Wallet

I am like most women and love purses and wallets. Finding the wallet that works best for me has been a challenge as I love my loyalty cards and running a GIFT CARD BUDGET. I also needed a wallet that can hold a lot of change, any Canadian knows these toonies and loonies add up fast.  After receving a Michael Kors wallet that I LOVED and spent a small fortune on I realized it didn't work for me. Side bar, it was sold online for what it was paid for, phew. It was hard for me to realize this, but my need to be frugal far outweighed my want for a nice wallet.
The wallet that works best for me is from 31 Gifts, and is called the Benjamin.  It holds a lot of cards, currently has 32 cards in it (OMG 32 really?) and it zips up so my lose coupons also don't fall out. It also has a wristlet to be carried without being in a purse.
I have a second wallet though for the cards that I don't use regularly. I live an hour away from the closest city and many of my cards that I have are used only when I shop there.
This smaller wallet holds my gift cards and loyalty cards for these stores. When I am making  a trip to the city I just throw that wallet in with my purse. It lightens the load a bit.
BONUS FRUGAL TIP
A saving tip I use is to think about my purchases from stores for 24 hours. I carry the gift cards to stores that tempt me in my secondary wallet. This way, when I am out and about and browse stores ( Winners, oh Winners we have a love hate) I won't make an impulse buy because my gift card for there is in my other wallet. This helps me sit on my decision and decide if I really want it. Most times, the answer is no.
