I am thinking of going to Hawaii for a 3 week vacation. I can stay at a friend's house and I found a cheap airline ticket, but the problem is the cost of living.

I understand that the cost of living in Hawaii is about 1.5 times that of Japan due to inflation, but is that really the case overall? Even if I try to live a frugal life, are the basic living expenses such as supermarkets, cafes, transportation, etc. expensive ？

For example, does it cost more than $10 for a cup of coffee ＋ and a tip just to work in a café ？?

For reference, here is a local supermarket sale flyer.

Prices, I think they are starting to settle down.

A cup of coffee at a Cafe is not ＄ 10.

A cup of coffee at Honolulu Coffee Experience Center
Iced coffee is ＄ 6.

Starbucks would be ＄ 5 or so.

If it was a hotel cafe, it would be like that, including tip.

I think some of the information is wrong. I think the reason is that
they are trying to discourage
travel to the U.S. by saying that the U.S. has a high inflation rate.

I don't believe much information from people who only see Waikiki
. They are giving out some pretty ridiculous information.

Japan was too cheap, so I guess they finally got the price right
.

The weak yen is also having an effect.

It is not uncommon for an egg costing 900 yen in Japanese yen to be the same
in US dollars.

Eggs and other ＄ 3 or less prices are coming back.

Well, you can take the Waikiki tipsters for what they are
it is what it is.

It used to be that Hawaii was expensive, now NYC is
the most expensive, SF, LA, etc., and Honolulu
is cheaper than SF.

Don't put too much trust in bullshit information.

Hawaiian is probably a robot, so let's not deal with him.

Thank you all ！

Mr. Koji
I had seen one flyer from a supermarket, but it is very helpful to have several ！

I see. I also heard people talk about the high cost of living, but it doesn't seem that different from when I was there before. ・ ・ ・ ？ I remember my last city in the US was like this, too. ？ I was uncertain and asked a question.

Restaurants and such have been expensive for a long time.

Thank you very much for your help ！ I will consider going there as long as I can drink coffee ！.
