TL;DR
Recent reports say Senzo Mall and especially Spinneys can get very crowded, with checkout lines around 10–15 minutes. Some shoppers mention bargaining being discussed at Gomla, but overall several popular grocery spots in Hurghada were described as not especially budget-friendly.
Senzo Mall was reported as extremely crowded, with both locals and tourists shopping there, so it may not be the best choice for a quick grocery run during busy hours.
At Spinneys near Senzo, checkout waits were reported at about 10–15 minutes, so it is worth allowing extra time if you shop there.
At Gomla, one shopper even tried bargaining at the checkout after hearing it might be possible there, but it does not sound like a standard or guaranteed policy.
One shopper said that after checking about three different places in Hurghada, the prices still did not feel especially attractive, so major savings should not be expected.
