Safety Tip for Girls!

Hello Friends,

I'm glad you stopped by today because I have a safety tip for just us girls.

When we get to the grocery store or Target or really anywhere they have a shopping cart we have to think safety. All of us carry a purse and when we get our cart the first thing we do is open up the child's seat and plop our purse in it. That's all good and well but when we begin to focus on our grocery list we can forget about our purse.

If we really get distracted with a bargain rack we might even walk away from our cart and our purse without even thinking about somebody taking it. First of all we need to make sure our purse is zipped or snapped closed to keep someone from grabbing our wallet right out of it.

As we are getting our cart and reaching for one of those sanitizing wipes to get the cooties off the handle we need to grab the little child's seat belt and buckle our purse to the cart. It only takes a minute to avert any potential disaster.

Its' sad to have to think about someone taking something that doesn't belong to them but it happens way too many times. It's even a good idea to leave our purse buckled onto the cart until we have put our purchases in the car and are ready to return the cart to the cart storage area.

A theft can happen in the store but also in the parking lot when you have your head stuck inside the trunk trying to get everything loaded in.

I hope this will help someone. It only takes a minute to do this and we don't even want to think about all the mess that comes with the loss of our purse.

Have a wonderful "Thrifty" week and remember to buckle up in the car and in the cart!!!
