For example, I want to buy 5 things at once today
All 5 are on sale at Target, but only one is on sale at a discount
In that case, I would buy one at Target and go to Walmart where the other 4 are cheaper
Is that what you mean ？
For me
If one is on sale at Target, I will go to Walmart and buy them all If 3 of the 5 are on sale at Target and 2 are regular price, I will buy all 5 at Target.

Your husband is really into Target's strategy.

It's a sucker's bet that the store will let you buy something at full price just because it's a gift card.

I also check prices and if Target is cheaper, I'll use a gift card. I don't do stupid things like buy there just because I have a gift card.

Thank you all. I guess there is no better way to go cheap. For some reason, my husband thinks that if we buy something with a gift card that we received, it's free. If he had received a cash gift card, he would use it as "his money" and spend it carefully. For some reason I think of gift cards only as magic cards.

Nanashino Gombei, you are right. But what I wanted to ask you is whether you use the gift card regardless of the sale ？.

Marketing, the list price is high. I sometimes buy things I need right now like medicine at the regular price, but I feel like I'm paying a loss 😅

tomoyan, I haven't been a victim of gift card fraud so far, but I've heard that if you are, you can get your money back right away. I think Target has been changing their system to make it more and more difficult to be a victim. I think Target has been changing their system every year for a few years now to make it more and more difficult to become a victim of fraud. I think it's a good idea to use it early. There have been a lot of company bankruptcies recently and many people around me forgot to use it by accident.

chip, I also try to buy as cheaply as possible. I am disappointed when the price is fixed.

My son is attending. He is in Elementary now.
If you have a Hawaiian pedigree, you can usually get in ！ not that much （ like Punahou or Iolani ） the odds are not that high ！
the atmosphere in the school is pretty laid back. The atmosphere in the school is quite laid back, which is typical of Hawaiians. （ Laughs ） It is good for my son, but
academically, I don't think you should have high expectations. I grew up in Japan, and from my point of view, the academics are not good enough, and
the teachers at the conferences don't give many pointers. It is a very Hawaiian school with children of Hawaiian heritage ！.

My husband is a KS interviewer lol so I can't go into details

-The school is dedicated to keeping the Hawaiian culture alive

Even kids who can express their own opinions about what they want Hawaii to be like in the future will be noticed

-The interview The judgment has already started as soon as the
They can tell if a child is restless or not

-They want to accept as many different children as possible
I don't think you need to worry about it
A fixed number of students per region are selected


those who want to improve their skills will have dedicated
teachers who will help them to achieve their goals.

Thank you all for your valuable comments.

I feel a little lighter now that you mentioned that "the odds are not that high if you have a Hawaiian pedigree". Also, your realistic stories about the atmosphere of school life and academic aspects were very helpful. Since I have a family member who teaches Hawaiian Studies, I feel that my child is naturally developing an interest and attachment to Hawaiian culture himself. I really agreed with what you said in the interview about the importance of having one's own opinion such as "what do you want the future of Hawaii to be like?

I would like to gradually increase the opportunities to experience Hawaiian culture in my daily life and watch over my children so that they can develop their own perspectives and ideas. The discussion about regional quotas and balance is also interesting and I will keep it in mind as a perspective when applying.

I would be happy to learn more from you.
Thank you for your continued support ！

I can't go into details, but I have a family member who runs a cram school for the Kamehameha entrance exam. According to the latest information, tuition will be completely waived starting in 2026, and graduates will be able to pay for college tuition as well.
My impression is that it is not so easy to pass the entrance exam, even though it is not as easy as Punahou or Iolani.

Thank you so much for sharing your detailed story.
This is the first time I heard about the full free tuition from 2026 and the support to the university, and once again I realized that it will be even more competitive in the future.

As you said, it is a different difficulty from Punahou and Iolani, and it is not an easy entrance exam. With this in mind, I will discuss again with my family about our future preparation. Actually, we are also looking into cram schools little by little, but we have not been able to find many that have the Kamehameha Kindergarten entrance exam in front of them, so we are not sure how to proceed.
I saw some Kamehameha names in the photos of successful applicants at Takahashi Juku, so I thought I would inquire about it, and I am wondering if there are many similarities with Iolani ・ Punahou-oriented preparation.

If you have any more advice, I would be happy to hear it.
Thank you so much for your valuable talk.

Please do not hesitate to contact me.

Last week a friend of mine was in the exact same situation, he said he would buy it at Walmart for $58 and bring it back to Japan and sell it on Mercari. lol
He is also 2 years old and a booster seat is too small and illegal, so he still needs a car seat, and the cheapest car seat at Walmart is $ The cheapest car seat at Walmart was 57-58 ！ He said he could sell it for a lot of money in Japan and that he would take it home with him even though it would be luggage.

As a postscript,

Did you find someone who can lend you a car seat ？
$ I found one at Walmart It's a COSCO brand car seat, right? I bought a spare COSCO car seat for my child for when he/she is picked up in a friend's car, or vice versa, or when a friend is picked up in our car. It is lightweight, so I can pull my child by the hand with one hand and carry it with the other hand, and it is very convenient. You may need it when you come back to Hawaii in the future, so why don't you buy one for Hawaii and keep it in your husband's room?

There are a lot of travel YouTubers out there.
There are also a lot of people who go to places that are not listed in travel guides.
It's not about making money, but it's good if you enjoy yourself.
Only a handful of travel YouTubers who post high quality videos can make money.
I hate traveling, but I really like watching videos of someone traveling.
But there are only 1-2 YouTubers whose videos I watch on a regular basis.

There are many people who have done nothing wrong but come to me and make terribly harsh comments on my videos.
If you can ignore those comments and are mentally strong, posting videos is a good idea.
Many people have had their mental health hit by the internet, and a few months ago, one of my favorite travel YouTubers was in an uproar, so please be really careful...

#2 Mr. Resident in USA,

If you have a Japanese ID, you can buy it even if you live in USA. I chose Rakuten Mobile, which has the lowest monthly call charges.

Can I use my passport as a Japanese ID? I don't have any family in Japan, so I don't have an address where I can register.

Please check with your cell phone store to see if your Japanese passport will work as a Japanese ID.

I am currently staying in Japan.
It is easier to exchange money at vending machine like machines in town than to exchange money in Hawaii.

Or, I am a Central Pacific Bank user and can withdraw up to 100,000 yen a day at ATMs in post offices.
I checked the rate and it is a little better than the machine.
I don't recommend you to exchange money at the bank because of high commission.

There is a group on Facebook called Scenic San Pedro, but I didn't see any pictures of what looks like the first sunrise.

I entered the country from LAX this July, 20 days before my GC expired. I applied for renewal in February and brought the letter with me, but when I entered the country, I asked the officer if I could have the extension letter. When I asked the officer if I needed an extension letter, he said "No, it's not expired, so you don't need it. I was told "No, it has not expired, so you don't need it.

Worst case scenario, you can have someone send the letter to Japan. It takes about a week to get it after you apply for it.

That's also great.

The long queue was so long that even the examiner didn't check the "details"

He just thought "OK, I have a card" and said "Yes, the next person is OK". I wonder if it was a "yes, the next one".

You have already completed the Online Application ？ First you apply online and then you get an Interview.

https://secure.ssa.gov/ossnap/public/adultOlder18


The company has proof of your eligibility to work, so you should have no problem getting hired without SS. it says to provide the employer with a receipt for the application for the SS number.　Maybe the reason they need the number now is to pay the first paycheck, but if you have a knowledgeable payroll department, you should be fine as long as you have the number by the first quarter payroll report.
