For .50 per person, you can find lots of good bargains at the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet. I work with kids and find that I can get shell leis and kukui nut leis in bulk very cheap here. Also, I bring my visitors here to pick up touristy souveniers. They can buy 10 t-shirts for $20 and other similar deals. For myself, I actually do sometimes find nice items for me and my home. There is one vendor who sells really nice jewelry and wall decor at reasonable prices. Tourists should check out the painted coconut postcards. You can mail a real postcard home! I usually do one lap around the stadium each time I go. I go early in the morning when it is still cooler and the shade is there. One lap takes me usually an hour as long as I don't browse too long. A lot of the shops are repeats, so don't bother with going to each place. The exercise of just walking the one lap around the stadium is worth it.
