Though I am in Hawaii for the next 2 weeks I have not forgotten you! To make you feel a little better I thought giving you some of the prices on necessary items, (ok, some not so necessary!) at the grocery stores in Kauai might make you feel better about your food budget. Here goes!
Red bell pepper 5.89 lb
cherry tomatoes 5.59 for 10 oz. pkg
Near East Pilaf 3.39 box
Berensteins dressing 16 oz. 5.39
Dairyland Milk 2% 4.99 a gallon

So do not despair! Someone has it harder than you do!
