Shopping tip for ladies

[4greatboys]

I just wanted to remind all the ladies to be careful with their purses while out shopping. I know a lot of us like to sit our purse in the front part of the cart while we shop instead of carrying it around. One time Christmas shopping at Toy R Us I did see a guy run up and grab a ladies purse while she was loading her car. His partner was driving around in the parking lot so all he had to do was jump in the car and take off.
I do put my purse in the front part of the cart but I wrap child safety around the strap several times and lock it--be sure to keep it zipped too. That way of someone runs by thinking they can snatch it up and run off they will be dragging my cart with them as well.
I just wanted to make sure everyones holiday shopping was a little safer and not ruined by some creeps.

Great reminder. I always use the child's safety belt for that too!

I never carry a purse in the mall, I always lock it in the trunk of my car, and either use my debit card or a credit card, (and pay off the balance each month) as I hate to carry anything extra around with me.

While shopping I carry everything in my pocket. I once had my purse stolen while shopping at Meijers and that is something I never want to go through again. Happy shopping!

Thanks for the tip.

Good advice. Thanks. If I go on busy shopping days, I try to bring the minimum of things I'll need so I won't need a purse.

Thanks for the great tip. I will have to start doing that.

I live in Mississippi (nuff said)...I never ever take my purse anywhere, I keep everything in my pocket or if DH is with me he keeps it.
