Discount and Coupon Questions

Question: What is the “Senior & Disabled” discount?

Answer: The “Senior & Disabled” discount is automatically deducted from any groceries purchased after you have been confirmed as a senior citizen (Our age requirement is 65 years of age.) or deemed disabled. These discounts must be verified through a valid form of Identification. If this is your first grocery purchase with us you will be given a credit for your next purchase of groceries, and the discount will continue from that point. Unfortunately this discount does not apply to the delivery fee.

Question: What is the “Frequent Shopper” discount?

Answer: The “Frequent Shopper” discount is a discount we provide to our grocery shoppers that previously spent a minimum amount in a 45 day period. This amount is automatically deducted from any groceries purchased once you've spent over $250 (including delivery) in the previous 45 days. Unfortunately this discount does not apply to the delivery fee.

Question: What if I am only Temporarily Disabled?

Answer: The discount is still valid! Those who are temporarily disabled can still obtain documentation that validates your disability through the state. If you aren't currently registered with the State as disabled, but you have a valid disability that hinders your ability to shop easily we are happy to provide discounts to those individuals through other forms of verification. So if you have recently undergone a surgery or other debilitating injury please mention this to your driver. He/She will be happy to listen to your story and consider applying the discount for a period of time.

Question: Do you have “Kama'aina Rates”?

Answer: We do, but we don't want to alienate our “Island Guests” and so we don't publish those discounts. This discount cannot be given on previous grocery purchases and is only provided when asked about! You must be able to provide a current Hawaii State Driver's License or ID!

Question: Do you accept coupons?

Answer: We currently do not accept coupons, the extra processing and time for the volume of shopping we do makes utilizing coupons cost prohibitive.
