I am not much of a purse carrier. I have a small card holder that I slip into my pocket for quick trips and a check wallet that I often carry. I own a purse, but rarely use it. I know many people are lost without their purses, so I wonder...what's in yours?

use to have one that i couldn't live without now i just lug my organizer around has cash Sometimes, license, isurance cards junk receipt as little as possable. I am actually amazed that i have down sized so much. Must be an age thing or i get it from my mother because she only carries her wallet with her checkbook in it.
Hey is the signature too long here
i have a wallet, a PDA, a cell phone, a mp3 player, check book, three or 4 pens, keys, work identification, a dozen or so dollar coins, assorted papers, some change, Chap stick, few pieces of hard candy, immoniun pills, motrin.. and a few objects I have not identified yet
I've got my wallet and checkbook in there, my cell phone (used for emergencies only), a pen or two, Tylenol, "womenly products" for that time of the month, tissues, chap stick. If I'm going to a friend's house or out (not too often) I carry a few pieces of makeup--lipstick, powder, and eyeliner. I would love to just carry a wallet, but every time I attempt this, I find myself wishing I had brought something from my purse.

In my purse you'll find my wallet, a comb, pens, pencils, address labels, old grocery receipts, gum, a calendar, Excedrin, Tums, "womens things" and loose change. You know, now that I look at that list, those are the things you'd find in dm's purse too!

drivers license, video rental cards, homeschool discount cards.
Checkbook.
cell phone
layaway tickets if anything is currently in layaway (not often)
Whatever receipts I haven't unloaded yet, lol
feminine items when needed
chapstick
I think that's it! oh, a pen! and it NEEDS a small hairbrush in it...but usually it ends up left in the car (which doesn't do much good on windy days when you park way out)
Junk-there is so much junk in my tiny little purse! There is probably 2 months of pay stubs, alittle wallet filled with credit card , license, business cards-mine and everyone I've met in the past 2 years, a pen, a few notes to self, an unfilled script, checkbook, lipstick etc etc etc. I keep my phone in the car, and my coupons and everything else.
I have kinda a tote instead of a purse.Or as us southerners call it a pocket book ANyways it is a big black bag(calvin klien given to me by my grandmother wooopppeeee)in it you will find on one side a 3 ring binder(told ya it was big)full of my daily plans,folder with bills,frugal ideas,recipes,etc plus there is a section where I write everything we spend in there daily(this is mostly why I keep it with me at all times)I also write my grocery list in my daily stuff to do,but if i took it out i would loose it and not beable to write on the back for my next grocery list ,also a list of yard sale needs and wants.you will also find on this side of my pocket book a notepad and a pen
in the middle I keep my wallet(lets not even go there)a film canister of quaters(never know when I'll find a yard sale)our clothing money,holiday money and my extras envelope(read post about envelope systm)and my keys this section is zipped.
on the other side I keep my big coupn organizer,and sale adds I need to take with me,receipts not yet recorded in price book,some makeup a large hairbrush(not so large now the handle broke off 1 week ago still to cheap to buy a new one,hey it still works)and of course womens needs and tylenol
I rarely go out,but this also doubles as a good filing sytem for our financial stuff.
I don't really like carrying a purse either, they feel so awkward to me, but when I do use one, it will have my wallet and keys, and my coupons, a comb, and chapstick.

What do you carry in your purse?
I could not begin to list all of the stuff I have in that bag
I'm sure it is a security thing!
