Where is a good place to shop for groceries near Lahaina on Maui?

Q. We are going to Maui in a week and trying to figure out what we are going to spend on groceries for 2 of us for 6 days. What grocery store should we shop at near Lahaina? And how much should we be expecting to pay?

A. There is a big 24-hour Safeway grocery store in Lahaina. It is a little less expensive than the Star Market which is about 10 minutes north of Lahaina.

My wife and I did a price comparison from a big grocery shopping list from that Safeway in Lahaina, and we found it was 40% more expensive than our big grocery store back home in Michigan.

Lots of information about Maui shopping, sights, activities, hotels, condos, restaurants, is at

What is a good inexpensive restaurant to go to after beach wedding in Maui?
Q. It has always been my dream to get married in Maui. I would like to get married on the beach, but where can I celebrate with a small group of people afterwards? I'm looking for a nice inexpensive place with good food. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

A. It would probably depend for starters on what region in Maui you're talking about. Once you know where you want to get married, that will radically cut down your practical options. And if it's high priority to keep it inexpensive, I'd probably figure out a way to host something yourself -- maybe a park someplace with a grill and some picnic tables. If it's a pretty small group, however, it might be worth it to cough it up for a decent restaurant anyway... assumably you'll be flying in as will your guests, staying in a hotel, etc., so a little bit more for a dinner after a Maui wedding isn't going to add that much in the big scheme of things, and you only do it once.

What do you recommend for a honeymoon to Maui?
Q. My fiance and I are going to Oahu for two nights, and then on to Maui for a week to 12 days (we haven't decided yet). Neither of us have ever been there. Any recommendations you could give about travel books, places to see, stay, or things to do would be greatly appreciated. We were thinking about staying at either the Sheraton Maui Resort, or the Westin Maui Resort & Spa. Of course, we are open to suggestions. Thanks so much!

A. That can get pretty pricey if you're there for that long. If you book through a corporate travel broker you can save TONS & stay at high quality hotels like Outrigger & Diamond Hotels & many more.

We just used an 8 day package from this broker & stayed at a 5 star beachfront condo resort in Maui which was gorgeous! We spoke to other couples who paid $350 per night at the same resort - we only paid $499 for all 8 days!

I HIGHLY recommend this site for super deals, plus they also offer Fun Passes for Oahu AND Maui which will let you do every attraction & special tour on the island for FREE! I included the links for all of these below, good luck!
