I used to drink pineapple juice regularly. Unfortunately it is expensive. Goes great with vodka though.

...How low would your salary have to be for juice to be expensive?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

That's it, I'm changing my time-travel wish fulfillment to going back to Canada in the 60s and killing whoever first put pineapple on pizza.

But it's gooooooood

I don't recall seeing pineapple juice at the local mid-quality grocery store.  It might be a specialty item here in the States.  The elite, extra-expensive chain probably has it.

...What.

Isn't it a normal ingredient in cocktails?

I don't know the chains in your area, but Walmart lists it at $2.77 a can on their website.

Besides, you can get the horrid stuff just by buying a can of pineapple chunks.

Walmart has *everything*, in a way.  I don't go there except for unusual stuff.  I'm sure it has juice of every fruit...  From the best offer, and covered in added sugar.

Local store might have pineapple juice.  Likely I didn't notice while scanning for my grocery list.

Its pretty important in mai tais

I don't have anything against pineapple on pizza, but I've never tried and I don't feel any need to. Only fruit we need on pizza is TOMATO.

What about bananas?

...no?

Why would you do that?

My wife doesn't work, we just had a baby, and I am hourly at a grocery store. Anything that isn't, 'you will literally die without this', is too expensive.

[EnigmaticHat]

My heart goes out to you.  Its not easy to make that work these days.

[Hanslanda]

I appreciate that. We are doing very well, all things considered. We just need to get a home loan but low credit. My wife is pretty stressed about it, but I am patient. Just gotta play the credit card and car loan game.

It helps that I am an assistant manager at a good company.

[EnigmaticHat]

That's good.  I'm also in retail currently but I'm at a company that doesn't promote from inside the company.  I don't know about your grocery store but here the difference between what a manager makes and what part time/entry level makes pretty huge.  Depending on how many hours the part time employee gets it can be more than double... fortunately for me I'm still getting some support from my parents.

Huh I also work in retail now (Dollar General) and I was just told, literally yesterday that I'm being put up for promotion to keyholder, after only about 3 months working there.
And that also came literally the day after my computer completely crapped out, and that the power supply kicking the bucket decided that 'you know what, I'm taking all of y'all with me' and expanded some capacitors on the motherboard too.  So it is quite welcome since I'm going to be dropping a relatively significant sum on a new computer.  I still won't be 'real' full time though, so it may not be a huge increase in pay.

I am also getting support from my mom, mostly because mom does not want to live alone, and doesn't want me to leave though.
