In-store shopping tips — Keep your purse tucked securely under your arm and your wallet in a front pocket or other place safer place than a back pocket.

Keep receipts in your wallet.

Wait a second, by the time you load up all those receipts in your traditional billfold, you are bound to end up with a big fat butt brick! We suggest accumulating those receipts in a safe place other than your billfold. If you need help making sure to always keep your receipts in a separate and safe place, just get a Slimmy. It’s slim enough for your front pocket and will make you get rid of stuff you don’t need. Keep your receipts in your sock!
