to Costco. Our US friend who is also a Costco member in WI really enjoyed seeing all the different items available and also comparing prices back to the mainland. We have a few Costcos here in Australia now, very different to the US ones in what they carry so to visit one in the US was fantastic for us. On our second visit which was at a different Costco ( Hawaii Kai), we were also pretty speedy.īut the other thing to consider is, how much do you enjoy the Costco experience? We love the place, and would happily spend a few hours in any Costco store browsing etc. They really do have an enormous range of Hawaiian made food items which you will not find everywhere and I think the prices are pretty excellent. We spent exactly one hour at Costco Iwilei (one of the busiest Costco locations in the world) on our first visit because we are speedy and experienced Costco ninjas, plus, we had the benefit of this great post from Pomai so we were not all deer in the headlights as you can be when you visit a Costco that contains items you have not seen before. Plus are you going to buy stuff to eat while on Oahu and will you have a car and be able to get there and back easily. I think it depends on what your plans are and also how many souvenirs you intend to buy. ![]()
