Keep a small folding umbrella and a plastic bag (for when you have a wet umbrella) in your car so that if the weather changes, you are prepared. Its easy to slip into a purse or pocket.
Great idea! And those plastic newspaper sleeves your paperboy uses on rainy days would be the perfect plastic bag to put the umbrella in when it's wet!
Great idea! I've had one in my car for years. I also keep a roll of 4 gallon trash bags from the dollar store in the car next to the umbrella.
