Often but not often enough. I have way too many grocery and other receipts. I also hate coin money and it makes my purse heavy.

I "dump" mine on the bed & go thru it 3x month. I have the large Miche Prima? Bag. Switch shells when I need to match outfit. Am really sorry they are now out of business.
That said, I really need to downsize my bag. My shoulder hurts from dragging it along.
I got a cute little "almost wallet" crossover for our upcoming trip & hope that I love it & can break the "what if I need this- like I'm on let's make a deal or something" mentality.

I'm another one who changes handbags every few days so I don't accumulate rubbish in it.

I clean mine out whenever I change handbags - so that can be every few days or can be a few weeks.

Every couple of days. I carry a very small purse and it bugs me when there is too much in there.

I change purses everyday. My purse needs to match my outfit. So nothing has time to accumulate in there for me to even need to clean it out. Because I'm nosey and a handbag whore lol would you mind sharing how many bags you have? Like for every outfit that must be a lot. Also how do you store them? I have a decent amount of bags (most are in storage) I just have no idea how to store them for easy access.

Rarely and it is the same purse until it falls apart. Me too! Just this morning I was searching for tweezers in the bottom of my purse and couldn't locate them through all the crap, so I finally cleaned it out. It's been a while.

When I can't get stuff in or out of it anymore. I carry a small bag, big enough for my wallet, keys and cellphone. But, I often just cram things in it like receipts and stuff. After a while, it is an effort to get my wallet in and out because of the papers. That is when it is time to clean out.

Daily. I switch purses often, but even if I'm using the same bag, I like it clean. I carry several smaller bags inside my purse, so I just take those out and toss all the other crap.
I'm curious how other people store their bags too. I store my smaller flat bags like my going out purses (crossbodies and clutches) in one of those plastic drawers, but my big ones are kept in the dustbags on a shelf. It makes it a PITA to change purses though. I wish I had a better system.

My daughter gave me a pair of tweezers she found that fell out of my purse yesterday.

When I have to dig to find my essentials, it's time to declutter.

I go through it if I start to see non essential receipts cluttering up the interior. other than that, it's usually pretty clean. I have very few things in my purse and I like to keep it so.

My ex husband used to joke that my car, "Looked like the bottom of a ladies purse"
In fairness to me, this was during the toddler, pre school years when crackers, goldfish, baby bottles, etc. we're used. Now it is full of road ice, popcorn and Goodwill items. LOL.

Every time I change purses. Which could be every few weeks or every few months. I carry a fairly large purse but there is not much in it. I like the large purse so that if I buy something small I can drop it in my purse rather than carry it in my hand.

I didn't realize my habit was quite that bad. I have a very large closet. It's a bedroom that I converted into a closet. I use the actual closet in my closet room as my accessories closet. I removed most of the rods in favor of shelves and my purses are on the shelves. There is one rod left that has hanging jewelry organizers and scarf hangers on it.

I don't care for bags large enough to become junk drawers. I check several times a week to purge any store receipts, tissues, shopping lists.

I clean it out when it gets so crammed of crap that I have trouble finding the things I actually need in there.
Not too often, I'm afraid.

Well, I guess the answer is never. Or almost never. I would do it when I get a new purse, which is pretty rarely.

Post by Merge on Apr 28, 2016 16:38:43 GMT
Almost never - and I got so tired of digging for things like keys and sunglasses that I went out and bought a tiny purse. It only holds my wallet, keys, sunglasses, phone and lipstick. No room for anything else, so nothing accumulates.

I use mine for a long time, too. It always seems filled to the brim with papers, paper clips, pens, hair stuff, lipsticks... I have a lot of trouble keeping coupons in order. I always seem to be digging through there at checkout counters trying to find some 30% off coupon that's gotten stuck to the receipt for dog grooming that needs to be entered into my calendar. I have so much trouble staying organized.

I switch mine out to coordinate with my outfit. I have a makeup bag full of necessities, my wallet, lip balm, kleenex, hand sanitizer, and Altoids. I keep all of that on the top of my handbag stand in my closet. Then just throw it into the next handbag. I also have hooks on the wall by my stand. It's been awhile since I counted, but I have between 30-40 handbags. I like having a variety of colors.

I'm standing at my closet and my quick count comes up with 10 handbags. Five of which I haven't used in the past 3 or 4 years. Out of the 5 that I *do* use, I like exactly 3. Don't you love the diversity on this board?
