I never carry a purse in the winter.  I put my wallet and keys in my coat pockets and I'm off.......

If you carry a man purse or a woman's purse what's in it?

I think I could probably live out of my purse...I have a little bit of everything!
JoAnne D. Jan 16, 2008, 8:34am EST
I don't know if I could ask someone this. I carry a lot of junk sometimes, If I get mugged I can hit 'em with my purse. lol. I decided it was too heavy to carry around like that so I had to clean it out. Sticking to the bare necessities is harder than I thought.

Lots of junk I don't need, that's for sure. survive winter in style

My purse is soo heavy...lol. I'm almost afraid to see what's in it. I know I have a book of poetry in there I'm reading. I also have a journal in there, and a notebook to take notes. I have makeup, my hairbrush, my wallet, checkbook, and the rest is junk...lol

I rarely carry a purse... When I do it starts with just the essentials and expands as the kiddos pile in their assortment of toys, trash, and whatever else they feel the need to have me carry...
Deb J. Jan 16, 2008, 10:14am EST

I clean and organize my handbag once a week! Otherwise I end up carrying around too many receipts and crap. I carry 2 lip glosses in different shades, a mint spritzy thing from Listerine, keys, mirror, phone book, pens & pencils, lip pencil, a few coupons, and a day planner thing (a tiny one). Otherwise the usual stuff - money and cards, a couple of pictures of my son and hubby. I think most people carry way too much stuff. I used to carry my whole life with me. I have cut down immeasurably.
The usual...plus unused and used kleenex (waiting til I get home to toss em)
I'm a knapsack-er! and oh my! way too much to list it all!!!
"card-case" w/credit ATM etc cards and a little "folding"money
Lip Balm
a book
aspirin
at least one camera
MP3 player
radio transponder for MP3 player
extra batteries
2-3 pens
small notebook
hard candies
gum
water bottle
if it is empty - travel mug
And on the bottom of one of the pockets lots of loose change!

P.S. Rebecca has the right idea!!!
Thank you Danielle for visiting the It Happened ToDay group and reading ToDay's history - Who does not love wine, wife and song?!!!
I really do not carry a purse at all. I do have a camera bag and usually drop my keys, money, and driver's license in it if I am carrying it around. However, when I am not toting the bag, I just put my keys and such in my pockets.
April H. Jan 16, 2008, 9:07pm EST
Chapstick
Credit Cards
Money (but not much)
Sunglasses

There was a point in my life when I seriously thought about buying a miniature kitchen sink. That way it could be said that I had everything in my purse, including a kitchen sink.
~~ Sarina ~~ Jan 17, 2008, 8:22pm EST
I carry the essentials. Nail clippers, tweezers, needle and thread, bandaids, toothpicks, tampons, reading glasses, sticky note pad, pens, checkbook, emery boards.
~~ Sarina ~~ Jan 17, 2008, 8:23pm EST
Hand sanitizing gel, lip balm, hand wipes.
~~ Sarina ~~ Jan 17, 2008, 8:24pm EST
spare change (always keep at least one quarter for the Aldi shopping cart), bobby pins, advil, tums, dental floss.
~~ Sarina ~~ Jan 17, 2008, 8:24pm EST
tissue, gum, hand lotion.

Thank goodness I don't carry a purse, Danielle.

The kitchen sink. The thing wieghs a ton. I'm sorry you haven't seen me in a while. I have MS and sometimes I'm a little out of commission and can't visit everyone like I would like to. I especially miss my favorites... Like you.
