What food and products are worth buying in Nha Trang vs. bringing from home?

TL;DR
Crocs are cheaper back home with discounts, fresh fruit isn't worth buying since it's now widely available in your home country too, but shrimp salt and other Vietnamese specialty foods are worth stocking up on (sold e.g. at the Hanoi Mall); local supermarkets also carry familiar cottage cheese, meat products, and tasty unsweetened yogurts.
What the community said
Shrimp salt and other Vietnamese specialty foods are worth stocking up on — one traveler regretted not buying more even with three full suitcases. Available e.g. at the Hanoi Mall.

No need to specifically buy fresh fruit here — even lychee is now available in regular supermarkets back home.

Genuine Crocs are cheaper to buy back home if you catch a sale — the price can end up close to what a replica costs here, so it's not worth buying them in Nha Trang.
