I'll have to admit, after shopping at Keaau Foodland.....I'm not impressed with the prices.The place does look 100% better than before....but I'm still shelling out more money than if I went to Hilo to buy groceries. No one can beat walmart for the food items that they sell and since the shelves are constantly being refilled...turnaround is quick and nothing is on the shelf or in the freezers very long. For fresh meats and produce...I still think Safeway and KTA are the best. You can't beat the savings when you have 4 food centers in Hilo within walking distance of each other in competition for your dollars. And when and if Target is built across from Home Depot....that will be 5!
