I'm glad you found the earlier post and the flyer information useful.
Donki and its affiliate Times have a sale change day on Wednesdays, but
as of Tuesday, they let us know what the next week's sale will be so we can plan accordingly.
They have been doing this since the middle of Corona, so I think they have planned this from the consumer's point of view.

Now to the main question, whether the price of food goes down in the off-season,
I myself have not felt it in my daily life.
I think the prices of restaurants ・ and cafes are basically the same regardless of high season ・ or low season.
Perhaps discount coupons may increase in low season to attract customers.

Regarding supermarket food, seasonal vegetables and fruits may vary slightly.

Egg prices have skyrocketed due to the bird flu, but recently the cheapest brand is now $3 for 12 eggs.
However, before Corona, the price was sometimes $1.50-$2.00 on sale, so I have the impression that the price has remained high due to the shortage of labor in Corona, inflation, etc.

As for rice, 15 lbs of California rice used to be $10-11 on sale, but it has gone up to about $14.

Other items such as meat, snacks, natto (fermented soybeans), tofu, etc. have remained at high prices.
Hawaii souvenirs （ coffee, macadamia chocolate, etc. ） have also become much more expensive.

I have written about the negative aspects, but
I think you can keep your food costs down if you check the sales at each supermarket and cook mainly for yourself and eat out once a week.

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 ！.

But I feel that 5 cents to a dollar is not so vague. Whether it sells or not, the state of the market, of course, has a lot to do with it. I have had people buy books from me, but they don't buy things they don't think they can sell.

No one listens to or wants CDs nowadays, so you're lucky to just get them bought at BOOK OFF, even if they're super cheap.

Modern computers don't come with CD/DVD drives, cars only have Bluetooth, and of course CD players are not sold.

In the U.S., CDs are an extinct species, so you can sell them at BookOff for a couple of bucks or donate them to Goodwill.
