I clean mine out every season. I have a different purse for Winter, one for spring, one for summer and one for Fall. so mine gets all the junk out about every 3-4 months. I am always shoving crap in mine too by the time I change over it weighs an additonal pound or two.

Sheesh, the only time that I clean out my purse is when I just can't find what I'm looking for. Then I have to dump the whole thing out, all frustrated, LOL, and then when I put things back into my purse I get rid of the things that I don't need in it until the next time I can't find what I'm looking for, LOL.

I don't clean out my purse as often as I truly should quite honestly! But when I do it's amazing what I find.. I know that if I don't end up cleaning it out often.. That when I do go out it turns out being a complete mess for me.. As I know that when I've been ready to pay for my items that.. Thank goodness I am able to find my wallet because sometimes I am searching through my purse & there is so much stuff in it.. That I have difficulty sometimes finding what it is that I am looking for.
As well when I am unable to find my cell phone.. That is when I know it is time to clean out my purse.. Because I know that when me & my other half have been at the store sometimes I will be rummaging through my purse looking for my cell.. And I can't take anything out because then stuff will begin to fall on the ground.. It's very frustrating when this happens.. Especially when your standing in the middle of the mall getting all frustrated because you can't find something.. haha.. This has happened to me all to often! . .
I've found some things that I have forgotten about in my purse. That when I actually do come across them I am quite shocked.. For example I've found money in my purse that I've forgotten about. I think there's nothing better then coming across change or even a few dollar bills.. It helps out in the end when you end up needing it for something..
I've also come across my favorite lip gloss or perfume & I am more than happy when this happens.. Especially when I've been looking for it for a while or I haven't used it in quite a while! . .
In conclusion I try to clean my purse out every week or every two weeks or before I am going to use it. I find if I do not do this it ends up just being a not so pleasant trip to the mall for me & whomever I may be going with! . .
Thanks for allowing me to share! xx
