    A quart of guava nectar $2.99, a 2.8 oz of a bowl of cereal $1.99, and 16 oz of milk $2.49. New York City? Try ABC stores in Waikiki. There are 26 ABC stores listed in Yelp in 1.5 square mile Waikiki, including 7 on Kalakaua Ave - one every block starting with 2020-2552. Open 7am to midnight everyday, and that and the convenience is why they are costly, even for Hawaii. POG goes for $2.99 for 32 ounces here, and $4.29 for 128 ounces at Costco Honolulu. In other words you are paying almost 3 times as much here as at Costco. Got to cover those late night holdups! Unfortunately while I'm a Costco member, I'm in Honolulu without wheels, as renting a basic sedan can cost $70 a day, with Hilton Hawaiian Villages charging $43 day to park. This particular ABC is located right outside the Grand Waikikian on Ala Moana, next to Goofys, across from the Ilikai Hotel. Surrounded on all sides by high rises, and right on busy 6 lane Ala Moana boulevard. This place sells clothing, frozen and canned food, tooth brushes, Hawaiian soft drinks by the six pack, beer, fruit juice, lubricant, condoms (not that I need them!), everything needed for the half million visitors to Waikiki each month. For those tired of losing their shirt at the high prices of the local restaurants, ABC has hot packaged food ready to eat, deli food, sushi, lunch plates, hot bento boxes, and poke, although I haven't yet been poked into trying poke. I purchased a 12 oz roast pork with gravy bowl for $5, and a 13 oz seafood deluxe bento bowl for $6. Walked 100 yards to the entrance to our condo and ate it for lunch. Wife didn't care for the seafood bowl too much, so I got more than one bowl to eat. ABC sells T-shirts 5 for $25. It is probably where my tennis captain got me my Hawaiian shirt a couple of years ago. I wear it every time I come to the Islands, with the shirt design shouting out a big ALOHA!. They also have the chocolate macadamia nuts here, but since I retired in June 2015, my fellow coworkers are SOL! Could have used this place when my ex-wife forgot to pack her panties on our first trip here in 1984, and used my underpants for the rest of the honeymoon!

    Talk about just walking down to lobby of my hotel and crossing the street. This is a great location, of course expect prices to be ridiculous but that is the nature of the beast. Demand commands high price. Like $3 water, which was brand x water. Bought a beer and other last minute things. What choice do i have? Life goes on and next time i will walk further hoping to find cheaper water and beer. I suppose in my defense desperate times call for desperate measures..lol

Hawaii's Finest Clothing is like walking into a club as this vibrant shop does start from it's storefront with the cool neon logo shining bright along side the huge window with their various logos. Walking in you can see that every corner of the shop is filled with amazing decor that sometimes felt secondary to the merchandise, even their music is showcased with flair. So much to choose from along with lots of clearance items making it a great deal shopping here is an experience to find clothing for the whole group. Service here is very friendly and helpful though I didn't find anything today know that I will be back to support this amazing local small biz as they have so many great clothing to express ourselves. Thank you!

    NO ALOHA at HiFiClothing Ala Moana! My husband went to exchange a couple of shirt he got for…read moregifts- he didn't want a refund, just to change the size because the shirts he received are way too large. He needed smalls. First the female sales associate said they didn't carry the color he received, but he said he just wanted a small shirt. She said he had to return it to where he got it from....IT WAS A GIFT!!! He didn't know where they got it from. Then he found a small in the other shirt he received and the male sales associate asked if he had a gift receipt. No, we didn't have one. So he asked "when did you receive it?" My husband said on May 19. He said "Oh, that's more than 30 days-we can't exchange it." Today is the 20th of June. Seriously!?!?! One day late and no grace period!?!??! So now he's stuck with 2 shirts that he can't use....So CAUTION! DO NOT BUY ANY GIFTS from this place. I know if the person he got the gifts from knew they had such a strict policy, she would have warned him to rush and exchange them. Horrible customer experience. Never setting foot in this store again!

    Stüssy Honolulu is extremely popular, so plan ahead if you're hoping to shop the newest releases. I…read morevisited four times during my trip and picked up a few useful tips. Pro tips: 1. Arrive very early. The line starts well before sunrise. On Tuesday, the first person arrived at 4:50 AM; I got there at 6:00 AM and was already in the third section of the line. Another day I arrived at 3:45 AM thinking I would be first, but someone had been there since 3:30 AM. Small sizes are especially difficult to get. If you line up before 8:00 AM, you'll generally have a better chance at Medium through XXL. 2. They may open before the posted time. Although the store lists a 10:00 AM opening, it has opened around 9:15 AM. 3. Use the next-day exchange option. If your preferred size is unavailable, buy an available size and return around 9:00 AM the following day to exchange it. Keep in mind that exchanges are only for swapping sizes. You cannot purchase additional items during that visit. And since Small sells out quickly, it may still be difficult to exchange into one. Overall, the staff is friendly and professional, especially considering they manage huge crowds all day and answer the same questions repeatedly. Great store, but treat it like an early-morning event rather than a casual shopping stop. Value - get ready to pay for an arm & leg: - T-shirts: $45 - Hoodies: $130 - Zipper Hoodies: $140 - Jackets: $200+

    We actually waited three hours for the shopping experience. The lines started 5am on a Saturday…read more They also announced the sizes they had available. It was large only. The guy who was helping us with the lines, he was super professional and was very helpful. Once we made it inside we were helped right away. Shopping experience was definitely worth the wait. They were very helpful. My son was very happy. It is bit pricy so we stayed within our budget. The selection is limited but they keep you well aware.

I would stock up on socks and sweaters with abandon from the Uniqlos closer to my home in San Francisco. That was why it surprised me that I would seek out this familiar store at the mammoth Ala Moana Center. However, I had seen a local vlogger's YouTube video where he showcased the Hawaiian-exclusive clothing they sell here. Jamie W and I decided to drop by when we were at Ala Moana. Although not at the scale of the Tokyo Ginza flagship, it's one of the global chain's larger stores with an expansive multi-floor space. They offer the Brands Hawaiian Loco line, which is quite a distinct array of T-shirts spotlighting locally renowned businesses like Leonard's Bakery, Hawaiian Airlines, and Zippy's. I even bought one featuring a bowl of Zippy's saimin called Zipmin (Photo 4). I also really liked their line of aloha shirts because designs came from top quality Japanese block prints. I fell in love with one shirt based on Hokusai's "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa". I had never seen one like that before. They even offer opportunities to customize T-shirts and tote bags using exclusive designs from local artists. There's enough here to justify a shopping expedition. If you think one Uniqlo is like another, reconsider and come here. RELATED - Exploring Hawaii? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://yelp.to/06Oa2Epa6T
