bfaddict1977 Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) I don't want to bring a bulky diaper bag on bf. I usually use it for my purse. I'm afraid of it being stolen though. Where can I put my cash and gcs for shopping that is safe? Edited November 20, 2011 by noehlp
tinkrbel Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I keep my credit cards and phone in my jean pocket. With cash I'd seriously consider a fanny pack or the around the neck things with zipper, but CASH makes me paranoid to begin with:(
starbeck96 Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I put all my stuff in my back pocket. I usually carry cash, debit card, and gift cards. If I am in Walmart, I leave my other gift cards in the trunk of the car in a certain hiding spot with the car locked! I carry everything in my back pocket though, so this is not any different from how I normally do things..lol.
zim05 Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I put my Credit Card, Debit Card, Gift Cards, ID, Cash and one check in a zippered pouch and it goes into my coat (zippered) pocket. In the other coat pocket holds the store ad and my list. That way my hands are free to grab things. I do bring my purse along but it stays in my locked trunk.
tehlilone Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I really think I'm just going to bring a small cross-body type bag this year. I'm debating just having my wallet but I'm afraid I'm not that used to just having a wallet anymore. I need a bag but one I don't have to worry about leaving somewhere.
HansieDZ Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I almost always carry cash/credit cards/gift cards in my jeans pockets all the time anyway. I always can feel and know everything is right where it's supposed to be. I have used a fanny pack before but I prefer my pockets.
iamlynn98 Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Ok, well it's a bit embarrassing, but I keep cards/cash in my bra. I do this whenever I don't want to take a purse and/or am afraid losing it. No one is getting in my bra without me knowing it and it is near impossible for the cards to fall out.
bfaddict1977 Posted November 19, 2011 Author Posted November 19, 2011 I am so afraid my money will fall out and I am terrified of someone stealing my bulky diaper bag. My wallet is huge too though so idk what to do:( I have 1 debit card, 1 gc and cash. You think I should chance my pockets? My coat does not zip.
nirvana4all Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Wallet with CC's in front pocket, cell in other front pocket.
tinkrbel Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 My coat does not zip.Does the coat have an inside pocket you can maybe slip a small change purse with cash in? I bought a wristlet at Target a while ago but I'm just not convinced a)it'll be safe and I won't lose it.
Danascraps Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I always wear a fanny pack on black friday... like to keep my hands free and my money close!
BFQueenofNY Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I use a fanny pack so I can keep all the receipts. I hate power shopping with a purse.
MICKEY3601 Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I use a small back pack that cinches at the top. It keeps my hands free and money, credit cards, etc. safe. It is also just big enough to hold ads, phone and keys. After each store I remove that stores ad and receipts and load up for the next store. I am always worried that anything I put in my pockets could fall out whether it is me trying to dig something out or just falling out in the shopping madness. I certainly do not want to lug a purse around.
Deal Grabber Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Cellphone in one cup and debit card in the other.No ones getting in and nothings getting out.
Rockfordmom Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 small cross body purse, I'm sure you can find an inexpensive one at Walmart or Target, I have one i use for black friday & when we go to the zoo or a baseball game or the farmers market... or anywhere I don't want to carry a large purse and want my hands free
DLM Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Cross body purse or fanny pack here. Gotta have two hands on black Friday.
Kara1204 Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I am not very "girlie" so my preference is cargo pants. Big pockets on the thigh that hold everything I need and keep my hands free. Also, no back pain from a purse hanging off one shoulder.
TazErase Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I bring a jacket with zippered pockets and also where military style pants with numerous pockets. I carry lists, ads, pen to check off the items i got, cell phone, etc.
<3my3babies Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I too use my bra. Very safe! My girls don't let anything fall out! In the past I have used a hoodie with a zippered pocket inside the pocket in the front, but I have not found another like it.
mrs.winter Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I use a cross body purse that way everything is in the front of me so I dont lose a thing!!
Lusha121 Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I am so glas I am not the only one who tosses stuff under "the girls" ! Nobody is getting in there, and nothing is getting out. But.... I've actually had someone ask, "if you put your money in there, where do you put your change? :wiggles eyebrows:
