Amazon Prime is a life-saver in Puna. Sure we want to keep it local where we can but people gotta eat. Having things delivered makes it easy and smart. Amazon has 1000s of common grocery items from the brands you love. Some things cost more on Amazon but more often than not, you can find great prices. "Amazon Saver" grocery items are a new thing. They are trying to compete with the store brands and the prices can be very attractive especially when they can be delivered to you. They are just rolling out now with a limited number of products but the plan is to add 100s. Stay tuned.
Amazon offers "Prime Access" with unlimited free shipping, entertainment, and a ton of other benefits for $6.99 per month for eligible folks. This can really help cut down on some grocery costs. Please keep it local whenever you can, but priority #1 has to be keeping the bellies full of good things. Plenty of Punawebbers and their neighbors save money on certain grocery items with Subscribe and Save and of course they accept SNAP on eligible items.
You can even try it out for free for 30 days then $6.99 per month if you find it's a good value for you.
