Lately: cell phone, as I don’t often leave the house. The cell phone is just because I’ve been leaving a lot of messages with people about apartments, and don’t feel like leaving the house number there.

Ordinarily: cell phone, wallet, keys, lip balm

Almost always - nothing. Everything goes into the purse. I can’t stand having a bunch of junk in my pockets. Exceptions may be made for the occasional receipt, small change, or kleenex.
