We know about Sam’s Club, Soriana’s and Bodega…. I had read that on some items they upcharge due to tourists?
What are the best recommendations.
Thanks

I wonder where you read that? In my experience there is no difference in pricing for locals and tourists. Each of the stores you mention carry different things. For Sam's you need a membership, for Soriana and Bodega you don't.

Consider buying and eating local. The local market has a large variety of great fruits and vegetable, way better than what Soriana, Bodega, or Sam's have to offer, and you will be helping the local economy. The following are google map links of places to shop in and around the market.

Mercado de Campesinos is a great place to find fresh caught seafood, farm fresh eggs, vegetables and fruit.

Cremeria la Suiza is a great place to get butter, cheese and many other dairy products.

Casa de Granel is a bulk foods store that sells everything from oatmeal, quinoa, wine, honey, etc. by the kg. You only buy what you need and if you can bring your own containers you can avoid unnecessary packaging.

Las Palmas bakery is one of many great bakeries in the area. I especially like to buy their loaves of bread which are delicious and so much healthier than the store bought preservative laden alternatives.

Anyway, those are just a few of my favorites and if you go there you will see that there are countless options and may even find some of your own favorites.

Saludos!

They also have items that we really want that Soriana doesn't carry, especially the semi exotic produce.
