Did anyone else have a grandmother who tucked her coin purse between her boobs?

Yes, growing up there was a woman who was like a grandmother to us in our neighborhood.   She would do that and some of the older women always had hankys tucked in their bra.  Funny cuz they all wore aprons everyday with pockets.  LOL.

I am not a grandmother but have done both, tissue and cash in my bra.  In the summer they get sweaty!  Smiley Happy

My mother referred to her bra as her First National Bank.   No idea who she was copying.    By the time I was aware of the world outside home, both grandmothers and my paternal grandfather  had died.

@Bonkers1 No but my Grandma kept her purse in the dryer.

Her washer & dryer were in the kitchen & they parked & came in the back door which came into the kitchen.

The washer & dryer sat right there & she kept her purse in the dryer.

In case anyone broke into the house she said no one would look there!

Maybe same thing with money between b@@bs.

Had a close friend who kept her ca$h in her bra.   

 

She was also well-endowed, so there were times when she became a spectacle at the check-out stand...

Back in the mid '80's my grandmother told me she kept her monthly oil & gas royalty checks in the freezer until she could get to the bank.  Her reasoning was a burglar breaking in.  She did this up until she passed in 2011.

My Gram called this her pin money. It was an emergency stash of sorts.

 

She said to take pin money with me when going on a date. That way if he got fresh with you, you could catch a cab home safely. 😉
