If so, tips? I've never done it but they're basically my favorite food and buying them already cut up in cups and bowls is way too expensive.

Cut stalk and bottom off, shave skin off and quarter, make vertical cut to remove the core from each piece and then cut it up however you prefer.

8" chef's knife. Cut off top and the base so that it remains flat when stood back up. Cut down the sides just enough to lift off as much of the outer part as you want. Once the outside is removed, I still keep it vertical and make one cut adjacent to the core but not into it. I'll then turn it just enough that I can make another cut close to the core and continue until you've large chunks of just the good stuff.

You'll be surprised how much yield there is compared to what you've been paying for cut up in the store.

Here's a youtube video of how Asians carve a pineapple. I find you save more pineapple by not complete removing the pineapple eyes when cutting the skin off.

ETA: mute the video if needed.

Buy a plastic corer at Wally first. Cut the top and bottom ends off to have a flat surface to work with on both ends. Cut the skin off the pineapple far enough to cut as most of the eyes have been removed. Twist the corer around till it reaches from one end to the other the result will be a single twisting cut from top to the bottom with the tough/inedible fibrous as hell core removed which can be cut into as many pieces as you like. If you have a juicer you can probably run all of the waste through it to get a bit more of the goodness of your labor and money. The juice of a pine apple is beneficial to your intestines doing their job.
