Where can I buy a small, inexpensive messenger-style bag?

Q. It need not have several pockets, zippers, and hoopla. Just the bag (big enough to hold a waterbottle, a camera, and my phone), and an adjustable strap. (It's for hiking.) And inexpensive would be nice.

I would rather get suggestions on where to get one, so I don't end up shopping around and finding stuff to buy at every store I visit.

Advice would be appreciated. Thanks!


Answer
J - what about something like an insulated nylon lunch bag?
The padding would protect your camera & phone, and keep the bottle and water on the outside, away from the electronic stuff. Most of them come with adjustable straps.
Another possible solution would be to find a plain black nylon purse. I found one at Kmart, made by American Tourister, which I use for my camera, along with a few odds and ends. Don't worry, it doesn't look girly or anything like that.
Third choice might be to look in the camping, sporting goods, or luggage section of a store. I've seen hip-packs that have buckle straps that could be worn over the shoulder.
Best, and least expensive, place to check out would be your local discount store like Kmart, WalMart or similar mart-mart stores. If there is an Army/Navy surplus store near you, they may have the type of bag you want.

Fast Food That Will Keep for 7 hours without Refrigeration?

I need to get some fast food early in the morning (5am) and put it in a bag until about noon, for lunch. Nothing hot will work, since it'll become soggy, and unfortunately, Subway isn't open that early. Any ideas?
If all else fails, I guess I'll have to bring a homemade sandwich.



Answer
The only restaurants that I know are open at 5am are diners, Dunkin Donuts, and any 24-hour Wendys or McDs that might exist where you are. But you really don't have to be stuck with their stuff, and none of it will still be nice and tasty by the time you eat it. So instead, make stuff at home and bring it.

You can buy insulated lunch bags for cheap - often less than $5 - and put a small ice pack (also cheap) at the bottom, in effect allowing you to bring anything you'd like for lunch. Here's an example of a manly insulated lunch bag, and of an ice pack, so you know what I mean:

Insulated lunch boxes come bigger and smaller than that, as well as more narrow, so if you need to find one to stick inside something you're carrying, you should be able to do so. You can buy stuff like this at Target, the supermarket, Walmart, etc.

If you want to bring something hot, you can also do that. You can buy an insulated Thermos, and put it in your bag. That way you can have soup, Mac & Cheese, leftovers from dinner, etc.

In this way, you can pack stuff from home, and save money like that - but you can also eat hot or cold foods, your choice, no risk of spoilage.
