TL;DR
For more local grocery prices, try Metro Market and Bassem Market in Nabq. There is also a suitable shop at Genena City, but some items may still be priced like premium originals; tourist shops can mark products up by as much as 10 times.
Authenticity is not the only issue: tourist-oriented shops in Sharm El Sheikh may charge around 10 times the usual price for similar items. Compare prices with supermarkets in Nabq before buying.
In Nabq, look for Metro Market and Bassem Market. Their range may not be dramatically wider, but prices are generally closer to local rather than tourist rates.
Genena City has one of the relevant shops for these purchases. Check the product origin yourself, though: some items may be priced similarly to genuine branded products.
