You must be old if you have a purse or a wallet.

I use my phone for paying. Very rarely take a purse out. I do keep a bit of cash at home just in case though.

Always have a purse with me. A few weeks ago met up with DiL and grandkids she was going to purchase something for me on line offered to pay her she declined until said item arrived, she said she laughed Dgs1 said who has £100 in their purse he's used to seeing them pay by phone or card.

I still have a purse , there’s rarely cash in it. Just credit and debit cards , plus store or loyalty cards . I have them all in the wallet on my phone . But sometimes there’s a poor or minimal wifi connection so I like to have physical cards as well .

When the supermarket terminals were down they couldn’t use their cards. The machine outside was closed as it was out of action.

Based on that theory I must be ancient…..I have several purses! And actually, we have been saving our medication blister packs because Boots recycle those now and you can accrue points on the Advantage Card but it is such a blessed faff, can only be done a certain number of times per calendar month, you have to log in to Boots free WiFi in store, get a code from one place and then redeem the voucher within 5 MINUTES! Right pita! Not bothering again as it made me feel ten years older!!

Do they have to be yours? & do they have to come from boots?

Definitely and I love my purse. My late Mum bought it for me and we chose it together. Beautiful soft leather in purple and black.

Cash is still king in our house although I do use my card for main weekly shop. I often forget to take my phone so I would be well and truly stuffed.

It certainly is 👍🏻

Having read the original post I've realised that I also no longer take a purse with me now when I go out. I'd normally take my bus pass in a case which holds a credit card and also my keys which have loyalty card fobs attached.
I don't put my credit cards details on my phone simply because I don't take my phone every time that I go out, and I don't use a handbag - just a small canvas shopper.
I started to do this because I go to the gym several times a week and was worried that my phone might be stolen.
I'd only take the "full works" if I was going to a department store or M&S, with a bigger bag, my purse and all the cards that I normally don't use.

I’ve been in three super markets where the terminals were down.
I could put my shopping through as I had cash.
All the rest had phones so were ranting & raving 😂

That happened to me recently too and all the outraged holidaymakers were fuming as they had no cash.

No but there’s a compartment in my phone case for cards. I keep loose change in my handbag. Haven’t had an actual purse for about 3 years.

I have one of those wee purse type credit card holders and have a£20 note and a few £1 coins in it. So I guess I'm old

Erm yes course. I carry cards, sometimes my DL if I am picking up a parcel & some cash & coins.
I might feel old, but no I am not old.
