Anyone live in Hawaii?

Just doing a bit of research and wondered if there is anyone from Hawaii I can ask some questions regarding costs of items there. Anyone???

I don't live there but we spent 10 days there last year and things are expensive! The experience that we had was going to Costco there was a whole lot better than going to the store. So thats what we did the whole time.

I know from being in the military that the COLA (cost of living allowance) is way high if you live there, so that would mean that it is super expensive to live there LOL
Although I would still love to live there

I guess we don't have any residents of HI on the boards. I think I have found a source of information for when/if I need to pursue the information in depth. I'm looking for someone that lives there to ask a few questions.

I did find some online store ads, and while some things are quite high, others are comparable to major metro areas of the continental US.
