4.  Get a key holder:  The original Finders Key Purse at Isn’t This Clever   A recent study of 2,000 customers by British auto insurer Swinton finds that motorists spend an average of one minute, 15 second searching for their car keys on a daily basis. That means in a year one spends over 7 hours doing “the dig” – Finders Key Purse® prevents the “dig”.

6.  Use a smaller purse, such as a wrist-let, to hold cell phone, keys, license, and debit/credit card and drop this into a larger purse. Then you can easily locate the essentials and grab only this to make a quick stop at a store.

7.  To reduce receipt overload, have clerk put receipts into the shopping bags instead of putting them into your wallet.  When you get home, collect all the receipts from the bags and put in a designated receipt spot.  If you need to make a return, get the receipt from this spot and put with the item.

8.  Carry a small accordion/index file in your purse for receipts.  File each receipt into the month or category as you get them.
