"Potato chips are a non-essential foodstuff" - Blasphemy!! Know whatcha mean about the prices, though. Lots of times, I'll try a store brand - Lucky's is really good, one of the best. I shop like a damned hawk - try to get everything I buy on sale - who cares what kind of OJ it is? As for all the additives in processed food, I hope my body forgives me!
I like Gordon-Biersch too, also Sapporo, Long Board, and Michelob. Los Gatos Brewing Co. has some good beer, too, though I don't think they bottle it.
