So, this post is actually going to include some prices which is rare for me but I think these are useful. They are Canadian and I think they're fairly good for across western Canada. So anyway... A good general rule, that I have found, is less than $1/lb for most fruit, but for berries less than $2/lb. Fruit is best when it's cheapest and in season, which I think is super great.
Here is what I see is good prices for specific fruits:
Cherries (in season about now) - 1.99/lb
Peaches/Apricots/Plums (in season later in the summer) - the closer to .99/lb the better, if you can get them for less even better
Apples (fall) - less than $.99/lb, but the closer to $.49/lb you can get the better price they are
Grapefruits (in season in winter) - $.49/lb
Oranges - Same as grapefruit
Strawberries (just out of season) - 1.49/lb at their cheapest, but I start buying them at $1.99/lb
Now, I know that isn't every fruit but that should give you a good starting point.
Also, last year cherries came closer to .99/lb. It doesn't happen every year but last year, I'm pretty sure, was a bumper crop so they were in the stores longer and were cheaper than they usually are.
So, enjoy your healthy (cheap) fruit.
