Carrying a purse

[lucky382001]

I don't understand it because I clean out my purse everyday but I could be a candidate of the price is right lol

I was thinking this morning about my purse has so much crap in it that I don't even need. I feel like leaving it home and just taking my wallet.

It's better to be prepared than not prepared I say.

On the other hand, you don't want to carry so much stuff that your purse becomes heavier than a load of bricks. A heavy purse is not good for the shoulder and it'll wear out your purse straps that much sooner!

 always take my purse, but  may hide it in the car and not take it with me when I have hubby along as he can carry some cash. But when I have my dad I must carry it at all times as it has meds and an energy bar in it. He has diabetes  and it is not fun when his sugar drops too far and he goes down. I can get on it pretty fast and having him back up if I am close enough. Otherwise it takes longer. But the purse sure gets heavy at times.

I used to carry a lot of stuff in my purse, but I have downsized, and now carry only essentials.

I try not to carry a lot of things in my purse because it was making my shoulder hurt.

I used to carry a medium-to-large sized purse, but when I went overseas recently, I used a small cross-body bag and have been using it ever since. Had to organize and carry only the essentials, but I like it much better. The only time I had a much bigger bag was when my children were little and had to carry stuff for them.

How many women out there carry everything but the kitchen sink in their purse?

 
I am guilty of it everyday that i go to work. Since i am there for 8 hours, i take things that i need because i only get
a half hour lunch, so i do not want to use my time to run home for anything.

When i go anywhere else, i switch purses and leave all the extras at home.

I don't usually carry purses (except for formal situations) but I've found some cute ones that I'm willing to start with.

I carry a purse but it doesn't have anything of value in it so if I am robbed of my purse I would like to see the expression on their face when they discover that the most they will get is some loose change (less than a dollar) and a pack of cigarettes. By the way I don't own credit cards or debit cards. So a thief would be sorry if he took my bag and I would laugh my (?) off.

That's actually a good idea! I should carry a 'decoy' bag, just in case.

The most challenging purse issue is how to pare down what you carry when traveling and still have all the stuff you need.  Lugging around a heavy bag is the pits; I am always looking for a purse that is roomy but of very lightweight yet strong material, like the "parachute" fabric that was popular years ago.

I carry a purse, but there is very little in it.  My wallet, check book, a brush, tissues, keys and pens, that's about it.
