It's in the article (which comes from another site, "24/7 Wall St.",HFP is just referencing it):
"And a 24/7 Wall St. survey of average prices for a half-gallon of milk, a dozen eggs, and a frozen meal in 50 major metropolitan areas revealed that the American city with the priciest groceries, by those standards, wasn’t even bustling Honolulu, but low-key Hilo on Hawaii’s Big Island, population 45,648."
I wonder why they included Hilo in their list of "50 major metropolitan areas". Then again, milk is very expensive here. But oh, the weather!
