TL;DR
Aten Market chain offers fixed low prices and accepts both Egyptian pounds and USD (at 49 rate). Mangoes from 35–60 EGP, Coke can 17 EGP. Carrefour is another solid option.
On the way to Red Sea Bazaar, look for Aten Market — entrance is down a staircase. Fixed low prices, accepts both Egyptian pounds and USD at a fair rate. The more visible Red Sea Bazaar nearby is noticeably more expensive.
Aten has several locations in Hurghada with fixed prices. Mangoes cost 50–60 EGP, with occasional sales on yellow mangoes at 35 EGP. Chips run 10–20 EGP by weight, a 330ml Coke can is 17 EGP. Halva is 1.5–2x cheaper than at nearby small shops. Pay in pounds or USD (rate 49), and you can mix currencies on one receipt.
From a real spending breakdown: a Mango Market grocery run came to around 2,000 EGP, and Carrefour to about 2,100 EGP — both are comparable options for larger grocery shops.
