Just from your replies I came up with 34 things for my lists. Unfortunately there is no need for fans in Scotland more like a can of de-icer and a balaclava.

I have always chosen extremely small purses that barely fit my wallet and checkbook at the same time... until I started knitting. Now my purses are big enough to also tuck in a sock knitting or similar very small project. In addition to that, my purse always has: wallet, keys, lip balm, lip color, lip gloss, emery board, a single mint, one pen, small folded paper for notes, cell phone, pocket rosary :) Recently I returned to carrying & using my PDA, so that's a recent addition. As needed, I add one or another of these: iPod mini & headphones, checkbook, Tupperware catalog or flyers (I sell the stuff). I’ll chime in.

Receipts are my pet peeve. I save a lot of them, but never allow them in my bag. I'm not really sure what receipts everyone is hanging onto, but this is my system: At gas stations I say no reciept, at restaurants I tear them in half and toss them on my way out and at stores I always say to put the receipt in the bag. Then, when I get home I take the purchase out of the bag and put the reciept in one of a few places: 1. large home purchases go in the file box with warranties or instruction books 2. clothing reciepts go in a basket on the floor of my closet and 3. others go into a random receipt box in my office. If I'm going to return something, I put the receipt in the bag with the item when I leave to return it. As for store coupons, I keep them in the door of my car next to maps and take them with me on my way into the store I plan to use them in. Restaurant coupons are a huge pain and usually I just store them at home for take out.
