TL;DR
For fresh prawns and fish, local markets are generally cheaper than supermarkets unless there is a promotion. Vinh Hai is recommended for budget groceries, while the Aquamarine shop has a broad drinks and fruit selection, though waterfront shops can be less expensive.
Markets are usually better value for fish, prawns and other seafood. Supermarket prices may only match them during promotions, although supermarkets have a wider choice of bread and baguettes.
The shop downstairs to the right of the Aquamarine reception has a large selection of drinks, including several shelves of beer and rum, plus good fruit. However, waterfront shops may have lower prices for drinks and fruit.
For lower-cost grocery shopping, try the Vinh Hai area. It is less touristy and is recommended for inexpensive fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and prawns.
