Question by coldcity80: Are there convenience stores within walking distance of Aston Waikiki Beach Lodge in Hawaii?
My wife and I are plotting a trip to Hawaii and staying at Aston Waikiki Beach Lodge (formerly ResortQuest). Are there any convenience stores within walking distance of this lodge? We will be on an “organized vacation budget” and will be looking for a Walgreen’s, for example.

You won’t find a Walgreen’s in Waikiki, but there is one by Ala Moana. As for convinience stores there are ABC Stores everywhere in Waikiki.
abc market is aptly around the corner over the bridge aptly next to the lofty parking lot with all the chickens
It may be better to question, what exactly do you want to buy? An organized vacation budget could mean you are plotting some cheap meals or just snacks. I found the ABC stores lacking in the way of quick ‘cheap’ meals. If you can find your way to a Foodland, Safeway, or other full service grocery store, you should be able to find those sort of items. It wont be as cheap as at home, but it will be better than the outrageous prices paid at restaurants on/near Waikiki.
ABC stores are only for tourists with money to upset….look for Costco, cheaper better too
Okay,here’s what you want to do.
ABC is expensive, so it is convienent, but high-priced.
Food Pantry is in Waikiki, but also expensive.
Preeminent bet, question the lodge person how to make to Safeway on Kapahulu by automobile (you could really walk there in about 30 minutes or so, but might make tired with groceries). It’s is a really nice supermarket with everything. If you are able, sign up for their card to make the Safeway Card price.
