TL;DR
Travelers say the cheapest strategy in Da Nang is to shop at large supermarkets like Lotte Mart, MM Mega Market, and Go!, ideally buying supplies for several days or the whole trip at once. These stores are better for drinks, snacks, coffee, cacao, nuts, and small household items than convenience stores near hotels.
Vinegar and baking soda can be found in any small local shop, and MM Mega Market definitely has everything needed. However, grilling charcoal was never spotted there.
The most practical tip is to avoid buying small amounts near your accommodation and instead do one large supermarket run. Travelers recommend Lotte Mart and MM Mega Market because buying drinks, snacks, and everyday items in bulk can noticeably reduce costs over the whole trip.
If your main goal is groceries, Go! is also mentioned as a good option specifically for food shopping. It works well for regular groceries and essentials, while small souvenir-style items can be chosen on-site depending on what you find.
For take-home gifts in Da Nang, supermarkets are considered a practical place to buy edible souvenirs such as nuts, cacao, and coffee. The feedback suggests this is more budget-friendly than buying gifts in tourist-focused shops.
Large supermarkets are also recommended for stocking up on drinks and snacks such as beer, cola, soju, and similar items. This approach is especially useful if you are staying for a full vacation rather than just a couple of days.
Besides food and gifts, hypermarkets can also be useful for small household purchases such as car air fresheners and similar low-cost items. Travelers note that these miscellaneous products are also cheaper when bought together in one big store.
