pineapple prices

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

My fruit sellers tell me that their pineapples are no good right now, so don't buy them. Who am I to argue ? There are seasons for everything.

Pineapple souvenirs can now be used as 'dust collectors' and/or 'conversation pieces' as below from the Youtube video of Mary Trump on 60 Minutes recently.

The quality of pinneapples here is pathetic. They must be local. The sellers - Luckys, Super Duper etc have no acceptance of the concept of 'perishable stock' and just leave it on the shelves rotting until it is sold before refilling the space. They don't even discount when it is near the end to shift it and make room for fresh, They just leave it there to rot.

Bought in Mexcio City, in March 2020 . About 2 kilos, thin skinned, juicy and super sweet and less than $1

Bought yesterday from Super Duper for just less than $1
