Buying Groceries and Staples in Kihei

Compared to the prices in the contiguous 48, groceries are more expensive in Hawai'i. That effect can be magnified at "convenience" stores.

You have a choice of some well-reviewed Kihei stores and three larger (and perhaps less expensive) store in Kahalui, just outside the airport.

If you arrive at the right time, you might consider stopping by one of the "big box" stores in Kahalui on your way out of the airport. These include Costco (if you are a member, 10:00 AM - 8:30 PM Monday through Friday; 9:30 AM - 6:00 PM Saturday; 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Sunday), and Walmart (6 AM - 11 PM). There's a Target (8 AM - 10 PM) in Kahului, too, with good prices but a somewhat smaller grocery selection. If you can find the beverages, snacks, staples, and any other items you want to purchase at one of these, odds are you'll save some money.

Foodland, Times Supermarket, and Safeway are probably the most convenient full-service grocery stores in the Kihei area. They're good fallbacks if big stores in Kahalui are closed or you don't want to stop (or shop) in Kahalui. Prices are a bit higher but there may be a better selection of some items.

For Luana Kai guests: The Safeway in Kihei is a short detour on the way from the airport to the Luana Kai resort.

For Pacific Shores and Maui Vista guests: The Safeway in Kihei and Foodland in Kihei are on the way, more or less, from the airport to the Pacific Shores and Maui Vista resorts.

ABC stores are just about everywhere tourists are in Hawai'i with a broad assortment of items including a rather limited selection of groceries. Prices are higher and don't count on cash back when using a debit card but ABC can save you some time. Plus they have an assortment of tourist trinkets.

For Luana Kai guests: There's an ABC store in the Pi'ilana Village Shopping Center. Unless you are looking for some of the touristy stuff, there's not a whole lot to recommend the ABC store over the nextdoor Safeway once you've already traveled from the Luana Kai resort to the Pi'ilana Village Shopping Center (about 0.7 mi).

For Pacific Shores and Maui Vista guests: There's an ABC store just a little walk south of Maui Vista and Pacific Shores at the Chevron on Kihei Blvd. The distance to Foodland, certainly Times Supermarket and even more so Safeway, may make driving more attractive than walking.

We try to keep affinity cards for Foodland and Safeway are in the unit. If they've walked away, if you can't find them, or if you forget to take them, you can use the phone number 503-648-5333 to get the sale prices on items in those stores. Of course, the checkout person will probably have a 'house' affinity card, too.
