Prices tend to be higher in popular tourist destinations, and that is certainly true in Hawaii, where so many things are imported from the contiguous US.

As a resident, I'm used to paying significantly more for everyday things like milk, gas, and housing than a lot of visitors, who are accustomed to paying less at home.

For example, a gallon of milk can cost more than $8, and a studio-apartment rental can be priced at $3,000 each month.
