The resort breakfast buffets usually cost somewhere between $25 - $30 per person. That can add up quickly over the course of your stay - for your wallet and waistline. :) @ Nathalie - We don't have Foodlands or Safeways in NC, but I have loyalty cards for both that I keep in my Hawaii travel file. :) We just got a Costco in Raleigh last year. I haven't been in it yet. I need to see if they offer a free visit just to check it out. @ Jan – I totally agree on saving some money on breakfast and lunch and not feel guilty on having a nice meal for dinner.

I've definitely saved $$ by using it! I also bring my Safeway and Costco cards to get very good deals. Hi Sheila- Signing up for the Maikai card is a great idea! I’ve definitely saved $$ by using it!

We loved the deli in the gourmet market at the Shops at Muana Lani. They had great selections for taking on a picnic or to the beach, still somewhat spendy, but much cheaper than eating out. We also purchased things to take back to the condo for dinner a couple of times. We stopped into the market in Waikoloa Village one day while whale watching in that area and were pleasantly surprised by their deli as well. Pinching a few pennies on breakfast and lunch leaves more money for those fabulous dinners. The gourmet market at Muana Lani was packed while we were there, so I hope they do well, the drive down to Kona to get food can be a drag:-0 Sheila, this is a great subject, especially now that food has gone up even more in HI (and elsewhere.)
