We will have a car just wondering who would be cheaper? Yes, we do have a Costco card

Costco would be your cheapest bet.

Yes! Like Dis_Yoda said, COSTCO, baby! And the Kapolei Costco is just about 5 minutes away from Aulani back toward Honolulu.

Costco is usually the cheapest, but check for sales elsewhere. A bottle of my go-to pinot, Meiomi, is about $22 at Costco. I can often find it on sale at Target or CVS for $18-$19.

Not sure where the closest Tamura's is to Aulani, but I know on Maui they have pretty good prices too. And they have a killer poke counter! Mmmmm.

I got a nice small (large lunch size) soft sided cooler at Walmart there. We took (cans) beer to the pool as well (we stay at the Marriott Beach Club though).

Definitely Costco is good, and they have poke (I do not care for theirs but I lived on Oahu and am picky), but they also have sashimi which is pretty good. I LOVE Sushi Bay in Kapolei though! OMG we eat there at least every other day when we're there (go early; you have to sign in, it's conveyor belt sushi and SO FREAKING good and cheap, you can also do carry out which we do).

Target also has some liquor but, less selection as Costco, and if you want beer or hard liquor, smaller bottles. If you like vodka, their French vodka is like $20 for a huge bottle!

Good prices at the Costco but selection is limited. However, we had no problem finding something we liked so we didn't look elsewhere and since we were buying coffee and breakfast items too, it was the most logical place to go.
