Wait no longer to treat yourself or someone you love to summer fruit.

Then, head for Daiei, where fresh pineapple is selling for 28 cents a pound - that's a best buy $1.40 for a juicy five-pounder.

Hawaii, crown princess of pineapple production, grows 345,000 tons of pineapple valued at more than $87 million. Look for pines slightly soft to the touch with full, strong color and no sign of greening. Pineapple is a fair source of vitamins C and A.

Add to those colorful fruit trays and fruit cups other best buys, such as cantaloupe at 39 cents a pound at Star Markets, 47 to 49 cents at Sack N Save, Foodland and IGA.

Red Delicious apples go for 68 cents a pound at Daiei, while gala apples are three for a dollar at Foodland and 87 cents a pound at Sack N Save.

A 12-ounce basket of strawberries costs 97 cents at Sack N Save and 99 cents at Foodland. Don't forget kiwi at three for $1 at Safeway, and a bunch of bananas at 69 cents a pound at Safeway and 89 cents at Times.

Also, medium Island Fresh eggs are only 89 cents a dozen at Star.
