Where to buy groceries for home cooking in Da Nang (cheapest supermarkets)?

Opinions differ. In September 2026 a traveler who cooked her own breakfasts in a hotel kitchen wrote that groceries felt very cheap compared with home — breakfast supplies plus a case of Saigon beer cost her little — while noting that it depends on what prices you compare with. In early October another participant said the opposite: supermarket prices were almost the same as in Russia, and was looking for cheaper places to buy meat, vegetables and fruit.

In mid-August 2026 a traveler who shops at MM Mega Market compared prices at GO! and Lotte Mart and found them roughly the same everywhere. In their view, living back in Moscow had been cheaper — eggs and milk, for example, cost more here, and they could not find them for less.

Another family who had arrived in Da Nang in August 2026 tried Lotte Mart and several mini-marts. At Lotte Mart prices did not seem particularly low compared with home: some items were cheaper, others more expensive. The mini-marts had a small selection and were not cheap either.

A tip from the August 2026 discussion: when budgeting for food, base it on staples — meat, chicken, milk, eggs, rice, potatoes, pasta, sugar, cooking oil and basic fruit. Everything else, the participant said, counts as treats. The same participant pointed out that a 1.5-liter bottle of cola costs about a dollar at wholesale stores in Russia too, so comparing prices on such items says little.
