What's In Your Wallet?

In my case, the one thing I don't want, is a big price tag on it.  Well, I'd like to own an expensive wallet, but I don't want to spend $$$ on it.  In fact, I have a ten-dollar wallet rule.  It must be under ten bucks and it has to be all leather.  My  best wallet buys have been on clearance, either at Burlington Coat Factory Outlet, TJ Maxx or Marshalls.  This time around, I successfully followed the rule, with two dollars to spare!

This one has many zipper compartments.  The one on the outside is probably where I'll keep my quarters to use for the shopping cart at Aldi.

There are two different sections and I'll probably use one to carry coupons.  I might be able to fit my cell phone in one side too.

This could accommodate a check-book.  Remember the days when we used to carry those in our purse?  Now I pay for everything with plastic so I only have to write one check at the end of the month.  If I know I'll be going somewhere that doesn't take my card, I'll bring one check with me.  I don't carry a check around otherwise in case my wallet is stolen.

While my current wallet is still holding up, I have realized that I am more likely to find clearance wallets in February or March, so that is when I shop for one.  I'll retire the old one once it begins to really show signs of wear. I was happy to purchase this so that I have it on hand when I need it.  That I followed my rule with a few dollars to spare, is the best part of all.
