I used to be such a pack rat. However, I learned the hard way not to carry butter packets around in my purse.
I don't carry Jam or sugar anymore either, though thankfully that's not due to similar disasters.
I also have one of those things that you strap to a bike in order to carry food or something. It's folded up and stuffed in my purse for some reason.
There also used to be a deck of cards, though I suppose that's more sensible by comparison.
Then there's a set of teeny tiny tools, which I still can't think of the use for.
Oh, and guitar strings, still in the wrappers. That actually came in handy once! A guitar pick, as well (a few, actually). Broken pitch-pipe, too.
