Handbags

[Q4u]

OH, and yes, I still carry a checkbook. It is housed in a Dooney & Bourke checkbook cover that is now a good 20 years old and in great condition)!  Good thing too because I don't think I can find another holder..... (I've looked),.....

I carry as little as possible and always have.  I carry no makeup, no tools, just a couple credit cards, health and i.d. cards, sunglasses and sometimes my phone, and a $50 and two $20's usually.

In this day and age add masks, wipes or sanitizer, and gloves. 

All fits in a tiny bag or a pocket or two.

Just curious. How often do you have to write checks? Or do you prefer them over debit cards?

We prefer using checks and will not use debit cards or have payments electronically sent (even though we can).... occasionally we have but overall still prefer dealing in checks....

I used to carry huge bags when I worked, but in retirement I prefer a small crossbody bag in leather or faux leather. I have streamlined what I need to carry with me. I like a pocket on the outside and one or more pockets on the inside. I prefer a zip top, but I have 2 flap front bags with a snap.

We still write checks too, but I don't usually carry my checkbook in my handbag. We use credit cards and then pay those bills by check. We never use debit cards.
