When shopping for sales, you need to be ready with glasses, measuring tape, and some times a bag, a lot of places do not give bags with purchase. Oh, all women need a place to hide and carry our tampons and pads, a small perfume or BO stick. Each of us are different, lol. I have small travel size hair jell and a brush, breath mints, and a nail clipper. So when we are out and some things arises, we are ready. We do not run to the nearest drug store and spend too much for a last minute need.

People think I'm weird because my purse is about the size of an overnight bag... really! And that's what it ended up doubling as when I made a quick trip to Indiana for a family reunion. And like you, I have everything I can think of for small emergencies. Last but not least, it's big enough that I can stow my long white folding cane sometimes. The one thing I learned not to do was carry a water bottle inside - that's how I killed one of my fave electronics. My water bottle leaked. Grr!
