Prices on the mainland have gone up distressingly, so no, it is not temporary and it is not just Hawaii.
The rice noodles I buy went for 97 cents to $1.99 in just 4 months. I bought beef yesterday and paid $6.49 a pound, for the same stuff that was $4.50 just 4 months ago.
It's not so much that the price of food has gone up. It is that your dollar is fast losing its purchasing power. Don't expect it to get any better.
