Good luck!

Thanks, we're actually HERE now! The prices are definitely higher than we had in the lower 48, but having lived in Hawaii in the recent past they are comparable to there.

I'm finding ground beef to be about $4.50 a lb and milk around $5.50 a gallon, the other prices seem similar to your examples though! Oh except gas- it is OVER $4 a gallon now! Good thing we can't drive much of anywhere I guess, lol!
