What do you carry in your purse?

I feel like I carry a huge purse. I have my datebook, and spot to put coupons, a notebook, a camera, and my phone.

Most times I only keep my wallet in it.

I have a failry large zippable "clutch" that holds all the normal wallet stuff, the checkbook, ID cards and all of that......... and then it has a cell phone holder on the outside and another zippered compartment that I don't really use much.... I don't carry a ton with me, really. I use this instead of a purse because I don't need a lot of stuff......and if I ever do need something, I would use the kids' diaper bag!

Oh and I'll occasionally throw in some lip balm.

My car has a place to store my sunglasses and I keep my keys on a necklace lanyard so I don't lose them.

I downsized my purse because everyone at my house (dh and 2 dks) kept asking me to hold things for them and before I knew it I was lugging around a very heavy purse!

So now I keep my wallet, phone, sunglasses, lip gloss and Liquid Aleve in it!!

i have my phone when it's not in a pocket, my wallet, checkbook, change purse, a couple of pens, and lip balm. the zippered pocket always has pads in it just in case.
from time to time it gets full of receipts but those are easy to take care of.

Nothing. 80% of the time I do not carry my purse. ITs kinda weird becuase I like purses and have some very nice ones but after haveing the kids it was just a PITA to carry one more thing.

I carry a huge purse also, every once in awhile I down size to something smaller but always end up back with the bigger purses.

I have a wallet, checkbook, several pens, day timer, calculator, measuring tape, tide stick, tissues, small package of handy wipes, peppermint mints,gum, change purse, nail clipper, hair bands, small brush, floss, cell phone, keys and small bag with headache medicine, neosporain, bandaids, lotion and lip balm. I feel like I carry a suitcase at times.

**autumnlynn** · 07-13-2007, 11:40 PM

I carry a French purse (something like a wallet), lipstick, compact, tissues in a cute purse tissue holder, tin of mints, my inhaler, a pen and a to-do pad as well as my cell phone.

I carry the purse I knitted/felted a while back. I need to line it & add a pocket because while it's not very big, it's pretty deep & I'm constantly trying to find my phone or a pen in the very bottom.

I don't carry much in my purse:

wallet
checkbook
pen
compact w/ mirror
pen
nail file
phone
