    Carne asada. Tacos. Fucking food trucks in Portland want $15 for 3 street tacos. GTFO.

    Granola. It’s $5/lb at WinCo!

    NA beer. People weren’t buying reg beer so they just figured hey we’ll wreck this market by pricing people out of it too! So I get no alcohol and it’s the same price as regular beer? Piss off.

      Also in Portland. Food trucks are no longer the cheap street food thing. Haven’t been for years. Now they’re trendy and commercialized like everything else. I hate it

        Morons keep lining up no matter what they charge. The whole point of trucks is you don’t have to pay the restaurant lease, servers or dishwashers.

      The NA beer bothers me. They don’t have to pay all the various taxes and fees but it costs the same? Or more? There’s a brewery near me that is relatively large and ships internationally and their NA costs nearly 2x what another local much smaller place charges for real beer. That NA doesn’t even taste good in the world of NA beer let alone at their cost.

        I didn’t say I make it “in person”, that is their price per pound of bulk granola which, usually, should be the cheapest premade version of something.

      Give Old Milwaukee NA a try. I can go the fancy beer route, like Athletica, but on a hot day, doing yardwork, a cold OM is quite nice.
      Current local price is about 80 cents/can.

        Yeah I’m all for cheap beer, I stopped drinking several years ago so unfortunately pounder NA and other more economical options aren’t yet available. I never was loyal to one brand, pretty equal opportunity drinker for whatever was reasonable. Oh no advertisers, someone made it through your brand loyalty gauntlet!
