TL;DR
Basic grocery prices (eggs, milk, meat) in Da Nang are similar to or higher than in Russia across major chains — Lotte Mart, MM Mega Market, GO!, and mini-marts. Price differences between stores are minor; focus budgeting on staple foods rather than imported goods.
MM Mega Market is a popular grocery chain, but prices for eggs and milk are about the same as at GO! and Lotte Mart — noticeably higher than in Russia.
At Lotte Mart, prices are mixed — some items cheaper than in Russia, others more expensive. Overall not much cheaper.
Small local mini-marts have a limited selection and prices are not lower than in supermarkets.
Tip from experienced expats: when budgeting for food, focus on staples — meat, chicken, milk, eggs, rice, potatoes, pasta, sugar, oil, and fruit. Extras like a 1.5L bottle of Coke (~$1) are treats, not essentials.
