      Hello, Lorraine. I really loved that backpack as well, but unfortunately it eventually stopped being functional and I had to replace it.

So if if this is how college kids are eating these days, they got it good! 😅 In all seriousness though, we do cook 90% of our meals and generally keep those quite healthy, so that way we don't have to feel guilty when we do eat out and make some not so healthy choices. For organic food, St. Pete has Evos, Cider Press Cafe, and Love Food Central that I know of. Obviously neither is going to make a "Cheap Eats" video, but we have heard good things about all 3!
