I only carry my keys, my wallet, and my cell phone. Grocery shopping for me is a second job so function and safety before beauty:) The best way to not have to worry about your purse is to use a fanny pack. albeit not the most attractive accessory.. i LOVE having to NOT worry about my wallet and having both hands free is a plus.

I simply run one end of the strap through the shoulder strap on my purse and hook it together, just as if you were securing a child. Then, as I move through the store, I usually keep one hand on my purse straps by hooking a finger into the straps while my hand is on the handle of the cart. If I happen to let go while I'm looking at something in the store, someone might TRY to grab my purse, but they're going to get a surprise, because it's strapped into the cart!! However, with the way most stores are laid out now, you rarely have to move far from your cart to look at items on racks or shelves, so the possibility of you turning your back on your purse, even for an instant, is pretty slim.

I would have never thought of that. Now, if I can just remember where I parked! LOL I like the idea of asking a security guard to walk you to your vehicle. I would have never thought of that.
