TL;DR
Nha Trang is not automatically a bargain destination: costs depend heavily on accommodation and spending habits. A small basket of imported groceries at Lotte Mart can total about US$100, while one traveler planned around 60,000 for 15 nights.
At Lotte Mart, a small grocery basket including imported Kikkoman sauces, a pack of squid snacks, chocolate and gum came to about US$100. Imported foods and packaged snacks can raise everyday costs substantially.
Travelers caution that Vietnam may not be as cheap as travel blogs suggest. For a realistic Nha Trang budget, price accommodation, food and personal spending separately rather than relying on the country’s bargain reputation.
One traveler’s benchmark for a budget-style stay was 60,000 for 15 nights. This is a personal estimate, and the total will be higher with pricier accommodation or more spending on activities and food.
