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. :D
-
I try NOT to but it adds up. I just need my house and car keys, wallet, phone and headphones (I talk walks at lunch.)
-
I carry my stuff, my husbands stuff and all kinds of other stuff, most of which I don't need. But it seems like if I take something out then I will need it.
-
I have a huge purse so I tend to really just throw everything in there. If I go to the store and only have a couple bags I just throw it all in my purse. I had a 2 liter and chips in my purse when I went to the movies the other day and you couldn't tell
-
I carry almost everything but the kitchen sink. I carry my stuff and his stuff. I carry aspirin, tums, baby wipes (for grandson), coupons (never know when you need them). I tried cleaning out my purse but didn't throw anything out!
-
I got TIRED of carrying a purse. I had a large enough bag that I would toss my coffee mug in there, daughter's toys, etc. Could never find anything. For the last few months I have just been carrying a wristlet wallet. FREEING.
-
I've gone back and forth carrying a big purse for a while then tiring of carrying so much stuff I downsize to a small purse. The cycle repeated many times. ::) These days I carry a tote/purse so I can take breakfast with me, to eat on the train, when I go up to Albuquerque for the day. Then I can put small purchases in it instead of carrying a separate bag. ;)
-
i also go from big,,, back to small,,,,, down to one just big enough for my cell phone, pair of reading glasses and my drivers license and some cash lol I hate carrying anything but sometimes i just don't have any pockets lol
-
I used to carry a purse, but it seemed like I always carried everyone elses stuff, so now I have a small wallet that fits into my pocket..and no more purse. Let everyone carry their own stuff!! LOL!
-
L0L guilty! I work 10 hours a day with only half hour lunch so i rather have everything at hand, especially when i work overnight shifts
-
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.

I only carry what I need. I try to have anything else I could need in my car.
-
I don't carry a purse. I'm sure I'd forget it somewhere. I like traveling light, and not being tied down with anything. I have a wallet I can stick in my pocket.
-
If I'm only going out for a short while, I take very little and just put it in my pockets. If I think I'm going to be gone for longer, I carry a pharmacy, haha. Tissues, feminine hygiene stuff, mints, compact mirror, TWO wallets (one for change and one for everything else!), etc. :) I always feel prepared. :thumbsup:

OMG! That soon exactly like me! I finally started buying smaller handbags because the bigger it is the more stuff I will put in it.
-
I do! I try not to, but it just doesn't go my way. lol Sometimes I'll try to limit the things I take with me, but it's just not possible!!

I have a bag that I use at work. I usually don't carry a purse. I had a bad habit of sitting it down and forgetting it when I was a teenager, so I don't carry them often. I carry one into the grocery store or bank sometimes. And if I go out and don't have pockets I may carry one. Especially if it matches my outfit. I usually just keep it locked up in the trunk of my car.
-
I do not carry a purse anymore because there are too many purse snatchers in this world. I carry a backpack now...because it is safer!
-
I have far too much in my purse and hate carrying it. It is so heavy. I take advantage of any occasion where I can carry no purse at all.
-
I don't carry a purse anymore
-
I always carry one. I don't think I would if it wasn't cross body since I tend to forget things.
I actually need to carry a purse because I walk with a cane and can't carry things in my hands. :rainbow: :rose: :peace: :wave:
-
I don't carry a purse. Thank You!
-
Ok I am guilty as charge as well, what I had done is buy an slightly smaller purse for work and and even smaller of rthe weekends, the weekends purse has enough space for the mos important of stuff, wallet, keys, phone and an smaller pocket for hand sanitizer, lotion and tissues.
-
I carry a purse, but try not to have a lot in it!
-
I only carry what I need.
-
I was never much of a "purse" person. When I got into rock climbing a while back, I found a mini-backpack type "purse" which was small and light enough to carry the essentials (water, camera, car keys). I use that as my purse. Small enough for the essentials (checkbook/money, phone, tissue, keys, small umbrella in the summer). That's all I need.
-
I carry a purse with a little bit of everything. You never know when you're going to need a band aid or snack or magazine!
-
I try to only carry the necessities. I have to have my wallet and I carry my checkbook and sunglasses and chapstick.
Those are the basics that I carry. My cell phone goes with me where ever I go, so that also goes into my purse.
-
I dont like carrying a purse, Im not really a girly girl, but I do when I go shopping, as it has everything I need, but I dont carry alot of stuff in it
-
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.
-
yep that's me! :P
-
yep i carry a purse and yes i some time feel like i am carrying everything but kitchen sink ha ha ;D
-
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.
-
My purse is same important as my cell, I have many make up in my purse.
-
oh... i have 3 little kids, and i dont like diaper bag. so handbag is just like a black hole. everything is there and everything is dissapear, LOL...
-
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.

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

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.
-
I like a large handbag even if I don't fill it up with stuff. I would carry a purse even if it was empty.
-
I like carrying a small purse, not the big one. Small and light weight is easier to carry everywhere.
-
I carry a purse with only what I need. When I go out to a restaurant, I like to bring one.
I don't keep it too heavy though.
I have a friend who used to carry a heavy purse. She also kept hitting her leg and had a constant wound that, once it healed, came back again since she kept banging her leg.
The day came when she needed a walker and no longer has that problem; no need to carry a purse.
-
I don carry a purse unless I have to pay for something. I don't like carrying extra baggage I have enough on my hips lol.
-
My i have so much in my purse and have of it i really dont need and really need to clean it out but than i have alot in my purse again so it hard for me to not keep alot in my purse
-
In the past I always carried a lot of junk in my purse which weighed a ton. This is stuff that I never used. So I downsized my stuff and purses.
-
I carry a purse, but its not a big one, its about medium size. I have a tablet so it has to fit. I can't carry to much due to health.

I have found that carrying just what you really need is best. A big purse is too heavy tolug around. I like the light-weight purses. They are easier to handle and you don't carry around too much stuff.

I try to keep it light; but that does not always work out. I take out my quarters and keep them in the car, change adds weight by always taking out the quarters,I always have change when I need it and takes off some of the load.
-
I can't leave my house without my purse. My wallet, coupon wallet, keys, phone, etc.
-
Unfortunately, I too carry a lot of stuff to work but I take a small purse that I can fit into a tote and fill the tote with all the "extras" - at least I only carry one bag that way.
-
i carry a purse but only keep the things in it i relly need,,,,,, :rainbow:

I like stuff like that, anything type of bag with a lot of pockets, mini back pack and all. I have one of those big plastic tubs
Of purses and bags, lol.

I used to carry one of those, but with no kids around, I have a small purse and things still get lost in it!!!
