One of the problems in Hawaii is the milk prices which have hit new highs in California too.
The highest price found on Oahu for a gallon of whole milk was $8.99 on sale for $7.49 if you have a value card, but only $4.99 at Costco.

milk prices are measuring sticks. Hawaii consumers pay nearly double the national average per gallon.

About 80 percent of milk consumed in Hawaii is shipped in from California, then pasteurized at Meadow Gold and delivered to super markets. Each step adds to the cost at the checkout counter
