Alpe d'Huez resort prices

You can get caught out like that at the top of the DMC lift, but further afield prices are ok, especially if you ski down to outlying resorts such as Oz, Auris and Vaujany.
Its often the case that the obvious places charge more, convenience food I guess.
This is why I use this forum (I'm not going to ADH and not perticularly planning to but I now have a sensible piece of advice). Too much hysteria about "ALL of X is this or Everything in Y is THAT" these days. However a sensible post based on facts (personal experience) is exactly what most are here for. Rant Over

We went last year and were pretty horrified at the mountain prices. 2 Cans of Coke, no ice, not even in a glass and 2 slices of pizza (yes, slices) 20 euros. That was on the first day so it was supermarket DIY lunches after that

There are some great little restaurants all around the area, mostly very good value too.
I like Tony, avoid the obvious places, usually they offer the worst food on the mountain at the highest prices. The little tucked away ones are best.

Although you asked about in-resort prices, they are hard to come by unless someone does some dedicated research for you (I know Andy Hull has offered to report back, generous chap, but its hard to see him trudging around the shops with a clipboard)...so here is something that might help you instead:
It looks like you are self catering, so here is where you can find info on the in-resort food shops: http://www.alpedhuez.com/en/winter/resort/shopping/supply.html
If you are very keen on getting the best prices you can take the bus down into Le Bourg d'Oisans and go to the big Casino supermarket.
The bus is the 3020, timetable here: http://www.transisere.fr/horaires_ligne/index.asp?rub_code=6&lign_id=150
You can get an idea of prices here: http://www.mescoursescasino.fr/ecommerce/GC-catalog/fr/WE38156/?moderetrait=Z2
Otherwise, I can only endorse the comments about the excellent (and large) pizzas at La Grange on Alpette in the Oz/Vaujany sector. In more or less the same place is La P'Oz, specialising in cheap(ish) and cheerful snacks and further down the Alpette run towards Oz Station is the Auberge de l'Alpette which has some of the best value for money food (IMHO) in the resort.
In Oz station itself there are several restaurants which are better value than those on the slopes.
