    Located off Kino`ole St in Hilo you'll find this short warehouse. This is Hilo's version of Costco with Costco products produce fresh dairy, but a little bit pricier. They have everything you'll typically find at Costco except large household items.

    More expensive than Costco but it's right here in Hilo. nice!

    Nice facility nice people and it's right here in Hilo. Discount items that you might find at Costco and other bigger stores gathered here it beats going all the way to Kona, but you pay for the privilege price, still less expensive than most.

    DECEPTION: OLD BROWN MEAT mixed into the middle of fresh pink meat - par for the course for CostULess owners!

    An ongoing issue is CostULess' mixing OLD BROWN MEAT in with fresh ground pink meat, carefully disguising it by making sure the exposed top portion is beautifully pink--but when you get it home you find the impudent deception within. It is simply disgusting how the owners of this store have made deception an integral part of their business model. Another is their mixing water in with the ground meat to add weight, and upon unwrapping, when you pick up a handful of ground meat to form a burger or meatballs, it literally drips with water. The owners of CostULess have no respect whatsoever for their customers. I'd give this business zero stars if possible, but they do deserve one star anyway for their great employees --all except of course for their despicable BUTCHERS who are complicit in their employer's deceptive practices.

    Plain and simple Cost U Less saves you money. Their selection isn't as great as Costco and the place could look better but the savings do add up. Personal Note: I'm a cheese lover and NOWHERE in Hilo sells decently priced cheese! Sack n Save and KTA are a ripoff and living here has made me deprived. That's why Cost U Less is the only place to go. Two fresh mozzarella for $10.99, mascapone for $3.25 and a big wheel of brie for $10.99. I am in heaven :)

    Love shopping here but they need to expand more space and sell more larger variety of items -- a good bakery area would be great!

    It's a mini version of Costco and Sams club AND no need membership for this place which makes it even more awesome!

    "You can die anytime, but living takes true courage." -- Kenshin Himura…read more What a wonderful health food store & gift shop. If you're wondering: "Locavore" is a person whose diet consists only or principally of locally grown or produced food. Add a bunch of uniques gift ideas by Big Island artists and life is complete. Located in the heart of old town Hilo on Kilauea Avenue is where you'll find Locavore or as locals will know it's next to Ben Franklin. The staff of Sam and Audrey were genuinely kind and welcoming. I was most impressed with their knowledge of products and pride in what they had to offer. My sister (who I was visiting) purchased fresh non-GMO produce and pickled namasu. Since I was visiting Hilo I chose unique stickers and postcards to take home with me. I really felt a warm peaceful vibe while browsing around The Locavore Store. On a Sunday afternoon it was filled with curious customers. Health conscience hippies, those looking for island arts & crafts, and a few locals living la viva Locavore lifestyle. What a fab gem in old town Hilo. Til next time... Pls follow my adventures IG: @eric_travel_guru

    This place is amazing! There are so many local products. Not only does Locavore have many…read morevegetarian and vegan products but they also carry local meats as well. One of the things I really love is that they highlight Kanaka owned business and products. The staff is nice as well! The first time I went I ended up going back the next day.
