We've chartered from CYOA four times and have self provisioned each time. We hit Pueblo and get any items that they don't have at Gourmet Gallery in Crown Bay. Cost U Less has great bulk items and the nearby Plaza Extra is my favorite grocery store.
Which boat and how many in your crew?

Best way to not have so much left is only buy a for a few days at a time. I find plans change - we eat out more often a lot of the time when we thought we'd eat on board. Or we have such a late lunch we end up just snacking for dinner..etc.
By buying just a couple days in advance, you can avoid wasting food on meals you end up not having.
