There are western chain convenience stores everywhere, such as Lawson's. They work fine for basics like water, snack foods, etc. Fruit can be found at street venders and small stall type shops. In Pudong there's a big shopping mall that I think is called Fashion Mall. It's near some major hotels and well known. It has a bunch of places that sell prepared food, including foreign fast food but IIRC there's a big grocery store down in the basement as well as a large western drugstore. Asian department stores tend to have food halls in their basements with counters selling a large variety of local and imported food. For example, there's one of these across the street from Le Royal Meridian Hotel, on the corner of People's Park. Finally, some top hotels have gift stores, bakeries, etc. that sell fancy take-home food that has been prepared in the hotel restaurants.
