The cost is affordable

Pineapple is available yearround, generally fresh in the supermarkets produce section, and almost always in the canned fruit aisle in small or mediumsize containers. It can be found in jars, too. It is not unusual to find sale prices for this item, but on average, for about a dollar or two, shoppers can enjoy a readytoeat treat that can be prepared in seconds by removing the skin of fresh fruit or opening the canned or frozen variety.
