Oh yeah, great advice! Also those flour/grain pantry moths (they're -all over- southern California) live forever in the tiniest crevices and chew through bags and paper to get to things. Any bulk stuff I would recommend freezing for a couple of days to kill anything in it (heh, gross but not as gross as larva in it a month later). Loose grain? Cocoa? Dried peppers? Nuts? They eat all sorts of stuff other than flour.
The thing that made the biggest difference for me with those little bastards is pheromone based traps. If something dry is in the pantry for 8+ months i still find a little webbing in there & toss it but the problem is minimal compared to even just using glass storage.

I admit I didn't browse the seafood section while there but from what I saw and understand, I would not be shopping at the Queen Victoria Market if I was shopping on a budget.

I live across the road from QVM. It's not all high end, for fruit & veg the further from the fish & meat section you go the better the bargains. With meat & fish you look for specials.
Or just buy what you like and save money elsewhere, enjoying good food is the greatest pleasure in life.
