Where do you recommend I look to find something cheap (like $20 cheap)? I'd prefer to shop online vs. in store, so even though I know I might luck out at TJ Maxx or Marshalls, I'd rather start my search elsewhere first.

Re: I need a new purse
TJ Maxx was going to be my suggestion. I don't think I've ever purse shopped online because I like to investigate the inside before I buy.
I'm curious what others say now.

What about this one? It's more than $20.

Or if you really want to stay under $20, this one

Okay, since you guys seem to want to help me find a purse, let me give you an idea of what I'm looking for:
Something small. My current purse is probably 9 inches long by 6 inches tall. I am like the opposite of Rachel Zoe.Preferably in black.Something that can handle some abuse (not cloth, etc.).Has a spot I can put my cell phone (does not necessarily have to be made for that purpose -- my current purse has one of those zippered wallet type things on the outside of the purse where I shove my phone); preferably on the outside so I can hear when it ringsMust be zippered because I will inevitably spill the contents if they are not fully contained"That chick wins at Penises, for sure." -- Fenton
Bethie, the pockets in that bag are amazing. I need more pockets.
edit: I have seriously considered buying that infomercial product that is a punch of purse pockets that can be moved from purse to purse.
Ooh, good job Mr. Loblaw! Mine took a super long time, but she was on vacation when I bought it.
I love it so much, though. Totally worth the wait.
The nerve!

I saw that, but I don't think I have any purses that are the same size/shape and could actually work with that sort of thing.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
To address the question, "why not spend more on a purse?" I give you Exhibit A, the purse I am carrying right now. Got it on sale for $11 (originally $80), and have used it every winter for at least some period of time since circa 2002/2003 when I bought it. It's in fine shape.
So I understand Cali's hesitancy to spend more than $20, although I have caved in recent years, spending up to $35 on a purse! Incredible. That said, I do not advise veering off course from the TJ Maxx route. That's your best bet.
Here's what I got for you:

This one is $42 but leather, crossbody, and the right size.
