TL;DR
For rum, especially if you need a specific brand like Chavet, large hypermarkets are the better bet because small neighborhood stores may have very limited choice. For fruit, travelers liked the night market, where pineapples were seen at 20,000 VND per kg, though the fruit was on the smaller side and overall prices may be a bit higher.
The night market in Da Nang was mentioned as a decent place to buy fruit, although prices may be slightly higher. One concrete price reported was pineapples at 20,000 VND per kg, but the fruit was fairly small.
If you are looking for a specific rum such as Chavet, the better option is a large hypermarket in Da Nang rather than a small local shop, as that is where people usually expect to find it.
Regular small stores in Da Nang may have shortages of rum or only a very limited selection, so they are not the best place if you want variety and it is better to shop at bigger stores.
