How much does your purse weigh?

Depends whether I have a lot of change !
Mine's the same style as yours but at the moment it's light as has no change in.
I notice a difference in the weight of my handbag depending on whether I have my brollie with me.

Good question Kate!

Mine is 356g but, until I offloaded loads of change in M&S yesterday, it was about a ton or is that tonne?

My bag is a ton weight Katek and filled mostly with crap stuff that I think I might need.

Diaries for work and personal, pens, pencils, water, hand gel, wipes, lipstick, 2 huge bunches of keys, purse (heavy in itself), a little bag with personal bit and bobs in it (tampons, paracetamol etc.) mints, the insides of kinder eggs???, glasses,........

I always admire women who go for a night out without their
handbag. I have a friend who does this when out with her DH. Where does she put her lipstick, hairbrush, phone, tissues, purse, small bottle of make up for re-doing, mirror, credit card wallet, and my DH always gives me his car keys and satnav. I asked her once why she didn't carry a bag when out in the evening. She said 'I don't need anything'. I am in awe

Mine is 315g but it's not big enough for everything so I also have a separate small purse for cards. No wonder my bag is so heavy!

378g!!! I only take a small bag and some change, a credit card, lipstick , tissues and a comb. When I used to take a larger bag DH thought I should carry all his junk too- he doesn't think that anymore .

I have to carry a very large handbag because of medical supplies that I need, despite that my purse is still the heaviest thing in the bag and DH reckons it weighs 750g

Only my purse, a small bumbag which I've used since I was robbed many years ago. It weighs 300g. Lots of small change, which I try to use in cash payments,or pay into the bank occasionally.
People don't seem to use cash so much these days, but it's still quite common here. And payment by cheque.

I put some cards into another wallet, eg Nectar etc then always forget to take it with me.

Every few days I go through my purse and take out all the pennies, 2p and 5p pieces and put them in the charity tin.
Then try to spend the rest as fast as I can

On a night out the only things in my small clutch bag would be
Phone
Tissues
Bank card
Lippy in a little holder with mirror.

Keys and cash are what H has pockets for

I dont carry money, thats DH job

My purse weighs very little, it's empty.
I spent too much last month so am aiming to shop only once a week and spend as little as possible this month. I'm desperately missing my newspaper, which was free if I spent £5 in Waitrose but now you have to spend £10 so I can only buy it on Saturdays.
If The Guardian goes bust it's going to be all my fault.

I usually have no cash either, we also save coppers and 5 pences in a jar, surprising how they mount up without missing them . If I ever do get a bit of cash out DH usually takes it, saying to me " I just took that money out of your purse to save me using the card"
He hates cards, and ATM machines, God knows why.

Anyway now I am like The queen...cashless lol

I recycle all the coins my husband brings home in his trouser pockets. A few are kept in the car for car parking but otherwise I regularly have a too heavy purse. I get rid when I buy something for £7 or so I tip out all my change. The shop keeper is generally glad to get it. I make sure there isn't a queue behind me.

I only carry some dog poo bags (in my bra usually, prior to use of course)............and a bank card if I need money. Why cart loads of stuff about ??

DH and I emptied all our copper into a machine at the supermarket last week and was surprised to find we had £14.75 off our shopping bill. I must say I dislike 5pence pieces they are so fiddly and get buried in the bottom of your purse.

I'm with ninathennana in this one I take exactly the same on night out.

They do seem to weigh a ton sometimes lol. I empty small change into a pot every few days, two pound coins go into another pot and if I have too many pound coins a few join them. It's surprising how quickly you collect enough to fill a coin bag.
Five pence pieces are a complete waste of time, why do we need them?
A friend of mine never carries cash, we used to call her Queenie lol. Occasionally had to lend her some but not very often.

Purse 212.6 grams. Since the doc told me my shoulder problems were caused by or exacerbated by my handbag I carry very little- purse, tablets, sunglasses, tissues and driving licence. Oh and my phone if I have no pockets. She did tell me that the upside of carrying that much weight was that I'd be unlikely to suffer from osteoporosis.

I carry a ridiculously heavy handbag with quite a heavy purse despite the fact I make most purchases using credit card and often have little cash. I can't bear to be out without something I might need. When I was married I had a small handbag for evenings out and a tiny purse for a small amount of cash but since my divorce I rarely use it as it is full with just my phone, purse and bunch of keys which I can no longer leave at home!

I cannot understand why many people carry cash, notes, credit cards etc in the same purse. I used to so do until I had my purse stolen whilst shopping which meant I lost everything and had to borrow money from a friend to pay for my shopping. Now I have a purse for cash, another for cards leaving my credit card at home. Would only lose the lot if my large handbag/shopper was stolen.

OMG!! 633g!!!!! And there are very few coins in it at the moment.
I can't think why as I keep cards in a separate holder.
Mind you it is very pretty- Cath Kidson to match my bag so I'm keeping it. My bag always weighs a ton- maybe that is why I have rotator cuff injury in shoulder although I had it in left shoulder first & I only ever carry bag on right shoulder.
What with phone, glasses, sun glasses (I always wear them to drive), diary, brush, sweeteners, keys, pens, tissues, colour swatch, card case etc it is a wonder I can lift it.Kindle too if I am picking children up from school as they are always last out!

I have tried a small bag but usually have to revert to the larger version.

I agree with Bijou but it's like planning a military campaign to have all your necessary STUFF in safe places.

My purse is usually in my bag but I keep my car keys in my pocket in case my bag is stolen. I have the necessary phone number to ring in case I need to stop my cards in the glove pocket of the car and a spare key in my handbag in case I lose the car keys in my pocket.

If somebody steals my bag and raids my pockets I'm stuffed!
