Food is so expensive in Hawaii, I just thought of saving some $$$.
No problem. You should do it because you will save money by buying meat in the mainland and shipping it to Hawaii as you don't go over your weight limits. If packed in a cooler, your cooler will even transfer to Hawaiian Air as pax baggage to the other islands. When checking in your meat say "Mahalo" to the agent at the ticket counter.

Even better, upgrade to first class and send 3 packages of up to 70 pounds per person. If you are going to the Big Island, send me a PM.
