It has a LARGE number of entries. I'd like to grab the 10 most expensive items from each category in a single query. How can this be done?

Use a LIMIT on your SELECT. See:

Without using UNION, (which would require writing a select statement for each category), how would LIMIT allow him to do this for each category in a single query?
