What's in your purse?

[Flair Underwood]

I am always surprised by the random stuff in my purse. This morning i found:


- one toddler sock
- two clementines
- a Rx for my contacts
- a fruit roll-up
- a takeout menu for the pizza place
- two sets of keys
- one big band-aid
- one menstrual cup (new, wrapped of course) 
- a bunch of wondfo LH strips
- a pregnancy test
- some random markers


This is honestly what I'm thinking about at 8:45 on a weekday morning.  What are you carrying around for no good reason?

Currently,
-the basics (wallet, etc)
-A half-eaten mini-box of Fruit Loops
-2 brushes
-make-up bag
-a snack size bag of peanuts
-my husband's phone charger
-a bunch of loose change
-a fisher price Little People car
-lots of old receipts that need to be tossed
-a small stock of dum dum lollipops

The funniest thing I ever found in there was a rubber duck that DS dropped in one morning. I got to work and lol'd.

I recently switched purses, so it's pretty sparse right now. I have wallet, sun glasses, keys, receipts, lipstick, a flashlight/whistle safety thing with a pointy end to stab people, a golf ball.

I use a really small purse. Most of our crud is in the diaper bag. My purse has a little cash, my id and cards, and some coupons. My keys are clipped on the side, and my phone goes in too. But not there at the moment

headphones
half-eaten chocolate bar
granola bar

$500 in cash - WOOPS! This was wedding gift cash. We've been married 5 months and I've been carrying this around that whole time. I intended to deposit it in the bank but I guess I forgot. So thank you for this thread because otherwise who knows when I would have remembered this! And now I'm $500 richer. Yay!

I'm now obsessing over what I can buy with my newly-found $500. I wonder if the people who gave us wedding cash had any idea it would be used to buy a car seat or a stroller!

Or maybe, inspired by the randoms, a house cleaner!

[bgkc4]

Can we just talk about what's not in my purse for a second...? I switched purses this morning and assumed all of the paper in the bottom of my bag were old receipts. I went to CVS and filled up my cart and realized I left my 25% off coupon that expires today!!!!! Ugh. So annoying. I bought the stuff anyway, but it ended up being $57! I could've saved almost $15!!!!! I'm so mad at myself. I carry so much junk in my purse and wallet and still don't have what I need when I need it! Okay, rant over.

-Diapers and wipes
-Lots and lots of crumbs

-Those little tops that come on starbucks drinks to keep them warm...oops!

And a bunch of other random junk depending on how long before I clean it out each time...

I often only carry my phone with me.  I have an awesome case that fits 3 cards in it, so I have my phone, CC, bank card, and driver's license.  It's perfect for amusement parks.  

I also never carried a diaper bag but always left it in my car.  We had one in my car and one in DH's and just restocked diapers/clothes as needed.  it worked perfectly!

That's about it some old receipts and my phone goes in there too. I have a small purse since I used to just use the diaper bag but now that DD is a little older I want to get a bigger one because I don't always take her diaper bag with me. That will probably change when this LO comes along though.
