Grocery Questions

[William Z00mer Groom III]

I don't know if amazon will deliver overseas. they don't ship to Alaska. Other then that it would be cost of postage and you need to check to see if the Aulani charges a holding fee.

We use Garden Grocer - great service.

No, the PP acknowledged they forgot we weren't talking about Orlando.

We ended up doing most of our groceries at the ABC store and also went to he little fruit market at the Marriott Monday. We got quick serve meals for lunch, mostly.

Yes, we looked into it closely and there are zero grocery delivery options to Aulani (well, there is one, but they have a tiny selection and charge an extra $75 to deliver to Aulani).

We can bring shelf stable almond milk. I am excited to hear that the selection is better than we thought it would be at ABC- my impression was that it was a very small store with a deli counter, but maybe I was mistaken!

Are you sure a $75 delivery charge? I'm seeing a $25 delivery charge, with a $75 minimum order. Island Grocery service. I didn't see Aulani specific pricing.

It's definitely $75, maybe even more, and a very small selection. Check under Delivery Information to see the added charges.

It sounds like Target is a good choice to buy groceries on the way to Aulani. I have a Target RedCard that gives me a 5% discount. Can I use my RedCard at this Target near Aulani to get a discount?

The Target in Kapolei doesnt have a great selection of fruits and veggies if that is of interest to you, I find I do a split shop between Target/Safeway and local farmers markets

Yes.

Can you buy soy milk at Target or ABC or perhaps even at Aulani's store?

Target definitely carries soy milk.

Without a car, I'd take a taxi to Target over shopping at the Country Market across the street. Just factor in the taxi costs into your vacation budget. Safeway is pricey (I never shopped there when we lived on Oahu, but we also didn't have Target back then).

We haven't been since 2014 (going back next summer) but when we went, we had a large group, so did our shopping at Costco. We found the pricing was very similar to here at home - and they had a great selection of fruit, meats, breads, etc. for quick meals. So that may be an option if you're a member. I don't know how easy it would be to get to without a car, but it is very near the Safeway and Target in Kapolei (basically across the street) so should be reachable by taxi/uber.

And, Costco also has Almond Milk. Very inexpensive. And Soy.

We stay for two weeks, and next time we're there for 4 plus weeks. We shop Costco a lot, but usually do Target first day.

 

[drcoulsey]

Don't you need a membership card to shop at Costco?

 

[BobNed]

Don't you need a membership card to shop at Costco?

Yes, you do. Currently $55 a year; going up soon to $60 a year.

Amazon ships to Hawaii and Alaska and you can subscribe to Prime with an address in Hawaii or Alaska.

You get 3-7 day shipping for free instead of 2 day on the mainland.

It's $15 flat to Kapolei in a cab from Aulani and we used a ride share service to return. Target is right there (sunscreen, toiletries, clothing is nice to get there and basic groceries) and in the same complex is a health grocery store like Sprouts. Between the two you should be covered with good options if you don't need/want Costco. FYI- You have to bring or pay for bags there. Not unusual anymore but Target does have some cute Hawaii souvenir bags for a buck or two.

While that is the policy, my experience has been 3 days to 14 days shipping. There is a lot of time "in processing" when it's coming here to hawaii and that doesn't actually count into the delivery window. So it will be "in processing" for 7 or 8 days, then get here 3 days shipping. And that's with prime, and that's with items sold by amazon. Sometimes (most of the time) I have better luck with independent sellers. I get things faster.

And if it is anything like my last order from Amazon, you order memory foam shoe insoles and get a watermelon slicer.

There is no Garden Grocer in Hawaii. The poster already stated they were commenting on a thread that thought was about WDW, sorry.
