I have a Butler bag, and in it is a wallet with my credit cards, debit cards, grocery discount cards, a hairbrush, my keys, a compact umbrella, a checkbook, nail file, iPod, iPhone, Tide stick, Chapstick, makeup compact, dental floss, mini deodorant, mini hand lotion, and a little stuffed animal monkey I have kept in whatever purse I currently use since I was in high school.
In my purse I carry my wallet, checkbook, chapstick, tiny hair brush, business cards, a couple of pens/pencils, small bottle of ibuprofen, phone, keys, small hand sanitizer, and a flash drive.
In my Kate Spade mini-courier bag (13"x8"x3"?) I carry a digital camera with video; wallet with gift cards, library card, a couple of membership cards, AAA card, insurance card, dollars and coins; an iPhone in a holder that holds my credit cards, license, atm, and biz cards; a 3x5 notebook; 3 pens, a coupon wallet; a coin purse that holds iPhone/pod earphones and a mystery key; a small makeup see-thru mesh zip bag with lipstick, eye shadow, blush, burts bees lip balm AND chapstick, mascara, 3 eyeliners (!), eyeliner sharpener, face blotting strips, moist towelette packet, a rubber band, bandaids, moisturizer, a plastic thingy that helps a child use chopsticks, a Raw Sugar packet,white sugar packet, a nail file, hair elastic, pillbox with allergy meds, inhaler, lip balm, fem product; Matchbox car, Trader Joes Mixed Berry Fiberful dried fruit bar, a packet of Tazo Earl Grey tea; calculator, blue sharpie, lip gloss, portable bandage holder "Mini First Aid"; portable tissue pack; and a dried-out package of wet wipes. Key chain with 12 keys and store cards hangs off the side via carabiner clip. I'm the working mom of a 6 year old boy.
Totally agree with all the above Philip. You can live frugally anywhere, you just need to make the big changes to your lifestyle; obviously when you've done this and have frugal habits, you can then move abroad and see some sunshine :-)
I carry my drivers license, bank card, 2 credit cards, a couple of business cards, couple of DD and Starbucks gift cards, library card, insurance, couple of receipts (use the back of them for random lists). I hate carrying a purse (I'm abnormal for a girl) so I clip my keys to my wallet and put my phone in my pocket and I'm good to go.
Great tips! I love Ikea, but we call it the "Evil Swedish Furniture Store". The nearest one to me is in Pittsburgh, about 100 miles from me but we make it a day trip. I usually spend 2-3 hours in the store, buy a few things in the marketplace, and mostly just look. Shopping Ikea is differnt than shopping just about anywhere else. It has to be seen to be understood.
What's in my wallet? Not a Capital One card. But, I have pictures of my family, a credit card, library card, driver's license, and all those fun cards like health insurance, car insurance, etc. I don't usually carry cash, but my kids have me carry theirs, so there is usually some change in there too. Extra 3x5 cards--great for jotting down ideas!--and business cards round out the wallet. Now if you're talking my purse...that's another story!
Checkbook, 2 pairs of sunglasses (black & brown, you never know when you need to change up the color!), 2 reusable nylon grocery sacks in case I run to the grocery on impulse, address book, 2 hand lotions, tissues, handheld mirror, hairties, 2 lip balm, cough drops, aspirin, 2 flash drives, iPhone, business phone, work keys, car/house keys, and my wallet which contains $2, 3 credit cards, 1 debit card, 3 fortune cookie fortunes, a dozen or so store loyalty cards, driver license, health/dental insurance card, AAA card, bus card, Gamestop card, library card, rental car frequent renter card, car insurance card, and more business cards than I can shake a stick at!
Whoa. What have we here? I just dumped out my fanny pack. My regular wallet contains business cards, a bunch of gift cards with various amounts remaining, credit card, driver's license, library cards, health insurance card, AAA card, bank card, a couple older pics of the kids, no paper money. Also have a Swiss army knife, tape measure (for yard sale measuring), paperclip, pen, reciepts, yard sale wish list for friends and family, a ton of change, clip on sunglasses, car keys, house keys, grocery wallet has customer cards and no cash. No wonder my back hurts....
In my purse I carry 2 credit cards, debit card,cash(appx $10), a coin purse, checks, 2 pilot pens, a planner, candies, lipstick, a comb, drivers license, keys with lots of loyalty cards in the key ring, health insurance card, AAA Card, Student ID Card(going to college) cell phone, a book or magazine(whatever I happen to be reading at the time), kleenex, diapers, wipes, a t-shirt ( I have a baby!), handcream, extra pair of spectacles, coupons, granola bars, a bottle of water/juice, a small notepad, several receipts from various stores, 2 scrunchies, pictures of my babies
I carry the same stuff no matter how many times i change my pocketbook, I carry the stardard large wallet to hold pictures, credit cards, ids, coupon cards, insurance cards, receipts, andsometimes there is even cash in there. post it notes, 3 checkbooks, 2 calendars, perfume, pens pencils, tide to go, 2 change purses, Splender, sewing kit, eyeglass repair kit, nail clipper, chapstick,business cards, work id pass, hand sanitizer, eyeglass wipes, keys, calculator, tissues, cold medicine, gum, eraser, envelope with more receipts in it, aspirin, bandaids, mirror, highliter and a comb.
Wallet: ATM cards from two banks, my credit card, HSA debit card, library card, Gamestop card, restaurant stamp cards, a couple of checks, stamps, any random coupons I may have found interesting. I rarely have cash, but I keep all receipts in there until I file them.
Purse: wallet, brush/mirror contraption, lip balm, lipstick, glasses microfiber cloth, mini flashlight, phone, iPod, Advil (currently in a mini Altoids case...), Big Y coins, grocery store keytags on my car keychain, eyedrops.
In my wallet: usually very little cash, two credit cards, one debit card, driver's license, insurance card, and that's about it. In my purse: wallet, cell phone, chapstick, keys, change.
Hey zorcy, just a quick question. I used silver non lead solder for my copper / thermometer holes on the pressure cooker. I flipped the lid and gave the under the lid a quick solder also. Is that ok?? I also gave a quick layer of JB weld on the top of the lid holes, not underneth. Is that ok also? Thanks for the help!!! Awesome forum!!!
Thank you very much.. Can this lower a person a1c level? I really hate those pills they drop my blood sugar to low and I faint in the street. I would like to avoid those meds.
Thank you
Alice

Oh, I forgot to ask as well, what's the best thing to use for a pressure relief? Just in case of over pressuring? Again, thanks!
