TL;DR
Head to the market around 4 PM for bargaining behind the main building. Street stalls on streets 2–4 are a convenient alternative if you want to skip the trip to the market.
At Cho Dam market a similar take-home fruit package cost around 70,000 VND — not a huge saving versus street stalls, but vendors behind the main market building often miscalculate change in the buyer's favor.
Fruit shops along streets 1–3 frequently shortchange customers on weight — buying from supermarkets is a safer bet.
Street stalls on streets 2–4 in Nha Trang are a convenient option if you want to avoid the market trip — saves time, though prices may be slightly higher.
The best time to visit the market is around 4 PM — you can negotiate good prices behind the main market building. By 5 PM, fewer vendors remain and fruit quality drops.
When buying fruit to take on a flight, choose medium-ripeness pieces so they survive the journey. Let the vendor know you're traveling — experienced sellers can help pick the right ripeness and pack them properly.
