I need a new wallet

last month

Wallets are one of those things that I think really need to be handled before buying - to know how it feels in your hand, to see the quality of the material, etc. And now I need a new wallet because mine has disappeared, and I hate shopping for wallets.

The good news is that it only took me 11 minutes to get a new driver's license, car registration, and health card ordered at the local provincial government office.

Just griping about looking for a new leather wallet. My old one was broken in perfectly :(

Oh, do I ever hear you. Mine is dilapidated to the extent that I might be at risk of things falling out.

I always gravitated toward leather, but I now want a material that is lighter and durable.

Cloth? Fiberglass cloth and resin? Miracle Material — light and strong and adds high level paper money and a few gold coins every 18 hours, or more frequently if the owner is a heavy spender.

All I know is that almost all wallets are made for righties. Good luck in your search.

New turkey fryer but I think I need a new hose
Q
Comments (0)
I bought an outdoor turkey fryer yesterday. However, the regulator/hose assembly is attached to a timer/safety device that makes running it next to impossible. It won't stay lit and once you think it will, it goes out. I have seen many burner assemblies similar to this one where the regulator/hose assembly attaches directly to the burner. That's what i would like. However, the end of the hose that goes into the timer/safety device is just a little too small to screw directly into the burner. Is there a fitting that I can buy to get them to work together? Or, will I need a new hose? It looks like the longer portion of the hose can be disconnected from the regulator and likely replaced with a hose that has the correct size male fitting on it. Is this right? Obviously I'm looking for the most reasonable but safe fix. Thanks, Greg

I just bought one. I have never spent that much money on a purse but it is so cute. I saw someone with it at Kohl's and fell in love with it and went home and found it online and bought it. I love it. Use it Nicole and enjoy it. My mom jokes with me that if someone steals it, they can keep my wallet, just give me my Coach purse back lol.

I want a Walker Zanger look that doesn't destroy my wallet

I love those and am looking for something with a similar feel. I had a chat with a salesperson I like at my local tile store who carried something very similar and she said the sheer fact of the matter is that because it's stone and it's very small pieces, it's always going to be expensive. Labor and materials add up. I'm not saying you can't get cheaper than the WZ, but I agree that you can't count on finding a stone mosaic like that for $1K. Her suggestion for a similar feel was ceramic or porcelain, with a design on it that gave the same complex, interlocked, geometric feel (which is what I love, I'm not so hooked on needing several colors) and maybe you could find something like that you like with a matte glaze. Alternatively, I see that you said you can't do a focal point/statement wall, but could you find a compatible and much more reasonably priced field tile and use it as a border?

Need a new wallet- why cant I pick one out
Q

Sheila, I have a Fossil watch that has 18 slots. I just tried to find my wallet on their website but it's not there, which is odd since I just bought it this past spring. I even looked on other websites to see if maybe it was an old style, but I still couldn't find it. Mine has two sections, one is a zippered section that has 6 slots, a zippered section in the middle for coins, and two spaces for dollar bills. then there is a portion that closes with a flap tab. When you open that, there are two sides with six slots each, as well as a long open section behind each that could hold either dollar bills, receipts or whatever. While I don't "need" all the things I keep in this slots, I do prefer to have everything in one wallet. I am out and about all time time, and will often make impromptu, unplanned stops, so having all my gift cards, library cards, credit/debit cards in one spot works best for me. If I'm going somewhere that I really don't want to carry all of that, say to dinner out with dh or if I'm traveling, I have a small change purse that I put in a small purse (if necessary) and just bring my license, a debit/card card and money. It could also hold my cell phone but I have a bulky, sturdy case on my phone so with that on, I can't put it in the wallet. It does fit though if I take the case off. I also bought a separate strap so that I can hold it by the strap (like a wristlet sort of) if I need use of my hands. Ms. Rose, my wallet was about $65. My last Fossil wallet which I absolutely loved but is discontinued, I found at TJ Maxx for $25. I've had cheaper wallets and they were fine, but I have to say that the Fossil is much better quality than the cheaper ones I had. I'm not a purse-aholic, and don't buy new purses often, so don't mind spending for a good quality leather wallet since I use it every day.

I’ve given these to the guys in my family and they all love it. I’m going to get one myself, with a band accessory to hold some bills. I think it will be especially useful for an upcoming trip.

You can find them here: Segrid card cases

The last time I bought a wallet, I almost fell over. The prices! But you need something that holds up. Both DH and I have Longchamp wallets. Very well-made, but very costly. I do have a Fossil mini wallet that I use for traveling, since I am not carrying my entire life around in it. You have to see and touch a wallet before you buy. Good luck.

I have a small wallet for travel, which has space for 3 cards, and a zippered area for cash or something small like a coat check ticket....When I'm travelling, I usually just need a credit card, my hotel key card, and a card with my travel insurance info. But when I'm home I have many other cards to include (DL, health ins, library card, car key card, CAA memb, and my hospital patient ID) as well as some cash.

I use one of these and the front pouch is my 'wallet'. This way it's always with me and is never left behind or lifted. I get so nervous when I see women who leave their purses in the front of their shopping cart, open and their wallet in plain sight. Good way to lose it!

The strap is adustable quickly and easily so it can be converted from purse with a short strap, to cross body or a fanny pack. So when I take a walk, I just strap it on and away I go.

Someone recommended a Fossil wallet to me years ago. I use it exclusively and it's still in great condition. I really like it.

You always need to make sure that there are enogh slots for things. That's DH's issue. He needs 8, and most men's wallets have only six.

" a Fossil wallet "

I've been given the same recommendation and I've looked at them - nice, except for the logo. I'll buy Canadian if there's something I like, though. YMMV.

I stopped using a wallet decades ago once highly organized purses from brands like Hobo and Brighton became known to me. So, I can't really help you.

An American one might be less expensive. Unless it's one of the goods Canada has chosen to impose a large tariff on. ;-)

There are more important concerns than money for me these days.

I hate shopping for wallets, too. Right up there with purses, jeans and shoes for me. I just bought "The Lo" wallet at Andar, on sale, in an effort to streamline the amount of stuff I carry. It's small, but has 11 card slots and room for cash. Good luck in your quest!

Just recently bought a new wallet at Kohls, thought I could tell you what the brand is but I looked and there is no name on it, only a logo which I can't make out. Anyway, it was expensive, like $40 but on sale, and because I used my card (which I rarely do) final cost was $23. I picked out the one I thought was closest to my old one in design. However, when I got home and was transferring cards and such into it - there was no zippered compartment for change! Is this the thing now? I always carry some change. So I used the zippered pocket on the back of it. Now I have to be careful because it comes open sometimes and I lose coins.

ETA: there wasn't much of a selection of wallets either. If I remember there was like four designs in like three or four colors each.

Am I the only one who needs RFID protection in a wallet, or is that included in the mentioned brands?

" RFID protection "

I put my cards in RFID protection sleeves, so it doesn't matter what I'm carrying them in (wallet, pocket etc.) You can get them for about 50 cents each if you buy 8 or 10 at a time. You can even get fancy colours or patterns. (Aluminum foil is really all you need, so they're cheap and lightweight). I have ones for my passport and Nexus card too.
