MOZ only has 2 supermarkets/grocery stores: one in Vai'are & the other (smaller) one in PaoPao. It looks like you guys were going to the "magasins", they're more like small local marts or "country stores". They will not stock many things.

There are loads of restaurants & food trucks that aren't crazy expensive.

The currency in French Polynesia is the CFP franc, which is divided into 100 centimes.

Ia ora na (hello) Here my advice:
If you want to stay in closer distance to the more "active" side of Mo'orea - supermarkets, restaurants, shopping, tours, sightseeing etc., you should book accomodation within area from Afareaitu to Maharepa and Cook's Bay / Opunohu Bay. My advice: Check online for a bungalow - you have a great selection in every price range and size.
Greetings from Mo'orea (where I live) 🌴 🏖 😎 🤙🇵🇫 🇫🇷 🇪🇺
