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

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.

bulk granola, made in person seems quite expensive, rather than buying the pre-packaged from brand names.

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.
