		<description>There&#039;s some evidence that a too-thick wallet contributes to lower back problems due to lopsided posture, so I like to keep mine as thin as possible. Every once in a while I go through my wallet and figure out what I can take out.

For example, I have a good half-dozen reward/discount club cards. Most of the stores just need the barcode, so what I like to do is photocopy the barcode side of the cards, put two together back-to-back, and &quot;laminate&quot; them with a strip of clear packing tape. Takes up a lot less room in the wallet that way.

Better yet is when they just let you use your phone number if you &quot;forgot your card.&quot; I tend to &quot;forget&quot; such cards constantly. Safeway actually lets you punch your phone number into the POS terminal while they&#039;re ringing you up.</description>
