What's in My Wallet? (And Purse)

Here's what's in my wallet - the idea comes complimentary of Cap at Stop Buying Crap, who also has a big list of what's in lots of other bloggers' wallets.

I don't have a proper wallet, it's two card pockets with a keyring on the outside. This was very useful in college since I could just grab it and know I had everything. However, nowadays I rarely need both my keys and my wallet at the same time (no dorm to get locked out of) and besides I carry a purse. The keys are now on a Shaun the sheep keyring in my purse.

Contents:

CWRU student ID card (used to get student discounts on movies)
Fifth Third Bank debit card

I do have two other credit cards, one which is a back-up and one which has my 3.9% for life balance on it, but I don't carry those with me. I also hardly ever carry any cash with me, sometimes a few dollars but none today.


What's in my purse is actually a lot more interesting, as I like to be prepared for anything I can think of, and since I carry my purse with me everywhere it's full of random crap. It is not a big purse and I probably need a new one soon as there is a hole in the corner that I can stick my finger through. I bought it from ebags and you can see a similar one here, although mine is black. But I can't really justify buying one just yet...

Anyway, here is what I have in my purse:

Cell phone
Change (actually just one quarter, I emptied the change into my piggy bank a while ago)
Small clasp mirror (free from reflect.com when I was about 16)
Business card from place that I had second job a while ago
Old grocery list
Receipt for Solarcaine and water (got sunburned at the baseball game last weekend)
Work ID badge with Donate Life shirt clip (I should probably be wearing this)
Extra ID badge shirt clip that says Transplant and has university logo
Barrette
Aranesp pen
Welsh Society of Central Ohio pen
Ticket from baseball game (Indians vs Reds)
Keys (Shaun keyring, apartment key, work key, and little scan cards for Petco, Kroger, Tops, and Ben & Jerry's)
Paperclip
Officemax pen
Valcyte pen (tiger print!)
Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh pen
Vitamin E lipstick thingy
Ponytail holder
Band-aids
About 15 business cards
Small hairbrush
Flossers in small ziplock
Q-tips in small ziplock
Tide To Go pen
Passport
Boyfriend's comb
Poncho in small box
Pad of paper
Tickets for local baseball game we did not go to
Shout wipe
2 wet wipes from Smokey Bones
Mechanical pencil
Collections letter from the Plain Dealer for subscription I did not authorize (still trying to get that one worked out)
Baseball ticket receipt
Radiation dosimeter badge from my lab job in college (where we never actually did get any radioactive material)
Other office keys that I rarely use
Small box with sorority pendant and pledge pin

Now keep in mind that this is in fact a small purse (somewhat larger than a tissue box) and the main pouch has quite a lot of room in it.. most of this stuff is in the secondary pouches. Imagine how much more crap I would cart around with a larger purse. =)
